Push, push of the Bush

Call it a conspiracy if you want, but I think I see a plan in action. The senate and house democrats have their play book in hand, and they're executing their plan right now. And it doesn't include anything that might actually benefit the "American People".
It seems like the democrats will do anything that they have to, to lose this war. I couldn't understand their reasoning before, but I think I get it now.
Stop Bush! Only I don't think they're talking about George, I think it's Jeb they're worried about. He was pretty popular a couple of years ago, and it must've really put a scare into alot of democrats.I've never seen our hard working, elected officials in such a frenzy. Every Sunday on the talk shows, there is a parade of democrats Bushing this and Bushing that. I'm always amazed at how they can find so many complainers and hardly anyone who agrees.
It's a simple plan. Stop everything that the President is trying to do to protect the "American People" from Islamic crazies. They managed to stop the SWIFT program (following the money trail), put a stop on electronic intercepts,rendition, interrogations, and are still trying to get rid of Gitmo. Then all you have to do is, "Just say it didn't work". George Bush and the republicans lost the war. They didn't know what to do. Drag George Bush's name through the mud and make the Bush name one to fear. George Bush is stupid, he can't speak, he's incompetent, a war-monger, an abuser of the constitution, and on and on and hope that it rubs off on the Jebster. Jeb is more articulate than his brother, so that will present a problem for them. That's why they are getting started now.
Their plan seems to be working though. Even some republicans are starting to jump ship. It seems like people have a hard time believing that there's someone out there wanting and waiting to kill us.
The constant drumbeat for negotiations, but with who? People who will tell us anything we want to hear, just to get what they want? Bill Clinton sent Madeline over to negotiate with North Korea, and wow did they make a great deal for the U.S. We gave them food aid (probably went to the army), and oil and lots of other goodies. What did Kim do with all the money we saved them? He made extra money counterfeiting and developed a nuclear bomb, or so they say. He also worked and starved his people to death. All I can say is, thank you for sending Madeline over there. She did such a great job for the world and mankind. The whole world is much better off today, because of their foresight. Then there's Bosnia. 15 years ago, Bill Clinton told us American troops would only be there for 1 year. Out of the 20,000 NATO forces still there, 3/4's of them are US soldiers (18,000). Plus, we provide everything.
Then there's the "Bring the troops Home, because we're the problem" crowd. When the troops in Okinawa were a problem a couple of years ago because of a rape accusation, I don't recall anyone calling for the troops to come home. They don't like us there. We're the problem there. We've had 40,000 troops occupying their land for 60 years now. 80,000 occupying German soil to protect Europe from something. There's plenty of trouble there too. Bombings and everything. That doesn't sound like we're loved there to me. 37,000 troops occupying South Korea. It seems like every week there are riots and protests about our troops being there. They say we're the problem and don't want us there. Nobody here in the hallowed halls of congress seems to hear that though.
I sure hope that the next president is a democrat. I wouldn't be surprised to see alot of hand-wring and squirming when the next president says his hands are tied and there's nothing he can do. Alot of finger pointing as they try to undo what they did to Bush. Either that, or we'll be hearing Bush did this and Bush did that for the next 20 years. Hillary is already complaining about the next president having to deal with the situation.
Later.
