The Democratic Party: Sabotaging The Iraq War, Sabotaging America
Fact: The Democratic Party undermines the United States and the American way of life every chance it gets.
Whether it is destroying the American economy and jobs with high taxation, giving amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants and millions more of their family members, or making life easier for terrorists, you can count on the Democratic Party to do the exact opposite of what is best for America.
Just a few months ago, Democrats failed in their pathetic attempt to force a withdrawal of troops from Iraq. The DFL didn’t even have enough votes from fellow Democrats without tacking on billions in pork-barrel spending to gain votes. (Democrats are whores waiting to be bought with the frivolous spending of taxpayer dollars.)
Yet despite their recent failings, Democrats are back in full force with their “Sabotage The Iraq War” campaign. The DFL’s latest proposal is to withdraw most troops from Iraq by April of 2008, leaving a small number behind to conduct training and engage in anti-terrorism operations. (Article)
But isn’t the Democrat’s latest proposal contrary to the wishes of their vocal, anti-war base? I thought the anti-war liberals wanted all troops out of Iraq immediately.
Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid (D-NV), is planning a rare all-night session–a theatrical gesture designed to appease the Democrats’ liberal base. A quote by Reid from the article:
We have to force the president to change this; otherwise we’re going to have American soldiers killed for the next 18 months unnecessarily.
Interesting… What makes anti-war liberals think that American soldiers subscribe to their views on anything? During the 2004 presidential election, military personnel supported George Bush over born-again, anti-war zealot John Kerry by a four-to-one margin.
Still, the Democrats are not talking about what will happen to Iraq if we leave. Democrats don’t like to look at issues logically, partly because they lack the logical reasoning ability and partly because if they did, they would realize that their policies make no sense at all.
Sure, it’s sad that American troops are being killed. There are many children who will grow up without a father. But, Democrats are not concerned about the loss of human life. They are concerned about pandering to their vocal anti-war base.
How can we tell? Easily: Since the start of the Iraq war, approximately 3,600 soldiers have been killed fighting terrorists. During that same period of time, approximately 52,000 people have been murdered in America—the majority of them murdered in Democrat-controlled inner cities by the Democrats’ most loyal voting bloc.
If Democrats cared about human life, they would look in their own backyards and do something about the senseless murders in their own communities. They would do something about the high rates of rape, robbery, and violent crime in Democrat-voting strongholds. But they don’t. And they won’t.
The DFL is using the Iraq War exclusively for political purposes because of its high visibility. Don’t expect Democrats to talk about the 16,500 people murdered each year. Those victims are nameless, faceless, and they won’t be the lead story on the national nightly newscasts. Thus, there is no political benefit for the Democrats.
