Default Antiwar Dems need adult supervision

Daniel Henniger at the Wall Street Journal On-Line offers these observations about our quisling surrender-artists, the Dhimmicrats....

Quote:
Well, the Democratic Party would rather have Ned Lamont. That commitment was sealed Wednesday when Mr. Lieberman's longtime colleagues in the Senate, in one of the least edifying spectacles in recent political history, pledged their troth to the one-issue neophyte, Ned Lamont. Sens. Kennedy, Kerry, Clinton, Biden, Reid and, most embarrassing of all, Chris Dodd of Connecticut, participated in what can only be seen as a tragic Shakespearean assassination of a former colleague.

With the knifing of Joe Lieberman, the Democrats have locked in as the antiwar party. No turning back now. You're in or you're out. And this will be enforced. Susan Estrich, formerly of Dukakis for President, told the Fox News Channel this week that Hillary Clinton "has got to get herself in a position where she's for withdrawal of troops in Iraq before the next Democratic primary."

Running as the antiwar party amid a world obviously vulnerable to pitiless terror will require political suppleness. But the younger generation of Democratic activists--widely praised for their irreverence and antic energy--may not fit the sober public mood now.

This isn't the moment for a politics based on comics turning the president and vice president into joke material. The national mood may not be right now for extended blogospheric daisy chains of smack-the-enemy or cool wordplays with people's names. This isn't a game anymore. Not after yesterday's news.

What the Democratic Party needs more than anything for the way forward is adult supervision. Who's going to provide that? Bill Clinton? Joe Biden? Howard Dean? Not likely.
Why are Democrats willing to risk our nation's future by sabotaging and losing the war on terror? How can they possibly say we are winning, by screaming cut and run? Oh. We're not winning, if we listen to them. The number of dead muslim combatants says something else about which side in this war has the strongest resolve, or which side is winning.

The same catamites who think 2,500 KIA is unacceptable would have been breaking down Hitler's door to surrender after the carnage at Omaha Beach. They'd have gone into hydraulic sniveling, learning of Correigidor or of Iwo Jima. Gutless bawling cowards are terrified of having to accept the responsibility side of national defense. It isn't an election-year toy, it's our national safety. Of course Dems will deny that, claiming the UK arrests were "deliberately timed" to aid George Bush. They already are saying it. There's a lot of cosmic-level stupidity floating around the moonbat brigade.

Abraham Lincoln deported a U.S. Congressman for seditious remarks. Let's continue that tradition, and start with Pelosi, Reid, and Murtha. Hey, make it a gift pack. Toss in any three warm bodies found plotting against America, business as usual at the New York Times.

Default seems to me

if democratic Sens. Kennedy, Kerry, Clinton, Biden, Reid and Chris Dodd had expressed their continued support for LIEberman, you would have crowed how dysfunctional the democratic party was to eat one of its young.

if one of your neocon cohort had lost a primary and run on an independent ticket, undermining the prospect for a republican victory, he would be vilified by your side as a disloyal turncoat. yet you would have democrats defend and support such party treason as LIEberman has committed.

That's melon-farming jive if I ever heard it. Had they continued support for him, he'd coast to victory as a Dem instead of having to earn it as an independent, proving the corruptocrats as venal as they are. Joe Lieberman only lost a little time in regaining his office in Washington.

"Party treason" = supports the effort to defend America. Whose side are they on?

Pee ess. For the politically illiterate, I am not a neo-anything. I was and remain the conservative I was in 1966 when I met Barry Goldwater and wondered who thought he was a conservative.

n.2. Democrat. One unwilling to acknowledge evil, or show any desire to oppose it. Also see quisling, traitor, sociopathic.

Default judgin' from his tracks, he's about six and a half feet tall

If not for an over-amplified scream, Howard Dean most likely would have won the Dem nomination in 2004. I see the same thing happening this time. As in CT, the far-left chose the party's nominee - with no regard for which candidate was most likely to win or even which candidate most matches the constituency. If the Dems have to kowtow to the farthest left among them in order to be allowed to run, can they win a general election?

Hillary will try to play both sides. I do think she's likely to get the nomination. But, I think the republicans will nominate a candidate who can beat her. I think Giuliani or McCain would utterly embarrass her.

Default we should be talking with Iran

Ultimately, there are just a few "destinations" in the tree of terrorism - and we pretty much know that Iran is one of them. Let's say, it's one of the big ones. Whatever AQ has morphed into, might be influential too - that kind of thing - so let's say there's "a few" groups of interest. Seems to me, it would be well worth establshing whatever dialogues we can, "early". Eventually, the only solution is going to be getting to the people pulling the strings, and that's kinda hard to do when they're isolated. Engagement can't possibly hurt, and it could be very valuable at some point.

DIALOGUE....

America: Give up your nuke programs, like the UN wants.

Iran: Make me.

America:

FOR SALE: glowing Middle East crater. Self-warming for many centuries. Seats many Democrats.

Sadly, it's clear the Dems would risk eveything to regain power. Everything including the saftey of the American people they represent. Liberals who vote these Lefties into office should be ashamed of themselves. I live in CT and am appalled at the Lamont win -

Chris Dodd is a spineless cog in the ruined gears of the Engine Democracy.

It is called a primary election for a reason. Because the winner gets to be the canidate on final ticket.

I know all you republicans are baffled by the concept of a free election and putting the will of the people above the party, but that is why the right wing is going to loose badly in the fall.

Default If antiwar Dems need adult supervision . . .

then Pro-war Repubs are going to need a diaper change after the November election.
