The Defeatest Party?

I think the Democratic party should be renamed the 'defeatest' party.  I sincerely wonder if they have the good of the nation at heart at times.

A couple of articles that outline their intentions with the bone-headed move to vote on a timetable in the Senate this past week...

This withdrawal panic ironically comes on the eve of what is likely to be the third successful Iraqi election in a year. This one will elect a permanent government, which will have the legitimacy to assert itself with far more authority. Iraqi political leaders are emerging, sectarian factions are participating in the democratic process, and the U.S. military has done a splendid job under the most trying circumstances. Iraqi forces are getting more capable every day. The Beltway retreat puts all of this progress at risk.

Yes, politics ain't beanbag. But there is a larger danger in the Democratic strategy of attempting to make George Bush into the Wizard of Oz, a man whose every statement about threats to American security is fantasy and falsity. Pounding through the media that the prewar intelligence was a conscious lie may incline the American people to believe the whole Iraq enterprise is false, and worse, that the very notion of weapons of mass destruction is also doubtful. The psychology of the big lie can sometimes run out of control.

I am constantly amazed at the short memory of Americans.  From the Clintonian, 'worst economy since the great depression' to 'Bush lied about the reasons for going to war with Iraq'.  Democrats time and time have argued points, by ignoring glaring facts that stare them in the face...all the while, a complicent media allows this amnesia to continue...instead of doing their job by checking and double checking facts before reporting.
