Git 'er Done
"The bad thing of war is that it makes more evil people than it can take away." Immanual Kant (1724-1804 German philosopher)
Tomorrow morning in Baghdad, our troops will be expected to protect Iraqis on both sides from sectarian violence, while being attacked by both sides, and trying not to take a side themselves.
Tomorrow, a newly elected Democratic majority takes office in Washington and in state capitals across the country. Many Democrats will be celebrating as they head into the New Year because they are the majority in the House and the Senate, and having captured the majority of governorships. They believe that the 2006 election made it clear where voters stand, because every single incumbent Democrat was re-elected and many more Democrats beat Republican candidates everywhere.
Hopefully, they will celebrate something more important than winning an election. They should be celebrating an opportunity to change our country for the better. Their efforts must be to beat back cynicism and help people believe that they can make change and solve real problems.
Some Democrats claim that elections are not mandates, but power being loaned to politicians for a period of time. Nevertheless, congressional Democrats need to be reminded that although they are presently in the majority, voters will expect them to fulfill the promises they made in the election. Many Democratic, Republican and Independent voters believe that congressional Democrats were given a mandate to get our troops out of Iraq before 2008. Newly elected Democrats in both the House and Senate are expected to get it done. The voters that put them in office are not in a mood to accept excuses two years from now.
Many voters and people throughout the world will not begin to celebrate until Bush is out of office and all of our troops are out of Iraq. One election may be over, but Democratic party leaders need to focus on the war in Iraq. Git ‘er done or suffer the consequences in 2008.
