Sen. Joe Lieberman on Thursday painted a dim picture of his party, saying Democrats have given up their moral authority on foreign policy because they are more concerned with opposing Republicans than doing what is right.And, Senator Joe Biden said in an interview that Democrats have lost faith in the American people.
Don Surber thinks Biden is on to something.
I was impressed with Pres. Sarkozy's speech the other day. I was also surprised and pleased by his frequent use of the word love in that speech. Now, we have Joe Lieberman providing a concise and blunt compare-and-contrast for us between the democrat party and the French. The democrat party loses. I used to use three words to describe my view of the French...collaborators, capitulators, corruptors. Although my personal jury is still out re the French, those three words seem to fit perfectly with the consistently anti-American behavior of the democrat party. Their shameless pursuit of surrender to, and appeasement of, those who would destroy all of us is inexplicable in its irrationality. To then compound their mindlessness by starting an impeachment only serves to complete their transition to a caricature of their own self-image. Apparently, they consider an 11% approval rating to be too high.

ReplyDeletewhat Biden is saying is true, what's sad about it is the fact that he's saying it a day late & a dollar short for personal gain in an election year, not to mention the convoluted hypocrisy of it all.. duh!!
whereas Lieberman hasn't pulled any punches from the get go.. as a matter of fact, even after the Dems nominated him to run for VP in 2000 (also had my vote at the time, but i digress).. he too has more or less been on the receiving end of Dems sick disdain ever since.. :(
bottom line imho: it's not that the Dems have lost faith in the American people.. it is "we the people" who have lost faith in the Dems.. fact is, they could give a bats guano about what "we the people" think as long as they believe they have some high & mighty imaginary powers within their utopian lock box, sad really..

Most telling is that the strongest rejection of congress is not from the right.
ReplyDeleteThe extreme nutroots left is their strongest critic by far.
The seem to think that they are such a powerful movement for the true future of the dem party, but they don't realize just how small of a piece that they are in the whole scheme of things. Add their numbers together and you come up with the population of some small podunk town 40 miles from nowhere.
They have been reading their own press clippings to long.
I think you folks realize (from reading your comments here) the anger some Dems feel is quite a bit more convuluted and charged than Liberman (due to the fact that Liberman is a gentleman) described...
ReplyDeleteNote the following from the Politico: The angry voter: Bad news for Dems...
Let me throw in the first two paragraphs: Congressional Democrats certainly know the power of a throw-the-bums-out message. It vaulted them to power a year ago this week. Little wonder anxiety is boiling over inside the new majority as lawmakers ponder a succession of polls and reach an inescapable conclusion: Lots of people think they are bums, too.
The anti-Washington mood in the country — aimed at both a Republican president and a Democrat-controlled Congress — has reached breathtaking levels. One has to reach back almost 30 years, to the low points of Jimmy Carter’s presidency, to find a time when there was such simultaneous disdain for both the executive and the legislative branches, as measured by Gallup approval ratings.
juandos,
ReplyDeleteI think you have to look at numbers and trends:
Congress approval rating: 11% and falling.
Presidents approval rating mid twenties and rising.
Good point M.Simon...
ReplyDeleteRasmussen Reports:
Bush Job Approval at 38%
Congressional Approval: 13% Good or Excellent
