So it is a big night in the Senate.  A potential all night debate on Iraq.  Get the no-doze and cots ready.  There are even rumors that the dems. are going to use capital hill police to drag Republicans to the floor.  There are a couple of things that I find interesting....er...um...hypocritical (just on a side note, when you look up the word hypocrite in Websters Dictionary, there should just be a picture of the Democratic donkey).  Anyhoo, I was watching Dick Durbin speak on the floor earlier, and he was complaining how the Republicans were demanding a 60 vote majority to close debate and that this has come from nowhere.  Really?  Hey Dicky, wasn't it the Dems. who demanded a 60 vote super majority on the President's judicial nominations?  Me thinks so!  The other thing I find interesting is how the Dems. just shoot their mouths off all of the time, never remembering their previous statements.  Remember how late last year Harry Reid said we needed more troops in Iraq?  Then, when the President announced the troop surge, he was all of a sudden against it!  In addition, the Dems. helped to confirm General Petraeus 81-0.  Let me restate that....81-0.  Now they refuse to give this great man the time he needs to see if the surge works?  The fifth battalion of the surge only got to Iraq last month.  There are numerous reports saying that it is working.  But, no we can't wait until his report in September, we have to be defeated now.  Harry Reid said that we need to start listening to the generals.  Then he came out and said he didn't believe the generals and even called retiring general Peter Pace "incompetent" to a group of liberal bloggers.  The amazing thing is Dems. truly don't understand why they are thought to be weak on national defense.  It's kinda hard to believe their tough on national defense when it seems all they really believe in is making sure we lose.  But hey, maybe we should listen to them, because after all this new Democratic controlled Congress has been extremely successful.....in the renaming of post offices!!  The issue of our time people!
