Polarizing Cal

Cal Thomas and Bob Beckel wrote a column plugging their book, and calling for an end to polarizing politics and a return to common ground politics. They confessed their sins, "We have done our share to fan the flames of polarization."

Now Cal is back to his old tricks. He wrote a column in which he accuses the democratic leadership of wanting to defeat republicans in the next election, even at the cost of losing a war; and of being "invested in defeat." I suppose that by not actually using the fake word "defeatocrat" (and crossing his fingers) he is staying on the straight and narrow road to common ground.

Given that the democrats have rolled over for their master george at every war funding vote opportunity, I have big doubts about the accuracy of Cal's claim about the democrats. Even so, is Cal incapable of seeing that many people oppose the war because they see how it is harming the security of this country? I guess Cal is so "invested" in the macho bullshit "'win' at all costs" mentality that he would rather see more American boys die meaninglessly than admit that we would be better off walking away from Iraq.
