Cheney tells it like it is, Pelosi cries

This one’s driving me batty. I don’t know why it should, because the Democrats are acting precisely the way they always do: like whiny bitches.
Wednesday, Vice Pres. Dick Cheney criticized the Pelosi/Murtha plan for defeat (you know, the one where they de-fund the military and pull out our troops, following the wishes of al-Qaeda).
“I think if we were to do what Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Murtha are suggesting, all we will do is validate the al-Qaida strategy,” the vice president told ABC News. “The al-Qaida strategy is to break the will of the American people … try to persuade us to throw in the towel and come home, and then they win because we quit.”
Pretty straightforward, right?
Well, only if one is using logic.
Rather than debate the strengths – or even reasons – for their position, Nancy Pelosi opens her Democrat playbook and attempts to use high-sounding language to stifle Cheney’s criticism:
Pelosi, at a news conference in San Francisco, said Cheney’s criticism of Democrats was “beneath the dignity of the debate we’re engaged in and a disservice to our men and women in uniform, whom we all support.”
Not only that, but she then whined that she was gonna go tattle to Cheney’s boss if he didn’t play nice and roll over for her.
“And you know what I’m going to do? I’m going to call the president and tell him I disapprove of what the vice president said,” Pelosi said. “It has no place in our debate.”
Typical liberalism.
- Claim to support the troops.
- Attempt to insure America’s (and therefore, Bush’s) defeat.
- Shame any opposition into silence.
- Act insulted that their patriotism might be in question.
Actually, I didn’t see that Cheney said a single word about her patriotism. “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.”
The only thing she forgot to do was claim that Murtha’s defeatist plan was “for the children.”
