David Horowitz on Book TV: Party of Defeat




Since the Democratic opposition to the war began I have always believed it was a deliberately cynical and treasonous position taken as a means of gaining political power. This book makes that assertion and from the looks of it (I have yet to read it) the authors make the charge stick.

Anyone feeling smug about a Democratic victory in November will have to think again.

There is very little wiggle room here for the Democrats.

This Fall they will be known as the Party of Defeat for another reason.

He is respected by many and his endorsement is significant to some people.

If a potential reader doesn't know of Horowitz and his work at FRONTPAGE MAGAZINE they just might know who Sean Hannity is and on his recommendation might read this book.

It works for the overall good I think

As much as it pains me to say it, the Democratic Party HAS to go this route in order to make themselves out to be not agreeing with their opponents...

Unfortunately, that means the worse America gets, the more they smile...

America loses in Iraq?...advantage Democrats...

America's economy tanks?...advantage Democrats...

Jobless rates go up?...advantage Democrats...

Housing forecloseures?...advantage Democrats...

The world hates America?...advantage Democrats...

When it comes to the choices of (A) America coming out better and Democrats not coming to power, or (B) America coming out worse and Democrats gaining power, they choose B...

Yup.

They could have been loyal to America regarding the war and opposed the GOP on the other issues but they chose to ride the treasonous horse and it's going to fall on them in November.

I'm sorry I'm not able to follow your meaning in this part.

You can make the same claime about any down turn where the opposite party starts looking good to people.

What you said SOUNDS nice, but that's not what's happening...

There is a VERY BIG difference between disagreeing with the president by opposing legislation and ACTIVELY undermining the president on legislation that has already passed...

THAT is undermining nomatter how you look at it...

Ever since the Iraq War started, and continuing through to this very day, the Democrats have repeatedly trashed the legislation AFTER each bill to provide funding was signed into law...At any time, they could say "It's not something "I" want, but Congress has spoken, and it falls on the side of the president."...Instead, they say "Congress has spoken, but I'll just continue to whine and whine and whine."...

Over 40 TIMES the Democratic leadership in both houses of Congress have tried to undermine the war with NEW legislation and have failed on every occasion...

When Reid said "The war is lost", that's not just "disagreeing with the president"....That's blatantly giving the enemies we're fighting in Iraq motivation...That's UNmotivating our own troops...That's undermining...

And it's NOT pundits either...These are people elected to represent our country...

Democrat Kerry saying if you're uneducated, you end up in Iraq...Democrat Durbin saying American troops are like Nazis...Democrat Bennett calling our troops mercenaries...

Do you think that's the same thing as "disagreeing with the president" or not liking a policy?...

And leaving Iraq before it's rightful end is a message to the world (especially our own allies) that when the going gets tough, America will NOT stand side by stand with the people they attempt to defend...

That's about the size of it,it's sad and also true.However..when it comes to the economy,jobless rates and a war that is "perceived" to be going badly,the President in power takes the heat be they Democratic or Republican! I have seen and heard enough political maneuvering and partisan rhetoric to last me a lifetime.

The blame game is part of our political structure and the stench is becoming too difficult for some of us to tolerate much longer.I used to thrive on the tactics that each side uses against each other.Now I view it a detrimental to finding solutions to the many problems that confront us today.

In a sense..the blame game is nothing more than a vetting process.If one can make a charge against one's opponent "stick"..they win! It matters not if the charge is true..all that matters in politics is that one defeats one's opponent by any means necessary.....

Americans and probably every other Democratic country tend to vote their pocketbooks and second, they get tired of protracted wars. Just a fact of life, we have low attention spans. Under the present administration, we have had both a dent in the old purse and a protracted war. Whether it is George's fault or not, we may do what we have done in the past. Which is "throw the bums out" and start fresh.
The economy wasn't as bad as it is now when George Bush Sr. was in office, but it was tight. No flamboyance. We had a war that didn't last long. But outsourcing was beginning to be felt and layoffs were still creeping into the picture. So people voted for Clinton. But it could have been any Democrat with enough money to finish the race.
We had Black Monday in 1929. Hoover was in the White House. We tossed him out in favor of Roosevelt, who was of the opposite party.
