Dems as weak tea....


You'll notice the liberal NY Times commentators are now attacking the Dems. They simply don't believe the Dems are offering anything special to the electorate. Indeed, they think that Dems are gutless, given their unwillingness to oppose Bush.

The Times and her writers don't understand, however, that Dems are not only gutless, they are unprincipled. They claimed they would enact all of the 9/11 Report's recommendations. They did not. They claimed they would reform earmarks.They did not. They even claimed they would work to bring the soldiers home from Iraq. They have not. All these claims were simply things they said to get elected. Once there, they decided all these things weren't worth doing if it meant possibly losing their power.

The latest take on this theme is from Bob Herbert about the Dem candidates for president:

Did any of you leftists see Hillary squirm about drivers' licenses for illegals? And then did you see Obama pounce on the issue like a cat with a ball of yarn? And then did you see Obama falter when he himself was asked about drivers' licenses for illegals?

Have any of you heard John Edwards go on and on and on and on about "corporate lobbyists" being the most evil thing since Satan, only to embarrass himself about taking money from trial lawyers? His response was "None of us is perfect." Hey, Edwards, how about "All of us are hypocrites"?
