gets it and you can read his special comment from last nights Countdown show here
The gist of which to me is:
Harry says they don't have a veto-proof majority and he's right about that. Unfortunately what Harry doesn't realize that the capitulation to Bush will guarantee that they never will have one.
The gist of which to me is:
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 do.
Because this “first step”… is a step right off a cliff.
Harry says they don't have a veto-proof majority and he's right about that. Unfortunately what Harry doesn't realize that the capitulation to Bush will guarantee that they never will have one.
What is it about politicians that keep them from "getting" what things are truly about?
