US - The self exploding Democrats

This is just too rich. It's like having the most delicious desert you've ever had in your life.

The Democrats keep moaning that they never had a chance to vote on whether to keep US troops in Iraq or pull them out. The Republicans gave them not one, but two votes. The Democrats voted overwhelmingly to keep troops in Iraq.

Now, Sen. Russell Feingold (D-Wis.), introduces a bill to censure Bush. Guess what? Every other Democrat is running from Feingold "as if escaping a fire".

Those are the words of Dana Milbank, a left wing hack, writing in the Washington Post, a left wing rag. Which is why this is such a sweet desert.

Listen to Milbank describe the Democrats.

Democratic senators, filing in for their weekly caucus lunch yesterday, looked as if they'd seen a ghost.

"I haven't read it," demurred Barack Obama (Ill.).

"I just don't have enough information," protested Ben Nelson (Neb.). "I really can't right now," John Kerry (Mass.) said as he hurried past a knot of reporters -- an excuse that fell apart when Kerry was forced into an awkward wait as Capitol Police stopped an aide at the magnetometer.

Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.) brushed past the press pack, shaking her head and waving her hand over her shoulder. When an errant food cart blocked her entrance to the meeting room, she tried to hide from reporters behind the 4-foot-11 Barbara Mikulski (Md.).

"Ask her after lunch," offered Clinton's spokesman, Philippe Reines. But Clinton, with most of her colleagues, fled the lunch out a back door as if escaping a fire.

Even the Democratic mouthpiece, The New York Times, jumped on the bandwagon calling them the retreating Democrats.

Sounds just right.

Calling for a vote on troop withdrawal, calling for censure and holding mock trials - all political stunts. Which pretty much sums up the Democratic party - a political stunt.

Wait, wait! It gets even more delicious.

The communist led moonbat anti-war movement is disintegrating. See here and here.

Let's recap the Left's last few years shall we?

Bush, Howard and Blair (Blair is Labour but pro-war) are re-elected. Bush's party wins more seats in both houses of Congress along with more Governorships. Howard's party wins both houses of Parliament for the first time in yonks. Canada throws out the liberals. Back in the US the Democrats fall on their swords almost daily and the anti-war movement is disintegrating.

More please.
