I realize the short answer to this, is "no." One need only look at the day-to-day conversations with pinheads who can't comprehend basic language. I am wondering, after listening to the enthused and energized liberal leaders espouse the liberal mantra for a few days, and reading some of the arguments and debates on this board, if they really understand and comprehend what this election meant, or what they won.
It seems that some pinheads actually think, this election was a vote of confidence for Bush Bashers, to continue criticizing, bashing, and trashing the president for another two years. Sort of like a Gold Star for good effort. That this election, merely extends the calls for 'change' until '08, when the Democrats can hold the White House too. In other words, they think the American people voted for no change, just partisan positioning toward bigger change in '08. America voted to allow Democrats to position themselves for a complete control of all bodies, not to change anything now. They will even tell you, they can't change anything, they can merely suggest change to the president. Sort of like they were doing already, just with chairman titles now.
On Iraq, we find post after post on thread after thread, since the elections, which sound exactly like the posts before the elections. There is little change. Other than having a little more confidence in their voices, we hear the same exact rhetorical arguments, and pointless discussion of why we shouldn't have gone into Iraq and how Bush is incompetent, and this is an unjust war.
It's as if the Pinheads don't understand, the now Democrat Congress has the sole Constitutional authority to wage wars, not the President. The American people cited Iraq as their first concern, and put Democrats in charge of Congress on the promise of "change." Murtha and Pelosi think an immediate redeployment is in order, so is this the "change" people voted for? We can't really have a debate or discussion on it, because pinheads seem to be stuck in the past, pre-election, and just want to keep bashing and criticizing Bush for going in the first place. You won the argument, we have moved on to a different one.
The people didn't vote for two more years of criticism and whining about Bush, if that was what they wanted, they would have re-elected Republicans. The people voted for change, and primarily, in Iraq. So, let's have it... what is going to change? Rumy is gone, Bolton is probably gone too, and hey... maybe we can get that nice Tom Daschle to wear his pink tie and go up to the UN? He would fit right in, wouldn't he? But... When is the vote for defunding? When are the troops coming home? Why can't they call a special session, and get them home for the Holiday's? Those are questions the pinheads don't seem to want to answer, yet that is what they ran on, and that is apparently why the American people elected them into power.
Every now and then, you catch a fleeting glimpse of a pinhead who almost comprehends. Nancy Pelosi said, "we were elected, and now we will be expected to show results." ...Oh sure, we already hear of plans to dice up the Bush tax cuts and raise the minimum wage, pay for pinhead insurance, school and daycare... whatever the fuck else pinheads can think to spend our money on. The issue was Iraq, not liberalism. Six of ten voters said, they prefer a smaller government, or less government spending. Most of the Democrats who knocked off Republicans, were conservative Democrats, running on conservative principles, the primary issue was Iraq and Bush policy.
Democrats are poised to make the same mistake Republicans made in 1996, in believing this election was some sort of ideological shift in American thinking. America didn't turn Liberal, they wanted "CHANGE" in Iraq! Two more years of the same old rhetoric, and over-blown reactionary spewing, is not change. Two years of liberal federal mandates, tax increases, and regulations, are not the "change" the American people supported on Tuesday. Perhaps we need to make them a sign... It's the Iraq War, Stupid!
