A Golden Opportunity
The Democrats received what everyone knew was coming yesterday. George W. Bush vetoed legislation calling for a timeline for troop pullout. This comes as no surprise.
The ball is back in the Democrats' court. What they do with it will determine the fate of the party for the next five or six years, if not longer.
George W. Bush is calling for a compromise. The fact is, a compromise is a victory for him and for the Republicans. It politically justifies his veto. More importantly, it shows that the now majority Democrats are just as weak as the once minority Democrats of the past six years. Bush will continue to control Congress and the Senate, and will still have carte blanche to do as he wishes.
The opportunity here is to not let that happen. A fight will strengthen them. It will give them the edge and will finally topple the stranglehold this administration has had on America.
For six years, the administration launched harsh and unethical attacks at its opponents. It's time to respond in kind. A simple campaign based on this premise: George Bush cares more about his legacy than about the lives of Americans. Unlike the swiftboat charges against John Kerry, this one is true.
At a time of an unwarranted and unpopular war waged by unethical people, the opposition needs to make their stand. This is the golden ticket. This is the opportunity to get this country back.
I only hope the Democrats are strong enough to see it.
