DANGEROUS DASCHLE
LIES, POWER AND PRESIDENT WANNABE

Americans need unemployment checks’ Er, no, Mr. Majority Leader (and shill for Bill and Hill), Americans need jobs. If ever there were a more clear delineation between the welfare socialists in congress and the American people, I have yet to hear it. Or at the very least, add this one to the top of the list.
On Meet The Press, Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle spoke of working together and ending the name calling, stopping the partisanship and halting the blame game. But, of course, we, who watch the Senate and democrats, for that matter, are well acquainted with Senator Daschle, the Janus of politics and immediately, out of the other side of his mouth, the other face he has, Daschle blamed Republicans for obstructionism. So much for the hypocrisy of the Senate. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
When the subject came up of the current state of terrorism and the commonly agreed upon knowledge that, after the first bombing of the World Trade Center in NYC, then president Bill Clinton talked the tough talk but walked the other way. Of course, now that Hillary is the senate leader, in reality, all the democrat leaders must ‘set the record straight’ by continuing the lie that her husband has anything less than an abysmal at best, complicit at worst, record in regards terrorism. Is it any wonder that Osama bin Laden expected the weak will of the United States to greet his horrendous assault on September 11th?
While the votes are there to allow drilling for natural gas and oil in a small part of the Alaskan wilderness, Dashle said otherwise, an outright lie. The only reason he is not bringing this issue up for a vote is the very fact that it will pass. But of course, that might jeopardize the envirowackos financial support for Ms. President-to-Be, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Is it any wonder that Daschle tows the line? So now, Daschle is going to require 60 votes for ‘contentious’ (read here, anything he so deems) measures to pass instead of the 51 votes needed heretofore. Is there any doubt who really runs the democrats in the Senate, with her little black book of blackmail, as we now connect the dots to all those FBI files that were illegally garnered during the reign of the co-presidents?
Is there any doubt that the democrats, who stalled the president’s stimulus package, will continue to keep their eye on the prize of the votes they want to increase their power by allowing the economy to tank? Do they care if we need jobs to feed our families and pay the mortgages and confiscatory taxes? Do they care at all about whether our children our fed, our lives are sound? They, who have the private dining rooms, the best tables in the finest DC restaurants, the private limos and gyms, the junkets to warm and sunny places while we dig out from the cold and snow? They say they care, they have always said they care: about the downtrodden, about the middle class, about the working stiffs and now so much do they care about “the children” they can’t keep from repeating it over and over and over. Who was it that said “if you repeat a lie enough, people think it’s the truth"?
But actions speak louder than words and all this empty talk about bi –partisanship and getting along is nothing but hot air. All they care about is themselves and it sure looks to me like the inmates are running the asylum, and a cushy asylum it is, funded with our money. When was the last time someone who worked for you lived better than you? And it all leads up to the election of more democrats who will raise more taxes and spend us into another fiscal oblivion.
And, ain’t it just amazin’ how the democrats in the Senate all want to go back to the rules of decorum and politesse, now that Clinton is gone (but, unfortunately, thanks to the terrorists of 9/11, not forgotten)? Remember all those recess appointments Clinton made, when the Senate was in recess? Well, now that the Majority Leader Mr. Daschle refuses to bring anything up for appointment votes, President Bush may just have to appoint his nominees during this current break in the Senate’s snail’s pace work. So what does Mr. Daschle have to say about this? : "I would discourage it, but I recognize that's the president's prerogative. That isn't the way it ought to be addressed. The constitutional responsibility of the president and Congress is to work together on these nominees."
Yes, he actually said, “Work together.” I am reminded, here, of when the democrats last were in charge, had the majority when Clinton was first elected and after the photo ops in the hall were done, they went into offices to work and locked the doors so the republicans couldn’t get in, a Clintonian style of “working together” that was also done to the newly elected republican Mike Huckabee in Arkansas when the corrupt democrat Jim Guy Tucker was thrown out of office and his cronies actually ten-penny nailed the Governor’s office door shut. At that time, the GOP was just too mannerly to say anything to the press. But of course, the liberal beltway press would have just spun that story, like they do to so many others, anyway, so why bother?
When Vice President Richard B. Cheney accused Daschle of being an obstructionist, Daschle said he "takes issue with the obstructionist charge, I don't refuse to allow votes. We're going to have votes on a lot of these issues but the Founding Fathers chose to ensure that there would be ample support for controversial measures before they pass. A 60-vote majority is something that should be achieved in these cases."
Too bad good and honest government wasn’t on Daschle’s agenda to have been achieved back when the corrupt Clinton regime was in place. One thing I can say for the democrats in charge, they sure are consistent. What they say is not what they mean, what they do is not good for the people and what they want is more and more power. Period. Just as Ms. Hillary says she isn’t going to run for president, we know she is and the democrats are forced to fall into line to achieve her goal. And with the smooth talking, calm-demeanored Mr. Daschle, all I can say is: Fasten your seat belts, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride. |
