CAN DEMOCRATS STOOP ANY LOWER?

I invite everyone's attention to the following article (no really, click it - you're gonna love this one!)

Latest Outrage

Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor Catherine Baker Knoll decided to "invite" herself to the funeral of Marine Corps Staff Seargeant Joseph Goodwin, 32 - who was killed in Iraq.

Sgt Goodrich's sister-in-law, Rhonda Goodrich says that he died "courageously in Iraq on July 10th - serving his country".

But the Lieutenant Governor, Catherine Baker Knoll decided to turn this hero's funeral into a political event by attending uninvited and passing out her business cards there. She is also said to have told some of the attendees that "our government is against the war". I guess the obvious interpretation there is that the Lieutenant Governor is speaking for the state of Pennsylvania and claiming that the state DOES NOT support the war.

Really?

So far, Catherine Baker Knoll has not apologized for her inappropriate conduct. Nor has she released any comment on it.

But the Governor of Pennsylvania - DEMOCRAT - Ed Rendell has tried to explain away the affair by stating "It's not the business of state government to support the war, but our state supports the men and women who are fighting this war" .

"It's not the business of the state government to support the war."

Oh really?

Does this mean that it IS the business of state government to OPPOSE it?

Folks, let's put an end to this myth that the liberal Democrats support the troops. Let's be honest here. They don't support the troops. The only time they "support" troops is when they can use their deaths to grind an axe against George W. Bush.

Teddy Kennedy claims to "support" the troops - but he's never even visited Iraq to see the troops nor ask the troops what their opinion of it is. If he did - he'd find that 70% of them, according to the latest Army Times poll - support the war effort. He would find that, according to that same poll, 70% of them also said they would vote for George Bush in the last election. Things are tough in Iraq, it's not sunshine and roses - but the troops over there believe that they are doing a good thing and want to see it through.

You get plenty of Rosie O'Donnel's opinion of the war on CNN. However, the opinion THAT COUNTS - namely the grunt on the ground in Iraq - goes unreported. Why? Because their opinon widely differs from Rosie's and the rest of the liberals - that's why.

But I digress here.

The point is here - the DEMOCRATIC leadership of the state of Pennsylvania has no right to make a political spectical out of a Marine's funeral. And to do so uninvited is even more agregious. The governor says that both he and the Lt. Gov will send letters of apology to the family. If I were the family, I'd call a news conference when I received those apology letters and allow the news media to film me BURNING THEM.
