- The CYA begins:

- Wesley Clarke didn’t waste any time preparing the “shift the blame to BushCo” agenda when he responded to the Question:

“Now that the Democrats are in control of the House and the Senate, what will is the Democrats new plan for Iraq?”

His answer:

“We’re going to ask the administration to come up with another plan.”

Surprise, surprise. The unveiling of the Dem “plan”.

Democrats Already Preparing To Coddle Terrorists

We said this was what was going to happen, and lo and behold, here ya’ go:

A battle is shaping up between Democrats and the White House over the Military Commissions Act, signed into law last month by President George W. Bush.

Can anyone say “YOU REEP WHAT YOU SOW”.

We will get nothing but gridlock and investigations, they love to investigate cuz they don’t know how to govern and nancy is backing murtha as leader, so here we go. The early news is full of the story of the lawsuit filed in germany against Rumsfield and others and the moonbats are gonna celebrate that news with a champagne brunch in chambers.

This is the problem that the American voting public overlooked last Tuesday: When you vote for gridlock, you get gridlock. Beyond hearings run by partisan Democrats designed to bolster the case for impeachment, we can expect little or nothing for the next two years out of Congress (I hope and pray that Bush’s insane amnesty program for illegals get scuttled – Democratic greed for power may serve the nation, after all). Iran, North Korea and al Qaeda are about to get a two-year reprieve.

And there will be at least a try for impeachment. It’s either impeachment or watch the Nutroots shut off the hate cash Democrats have become addicted to.

Fortunately, last Tuesday’s elections reduced the ranks of Senate RINOs by two (three if you count Jeffords, who gladly took GOP money and then urinated on his former party). I seriously doubt that Democrats can count on Lieberman, but I could be wrong. By my count, there are only 7 true blue (pun semi-intended) hardcore RINOs left in the Senate: Collins, Snowe, McCain, Graham, Voinovich, Hagel, and Specter. Even allowing for no defections in their own ranks and the normal RINO cowardice, Democrats will fall well short of the two-thirds they need.

Here is what I will be watching for in the opening weeks of the next session of Congress. If Democrats start investigating Bush right off the bat, I believe that it means they lack the votes to impeach, and are simply trying to bloody him up for the 2008 election (and put on a good show for the Nutroots).

But if Democrats concentrate all their fire on Cheney, I think it means that they intend to remove Cheney first (putting Pelosi one heartbeat away from the Presidency) and then go after Bush using “guilt by association”.

Aside from the incredible difficulty it poses, the latter strategy is also very high risk for Democrats, since it involves a “double impeachment” of Cheney first and then Bush. If nothing else, it will take a lot of time, and will probably remind people that Democrats still have no strategy for Iraq and terrorism. I don’t think voters will be amused in the least – nor will Hilly the Hun, who wants to be the first woman President rather than Pelosi. But it’s not voters Democrats have to please next year (that can wait until 2008), and Democrats have serious anger management issues. In other words, it could happen.

Welcome to Gridlock Nation!

Meantime, how do the hearings and trials if they occur weaken the President and the United States?

My biggest concern is that this will take priority in Washington, rather than where the priority should be: War on terror; N. Korea’s nukes, Iran trying to obtain nukes, etc.

Rob: You may be right, but we have a few RINO’s that will run up the score! Meantime, how do the hearings and trials if they occur weaken the President and the United States?

In order for the president to be removed it takes a two thirds majority of the Senate. The Dems have 50, add the two “Independents” they have 52, that leaves them needing 15 Republicans to vote for removal.
In other words, it ain’t happinin’ (barring some really bombshell occurance).

But they also expressed concerns that Democrats might seek to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq too quickly or hamper the administration’s efforts to combat terrorism, it said.

And they just thought of this NOW!!!!!!!!!

I have no use for Malkin or Allah; but the hostess of this blog is absolutey right, the American voters should have thought about all of this before they voted Democratic.

In California San Francisco and Berkeley (Biszerkely) the people voted for the Congress to impeach Bush and Cheney. Does she want to tick off her constituents? Also, if they move fast enough and get rid of Bush and Cheney, Pelosi becomes President. Maybe before 2008? I wonder considering Hillary’s and Kerrey’s Presidential ambitiosn they would vote against impeachment lest Nancy becomes President and wins nomination of her party by acclamation?
