Come November
America has one of the worst voting records in the free world. In the last presidential election, only about 45 percent of those eligible to cast a vote did so. Compare that to recent free elections in Australia 96%, Indonesia 93% and Belgium 91%.
Many Democrats are going to have a hard time getting reelected. Voters aren’t going to switch their votes to Republicans, but the vote is going to be depressed, because potential Democratic and Independent voters will simply not show up at the polls in November. They’re angry and disappointed with lack of progress made by the Democrats in Congress, who appear to be ineffective and cynical. Many voters believe that there is not much difference between the Republican fascist imperialist in the Bush regime and House Democrats, that have failed to defund the war.
Obviously, both political parties find it politically inconvenient to publicly declare that the occupation of Iraq is about controlling the world’s second largest oil reserve. Clinton, Schumer and Gillibrand have never pointed out that the occupation is only helping the oil companies and war profiteers, while our soldiers die and the national debt explodes.
None of these politician have acknowledged the expertise of the former head of the bin Laden unit, Michael Scheuer, who pointed out his concern: “It’s about the impact of our policies in the Islamic world. And because we won’t talk about that here in America, we’re not adequately defended.”
Our nation needs decisive leadership to get us “completely” out of the quagmire in the Middle East, which has already cost more than half a trillion borrowed dollars. Actually, the billions for defense spending, high-paying homeland security jobs and contracts make us less safe.
Democrats need to focus on getting all of our troops out of Iraq or suffer the consequences next November.
