Republicans are fit to be tied about pusillanimous Republicans that won’t fight back against Democratic attacks.
As David Limbaugh sees it:
From the war on Iraq, to Gitmo, to the NSA surveillance program, to the Wilson-Plame fiasco, to global warming, to the firing of eight U.S. attorneys, deceitful Democrats engage in relentless warfare against Republicans, and Republicans -- way too often -- roll over without even returning fire.
Actually, whenever Republicans do fight back they get skewered as mean-spirited and Puritan. So, they figure, what’s the point?
There’s another problem. Republicans don’t believe in fighting other Americans. We believe in fighting foreign terrorists, not foolish mouthy Democrats. We are professionals, business owners, and investors. We believe in voluntary cooperation, following the rules, and serving our fellow men. That’s what successful people do under democratic capitalism.
But Democrats do believe in fighting other Americans. They believe that justice can only be achieved by political fight, by fighting for the people against the powerful, in the immortal words of Al Gore. And they believe that it is not enough to write laws to work towards justice, or commutative justice. They believe in distributive justice, taking stuff from some people and giving it to others. They only sorta believe in democratic capitalism. What they really believe in is politics.
Today, it seemed that President Bush has his limits when it comes to truckling to the Democrats. In a statement to reporters about the US Attorney firings he said:
I will oppose any attempts to subpoena White House officials.
It’s not exactly a ringing counterattack to the Democrats’ charges but it’s a start.
