Bloomberg reports that Democrats are becoming worried
When the Democratic Party called up recently to ask Myrna Burgess for a campaign contribution, she answered with an emphatic ``no.''
``Nothing has been done as far as the war is concerned,'' said Burgess, 72, an Amtrak worker from Levittown, Pennsylvania.
More than a year after anti-war voters like Burgess helped give Democrats control of Congress, there are more troops in Iraq, lawmakers have approved almost $100 billion in new war spending and congressional approval ratings are at record lows.
Democrats now worry that their inability to make good on campaign promises to end or slow the war in Iraq will have consequences. The disaffection has already fueled at least four anti-war primary challenges to party incumbents, raising fears among some lawmakers of an intra-party fight that could drain momentum before next year's elections.
And the most vocal are the kooks and nuts
Still, there are some trouble spots for Democrats, as groups across the country begin to try to harness the voter disapproval. In Washington state, the anti-war group MoveOn.org has produced ads condemning Democratic Representative Brian Baird for his refusal to support legislative timetables for a withdrawal from Iraq. The group is also polling members on whether to mount primary challenges against the lawmakers they consider ineffective in trying to end the war.
Going to be fun in 2008 --- Live by the Moonbats, die by the Moonbats. Hate is really a blinding feature of Moonbat worship. It doesn't look like the Liberal elite has learned that lesson.
