Democrats can't even keep a lie straight!

Taken from the New York Times

Yesterday’s elections reshaped the political landscape in Washington, putting Democrats in control of the House for the first time in 12 years, and bringing them within reach of retaking the Senate. The capital has been a one-party Republican town for nearly the entire six years of the Bush presidency, but Mr. Bush signaled today that he would attempt a return to his roots as a Texas governor who had a reputation for crossing party lines and who ran for president in 2000 as a “uniter, not a divider.”

After spending weeks questioning Democratic approaches to the economy and national security as dangerous for the nation, Mr. Bush said he intended to ”work with the new Congress in a bipartisan way.” He invited leading Democrats to meet with him at the White House beginning Thursday. Representative Nancy Pelosi, the California Democrat who is expected to become the first female speaker of the House, said Mr. Bush had invited her to lunch, calling her “madam speaker-elect.”


Now pay attention boys and girls,

In the Capitol, Ms. Pelosi vowed to use the first 100 hours of the new Congress to push through what Democrats dubbed their “six for ’06” agenda, including votes to raise the minimum wage, repeal incentives for companies to send jobs overseas, cut interest rates on student loans and give the government authority to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies for lower prescription drug prices.

But Democrats made clear that their first order of business, even before taking over in January, is pressing the Bush White House to change course in Iraq.

There it is! Instead of Pelosi's tongue in cheek schedule geared at helping us, the American populace from our so called hardships. she and her cohorts are really planning to address Iraq first. Which means the terrorists have a new ally. America you haven't seen hardship yet. Grow eyes in the back of your heads and start praying for our children even more than ever. Times are gonna get hard in the next two years.
