CNN held a Democratic Presidential debate in Las Vegas Thursday evening with all seven clowns attending. All of these debates of either party have been useless so far. Too many candidates that have no chance of winning and largely irrelevant questions are the norm. Wolf Blitzer and company didn't disappoint on that front. Each candidate provided their own examples of dangerous and misguided policies to endanger our republic.

Front-runner Billary Clinton danced through the minefield and avoided the mistakes of her last performance. She accused her opponents of "slinging mud". Imagine that, in a political campaign. She shares the same flawed view of Iraq as her fellow contenders. Her most befuddling answer of the evening somehow made a connection between the dissipation of the federal budget surplus (so graciously left by Slick Willie) and spending on the Iraq front. Does she not consider war as a result of unprovoked attacks on America legitimate spending? Billary has developed a standard weave: play the victim when attacked and present a facade of inevitability. So far her opponents are allowing her to do it successfully.

Senator Hussein "Emptysuit" Obama took every chance to press Billary on the issues, mostly without result except pathetic boos from the crowd, as if to doing so is a violation of the rules of chivalry. He made a puzzling connection of his own, linking Iraq spending to (get this) Social Security. He drew a few more boos for comparing Billary's tactics to Mitt Romney and Rudy Guliani, fightin' words in a Democrap debate. Hussein actually had the audacity to invoke the tradition of bipartisan unanimity on foreign policy. Odd, since he and his party have spent the last six years doing all they can to make a mockery of those words. Senator Emptysuit should educate the rest of his defeatist party about that idea.

Little Lord Fauntleroy John Edwards has locked on to the phrase "Bush, Cheney, and the neocons", and he used it like a mantra. Exactly who are "the neocons"? Whoever they are, they are responsible for the bulk of evil present in the world. After a gentleman named "Khalid Khan" stood up to complain about "profiling" at airports, Senator Fauntleroy went on a rant about "restoring respect" that spelled out how to lose the war. Edwards is another liberal dreamer who thinks he can make things better by being nice to people, a naive and dangerous notion. He should have told Mr. Khan that we were in fact NOT attacked by Finnish Baptists on 9/11, we were attacked by nineteen ARAB MUSLIM men.

New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, the most experienced executive of the bunch, has gone way too far in pandering to the far left of his party. He made the most shocking declaration by declaring human rights more important than national security, evoking flashes of Peanut Man Carter. Nothing could be more important to an American President than our national security. It is the definition of the job. Governor Richardson should look into the Presidential oath of office. He did, however, manage to work "Haliburton" into his evening, always a hit with the peaceniks. Nice try, Bill, but pandering alone won't get it done.

Senator Chris Dodd clearly demonstrated liberal thinking on judicial appointments. He claims he would have absolutely no "litmus tests". He also claims his appointments would all support Roe v. Wade. Well, Senator, that would be litmus test. Dodd also tried a little pandering himself by speaking Spanish in response to a question from the audience. Big whoop.

Senator Joe Biden was his usual curmudgeonly self. Biden apparently believes he can gain ground by repeatedly pointing out his experience. Of course, it's been wholly legislative and completely liberal. He even claimed he spoke to Musharraf about the situation in Pakistan before Bush did, a dubious statement at best. If he did, he is practicing diplomacy as a private citizen regardless of his Senate role. Senator Biden also sees a constitutional right to "privacy" in Section 5 of the 14th Ammendment, a bizzare translation of the text.

Crazy Dennis Kucinich provided his customary buffet of looney left drivel. He continued his one man crusade to impeach Bush and Cheney. He insisted the troop surge in Iraq is "fueling" the insurgency, but provided no evidence or rationale. That's because there isn't any. Kucinich's most dangerous idea was his complete rejection of preemption. That means an America under his administration would NOT respond to imminent attack. File that along with his ten thousand other insane notions.

A special SHUT UP HIPPY goes to the alleged Iraq war vet who stood up with his mommy to question the candidates about Iran. "Bring the troops home" was his catch phrase. Assuming he really is what he claims to be, he should be well aware that this war has a huge propaganda element to which he made a significant contribution. Way to help out your comrades still on the ground. For selfishly forgettting your buddies in time of war, SHUT UP HIPPY.

The Dems are making mountains out of the minor differences between them. They all support massive tax hikes to fund a major expansion in the size and scope of government. They all see government as the solution to every problem. They all claim they will "end the war", as if Al Qaida will just pack up and go home to become solid citizens if we withdraw. They all support varying degrees of amnesty for illegal aliens. They all support an American foreign policy based on weakness and vaccilation, and that's the most dangerous of all. None of them should be trusted with leading our nation.
