Ronad Reagan, The Gipper

An interesting article in The Weekly Standard on the Cover of Time, Reagan is on the Cover. As the article points out when Reagan was in office and VIEWS dreams of those days, the Elite Media could not stand him, not that it mattered much Reagan, was Reagan, the Great Communicator, a Kennedy or a Reagan are above what mere politicians like Nixon, or even Clinton could cope with during their time in office. After Iran - Contra broke VIEWS recalls the BBC going to town on it, the old man was finished was the sermon, it was merely the start of the Great Reagan Period, end of the Cold War, fall of the Berlin Wall, Bush 41 was taking 6 months to review his policy on the USSR. The USSR out of Afghanistan. Thus we come to fall of the USSR in 1991. Also it should be pointed out, George Bush, Bush 41 was elected in 88, Reagan's third term it was called, Gore could not run fast enough away from Bill Clinton, and thus we have Bush 43 in the White House. The article covers the many arrows thrown at Reagan but to shows in the end they had been duds all along, Reagan was great, Bush 43 still has time to show he was great.

Democrats Self Help to Lose

The Democrats showed why they lose elections today, why they are never fit to win Presidential Elections, the passage in the House of a Bill to get troops out of Iraq; 218 -212; by next year, shows why the Republicans will win next year. This vote will and should be pushed down the throat of the Democratic Nominee, this is an act of political cowardice, not seen since the end of the Vietnam War.

The Democrats and the Haze of 2008

The Democrats are in charge and it shows, thus we come to the debate about the firing of US Attorneys, the right the President has under the US Constitution and the pattern followed by most Presidents, Clinton fired all of them in 93. This is all about 2008 elections and the Liberal left wing not lot about government.

The Policy of Defeat

The Democrats must have a political death wish, they seem to have no back bone and they are following a policy they cant win; getting out of Iraq and letting the enemy win; it says something when you sell your soul to gain a 50pence in silver. Iraq might finish off Bush 43, but the Democrats should recall a President who who was low in the polls and had a bad war, Harry Truman mates and he is considered a great President.

Iraq

It seems Iraq is going to cause problems for the Democrats, today in the Senate a Bill to remove troops by 2008 was defeated by 50 - 48. Two Democrats and Lieberman voted against. As you would expect the NYT tried to mitigate the vote with the following, ' The vote was 50 to 48 against the resolution, but since the senators had agreed that 60 votes would be required for passage the measure fell far short. ' As Lieberman has hinted that he would leave the Democrats should they try and cut funding for the war, in many respects the vote today should please those on the Senate side, they would not want to give up their new offices and power. On the other hand the House will cause them problems, the House is full of Hot Heads on the left who want out of Iraq yesterday. They will push and push and the Senate will have constant problems. Also the President has a Veto power and since Democrats cant get 60 votes to close debate without the Republicans agreement the Senate is like a hung Parliament, waiting for the 2008 Election.

Democratic Hangover!

That is the problem when you WIN elections but don't win the whole lot, the House wants out but the Senate cant even get a mild resolution passed on Iraq. Then we have 08 election coming up, the House might be very Liberal, but New York and California and not the whole of the United States, the greatest threat to a Democratic win of the White House in 08 might just be their own Party in the House and Senate. That's the fun about politics, your friends might hurt you more than your enemy, and if your the candidate, either Clinton or Obama you cant tell them to shut up as you need their money for the very and I mean very long campaign after the Candidate is chosen in early 08.
