An Experiment in Scotch

The Demo­c­ra­tic Party and Moveon.org have sunk to new lows in their race to the bottom.  The New York Times fol­lows closely behind.  Our polit­i­cal process has become extreme and inca­pable of involv­ing gray areas of discussion.  Both par­ties are at fault here.  But the Democ­rats and their hard left anti-war, pro-defeat base are clearly lead­ing the charge.

To slan­der a 4 star gen­eral fresh from the con­flict in Iraq as a liar and a betrayer is disgusting.  The Moveon ad fea­tures no proof, no links, no sup­port­ing evi­dence for its dis­gust­ing asser­tion of “facts”.  How­ever, mul­ti­ple reports from peo­ple in Iraq show that the surge truly is work­ing and no amount of crap from the far left can change that.  And the Amer­i­can peo­ple, show­ing yet again that they are smarter than the lib­eral elites would ever give them credit for, are get­ting it.

The Democ­rats have painted them­selves into a cor­ner where defeat is the only way to con­tinue winning.  It’s a dis­gust­ing posi­tion to find your­self in but when you actively par­tic­i­pated in the events that got you there, sym­pa­thy is hard to find.  I pre­dicted that the Dems would sweep into power in 06 only to screw them­selves so badly with for­eign pol­icy bum­bles and be swept right back out in 08.  I think that’s still a pretty safe bet given the acts of the past few days.
