The Democrats Extremely Flexible Version Of Patriotism

From Carl Sheeler[1], a Democrat running for the Senate in Rhode Island, here’s a billboard he obviously thinks will convince liberals to vote for him in the primary:

Yes, why don’t more Democrats start calling for Bush to be impeached for listening in on the conversations of people talking to Al-Qaeda without a warrant and saying the exact same things Democrats did about Iraq’s WMDs which, for all we know, may be sitting in Syria right now[2]?

This makes lots of sense, right? After all, look how well the impeachment worked out for Republicans! Clinton left office with an approval rate of what, 65%? And in this case, Democrats want to try to impeach Bush, in essence, for defending America from terrorists in ways they perceive as being, “too aggressive.”

Sounds like a political winner to me…for the GOP. Go for it, you Dems!
