Risking Our Security

Congress: Democrats continue to poke, prod and probe the Bush administration. Some of the investigations are a mere nuisance. Others, if not reined in, will compromise our national security.

We've editorialized recently about the many attack investigations on the White House, thinking Democrats had only launched a few dozen because no one had a real handle on how deep their maliciousness ran. Now we know.

White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said last week that the Democrats had "launched over 300 investigations, had over 350 requests for documents and interviews, and they have had over 600 oversight hearings in just about 100 days."

I’m sure all this has the far-left kook base drooling and screaming for blood (witness Cindy’s challenge to Pelosi).

But I wonder what the more centrist, moderate base thinks about this?

Isn't that sort of like the moderate Centrist base of the Muslims....a fantasy?

No, I was thinking about the RATS who might not vote for Hillary and therefore might vote for a pub. Yellow dog or blue dog RATS, I forget which color.

I have spoken with several RATS that are VERY upset with the way the RATS have run Congress so far.

“...long term, their witch hunts will hurt them as much as they will ordinary Americans.”
I take exception to this statement. The Democrats have exhibited an amazing ability to turn on a dime while poor old John Q. takes it on the chin. The next bloody nose and the next will be Bush’s fault.
