I hope the Democrats keep running like lemmings over the cliff.
One of my favorite blogs is The Anchoress. She relates a conversation with a Democrat neighbor who is disgusted with her party's antics.
Excerpt:
| Quote: | “Oh, you said a mouthful, kid! I’m so disgusted with my party I’m thinking of sittin’ out the next election, because these people have lost any sense of what their jobs are; they seem to think they were put into office to destroy Bush, and that is all that motivates them - it’s all they can think about, and they seem to think this is what they were charged with, when we put them in office. Hello? I didn’t freaking vote for Schumer to shove his face into every camera, promote himself and play obstruction games when we have a war to fight. I did not vote for Hillary so she could sit around waiting for opinion polls to tell her what to do before she runs for president, and you know what, if she doesn’t mean to be a senator then she shouldn’t be running for the seat in ‘06! Let her step aside, and be honest for once, and start her freakin’ presidential campaign, already, and let a serious legislator run for her seat - her office is rude and unresponsive, anyway - she’s useless! At least you call Schumer’s office, they are respectful - if you look for help, they actually respond, even if they don’t do anything, they send a freakin’ letter letting you know they know you’re alive and they need your vote again. Hillary’s office? They can’t be bothered with anyone! And don’t get me started on this Patriot Act nonsense! When I saw Reid saying they killed it I flipped out! I FREAKIN’ FLIPPED OUT! FOUR YEARS and we haven’t been attacked - what are Reid or Schumer or Hillary gonna say if they let the Patriot Act die and six months from now we’re attacked? They’re gonna blame Bush? Of course, they are, but they’re gonna have a hell of a time convincing the country that Bush is responsible for an attack when THEY were the ones who dropped the Patriot Act! And this FISA baloney is just that: BALONEY! I want to know whose leaking this crap! We had a big investigation on that stupid Valerie Plame deal, and who was she - she’s a nobody at a desk at Langley - we have two freakin’ years of investigations on that stupid issue, and it’s all probably Tim Russert’s doing, anyway - end it, already - let’s investigate who’s freaking LEAKING real national secrets! Whose leaking the CIA work? Whose leaking the surveillance? That’s what we need to know! THAT’S what we should be investigating, and if we find out who did it, we arrest the scum and throw him in jail, I don’t care who he is! I read that Jonathan Alter piece and I wanted to vomit, I wanted to puke my guts up! You know why? Because I remember something that maybe Alter has forgotten, that when 9/11 happened, Bush said he’d use ‘every tool’ at his disposal, and we all applauded that! Remember? We all said, THANK FREAKIN’ GOD this man is in charge, and he clearly means this! I haven’t forgotten it. I haven’t forgotten what downtown NYC smelled like for weeks after the attack. I haven’t forgotten the big freakin’ hole in the city. I haven’t forgotten what it felt like to look at a plane taking off from the airport, and me worrying that it was going to be blown up before my eyes from some freakin’ crazed assh*le with a bomb in his shoe, or someone on the ground with a surface-to-air missile - I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN - and I’m getting damned fed up with my party leadership that seems to have forgotten, and I’ll tell you what, they had better start REMEMBERING, real soon, or they’re gonna find their asses tossed OUT, come November if they don’t get with the program! And don’t even get me started with the papers, I cancelled the freakin’ papers - I’m fed up with all of them! What do I need the papers for, so I can read how everything bad that happens in the whole world is Bush’s fault? I can predict what they’re gonna write! Now, I want news, I go look at the internet, I turn on C-span and watch things for myself! I’m an educated woman, and I can think for myself, I don’t need newspapers if they’re not gonna gimmee news!”
I kidded with her that she sounded like a Republican, and she gave me a withering look. “I’d never be a Republican, not in a million years, my side is ridiculous and blind, but your side is spineless and weak. You people were idiots to get rid of Trent Lott. I mean, his hair was obnoxious, but at least he had balls. This man, Frist, he must take his balls off when he walks into the Senate and leave them in the cloakroom next to Teddy’s flask, or somethin’, because he sure as hell doesn’t bring them into the chambers with him, and he wants to be president? Yeah, that’s gonna happen - NOT! The hell with all of them - the whole Congress is out to lunch! But I’ll tell you something, Joe Lieberman should run for president, because I would vote for him. I won’t vote for Feingold, I won’t vote for the rest of these p**zes. But I’ll vote for him, because he seems to have his head on straight, and he has enough balls to talk straight.” |
