Democrats, Give Me a Break #1 & #2
Give Me a Break #1 - Bush blamed for Max Cleland's depression.
Former Sen. Max Cleland, who has battled bouts of depression since losing an arm and both legs in Vietnam, is being treated for post-traumatic stress disorder. Cleland, who represented Georgia in the Senate from 1997 to 2003, said he believes the condition...was in part triggered by the ongoing violence in Iraq....A former VA administrator under President Jimmy Carter, Cleland...is a vocal critic of the Iraq war and is traveling the country to help Democrats campaign for office.
If I had a brain like Max Cleland's, I would be depressed, too. Georgia voters kicked him out of the Senate because his votes went to help the Democratic Party and not the people of Georgia--and, he's still in denial. Now, he drums up this phony issue for helping Democrats.
Give Me a Break #2 - Sen. Kerry and Al Gore Should Swap 'War" Stories
Sen. John Kerry didn't contest the results at the time, but now that he's considering another run for the White House, he's alleging election improprieties by the Ohio Republican who oversaw the deciding vote in 2004. ...He used the power of his state office to try to intimidate Ohioans and suppress the Democratic vote," said Kerry's e-mail.
You lost. Get over it.
What's sad are the idiots who fall for these claims.

While I sympathize with Max Cleland's suffering from PTSD his public statment linking his disorder to the Iraqi war evokes disgust. How dare he manipulate his illness to advance his political agenda.
Meanwhile, Mr. Kerry here continues to demonstrate his utter unfitness for the Presidency coupled with flagrent opportunism (nothing new for him, I'm afraid).
It bodes ill when Democratic leaders (is that becoming an oxymoron?) are consumed by the culture of victimization, responsibility-shifting, and just plain whining. Grow up folks!
