Cause: Dem congress signals NVN doesn’t need to sweat old disgraced Nixon’s Paris Peace Accords, then cuts off our ally (by treaty, no less), SVN.

Effect: Pol Pot, Boat People (millions dead), Sandinistas (hundreds of thousands dead), USSR invades toward Persian Gulf (million dead), Ayatollah revolution (million and counting), USSR shoots the Pope, Tony Orlando & Dawn, Captain & Tenille have hit records, the current war, the new jihad, opens against the West.

okay, oversimplified for comment brevity, but not to the point of being wrong in the premise.

Look at the world, just in the five years 1975-1980.

We’re STILL trying to clean up those five years, and may not be able too, even ever.

No matter what our personal opinion of Bush and his implementation of this War is or has been… it seems pretty obvious than a majority of Americans think he’s not doing a very good job. Left alone, he would have probably sunk an even larger number of Republicans and guaranteed that the House, Senate and White House would be run by Democrats for at least the next 4 years. If Pelosi and co keep this up… the republicans may, at least, retain some power.

I dunno why all of you get so upset about the Dems and think they threaten our society… they can’t even use a gift like this administration to their advantage. I doubt they’ll be able to overthrow Christianity, impose gay marriage on all citizens and have time to convert us all to Islam. I’d be impressed if they could handle passing a bill or two that wasn’t obvious bullshit.

Case in point: dumping Harmon, who actually has a brain & uses it.

So, a Carter-sized disaster is brewing.

Antidote, as promoguy says, help the live-in-the-moment folks learn to comprehend “cause-and-effect”. Point out the effect of Carter, so that it doesn’t just seem like it was “shit happens” destiny.

It was destiny only in the sense that our “oh, whatever” decade or two made it so.

Also along was House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Tom Lantos, D-Calif., who said the meeting was “only the beginning of our constructive dialogue with Syria, and we hope to build on this visit.” That suggested Democrats are going beyond unobjectionable fact-finding and getting-to-know-you conversation into something closer to negotiations, undermining U.S. diplomacy.

If there’s any justification for Pelosi’s trip, it is that foreign travel by members of Congress is important. Many come to office with little knowledge of the world and soon need to make important decisions about it. This was starkly evident in December when the congressman Pelosi chose to head the critical House Intelligence Committee revealed that he didn’t know the difference between Sunnis and Shiites

I guess along with the WaPo article Republican campaign material is starting to flow into the RNC on the dangers of the Dems.

Damn, I hope they use it.
