Mike, in a post at The Deep Freeze has written one of the most impassioned and best exposes of the Democratic shell game that I've seen in a long time. This should whet your appetite:

The Democrats have been playing this political game the past several years where they mask their positions and hope you can't see their real intent. They understand they cannot say they favor gay marriage, because they know that everywhere it goes up for a vote it gets overwhelmingly shot down. They know they cannot say they don't want you to own guns because they know you will not vote for them if they do. In this case, the democrats desperately want President Bush to fail in this War on Terror because they fear Bush will secure the legacy of being tough on terrorism that Clinton could not achieve at the bargaining table. Presidents that create legacies benefit their party for decades. If Republicans are perceived as being tough on terrorism, the American people will never trust the Democrats with the keys to the military.
