"Knocking it out of the Ballpark" on the first question!

I know you've probably all heard this by now, but I can't stop chuckling over it! Those crazy lovable Dems, just when you think you've got them figured out..........

For years all we've heard is, "President Bush, stop the war! Bring our troops home NOW!" God, it's been the daily "mantra" of every Democrat in Congress and those running for anything, anywhere, since the war started! The whole Party's been screaming at Bush....."Stop the War!" "Get out of Iraq NOW!" You'd have thought you were listening to Tom Hayden & Jane Fonda in 1969.....Wait a minute - we are - she's still doing it!

Last night the "big three" Democrat candidates - along with "those other 5 guys" - squared off in a debate at Dartmouth College, in "New Hampsha." (You have to say it really fast, NewHampsha!)

The "SEMINAL MOMENT" of the entire debate came minutes after it started, when Obama, Clinton, and Edwards were all asked "if they would guarantee to pull all U.S. combat troops from Iraq by the end of the next presidential term in 2013?" Take note - the question wasn't would you remove them immediately, or in a year or two? The question was...would you remove them in 4 years? (I was actually sitting there thinking, "What ever happened to Bring 'em home NOW?)

For the "politically uninitiated," this question is what's known in debate circles as a "softball question" or a "Homerun pitch" because it's so easy to hit, and because the answer is always guaranteed to whip your side into a frenzy every time it's asked! What's more important, the issue, is exactly what the Democrats have been BLUDGEONING President Bush with, since....well.... since maybe 90 days after we took down Saddam's Iraq! Surely, here was coming the "answer" that would send Speaker Pelosi & Majority Leader Reid reeling into rapture! What happened was anything but. What happened was what Homer Simpson might call...a"D'oh" moment! Here are the quotes from each one of them as reported on CNNPolitics.com this morning.
  • "I think it's hard to project four years from now," said Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois in the opening moments of a campaign debate in the nation's first primary state. (Hmmm, but you and the rest of the Dems expected this President and all the Generals to! Interesting.)
  • "It is very difficult to know what we're going to be inheriting," added Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York. NOTE: In addition - Mrs. Clinton declared, "that I intend to be the Health Care President!" (Really! Health care is more important than National Defense and Security, Mrs. C? OK ,you wanna go with that.)
  • "I cannot make that commitment," said former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina. (I understand John, it might effect your hedge fund!)
DID YOU ALL HEAR THAT COLLECTIVE "THUMP?" Across the country - Liberal jaws had just "bounced" off Liberal floors!! The SAVIORS of our country, the best candidates to insure that America will reclaim her place among Nations.......the Democrat equivalent of "The 3 Wisemen." Each one has just said, they couldn't even guarantee that they'd pull troops out BY THE END of their first terms!!!

Geez, I guess all those protester signs are obsolete now! No more of that - and with one question Cindy Sheehan gets sent back home - again! Thanks guys!

Dear President Bush - The next time one of your "learned opponents" demands that you pull our troops out immediately - tell them to see Hillary, Barack or John.

Dum Spiro Spero!
