Daschle puts politics before security


So Democrats whine, bitch, and moan about not being consulted. Now that the President has agreed to take the issue to Congress they act surprised. Daschle, who supported attacking Iraq just 4 years ago under Clinton, is wavering now. It is going to be interesting to see just how Daschle and the democrats pull off delaying the vote until after the November election. Look for them to keep requesting more information, so that they can analyze everything.

Hopefully, the American public will see the Daschle delaying tactics for what they are. This is the man who has refused to bring issues to a vote, simply because he doesn't like them. Our courts are understaffed, our military is under funded, and numerous bills languish in purgatory because Daschle 'doesn't think the votes are there.' If the votes aren't there to pass some of this legislation, why doesn't he put it up for a vote? Because the votes are there.

Daschle has a simple policy. Since he sets the agenda, bills he wants to pass get a vote. If they don't pass, they get another vote. If they don't pass again, they are reworked and get yet another vote. Bills that Daschle doesn't support never even get to the floor. When Daschle is called on it in the media, he says 'the votes aren't there'. When conservative democrats like Zell Miller step forward and voice support for the bill, Daschle claims that there is not a 60 vote majority, so it is not worth voting on. If Iraq is going to attack somebody, I hope they don't do it before the election. Because Daschle is not going to let the US get involved until after November.
