They may have won the House and Senate but, the way the Democrats think today is definitely a minority. Their mode of thinking, their view of the world, their view of this country’s place in the world, is a minority opinion in this country. They may not even realize it.

When you have a bunch of lap dogs around you, this is one of the problems that highly successful people have. They surround themselves with a bunch of “yes” people that will say whatever the highly successful person wants to hear, so they can stay in good graces, get paid and be whatever. That’s the Media, in a sense, just bucking these guys up.

These headlines are ridiculous yesterday. “What do the Democrats have to do now? What will the Democrats do now?”

Well, they’re going to retreat, well, they’re going to withdraw, well, they’re going to move to the middle, well, they’re depressed, well, they’re this or that.

So they sit there and live with this preoccupation that they’re getting tricked, this barbecue jockey from Texas somehow is using slick packaging and marketing to defeat them, because he’s too stupid to do it on his own.

They really think they and the American people are being screwed. The lesson here is humility.incapable arrogance When something goes wrong, the first person or organization that you look to to find out what might be wrong, is yourself and your organization. They are and their cockiness and their superiority and their elitism, and basically the way they lie to themselves.

Now, folks, when I make allegations about people such as I just did about the Democrats, I don’t just say it. I give you evidence.

I want to share with you something that Nancy Pelosi said this week: “What Congress is trying to do is a responsible deployment, redeployment and a change of mission in Iraq so that we can focus on three things: redeployment out…” Folks, stick with me on this. She said they’re focusing on three things in Congress: “redeployment out, readiness of our troops, strengthening our military to protect our interests wherever they may be threatened, and focusing on the real war on terror — which is Afghanistan, as well now as in Iraq.”

Now, in the first place, that’s four things. But do you understand what she just did? She just said we want to take the troops out of Iraq, redeploy ’em out so that we can have them ready to protect our interests in Afghanistan and Iraq!

They’re always portrayed as the smartest people, the most learned, the most scholarly. I’m telling you, here, we’re dealing with people with the IQ basically above that of two eraser heads — and I’m being generous there!

She said this: “We have said the troops can stay.” Arrogance, condescension. We have said? She has no constitutional power to say “we” anything. She ain’t the commander-in-chief, and neither is Harry Reid.

But she said, “We have said the troops can stay, a small number can stay, whatever number necessary to fight the Al-Qaeda. But we must get our combat troops out of that civil war in Iraq. We are trying to find our common ground. That’s where I told him the House Democrats were.” You cannot say something like this without having two characteristics about you: A, genuine stupidity; and, B, arrogance and superiority.

“We have said the troops can stay, a small number could stay, whatever number necessary to fight the Al-Qaeda.” Whatever number necessary to fight “the” Al-Qaeda? “”But we must get our combat troops out of that civil war in Iraq.” Uh, if a Republican had said something like this, it would have been Dan Quayle all over again. That’s just Nancy Pelosi.

Here’s Harry Reid: “This war is president’s war, and the Republicans have bought this war hook, line, and sinker. We’ve done our very best to do the right thing for our country. We’ve kept the president’s foot to the fire. And as a result, we believe the American people see what we’ve done here and what we have here. We have a Bush war supported by Republicans in Congress.”

Now, he’s being political. He’s trying to position this as Bush’s war because they have to circle the wagons now. But, again, you clearly are able to see the arrogance, the elitism in this.

“We’ve done the best to do the right thing for our country. We’ve kept the president’s foot to the fire. We believe the American people see what we have here.”

Harry, I’m going to just tell you, if those election results in November were as you have been telling us they are, your first resolution would have passed. If the election in November was about getting out of Iraq — and it wasn’t, Senator Reid. It was about two things: Macaca and Mark Foley, and Republicans who failed to govern as they had campaigned. You guys didn’t “win” anything. The incumbents lost. So Harry Reid has just now confirmed what I said before. It’s the president’s war; it’s the Republicans’ war. We, ladies and gentlemen, are going to have to win this war without Democrats. Frankly, as stupid as they are, that’s probably an advantage.
