The truth, oh my, what is that

I hate election rhetoric, I physically cannot stand this time of the year. There was a time that I enjoyed the exchanges between the candidates and the parties, but that soon progressed into negative advertising then on to our present day “call them anything you want as long as you say you endorse the message” bovine excrement slinging.

Jennifer Loven, a reporter with The Washington Post wrote, “With just over five weeks to go before midterm elections in which GOP control of Congress could be at risk, Democrats have been citing a government intelligence assessment to bolster their criticism of Bush's approach to Iraq. The classified National Intelligence Estimate, parts of which Bush declassified earlier this week, says the Iraq war has contributed to a global growth in the terrorist movement, but it also says success there could drain jihadists of momentum.”

Does anyone notice that last comment after the “but”? The Democrats sure have not read that part, nor any other part of a positive nature, only the negative statements they can best use for the bovine excrement slinging that is so popular these days.

Never mind the fact that al-Qaeda, (I linked to that because there are so many spellings of this that it drives me nuts, so I will stick with this one) just released a statement that approximately 4,000 insurgents have been killed as a result of the war in Iraq, or that our military is in control with our warrior patrolling the streets where the terrorists once walked freely and called home.

Never mind the fact that Iraq had the first democratic, free election in their history and the people voted in a government who has since ratified a constitution, after all, this matters not, what only matters is the media says we are doing bad, so dammit we are doing bad. The media has spoken, all bow down and prostrate yourself to the media God.

Yes, there are insurgents and if the democrats would bother to attend security briefings they would understand the situation. These are the remnants of Saddam’s guard and others from Syria and elsewhere who have joined them in an attempt to rid Iraq of the infidels. They do not grasps this because the media says it is a civil war, not insurgents and once again, the media God has spoken and the media God controls the American people who in turn control the votes.

Can I get an amen to that brothers and sisters.
