Op-ed: Throwing the Dems overboard? Hell no

Alright I'm pissed too that the Democrats gave in and passed a war bill without time lines, but if anyone is thinking let's throw the Democrats overboard are crazy, now if you want to go back to the good ole days of corrupt Republican majority be my guest but you can no longer complain about what's going on because you're be partially responsible if the Republicans some how get the majority back in 2008. Now since the Democrats been in charge members of the Bush White House have to finally explain their actions to the congress two years ago that would have been a sick joke notion of congress making Bush White House officials to testify about their actions. The Republicans would swept the attorney story under the rug and any other scandal that had the potential to sink the Bush White House would be only talked about on liberal blogs. We on the left has to understand the political reality, we don't have a veto proof majority and you people should know the media hasn't been in the business of informing or educating the American public about two decades so whores like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and the rest will spend weeks and weeks telling the American public see the Dems hate the troops they're leaving our troops to fend for themselves, now you might said well Johnny C the vast majority of Americans don't support the war what's the fear? Then I will say dude where have you been? The right wing media knows this but they will spin it as this our troops are stuck in the middle of the desert and thanks to the Democrats they will have to deal with no extra armor, no extra bullets, no protective cars it's about the Dems leaving the soldiers in a war zone with nothing not getting them out of the meat grinder they will pound that message into the American public from now to 08. And since this is the same American public that gave us two terms of George W. Bush and12 years of the most corrupt congress ever in history it wouldn't shock me if the right wing narrative sunk in with them. Now if you're going to focus your rage at anyone it's the Republicans in the senate, remember the Dems have 51 to 49 lead over the Republicans and that number been reduced due to Tim Johnson is still recovering and Joe LIEberman will side with the Bush White House regarding the war. My belief is the vast majority of the Democrats want this farce of a war to end but in reality the Republicans in the senate for whatever reason (cough blackmail) have decided to stick it out with Junior Bush failed Iraq policy. The real problem for the Democratic party isn't lack of courage because anyone who sitting in a radio station, tv studio or writing on a blog can say yeah if I was in Washington I give that monkey face half wit hell the reality is thanks to the barrage of non stop right wing media along with the corporate media the average American knows more about who's Paris Hilton is sleeping with then you need 2/3 to overturn a president veto which the Democrats do not have. So instead of voting green, help vote more Republicans out.
