Disappointed Dems
If anyone needs evidence that the Democratic Party is sick to its core, they should read the the DNC's message board for reaction to Saddam's capture.
Taranto highlights a few:
Here's a sampling of comments from "Kicking Ass," the official blog of the Democratic National Committee (also quoted verbatim):
* Pam Bergren: "I personally don't care too much that Hussein was caught--he never did anything to me."
* "marsh": "This is supposed to be a war on terror, not a war on tyranny."
* Erik Latranyi: "Well, tha capture of Sadaam takes the 'failure to capture' issue off the table. Now that the economy is picking up (mall was packed yesterday), Iraq is getting better, prescription drugs on the way, education spending at an all-time high, no further terrorist attacks--what is left? Oh, yes, the capture of Bin Laden. If that happens, we are completely sunk."
Now we know what Ronald Reagan, a former Democrat, meant when he declared that he never left the Democratic Party; rather, he said, the Democratic Party left him.
