Lately, while Watching the Cable News Networks in action ...especially MSNBC.. regardless of the ratings and aside from C-Span they are presenting the most well balanced discussion.... I repeat ..discussion=viewpoints... not news reporting.... if I want that I will go to the internet... and scan the Newspapers.
Anyways .. The Democrats are kicking royal ass... they have the Republicans up against the wall with their index fingers sliding up and down their lips as they attempt to speak. The issue ... of course.. it is the cluster fuck that is Iraq. The Republicans are a beaten group and they know it. There is no defense against questions as to why we went in the first place? What are we doing there now? What does Iraq have to do with terrorism? Wy are we spendng billions per day?
When Republicans try to justify they come across as out of touch.
Watching this made me think.. how the Democrats can take the Iraqi issue and aplly it towards the real top issues of the Day. Energy ..its role in Economic, Environment and World Peace. You see.. no matter how one wants to twist and rewrite the story.. the real reason for our presence in the middle east is pure and simple... World Dominance over the region that supports our addiction ...which is black gold ..... terrorism is a by product... an excuse to call to arms.., fanning the flames of religous prophecies.
So I figure if the Dems were smart... they'll take this Iraqi issue which they are winning hands down...and add some real thunder...and at the same time raise the Consciousness of the Citizenry they wish to represent... and at the same time do some real good for our future.
You see the way I figure it... the cost of this War is so astronimical ...it is hard to justify supporting a cause for which cannot be rationally justified in the face of knowing damn well the true reasons for which we are really there. Knowing full well there are technologies inplace that could greatly ease the dependence on that which we have an addiction too.. black gold. If we take the money we have been spending on Iraq (which is money spent on something we dont really know what we are spending it for, but yet we really do) and applied it towards a fast track program to build an infrastructure that would support alternative fuels in mass transit zones ..., increase the amount of wind energy and Nuclear plants, we would effectively be killing a few birds with a few stones. We would be less dependent on a region we feel the need to dominate for a sole purpose... black gold.., and we would be improving the environment and maybe stall the eventuality of global warming, we would open up new markets and creating new economies.. Hey! Im beginning to sound like Al Gore!! And yes.. we have the abiltiy to take the world by storm and lead it into new unchated territories of Peace and Cooperation.
This is the message the Dems should use to rip the Hearts out of those who are demonstrating that they just dont get it. Tie the two together.... thats a genuine Concept that will hit home.
