A Reckoning
Methinks the Democrats will have a day of reckoning - Pelosi, Reid, Leahy, Hoyer, Emmanuel, et al. need to be removed from office before we can put this country back on track. It’s going to be a bumpy ride…
Steven D at Booman Tribune: And They Wonder Why We Don’t Like Them
I guess 9/11 changed more than we knew. Or maybe it is just highlights the fact that, despite the presence of a few principled liberals/progressives in Congress, the Democrats really are the Party of Republican Lite: All the same disdain for ordinary Americans and the groveling after corporate bribes campaign contributions, without all the nasty eliminationist rhetoric directed toward Blacks, Latinos, Gays, Muslims, abortion providers, small children receiving government health care benefits and the husband of Terry Schiavo. No bitter aftertaste, in other words, but the same damn hangover.
Maybe it’s time to check out the local Green party in your district. Because, if Hillary Clinton is elected President, which most of our elites already assume to be a “done deal,” I won’t have any viable reason to support Democrats. Ms. Clinton won’t push a progressive agenda when in office, she’ll triangulate her way around her term in that office with the advice of her family’s loyal retainers. And Congressional Democrats will just follow her lead. Maybe not as faithfully as the GOP herd followed Bush, but well enough so that we still won’t have universal health care by 2012, nor will we likely have withdrawn from Iraq.
I may not support Republicans but I sure can withhold my money, my spare time and dedicated volunteer efforts, and my votes, from Democrats. And frankly, why should we give them the time of day at this point? Not when they continue to spit in the face of their base, of which I am a proud member. At least Bush and the Republicans had the decency to smear and demean their most committed supporters in private, not in the media.
What he said… Dammit!
