Herding moonbats

From The Washington Post:

Democratic leaders set to take control of Congress tomorrow are facing mounting pressure from liberal activists to chart a more confrontational course on Iraq and the issues of human rights and civil liberties, with some even calling for the impeachment of President Bush.

The carefully calibrated legislative blitz that Democrats have devised for the first 100 hours of power has left some activists worried the passion that swept the party to power in November is already dissipating. A cluster of protesters will greet the new congressional leaders at the Capitol tomorrow. They will not be disgruntled conservatives wary of Democratic control, but liberals demanding a ban on torture, an end to warrantless domestic spying and a restoration of curbed civil liberties.

The protest will be followed by an evening forum calling for the president's impeachment, led by the Center for Constitutional Rights, antiwar activist Cindy Sheehan and a pro-impeachment group called World Can't Wait.

These grass-roots Democrat moonbats think that they are why the Jackass Party won control of congress last year. They should call themselves the coalition of the politically tone-deaf.

They need to go back and look at the winning Democrat campaigns rather than just rereading their own blog posts. What is there about the campaigns of Heath Shuler or Jim Webb that make any of these moonbats think that there will be any energy behind impeachment or efforts to roll back the national security legislation which has kept the nation free of terrorist attacks since 9/11?

The fact is that the USA is a center-right country and is only growing more so. To win Democrats needed to find candidates who were, or at least could pretend to be, conservative. In an environment like this the Democrat leadership is not going to jeapordize its tenuous grip on power by giving in to the loon wing of the party.

Cindy and Co. just need to be patient. The plan is to pretend to be sane until 2008 so that they can enlarge their congressional majority and win the White House. Then declare a "Global Warming Emergency" and suspend the constitution and elections for at least a century. Then they can transform the nation and bring forth the New Soviet Man.
