Democrats Unleashed! - Bolton Nomination
Democrats play for time to block Bolton nomination
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Bush’s nomination of John R. Bolton to be U.N. ambassador has been shaken again by a Republican senator’s surprise opposition to the embattled nominee, and Democrats hope to seize the opportunity and defeat him in the Senate.
Color me surprised! The “defeaters of progress” strike again. And their reasons never cease to amuse me…
At a minimum, they will play for delay, make the White House squirm and renew accusations that Bolton was overly aggressive as the State Department’s top arms-control official, pushing his views and trying to damage the careers of officials who disagreed with him.
I think the word hypocritical might be a little to weak to use here. That sounds like the policy of the entire Democratic party!
It all comes down to this, the Democrats think the nomination is unfair because Bolton supports Bush’s views. But the Democrats don’t like him because he disagrees with their views. That is the very definition of hypocrisy. It’s all about who’s agenda will be forwarded. It’s embarassing for our country, and it is further proof that the Democrats are only in this for control and the ability to rule the country with their own opinion whatever the cost.
