Sen. Charles Schumer of New York, in a letter to Rove co-signed by Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Democratic senators from Connecticut and New Jersey, called the presidential adviser's speech "a slap in the face to the unity that America achieved after September 11, 2001."

This is the kind of dishonest pandering nonsense from the Dems that drives me nuts. You have Ted Kennedy calling Iraq a quagmire, asking Rumsfeld if he will resign, pretty please. You have Jimmy Carter calling the war immoral and illegal. The Democratically driven non-issues of Abu Ghraib and Gitmo. Dick Durbin with his Nazi references. Howard Dean and his vacuous hysterics. The Downing Street Memo Circus. All fine, fine examples of useful contributions to American unity. The Forces of Disunity complaining about a lack of unity!
What a laugh! What a farce!
What this says to me is that the Dems STILL have no answers - zero. No interesting solutions to world events, no creative thinking. All they seem to offer is the same mindless, Pavlovian counter-criticism to whatever the Repubs say or do. Not one original thought out of the lot of them. Karl Rove is simply toying with the Democratic party by eliciting just the type of thoughtless, hypocritical responses such as those from Clinton and Shumer. It keeps the Dems from thinking, keeps them on the defensive, keeps them in an intellectual limbo, and ultimately, keeps them out of power. They are stuck in a self-defeating loop.
