IRAQ SPLITTING DEMOCRATS AND 2008 VOTE
As August is coming to an end and Congress is preparing to return to Washington after the Labor Day weekend, Congressional Democrats are facing a dilemma which may lead to their losing the majority in next years election.....Iraq.
South Carolina's ( don't blame him on the majority of SC), James Clyburn the House Majority Whip recently stated that a successful report by General Patraeus in September would not be good for Democrats. This statement by Clyburn is in reality becoming a fulfilled prophecy.
The dilemma that Democrats are facing is the result of their own leadership and the liberal agenda which continually demands a quick or short phased pull out of Iraq regardless of success or the sentiment of the people.
Recent polls are showing that as the surge continues to show success combined with the anticipated positive report by General Patraeus coming in September, the mood of the country is changing toward Iraq to a more positive out look and staying in country until the job is completed.
Even liberal rags like the New York Times have been printing articles by very liberal writers saying that the United States can win in Iraq. Some of the Democrat Presidential candidates are even admitting that the surge is working. Hillary, (the Hildabeast), Clinton in a recent speech before the Veterans of Foreign Wars admitted as such but then in order to appease her liberal supporters followed this admission by stating that she believed it was, "to late to win." Go figure. In her pandering for votes she placed herself squarely in the middle of the fence with the fence post directly under her liberal butt!
The problem now that is facing Democrats as stated by Congressman Clyburn is that because of the successful news coming out of Iraq Congressional Democrats are facing a split in their position over Iraq. In recent months while Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, John Murtha, to name a few, have been blasting the war with their usual surrender rhetoric, Democrats have for the most part had a united front in calling for a quick pull out regardless of the consequences. This position has satisfied the liberal base and kept the Move On . orgs and Daily Kos liberals happy.
Now with the success of the surge being so apparent the so called , "Blue Dog , " Democrats face either siding with the liberals like Pelosi who regardless of success will always find a way to spin the rhetoric toward defeat and failure, or following the voice of their constituency.
The, "Blue Dogs, " whose election to Congress last November was the key factor in Democrats gaining the Majority for the most part belong to districts who are moderate to conservative. These districts have traditionally either voted GOP or for a more conservative leaning Democrat. Most of the, "Blue Dogs, " were voted into office because of the back lash toward Republicans last year.
As a result these Democrats face the same type of back lash from their districts if they side with Congressional liberals when a successful report is given by General Patraeus and these same liberals stick to their hard core surrender at all costs attitude.
This is where the split in the surrender coalition places Democrats in a precarious situation as we move into an election year. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid will use every political strong arm tactic with the, "Blue Dogs, " to prevent Democrats from showing anything but a united front on Iraq, following the liberal surrender doctrine. The , "Blue Dogs, " then will be faced with caving to the leadership and possibly losing their seat or standing with their constituents on Iraq and facing the wrath of Nancy and Harry which will isolate them in Congress while watching the Speaker prevent any money or programs for their districts from ever reaching the House floor.
It has always been said that good news in Iraq and good news for the country is bad news for Democrats. Well the good news is that this particular statement is not only coming to fruition but is placing the Democrats in danger of losing the majority that they live for and the power that they seek. Which of course IS good news for the country!

Exactly right, Ken. And let them keep on denying the truth, because they are drilling holes in their own boat. Good news indeed!
I wish I knew how to do graphics. I think a cartoon of Hillary, Obama, Reid, Pelosi, etc., on the high sea and in a large boat, all busy drilling holes in the bottom of it would make a great graphic. :)
Great idea Gayle. Wish I Knew that one myself. Even without the cartoon they are imploding at a fast pace! Great news!
All these Congressmen and Senators keep coming back from Iraq saying that the surge is working.
A month ago I would have said that we had an uphill fight in September. The reverse is now true.
The tide of public opinion in turning.
Americans don't want to lose.
Agreed Mike, this could very well be the blow that brings about the full implosion of the Dems!
I love the latest comment from Shrillary about how it is evident that the surge is having an effect, but we still need to bring our troops home now.
Huh? Yay! We are winning. . . Ok, let's go home now.
What the hell is that logic?
They are shooting themselves in the feet and I couldn't be happier. They say what they think you want to hear and then when the situation differs, they turn around and say the opposite. I just hope people are smart enought at the polls to see through them!!
Ken: Have I told you how nice it is to visit here and not have to trip over comments from that idiot Mudkitty?
Did you finally take a collection to send her for some therapy?
I may have to sacrifice one of my moonbats in celebration!
