John Warner Will Not Side With the Democrats On Iraq

Wow, what a great weekend. Went to Smith Mountain Lake and we just got back. I looked around and couldn't find anything that would get my dander up on the internets. Then I saw that Talk Left has a post up about Virginia's own Sen. John Warner not being the guy that saves the democrat's bacon concerning Iraq. Big Tent Democrat has it right. John Warner is not going to do anything. He keeps talking and he keeps sounding so reasonable and moderate. There are no moderates in the republican party, we have all come to that understanding.

Like everyone else in this country the dems just can't believe that there are no reasonable republicans. Remember in the run-up to the election in 2004 when all the liberals were just gushing about the possibility that John McCain would actually jump parties and become a democrat? After the way he has acted over the last three years can you even imagine this right-wing wacko as a moderate democrat? God, democrats and beltway pundits are such idiots.

John Warner is a Virginian and a republican. He can no more stop being a republican that he can stop being a Virginian. He will not undercut Bush and he won't side with the democrats. Mr. Warner is an old man and he probably won't stand for re-election next year. He will not retire and be remembered for making one of his last acts what in Virginia would be considered a betrayal of the military and a betrayal of conservatives.
