A Spine? What's That?!

Don’t look now, but the ‘Democrat’ party is letting us all down again. Apparently they are so used to being on the losing side of legislative battles, or simply too spineless to stand up to a considerably weakened and unpopular President, Democrats are crying ‘Uncle’ as soon as it becomes increasingly evident that despite their [BS] claims to do so – Bush and co. (as usual) will not compromise even a lick. I can appreciate how difficult it is to negotiate with someone possessing the mentality and capacity of a toddler, but good parents do not cave in to unreasonable demands regardless of how cruel they may be seen in the eyes of others: “No, we can not go to McDonalds! Now finish your peas like a good boy, Georgie!” I understand the Democrats’ desire to avoid a congressional stalemate a la the Gingrich-led GOP majority in the ‘90s, but these jerks not only have the will of the people on their side, they have history as well (despite Bush’s claims to the contrary)!

Our only hope now is that perhaps instead of setting withdrawal dates for American armed forces, Democrats will decide to try and set a withdrawal date for the President and Vice of the United States.

Also, a quick passage from Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail ’72 regarding the ‘new’ caveats of presidential campaigning:

“The whole framework of the presidency is getting out of hand. It’s come to the point where you almost can’t run unless you can cause people to salivate and whip on each other with big sticks. You almost have to be a rock star to get the kind of fever you need to survive in American politics.” ~Dr. Hunter S. Thompson, 469 (12/1972)
