Yanked this from Lindy's thread and since it says what I'm thinking much better then I could myself I thought I would bring it over here. All Bark, No Bite Written by The Big Stink Tuesday, 10 April 2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our friends at Allahpundit have inspired this post. Chuck Schumer, Democratic US Senator from New York and Carl Levin of Michigan held a press conference at which Schumer made a stunning confession. Schumer said “we are not going to leave the troops high and dry, plain and simple.” Excuse me? Senator Schumer? – can you repeat that? You’re saying that there is no way the Democrats would pull the rug out from our troops in Iraq? This is mind-boggling. After all the demonstrating, posturing, politicking and petty sniping - your party won’t vote to pull the financial plug? If you are not going to de-fund the troops, if you are not willing to actually take a vote and make the vote binding, then why are you wasting oxygen which could better be spent supporting a more viable form of life? What have you been doing in Washington? What is your reason for existing? Why are you embarrassing the voters with your meaningless rhetoric? Am I missing something or isn’t his pronouncement a strategic admission of their willing conspiracy to endanger our military and our national mission? Isn't this an admission that they are willing to torpedo our military for the sake of what? - themselves and their political ambitions? Please, somebody tell me the Democratic Party stands for something – anything! Please! Tell me that bitching and moaning is not their demeanor and not their party platform! If I were a committed Leftie, I would be picketing Schumer’s office, demanding his resignation and excoriating him publicly for being all bark and no bite. Schumer (and he’s not alone) is the worst of all possible creations – a career politician whose conscience is 40,000 miles wide and a quarter inch deep.
