New War, Old Battle

In 1972 George McGovern lost the Presidential Election in a major defeat to Richard Nixon, the policies he followed then are in the view Vice - President Cheney the new policies of the Democratic Party. McGovern is annoyed hence a article that shows how out of touch the Democratic Party is, McGovern was a War Hero no doubt, but he was a bad politician. The Republicans should keep quite and let the Democrats became the New McGovern's. If the Democrats follow the same road and they are quick walking that road at the moment over Iraq, then in the 08 Presidential Election the Republicans will defeat them as they did in 1968, 1972, 1980, 1984, 1988, 2000 and finally in 2004. The Democrats only won in 1976 because of Watergate and that was a very close election, in 1992 because the economy was bad and Bush 41 had broken his word on taxes. In 1996 Clinton has moved to the centre adopted Republican policies and the economy was good.

The Democrats might not have noticed but the American Economy is going great, due to the Bush Tax Cuts which helped after 9/11. The American Homeland has not been attacked since 9/11, terrorists are in Iraq fighting not in the USA. The policy of defeat of the Democrats and their almost love of new taxes and their miss reading of the 06 election results are major problems for the Democrats to overcome to win in 08, the American public want to win, the USA can not just walk away, if the USA did leave Iraq, the Terrorists will then move to attack the West from the safety of Iraq. Think this, what If, Democrats are successful and remove troops, elect a Democrats President and start to raise tax then a major attack comes from terrorists in Iraq, what will a Democratic President do, go back in after winning a election of getting the troops out, if a major attack the economy falls due to increase in oil prices, higher tax low returns, welcome to the 1970s and the world of Jimmy Carter, bad economy and the security of the United States under threat, Jimmy Carter at least had the USSR in Afghanistan, what if the threat is on American Streets. The left and their Hollywood Friends will be secure it is the people that will suffer. The first decade of the 21st Century will makes us all love those Cold War Days, the West is under threat the left can not be allowed to win in the end, they are the modern equals of those that supported Munich and Appeasement, the costs are that high. If you think if the Strategy during WW1 or WW2 during the bad days had the same critical reaction then the Kaiser would still be on his throne or Europe would be under the Hitler. The fight is that stark, McGovern was wrong in 1972 he is wrong in 2007.
