When Will the DemoRats Learn?

I really wish the Demorats and Nancy Pelosi in particular would just get off their high and mighty mountains of self adoration and talk with the common men and women around the nation.

These are quotes from her 45 minute tirade earlier in May:

"Bush is an incompetent leader. In fact, he's not a leader,'' Pelosi said. "He's a person who has no judgment, no experience and no knowledge of the subjects that he has to decide upon.''

"He has on his shoulders the deaths of many more troops, because he would not heed the advice of his own State Department of what to expect after May 1 when he ... declared that major combat is over,'' Pelosi charged. "The shallowness that he has brought to the office has not changed since he got there.''

"Not to get personal about it, but the president's capacity to lead has never been there. In order to lead, you have to have judgment. In order to have judgment, you have to have knowledge and experience. He has none,'' Pelosi said.

"This president has demonstrated very clearly that he does not have the capacity to present a plan to transition,'' she said.

"The only way we can get more troops from other countries is to have a president who respects the other countries. It's hopeless for George Bush. He has made it hopeless.''

"The risk in many of us speaking out in the way that I'm speaking out to you right now is that people will say, 'Oh, it's just political,' '' Pelosi said.

Yet in the end, Pelosi said, she is confident that the failures in Iraq, as well as discontent over domestic issues, will defeat Bush in November.

"He's gone,'' Pelosi said of Bush. "He's so gone.''

Can you believe this liberal Demorat from San Francisco has the gall to say Bush is incompetent as President? What leadership and experience does the Queen Nancy bring to the table? What would be her plan for fighting the "War on Terrorism"? How would she protect Americans at home and abroad? How would she do anything differently and still provide for the security of the nation against all enemies foreign and domestic? Did she actually take the "Oath of Office" seriously when she was sworn in as a member of the Senate?

Oh, you didn't know there was an "Oath of Office" : http://www.senate.gov/artandhistory/history/common/briefing/Oath_Office.htm ? No, I guess you probably didn't. For those of you have never served in the federal government either as a civilian or soldier, here it is:

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God."

Obviously from a review of this oath, which they all take, the Demorats for the most part think this oath means nothing for them. But did you know this is the same Oath all soldiers and Federal employees take? I can guarantee you this Oath MEANS something to the soldiers and career employees. You don't get rich in the military or government employment. But you do get rich as an elected representative.

Maybe it time for our elected leaders to start taking their oaths and commitments to the voters who put them in office seriously. Maybe it's time for them to put petty partisanship behind them and renew their committment to do the peoples business. They should not see their terms in office as a means to enrich themselves with the unfair advantage their positions give them, maybe they need to stop buying votes with the tax payers dollars. Maybe they should be rallying behind the President while troops are deployed into harms way.

If they really don't like what is happening, they really need to stop whining and start bringing their own ideas and solutions to the table. It's too easy to sit back and with the liberal press's assistance, engage in name calling and partisan politics, through stonewalling and obstruction of getting the peoples business done.

This issue will not go away until we, as the electorate, take back control of our elected officials and remind them who they really work for, it's not those with the big bucks to hire lobbyists or pad the pockets of politicians.

Nancy Pelosi, if you don't have anything constructive to say, just shut your mouth and go away! Grrrrrr...
