Dear Democratic Leadership In Congress

8:14 pm EST July 23rd, 2007 | Uncategorized | 5 Comments

Could you guys please crack open a newspaper? You guys might learn something.

Most Americans see President Bush as intransigent on Iraq and prefer that the Democratic-controlled Congress make decisions over a possible withdrawal of U.S. forces, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

As the president and Congress move toward a possible constitutional confrontation over the war, both receive negative marks from the public for their handling of the situation in Iraq. But by a large margin, Americans trust the Democrats rather than the president to find a solution to a conflict that remains enormously unpopular. And more than six in 10 in the new poll said Congress should have the final say on when to bring the troops home.

The right is (stupidly, as usual) operating on the premise that congress’ low ratings come from it’s actions on the war. They’re partially right. It is about the Iraq war, but it is because you guys are not doing what needs to be done to stop the war. Americans realize that the president has his head up his rear along with his polyps, and they trust you to end the war.

End it.

    In form, I think Clinton was a clear winner, followed by Edwards and then Obama. In form, I’d give it to the unwinnables: Gravel and Kucinich. I thought the format was terrible and contributed to the dumbing down of discourse in America.

    How do YOU feel about the debate tonight? Who do YOU think won the debate? Vote for your candidate on http://www.youpolls.com/details.asp?pid=217

    Make your voice heard. You can vote on polls on the topic of importance to you, and if it’s not there, you can sign up and create a poll in less than a minute (literally).

    It’s new, it’s easy and it’s cool…and above all, it’s good for the public debate.

    I think any candidate like Biden and Hillary who claimed it’ll take a year to get out of Iraq (Biden) or a month to redeploy each brigade (Hillary) did serious damage to him or herself. We now have what, 15, 20 brigades in Iraq? It took us 3-1/2 weeks to fight our way to Baghdad and it’s going to take a year or two to do what most Iraqis want us to do and get out? That’s just stupid, overly cautious, inside the beltway, serious person blather. Occupying Iraq isn’t the solution, it’s the problem.
