Just another example of how the Democratic Party has fallen.
Democrats critical of Bush before the war have experienced a radical change of heart, placing them in sync with public opinion. Nancy Pelosi, who accused Bush of exaggerating Iraq’s nuclear capabilities, said, “I salute the president for the goal of removing weapons of mass destruction.” Tom Daschle gave the president “great credit” for winning the war.
I refuse to comprehend how, if the leadership of the party agrees with Bush, why anyone would bother to not re-elect Bush and the Republican leadership. What happened to individual thinking? What happened to the idea of taking a principled stand? I find it disheartening that the most vocal critics of the war were not the politicians, who were waiting to find out which way the wind was blowing, but actors, actresses, and musicians. We need a plurality of opinions in the political arena, but there’s too much fear in the air… No wonder there’s no respect for politicians these days…
