Democrats doing the politicizing...

Yesterday was the five year anniversary for the tragic events of September 11^th that changed many people’s lives forever. I, like many others, spent Sunday and Monday night watching the ABC special, “Path to 9/11” and no this blog is not directed toward the real-life failures of the Clinton Administration, but instead is focusing upon the reaction given by the Democrats pertaining to President Bush’s speech at 8:00 pm CST last night.

In case you are unaware of last night’s speech, top Democrat Party members feel the president used the national address commemorating 9/11 to make partisan arguments bolstering support for the Iraq war. Nancy Pelosi, who has been mentioned on Conservative-Majority, stated “Rather than try to defend their own failed record, Republicans have resorted to the desperation politics of fear…”

Then there is also Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-NV, who feels “the president spoke for his administration, not for the nation…this was a political move, designed to tap the overwhelming public sentiment to destroy al-Qaeda as a way to bolster sagging public support for the war in Iraq.”

I find it amusing that the Democrats actually believe or maybe expect that they will be able to force President Bush off his positioning with the war in Iraq and Terrorism. How do the Democrats think they will be able to handle this better than the GOP, do they actually think they can be diplomatic, negotiate or reason with these Islamic Fascists?

Let’s be honest here, everything the Democrats are accusing the Republican Party of is exactly what they (Democrats) are guilty of doing themselves. Democrats are the ones politicizing the issues, for instances, look at gasoline. The decrease at the pumps according to Democrats is, “obviously a tactic before elections by the Republican Party”. They accuse President Bush of politicizing last night’s address, right before the elections, but if memory serves me right (no pun intended), 9/11 happened months before the typical election season due to Terrorist members of al-Qaeda, not of the GOP.
