Democrats: On the Wrong Side of History - Again

This article from the Wasthington Times (Centrist Democrats hit anti-Bush tactics) has some great points about how the Dems have overplayed their hand regarding the "Bush Spied" story. I think their main problem is that they really don't understand that most people are not political. Most people don't have an agenda of destroying the President, especially during a time of war. The Left's hatred for President Bush has blinded them to the political reality that Americans expect their government to "provide for the common defense" (I think I've read that somewhere).

My wife is not someone that most people would call political. She is aware of issues and has opinions on them, but she doesn't care about who wins or loses. She just wants our government to do what it is supposed to do. So, it was interesting for me to hear her response when I first told her about the scandal surrounding the President and his completely legal spying - "And that's a bad thing because?". It was apparent to her that what George Bush did was the right thing. Most people think this way and the Dems are, once again, on the wrong side of the issue.
