Summarizing the 2007 Congress

We are now at the end of 2007 and the results are in--on record, that is, and the record is dismal for the “New Democrat Congress”. Most of the year was frittered away at impotent and useless attempts at legislation that would deny funding to our military efforts in Iraq, and as a result make a difficult situation worse. Make the situation so bad, in fact, that President Bush would have to pull the troops out and abandon Iraq; a complete and utter failure-- the ultimate embarrassment to President Bush and the Republicans.

The Congressional Democrats failed--it didn’t work. Thanks to President Bush, and his commitment to the people of Iraq and the American ideal of freedom, a new plan and renewed effort called the “surge” is now bringing significant success and hope to millions of people. Even as late as September congress called hearings to further question our leaders in Iraq and try to convince the American people that Iraq was a lost cause. It was at this time that the Democrats and the Left Wing of their party slimed General Petraeus by calling him “General Betrayus” in a paid advertisement in the New York Times newspaper.

Even as the Democrats in congress were brow-beating General Petraeus, the news coming from Iraq was showing positive results that the surge was working. The Iraqi people, both Sunni and Shia, were fed up with the terrorists and were turning to the American military and aiding them in the fight against al Qaeda. The tide had already started to turn in August: violence and killing dropped in September and October; November and December brought continuing improvements and much of the civil life of Iraq is returning to pre-war activities.

The Congress of 2007 revealed the true colors of the Democrat Party that wants to run the country. In less than a year we have seen their weak-kneed support of Freedom. We have seen their disdain for our Armed Forces. We have heard their apologies for America. In the election year 2008 the voters of America will have the chance to tell the Democrats and their radical Left-Wing that we have had enough of them. Our country needs leaders who believe in America and will stand up for Freedom. A Free World depends upon American leadership.
