RUSH: Only one person can put all this together and explain it to you in an understandable way so that it makes total sense, and that is me. So from top to bottom, we\u2019ve heard from George Lakoff, rhymes with. We\u2019ve heard from Howard Dean. And we\u2019ve heard from Hillary Clinton. We\u2019ve heard from John Kerry. We hear from Joe Biden. We hear from Dingy Harry <\/a>Reid. We hear from Nancy Pelosi. We\u2019ve heard from all of these people. Can anybody tell me what the Democrat position is on the war? Can somebody tell me what the Democrat position on the war on terror is? Can you — (interruption) no, that\u2019s not the position. Snerdley says it\u2019s wrong. That\u2019s not a position. What is their position? Their position is cut and run. I don\u2019t care what any of them say, you just heard Kerry. Hillary is the only one who\u2019s not for that, but she doesn\u2019t say it convincingly. But the Democratic Party, et al, is invested in defeat. <\/line>They have no position on the war except lose it and get out of it. They have no position on winning it, they have no position on taking it seriously. They are as divided and clueless as ever, folks. All the ink that\u2019s being spilled writing about how they are reinventing themselves, they are not reinventing themselves. They are a pathetic group of panderers who put power ahead of country. What you are witnessing in the Democratic Party today is the aimless wandering through the desert with one purpose, the acquisition of power for the sake of power. Not for any reason they want to use, not for any reason they want to announce, they just want their power back. They\u2019re entitled to it. It\u2019s their birthright. They don\u2019t care. Mark my words on this. They do not care how 24 Iraqis were killed in Haditha unless it can be used to smear US troops and that\u2019s going to fall apart on them and blow up in their face, too. <\/line><\/p>\n

They didn\u2019t give a rat\u2019s rear end, they didn\u2019t care a whit about 300,000 Iraqis being slaughtered before we went in and the bloodbath that would ensue if we left tomorrow, but they\u2019re going to get all concerned about 24 dead Iraqis if the US military is behind it — that\u2019s when they\u2019re going to get concerned about life in Iraq. They are leftists who want power but they can\u2019t figure out how to get it in a conservative country. Their entire debate is not about ideas. They don\u2019t dare go public with their truthful ideas. Their entire debate is about plans, it\u2019s about strategies, it\u2019s about PR, it\u2019s about themes. Never about their radicalism. They\u2019re debating, in essence, how to deceive the American people so they can win back power. <\/line>Their kook base wants them to sprint over the cliff. Their professional advisors want them to deceive the electorate, deceive the electorate to win, and that\u2019s the battle, whether they should lie about who they are or tell the truth about who they are, and that\u2019s their problem, they can\u2019t tell the truth about who they are. They dare not. And yet it\u2019s the only thing they <\/a>can do. The only thing they can do is be honest. Here\u2019s who we are, here\u2019s what we believe and start debating and try to convince the American people to go along with it. They haven\u2019t got the courage to do that because they know full well that this whole country would oppose them other than a few little blue state enclaves, reject them out of hand even more so than is happening now. So that\u2019s where they\u2019re headed, not so much in 2006, but in 2008. Hillary is not pro-war. Make no mistake. She is not for this war effort. She wants the electorate to think she\u2019s reasonable about war. And that\u2019s why she\u2019s under attack from members of her own base. <\/line>They don\u2019t care, they\u2019re not little “d” democrat types. These people are authoritarians. That\u2019s what liberals are, they are authoritarians and they use any number of techniques to silence people they disagree with, from political correctness to outright censorship to the infallibility of their victims. They are about silencing things they don\u2019t want to hear, silencing people who say things they don\u2019t want to hear and not having to debate those people for fear of losing. They just want more big government, they want more judicial rule, they want more victims, they want power. If you elect these people you\u2019re going to get less political speech, you\u2019re going to get more politically motivated investigations, you\u2019re going to get a tax on talk radio and anybody they think has done them harm who has relegated them to their current status. They\u2019re not leftists, they\u2019re not Democrats; they are authoritarians. But they are confused. They can\u2019t even unify among themselves, which is what happens when you get a group of people together who simply can\u2019t be honest.<\/line><\/p>\n
