The Seams Are Showing
So far —and with the excuse that they are not in power— the Democratic Party has managed to avoid any moral or intellectual responsibility for the issue of illegal immigration. They have —with the help of their enablers in Big Media— put it all off on the Republicans. But on the issue of the War for Iraq? The fur is flying, baby:
WASHINGTON - Anti-war activists at a liberal gathering booed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton on Tuesday for opposing a set date for pulling U.S. troops from Iraq. Facing down the jeers, Clinton said Democrats need to have “a difficult conversation” about the war.
Another potential presidential candidate, Sen. John Kerry, spoke to the group later in the day and offered an emphatically anti-war appeal.
“Sometimes this is a difficult conversation, in part because this administration has made our world more dangerous than it should be,” Clinton, D-N.Y.
Kerry, who was widely criticized as the party’s standard-bearer in 2004 for being too cautious in his criticism of the war, said Tuesday that politicians “cannot have it both ways.”
In remarks that could have been aimed at Clinton, Kerry said: “It’s not enough to argue with the logistics or to argue about the details. … It is essential to acknowledge that the war itself was a mistake. … It was wrong, and I was wrong to vote for that Iraqi war resolution.”
Ha, ha! Nancy Pelosi’s plan to not make the members of the Democratic caucus toe any party line (i.e., have the balls to own a discernible position) is a crock. As we see.
The moonbats would really like to see Gene McCarthy finally beat Humphrey.
Let’s hope they get their wish.
