Keith Olberman tells it like it is, more than once. Even for those with low expectations, the Democrats have not not only been a miserable failure, but have betrayed their voters.
You, the men and women elected with the simplest of directions—Stop The War—have traded your strength, your bargaining position, and the uniform support of those who elected you”¦ for a handful of magic beans.
You may trot out every political cliché from the soft-soap, inside-the-beltway dictionary of boilerplate sound bites, about how this is the “beginning of the end” of Mr. Bush’s “carte blanche” in Iraq, about how this is a “first step.”
Well, Senator Reid, the only end at its beginning… is our collective hope that you and your colleagues would do what is right, what is essential, what you were each elected and re-elected to doBecause this “first step””¦ is a step right off a cliff.
You know you’ve messed up when even Democratic fan boys like Kos are pissed off.
But today, that trust of the voters was betrayed. Democrats proved that they won’t fight for what is right, nor will they fight to keep the promises they made the electorate.
