The Chicken Doves - We will get NOWHERE with Reid & Pelosi

Reid and Pelosi have been isolated in the Washington Xanadu far too long. Neither are quaified for Leadership in the current environment. We need serious change in these positions if we are going to get anywhere.

The Chicken Doves

Quietly, while Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have been inspiring Democrats everywhere with their rolling bitchfest, congressional superduo Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi have completed one of the most awesome political collapses since Neville Chamberlain. At long last, the Democratic leaders of Congress have publicly surrendered on the Iraq War, just one year after being swept into power with a firm mandate to end it.Solidifying his reputation as one of the biggest pussies in U.S. political history, Reid explained his decision to refocus his party’s energies on topics other than ending the war by saying he just couldn’t fit Iraq into his busy schedule. “We have the presidential election,” Reid said recently. “Our time is really squeezed.”

There was much public shedding of tears among the Democratic leadership, as Reid, Pelosi and other congressional heavyweights expressed deep sadness that their valiant charge up the hill of change had been thwarted by circumstances beyond their control - that, as much as they would love to continue trying to end the catastrophic Iraq deal, they would now have to wait until, oh, 2009 to try again. “We’ll have a new president,” said Pelosi. “And I do think at that time we’ll take a fresh look at it.”

Pelosi seemed especially broken up about having to surrender on Iraq, sounding like an NFL coach in a postgame presser, trying with a straight face to explain why he punted on first-and-goal. “We just didn’t have any plays we liked down there,” said the coach of the 0-15 Dems. “Sometimes you just have to play the field-position game….”

In reality, though, Pelosi and the Democrats were actually engaged in some serious point-shaving. Working behind the scenes, the Democrats have systematically taken over the anti-war movement, packing the nation’s leading group with party consultants more interested in attacking the GOP than ending the war. “Our focus is on the Republicans,” one Democratic apparatchik in charge of the anti-war coalition declared. “How can we juice up attacks on them?”

It may not seem like it, but the Dems are actually in control of Congress. They'd just rather play the victims because they think it drives up campaign contributions from saps like us.

There aren't all that many left that remember how to do it.

Why can't we just all be friends?

Another chorus of Kumbyyah, anyone?

The Schorch & Burn policies of Delay and Newt have seen to that.

The ONLY way to get our Democracy BAck now is to CRUSH the republicans, their supporteers and everything they stand for.
Maybe in a generation or two we can talke about 'All getting along"

Oh wait - right, Obama wants to Nice them all into line

doesn't include them. They know in their hearts all America looks to them as heroes...Why Congress has been vilified is beyond them..:crazy:

lol
