GOP "Scare Tactics" Become Dem Reality

It didn't even take a week. After claiming that GOP warnings about the Dem agenda (which was well hidden during the campaign) was nothing but scare tactics, the Dems now have to face the reality of appeasing the leftists who voted for them.

Before the balloons and confetti were swept up, Dem special interests lined up demanding their pound of flesh. Here is a recut of an LA Times piece describing the cost of defeat.

Activists who helped Democrats secure Congress make clear they intend to get their reward."

• "American voters have done their job; now it's time for Congress to do theirs," said former Rep. Tom Andrews (D-Maine), national director of the antiwar group Win Without War. "The message couldn't be clearer. It's time to start the orderly withdrawal of American troops from Iraq. Our eyes are on the new Congress."
• Lobbyists for the American Civil Liberties Union, for example, are all but counting on Democrats to repeal the most controversial provisions of the Patriot Act, the anti-terrorist law pushed by the White House that some critics call unconstitutional. They also want to end President Bush's domestic wiretapping program. "We are not going to let them off the hook," said Caroline Fredrickson, the ACLU's legislative director, of the newly empowered Democratic leaders in Congress. "We will hold their feet to the fire."
• Similar vows are coming from lobbyists for abortion rights, who want to expand family-planning options for poor women and scale back Bush's focus on abstinence education..."I honestly believe there was no bigger winner in this election than Planned Parenthood Action Fund."
• gun-control advocates, who hope to revive a lapsed ban on assault weapons.
• raising the minimum wage.
• The day after the election, labor leaders declared a mandate for their causes and called on the new Congress to immediately reverse anti-union policies enacted by the Bush administration and promote affordable healthcare "for all."

Well there you go! Every moonbat/socialist/defeatist idea wrapped up in one giant NUTSHELL!

I wonder how the so-called "conservatives" who sat out this election, or said the GOP deserves to lose feel about defeat in Iraq, making U.S. citizens more vulnerable to terrorist attack, more taxpayer funding for abortion, gun control, socialized medicine and a return to union strangulation of the American economy?
