Well, don't get too moist about the alleged "backbone" the Democrats have found lately. This is ridiculous. Democratic Congressman John Murtha is calling for immediate withdrawl of troops from Iraq. While I'm not a fan of polls, numbers are showing that well over 50% of Americans want us out - it may be over 60% by now. And yet...

Although Murtha joins a growing list of pro-war Democrats that have reversed their positions, Democratic Congressional leaders distanced themselves from Murtha’s stance. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi said: "Mr. Murtha speaks for himself," while Senate Minority Harry Reid added: "I don't support immediate withdrawal." From Democracy Now

Pathetic.

Another thought that's been going through my mind lately is, when we finally get rid of the War Criminal...when the pendulum swings the other way and we have a Democratic President in 2008...which is probably going to happen. WC & company have fucked up too much. So when this turnaround comes...what are the new lefty pundits going to do? What is Air America, et al going to be like? I mean, they've really gotten back on the Bill Clinton is God kick lately...if that's their high standard we're all doomed to mediocrity.

Good Book Alert: Go get yourself Cornell West's Democracy Matters. You'll be glad you did.
