DLC’s “Battered Wife Syndrome” on display
I was listening to Bill Press’ interview with Harold Ford, Jr. - the current head of the DINO “Leadership” Council - on the subject of Bush’s veto of S-CHIP expansion. I seriously had not heard a greater crock of feces than Ford’s lame excuses for wanting to give Bush whatever he wanted.
I mean, seriously. Ford suggested that we “compromise” by giving Bush the bill he says he wants and dare him to veto it. Two problems with this: one - the whole country, not to mention a near veto-proof majority of Congress, wants the bill that Bush vetoed to pass, and two - that Ford’s prattle reminds one of the battered wife who thinks that her husband beating the shit out of her every night is really her fault, and that because he’s promised that he has changed, she should give him one more chance. Well, Congressman Ford, we’ve given Bush “one more chance” several times in the last few years - on Iraq, on torture, on spying on political opponents American citizens, you name it. Bush, like the battering husband, refuses to change - using every possible issue as a club with which to wield against the Democrats in Congress.
Enough is enough. It is far past time for Bush to be held accountable for his blatant, rampant criminality. Impeach now, for America’s sake.
