ELECTIONS OF 2006 & THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION OF 2008 -- HOW MUCH AMERICA STANDS TO LOSE IF THE DEMOCRATS
WIN CONTROL OF CONGRESS & THE PRESIDENCY & ONCE AGAIN DOMINATE THE U.S. NATIONAL GOVERNMENT
FULL STORY:
In stark but reliable simplicity, Republican successes of the past several
decades can be directly correlated to the contrasts between their philosophy
and agenda and those of the Democrats. In the 1994 election cycle,
differences between the two parties were clearly defined, and Republicans
triumphed. Conversely, whenever distinctions become blurred, Republican
fortunes fall commensurately.
Unfortunately this phenomenon, so crucially important to Republican victory,
is apparently beyond the understanding of GOP “moderates,” who believe that
victory results from an indefinable strategy of fence sitting. As the 2006
elections loom, it is incumbent upon the Republicans to recognize these
realities, especially in light of the shameless efforts by Democratic Party leaders
to present a facade of being in the political Center.
Making matters worse, Republicans in Congress, and
occasionally even the Bush administration, have egregiously fumbled the
Conservative agenda. Thus, they no longer present a clear, Conservative
front on such issues as spending or the growth of entitlements.
On matters of national sovereignty, such as America’s hemorrhaging southern
border and the resulting invasion of illegal aliens, the Republican
perspective is ambiguous at best. And in the historically “red state”
heartland, agricultural producers are frustrated to the breaking point by
federal policy that makes the northern border equally porous to an influx of
four-footed foreign invaders.
Yet, even in the wake of so many Republican foibles, it is valuable to
consider just how much America stands to lose if Democrats once again
dominate the federal government. A cursory overview of their recent antics
yields convincing evidence.
To begin with, the “censure” ploy of Wisconsin Democrat Russ Feingold, were
he to enjoy support for such a move in a Senate controlled by Democrats, could
only further embolden the Islamist enemies of America, who hold fast to
hopes of triumphing in the terror war by simply outlasting America’s will to
fight.
Who can doubt that Feingold’s real motive is to lay the groundwork for
eventual impeachment of President Bush, based not on his foreign policy or
the overblown NSA controversy, but instead on a juvenile Democratic obsession
of getting even with Republicans for the impeachment of Bill Clinton?
Nancy Pelosi, Democratic Party floor leader in the U.S. House of Representatives and no less venomous in her partisanship
than Feingold, nonetheless wishes Feingold would remain quiet about such
things until after the 2006 November elections. But to the Islamists, the message is
unmistakable. A president who effectively confronts terrorism risks public
humiliation, and even possible removal from office for doing so.
Back on the home front, members of the Armed Forces, who have served so
courageously and sacrificially since 9-11, are getting a foretaste of what
they can expect under Democratic Party rule. In a rerun of the Clinton years, some
among their ranks are being used as public relations “props,” in yet another
ruse to blur party distinctions.
According to a memo from U.S. Senate Democratic Party floor leader Harry Reid of Nevada,
aspiring Democratic candidates should make military personnel and hardware
prominent in their rallies during the campaign season, in order to convince
America that its interests will be equally protected under the headship of a
Democratic controlled Congress.
Meanwhile, Democrats on Capitol Hill and in the media are doing their best
to exaggerate any negative news coming out of Iraq. Talk of an imaginary
Iraqi “civil war” has been incessant.
So what is really represented by a party that claims to support the military,
while simultaneously working to drive it to defeat by portraying its enemies
as invincible? In short, Liberals running the Democratic Party hold no regard
for the military, or the country it was instituted to protect, and are
willing to play any game necessary to reacquire and enhance their political
power.
If, driven by their addiction to power and ensuing rage against any who
would encroach on it, they will play these games with murderous terrorists,
what havoc might they be expected to wreak on domestic policy, the U.S.
Constitution, and the rule of law?
A heavy-handed dose of Liberal Leftist government, along with a renewed vigor among
activist Liberal judges, is inevitable. And it is certain that Liberals secretly
salivate at the prospect of repealing President Bush’s tax cuts, if for no
other reason than to destroy his legacy.
Democrats have made it abundantly obvious that they are presently no more
concerned with America’s safety and security, or the advancement of sound
fiscal policy, than they were during the 1990s. Rather, they seek
vengeance, retribution, and, at any cost to the country, political advantage.
