What’s Wrong With Democrats
Friday, March 31st, 2006I read a couple articles this morning that typefy all that’s wrong with the Democratic Party. Here’s a glimpse into the first article:
“To me, this is not really and should not be a partisan question,” Dean told the panel. “I think it’s a question of institutional pride of this body, of the Congress of the United States.” He added in prepared testimony that if Congress doesn’t have the stomach for Feingold’s resolution as drafted, it should pass some measure serving Bush a warning. “The resolution should be amended, not defeated, because the president needs to be reminded that separation of powers does not mean an isolation of powers,” Dean said in prepared remarks.
It’s amazing that Democrats are so desparate to prove Bush broke the law that they’re calling on a convicted felon with a notorious axe to grind against conservatives to verify their beliefs. Mr. Dean’s assertions weren’t based in fact but rather on general platitudes that might be summed up as saying ‘Congress should have a say in this’.
If he tried arguing that to the Supreme Court, he’d be laughed out in 10 minutes. I watched him read his prepared statement this afternoon on C-SPAN2 and found it to be totally uninspiring to the point of being boring and inconsequential.
Here’s something from the second article:
Sen. Joe Lieberman’s strong stand on national security has so rankled some fellow Democrats that they actually booed him at a political dinner on Thursday night. The rude response to his speech came even as he was being endorsed by popular Sen. Barack Obama. Obama, an Illinois Democrat who is considered a rising star in the party, was the keynote speaker at the annual Jefferson Jackson Bailey Dinner in Hartford.
