One of the big reasons that some Democratic suits have offered for not impeaching President Bush and holding him accountable for LYING AMERICA INTO A WAR is because it would be bad for the Democratic Party. So just like the Republicans put politics first when they tried to impeach President Clinton, the Democrats are now putting politics first when they are refusing to consider impeaching President Bush.
But it's not just impeachment y'all.
The Democratic Party puts party over everything, so they will sell out on every single point, and here's an example from the New York Times:
http://fairuse.100webcustomers.com/fairenough/nyt669.html.
Even the Democrats, with an eye toward 2008, have dropped talk of a race for the exits, in favor of a brisk stroll. But that may be the only solace for Mr. Bush as he returns from a messy encounter with Iraq’s prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki.Yep, that's right, folks! "Even Democrats,
with an eye toward 2008, have dropped talk of a race for the exits" in Iraq. And who didn't expect that? All that talk of ending the war was just to get people to the polls to vote Democratic, but now that the Democrats are in, they're going to be "moderate" and do exactly what Bush has been doing all along.
Just like they won't move toward impeachment because it would "hurt" the worthless Democratic Party, they're going to shy away from getting American soldiers out of Iraq, because they don't want Republicans to call them names and spoil their chances for 2008. (But if the Democrats aren't going to impeach Bush and they aren't going to get us out of Iraq, then who cares if they "win" in 2008 or not, except for the people who think of politics as a football game and just want their team to win, and that whatever happens afterward is irrelevant?)
I wonder what else the Democratic Party will back off on. Pretty soon, you'll hear them say that they don't want to raise the minimum wage because they're more focused on the 2008 election. And they won't do anything about health care costs or college tuition, because it's just more practical to think about winning the presidency in 2008. And on and on it will go. And there won't be a single difference between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party except the letter after the name of party members.
The Democratic Party is officially a sellout party. They don't stand for anything except capital letter Ds. That's the only thing they will refuse to give up. Otherwise, they will be just like the Republicans on every issue. Watch and see.
It won't stop with not investigating the executive branch and holding those blood-soaked psychopathic criminals in our government accountable. And it won't stop with backing off on bringing American soldiers home from Iraq. This rottenness goes all the way to the core. All that matters to the Democratic suits is that they win elections. All the principles they spout beforehand are just marketing. They don't mean a word of it. They are selling out every reason people elected them so they can win in 2008. And they will do the same thing in 2008. They will run on this or that, and then if they win the presidency, they will preach pragmatism and say that they can't actually fulfill any of their campaign promises because they have to focus on winning the 2010 elections.
This is just the beginning. Watch and see if the Democrats don't fall away from everything they talked about before the election. And what's really disturbing is that it's not just the Democrats in Washington, but it's also lots of the rank-and-file voters like the ones who post on this blog.
