Residual Forces

Well, the Democrats are already falling all over themselves trying to shut themselves up. Their base will tolerate nothing short of immediate retreat and defeat in Iraq, but the Democratic leaders know that in order to ever win an election again, they must redefine defeat to something more palpable.

Pelosi is working feverishly to scrounge together enough Democratic votes to pass a war-spending measure that would force the withdrawal of combat troops from Iraq by 2008.

But the pacifist heart of the Defeatocrats think 2008 is too long to wait before Congress mandates that America lose the war on terror.

“There’s a significant number of people who are steadfast in not continuing this war, who absolutely don’t want to fund the surge and who want to give a voice to the people who voted on Nov. 7 and asked us to end this once and for all,” said Rep. Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., a leader of the Progressive Caucus.

Americans didn’t and would never vote for surrender.

Remember the 2004 election? John Kerry had to pay all of his attention to saying he and the Democrats weren’t just anti-war pacifists who couldn’t be trusted with defending the nation. Both he and the Democrats were resoundingly rejected that time, because nobody believed him. His pacifist anti-war past had finally caught up to him.

So Democrats spent the next 2 years entrenched in an all out rhetorical war against the war trying to drive a wedge between the mission and the public’s will to keep fighting it . They tried and tested the right combination of poll tested words and phrases, and landed on “change”.

Change the course was the message they ran on, not immediate surrender. They denied they were the cut and run Democrats, and defeatocrats everytime it was mentioned. They’d even go so far as to say that Republicans were questioning their patriotism. Well it turns out it was and is true.

With in mere moments of gaining power, Pelosi’s most pacifist members were now waving the white flag high and hard. Murtha and the pacifist caucus began their demands for immediate and unconditional surrender. But Pelosi knew, that no matter how many times Democrats or their partners in defeat the MSM said voters clearly chose to get us out of Iraq, they’d soon have to face those same voters again. Saying we’ve lost, over and over, doesn’t make it true. Pelosi knows that she can’t let her party be labeled as the party of pacifism if it is ever to ascend to the Presidency again.

Pelosi doesn’t want her reign in the House to be short lived. She knows America won ‘t tolerate immediate and unconditional surrender. She knows that the lower than low voter turnout in 2006 doesn’t grant one mandate status. She knows that less than 100,000 votes made the difference in making her SOTH, and that is all that it would take to lose what they had worked so hard to gain in 2008. The 2006 election was closer than anyone is willing to talk about.

So Democrats have a real choice ahead of them. Act like themselves or try to avoid fitting the stereotypes they worked so hard to break.

In the end what is the saddest thing is that the media doesn’t give a crap. Democrats are racing towards surrender to al Qaida. As many have asked, if no one reports it, does it happen? I’m talking about the successes in Iraq and threats to freedom should we fail, of course. They aren’t giving people an honest glimpse at the perils of surrendering in Iraq, and they are churching up the defeat that Democrats are trying to bring to America.

But America will reject it, if they know what they are be politorialed as supporting, I’m talking about surrender to terror. Democrats want to do exactly that. Try to spin it. Try to slap some other name on it, but in the end, we will be running away from the fight against terror. And if the Democrats are successful, America’s enemy will be emboldened, and rogue nations round the world will no longer take any diplomatic action from us for granted. Because they will know, that as long as Democrats have power, the use of force is off the table.

Do you really think Iran and Syria will bow to diplomatic pressure when they know that is the worst they will face?

(FTR: I am also talking to the pansy ass white flag Republicans, but they are simply lapdogs to Pelosi and the Democrats. )
