The Democrats and Power and how not to use Power

Washington Post: Interesting article by E.J. Dionne how the Democrats are in office but its seems without the power. As Dionne states on the Democrats, "They are condemned for selling out to President Bush, and for failing to make compromises aimed at getting things done. " The problem is simple, the base is Liberal but the new majority that the Democrats have in the House are from Conservative districts, they cant end the war and win but the base wants to end the war at any cost.

Democrats and the War

The Politico: Interesting article on the Democrats and the Iraq War. In 2006 the Democrats won Congress based on a War that was not going well, and the idea that they could change policy without the need to go through President George W. Bush. The Democrats have found they cant stop the War, they have to may Conservative Democrats elected in November of 2006 and President Bush has the power to Veto any Bills on the the war that they can produce. The Politico writes the following, " Indeed, the only war legislation passed during this Congress has been to give the president exactly what he wants, and exactly what he has had for the past five years: more money, with no limitations. " The one major change since November 2006 is Iraq, the surge is working, the Democrats have dug themselves a major hole, they need things to go in wrong in Iraq to win. Not good politics at all for the long term. Iraq and 2008 Election just might be a positive for the Republicans.
