The Florida/Michigan Democratic primary "do-over" fiasco is so typical of the elitist Democratic Party leaders. They can't even begin to rule themselves and consistently demonstrate that they have no accurate vision of the consequences of their political decisions. Yet they will stop at nothing to try to lure massive numbers of Americans into voting for them to rule all of America.
Look at the huge danger house leader Nancy Pelosi and her devotees are putting us in right now by going on vacation without renewing the vital terrorist surveillance laws, and now not even allowing a vote on the Senate bill that President Bush says is vital to our nation's security and must be passed immediately.
The terrorist surveillance law is intended to help the government pursue suspected terrorists by making it easier to eavesdrop on foreign phone calls and e-mails that pass through the United States. The law expired Feb. 16 after Congress did not quickly renew it. Bush opposed a temporary extension and has warned that failure to renew the law would put the nation at greater risk.
Bush said the House bill "could reopen dangerous intelligence gaps by putting in place a cumbersome court approval process that would make it harder to collect intelligence on foreign terrorists."
"Their partisan legislation would extend protections we enjoy as Americans to foreign terrorists overseas," the president said. "It would cause us to lose vital intelligence on terrorist threats, and it is a risk that our country cannot afford to take."
What a shameful state of affairs for a once great political party.
I suppose Democratic leaders think they can hurl "yes we cans" at the terrorists and that will defend us from a ruthless murdering enemy.
But then, when you think seriously about it, the ladies do swoon in Obama's penetrating presence. That's powerful elitist leadership!
Maybe the Dems do have something valuable happening...
