About a week ago in Phoenix, a freak accident occurred that shocked the state of Arizona and people all over the country. Two news helicopters collided in midair while following an ongoing car chase through Central Phoenix, about two blocks from my apartment. I didn't hear a sound, but saw the breaking news shortly after it happened. The thief that caused the whole debacle was a 23 year-old man who, when asked by a reporter why he had run from the cops, brilliantly answered, "Because I saw your momma".

Five days later in Minneapolis, another tragedy struck the nation as the I-35W bridge crossing the mighty Mississippi collapsed abruptly as citizens headed home from work. The bridge was frequented to the tune of about 140,000 vehicles per day, but was only about 40 years old. So what would cause a structure of this nature to simply cave in all of a sudden? Well, as we have seen so often over the past 6 1/2 years, the first target is none other than President George W. Bush. I caught myself thinking that somehow the crazy left would find a way to "blame Bush" for this tragedy as I watched my television shortly after the disaster. To be honest, I was not surprised to see the Dems immediately find a way to steer the blame toward the president.

According to Reuters, Rep. James Oberstar, the Minnesota Democrat who chairs the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, blamed Bush's administration for shortchanging road and bridge repair in a highway funding bill two years ago. Bush, he said, "failed to support a robust investment in surface transportation." It didn't take long for Majority Leader Reid to chime in, saying, "Since 9/11, we have taken our eye off the ball" and suggesting that Bush has been too distracted by the Iraq war and post-Sept. 11 national security needs to focus on the country’s water, sewer and transportation infrastructure.

This is so typical, yet equally as disgusting as the garbage that has been spewed from the mouths of these liberals for decades now. It will be amazing to me if the American people elect a Democratic president in 2008. The mistake was made in '06, but I think people are beginning to realize that the Democrats really don't stand for anything, they simply oppose the Bush adminsitration. Well, I guess that policy did work in 2006 and Bush's approval rating is still at about 36%, about the same as election time. Unfortunately for the Democratic controlled Congress, their approval rating is at a paltry 14%. The American people are beginning to see the light.
