The "D" Stands For Defeat

Apparently, the Cindy Shee-Hags are becoming frustrated with the Democrats. Join the club.

A well-known anti-war leader has gone public with the transcript of a private conference call that shows peace activists are exasperated with the Democratic congressional leadership and at a loss for a long-term strategy.

The Aug. 29 call highlights divisions in the Democratic Party that Republicans are gearing up to try to exploit as Congress debates its response to the report on Iraq this week by Gen. David H. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan Crocker.

The transcript shows that opponents of the war in Iraq plan to try to convince freshman Democrats from conservative districts that they might not get reelected unless the party produces something serious in the way of resistance to the war.

But the call shows the war opponents are having little success because of fears about the impact on next year’s elections if the party is seen as defeatist. (H/T - RT)

What bothers me most about this story is that politicians and pundits on both sides of the aisle are either ripping or celebrating the General Petraeus Iraq report before the report is even presented!

Look, no matter what Petraeus' recommendations are, at least give the man the common courtesy to present his report first. After that, feel free to either praise him or decry him. Until then, Republicans and Democrats alike should keep their pie holes shut.
