Ever wonder how nuts the fever swamp is? According to The Hill, they're crazy like a fox:
(HT: K-Lo at NRO's Corner)
Anti-war group CODEPINK is planning to take over House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office at 4:00 pm, the group said.
Protesters plan to play “Pin the war on the Donkey” to show their frustration with the Democratic leadership’s inaction of ending the war in Iraq.
CODEPINK is expecting arrests.
OK, the nutters are crazy. It's not bad enough that they decided to camp outside of Pelosi's home in San Francisco, but now they want to seize her office, too? Can anyone in their right mind tell us why the Democrats try to pander to these people? And to counter CODEPINK's allegation that the Democrats have acted on the war, what do they call the dozen or so resolutions proposed by both House and Senate Democrats that keep getting shot down.
NEWSFLASH for CODEPINK: This isn't a dictatorship you morons. There are TWO parties in Congress, and if one can stop the resolutions from coming up, all the better. If CODEPINK wants to live in a dictatorship where one group has absolute control, may we suggest a move to Iran or North Korea, perhaps? We'd even be willing to chip in for the one-way ticket.
The fever swamp has got to get it through it's thick skull that it doesn't control the party. The Democrats have leaders (supposedly) that set the agenda. And for some in the party, namely the Blue Dog Democrats, that agenda is hazardous to their political careers. Why? Because they know the truth, which is that the majority of America still believes in the troops and their mission. The polls blown out of proportion or deceitfully displayed by the media are BS. If over half of the nation were truly up in arms, as the media continues to p*mp, then where were they in DC over St. Patty's Day weekend when the Gathering of Eagles took place? There were what, maybe 1000 antiwar crackpots there?
The leaders of the Democrat party -- Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, etc. -- should be forced to explain to their base why they give these poor slobs the time of day. They represent a tiny proportion of the Democrat base, and yet the leaders give these people more credence than the mom-and-pop Democrats concerned about important hings, like national security and fiscal responsibility. (Speaking of fiscal responsibility, maybe they'd like to explain why they're virtually bribing House members to jump on board the newest defeatist legislation that is destined to fail when the president vetoes the damn thing.)
Let them try to seize her office. I'd pay money to see the look on her face when they do. Maybe, just maybe, it'l sink into that empty head of hers that these aren't the people her party should be pandering to.
