More consequences of a Democrat majority

Dick Morris, a former Clinton advisor, firmly believes that the Democrats will take majorities in both houses of Congress. He closes his column today with a thought that I find disturbing, and you probably should, too.

We needed a president who could act firmly back then, and we'll need one in the next two years. But we're not going to have one. President Bush will be dodging document requests, defending his administration's integrity and battling each day's sensational headlines supposedly uncovering scandal after scandal.

The Democrats will use their majorities to conduct a two-year campaign for the presidency. Most likely, it will work.

Like it or not, agree with it or not, we are on a war footing right now, as we have been since September 12, 2001. It is a war that was brought to us, not the other way around. The job is far from done, and the elimination of an enemy leader here or there will not be enough to end this war. Is the above really what we want? A party leading Congress not with this war in the front of their minds, but rather the 2008 Presidential election? If Democrats take majorities, we will be looking at two years of political gaming that will distract the nation from the more pressing issue at hand, which is defending against and rolling back radical Islamism. We'll see how serious Americans are about this fight tomorrow.
