OUTRAGEOUS: Dem admits rooting for America to Loose!

You may have missed it since it wasn't exactly front page news, -- like when any Republican in Congress, even if he's only the janitor, expresses any concern about our progress in Iraq-- but a member of the Democrat House leadership, Majority Whip Jim Clyburn, actually stated that good news in Iraq is bad news for Democrats, it bares repeating.

The WashingtonPost.com ran an interview conducted by reporter Dan Balz and Chris Cillizza with Democratic Congressman James Clyburn of South Carolina, House Majority Whip.

Balz asks Clyburn:

"What do Democrats do if General Petraeus comes in in September, and says, 'This is working very, very well at this point. We would be foolish to back away from it'?"

Clyburn responds:

"Well, that would be a real big problem for us, no question about that."

NO JIM, the big problem is a member of the House leadership...forget that fact...a MEMBER OF CONGRESS who likely has constituents serving in harms way, is actually saying that their failure is what's needed to advance the Democrat Party!

This is one of the single most disturbing comments ever made. We as Republicans want our values to prevail but not at the expense of the country. There comes a time when you have to put your political party aside and think about the good of the country first. Although I think most of the Democrats are pulling for us to withdrawl I will not assume that they all want us to lose. What Mr. Clyburn said was wrong and should be addressed.
