Democrats’ Meltdown
Bill Frist, Senate Majority Leader, said of the Democrats move to have a closed door session that they “hijacked” the chamber. I couldn’t agree more. Democrats claim that the demand for a closed door session (which has rarely been used) was prompted by “misinformation and disinformation” given by President Bush and his administration prior to entry into the war in Iraq and also a failure of Republicans to look into it. What’s odd is the timing of all of this. Why today? Why not last year? Why not last month?
What the Democrats did today was reprehensible and will likely cause them to lose even more of their already fragile grip on power. The Democrats led this country down the wrong path for more than 40 years and now they are having a total meltdown because they are losing their power. They know that Samuel Alito WILL be confirmed as the next associate justice of the Supreme Court. They know that the economy is doing great - thanks to president Bush and the Republicans work on tax cuts. They see that the map of the United States is covered with red. The Republicans now hold a majority of State Legislatures, Governors, as well as both houses of Congress, and the Executive Branch.
Now is not the time to back down on our principles. Now is the time to fight for the things we believe in. The Democrats only have one message: “Destroy president Bush and his entire administration.” On the other hand the Republicans have a message that truly is compassionate. We believe in a strong economy by giving everyone a tax cut. More lower income people benefited from the recent tax cuts. We believe in a strong national defense. We believe in giving people jobs based on their skills and not some criteria such as their race or gender. We believe that the borders must be protected at all costs. We believe that the individual is responsible for their own actions and should be held accountable for them. I hold that principle as a high standard regardless of party. We believe that Americans should be free to send their kids to the school of their choice. We believe that we should maintain the right to “keep and bear arms.” We believe that America is the greatest country on the face of the earth and that we have been given a special place in human history by God. Our country was founded on the principles of a majority of people who believed that “We are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” I agree.
