Let the fire burn, don't rush the Dope

In a speech to some sailors in Jacksonville yesterday the Dear Dope told the sailors, “I will never rush the solemn decision of sending you into harm’s way.”

I guess that’s great if you’re among those slated to be deployed as part of 40,000 reinforcements that Gen McChrystal has asked the Dope to send along to Afghanistan so that the General can implement the Dope’s strategy there.

But what if you’re on of the 60,000 troops already in Afghanistan dodging bullets and roadside bombs? The Dope’s vow to “never rush” may look like dithering if you’re hunkered down in waiting for reinforcements so that you can take the offensive and kick some ass.

And some first year newsie may just ask the Dope what I his definition of “rush” is. Firemen rush to fire. Lifeguards rush into the surf to save troubled swimmers. A mother rushes when she see her child is hurt. Lex rush to dessert table.

Someone ought to show the Dope a calendar. It’s been 2 ½ months since the Dope received HIS General’s request. Whatever you might call it, VP Cheney calls it dithering, it ain’t rushing.

We will not see any “rush to answer McChrystal’s request until after these off-year elections are wrapped up next week. D2 may even be so “deliberate” as to wait for to see what kind of Dear-Dope-a-Care Scrawny Harry Reid is able to push through the senate.

The Dope doesn’t want to send the troops until he gets as many of his zombies to vote for Demo-Dopes up for election next week and Dear-Dope-a-Care. Sending troops to defend America’s interests will certainly piss-off a number of the Dope’s key constituency – America hating loons.

The Griffin sent his analysis of MSM Demo-Dope hype that 60% favor the public option:

I decided to find out what the heck was in the poll that all the libs pointed to last week saying that 60% of “everyone” wanted a public option. I also saw that the major news networks were at the WH last week (except for FOX) for over two hours. There is something funny happening with these polls. Here is what I heard many times over the last 4-5 days.

1) Favor or oppose health care? Split is 49% to 49%.
2) Want the public option? Split is 61% for it and 38% against it.

Am I the only one thinking that this makes no sense?

1) Would you buy this manure spreader for $250k? 100% no to 0 yes%
2) Would you buy the red or the brown one? Red at 60% and brown at 40%.

People are 60% in favor of the red one. Tell production to buy 10,000 gallons of the red paint! What a load of BS. But it gets better. Read the final question I have below. I can read it as “would you favor a government run health care option or a private run public health care option?”


23. Now thinking specifically about the health insurance plans available to most Americans, would you favor or oppose creating a public health insurance option administered by the federal government that would compete with plans offered by private health insurance companies?
