The Damn Weekly DSCC Email Update; Bush Isn't Evil, Just Incompetent
Topic: Politics

We thought we had made it. Almost one full week without an email from the damn Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. But our hopes were dashed as we saw it resting comfortably in our Inbox, beckoning us to open it and say hello. But this week had a decent draw; a note from Joe Biden, Democratic Senator from Delaware and one of the only Democrats who isn't a complete useless waste of flesh.

So what did Joey B. have to say? Well let's take a look.

In Iraq, a dictator is gone, and that's a good thing. But we may be on the verge of trading him for chaos and a haven for terror. Osama bin Laden remains at large, despite tough rhetoric from the White House. The failed response to Hurricane Katrina - a natural disaster we knew was coming - raises serious concerns over how we would deal with another surprise terrorist attack. - The entire note so far has been about national security. And Biden makes good points. And then he brings up Katrina and never mentions it again. This Democratic ploy has been as overused recently as 9/11 has by the GOP. Enough already!

The hardest fact of all is this: we do not have a strategy to protect America, or leadership in Washington that can put us back on track. Democrats have a plan for real security that focuses on two overriding and connected challenges. - Ah, the Democrats don't have a strategy. Instead, they have a plan. But they still won't tell us what it is, which is why they will continue to lose elections.

The American people are starting to see the administration's policies of military preemption and stubborn ideology are not making us more secure. Only a Democratic Senate can put a stop to these failed strategies. - Sorry, but he had us until the last sentence. We can look past the Katrina mention and the lack of what we call "plan disclosure." But the only thing that will even out the balance of power that Biden speaks of is not a Democratic Senate. It's a bi-partisan Senate. As soon as both parties realize this, our country will be better off.
