Big Surprise

Bill Quick didnt vote for Republicans in this election. He references a list to make his case more saleable to the rest of us ignoramuses.

However, I notice that he forgot to add that "Bush and the Republicans failed to make us safe from Bird Flu". I remember when Bill was decidedly upset at me that I wasnt upset about "Bird Flu", but that was before the streets were clogged with the rotting corpses and the nights filled with brain eating zombies left over from the last years bird flu epidemic, which struck directly after the deadly dirty bomb attack with "suitcase nukes" by al-queda dock workers in the shipyards of New Jersey who were let into the country by that judicial horses ass Harriet Miers and her "foreign looking" cohort Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.

Oh, what a fool I was not to listen...

I'm sure that the new head of the House Intelligence Committee Alcee Hastings will meet with Bills finely tuned standards of ethics and "doing whats right for America" over those scoundrel Republicans he so righteously just voted against.

Alcee Hastings, A Qualified Democrat Congressman. Qualified because hes an impeached Ex-Judge. Impeached and removed from office for corruption and bribery in 1989 and elected repeatedly to congress by the good folks from Florida since 1993. Now, Thanks to well meaning folks like Bill Quick, (who now all seem to have legislative foresight of "Mr. Magoo") Democrat congressman (Yes, thats right, impeached for bribery and corruption) ex-judge Alcee Hastings is about to decide a good portion of our legislative priority in Congress! Wheee! I feel liberated already. You see, up untill this election, Mr. Hastings hasn't been allowed near the "sharp end" of any of the machinery in Congress thanks to those "rascally Republicans" who came to power in 1994. But thanks to Bill Quick and lots of other "concerned citizens", Mr. Hastings is about to have complete unfettered access to all sorts of really fun information that I'm sure he will treat with the utmost care and concern. You can always trust an impeached ex-judge with national secrets, so long as he's not with the "danged Republicans with the funny sounding foreign last names", like "Gonzales" or "Miers" for example...

The thing is folks, he's not the one off oddball in the Democrat party. He's actually quite average, just look at their records. What they indict Republicans for doing, they wave as a badge of honor for doing themselves.

Really folks, no matter how righteously angry you are at Republicans, the answer can't be "More Democrats Please", atleast until the Democrats can see fit to join our side of the fight, that side being the American side and not the side they always seem to be on, which always seems to be on whatever side the United States is trying to defend itself against.

Saying the Democrat party is the answer to bad legislation and ethics is like saying the solution to hemmoroids is a length of barb wire. Yes, your current problem is a quite a pain, but the method you propose to cure it is of a whole scale of pain beyond even that.

I'd love it if our choices in elections were "Republicans and Right Wing Republicans", but it took nearly 60 years to just to make it "Democrats or Republicans" instead of just "Democrats and Only Slightly-Less-Left-Wing Democrats". But be warned, if we screw around here and get all filled with sanctimony, in the blink of an eye we can go back to a country that actually votes for a Congress that cuts off funding for Vietnam, takes on a foreign policy of "detante" with the worlds most evil governmental system of all time and elects someone like Carter as President.

We Republicans used to do crap like that all the time; that is until we Republicans learned not "the let the perfect be the enemy of the good", right about 1980 or so. Then we started winning elections, and changing legislation and changing direction of this country from a defeatist "has been" power that was passed its prime and instead turned it into the worlds unchallenged superpower in a little over 10 years.

In 1979, the defeat of the western world, capitalism and democracy was all but eminent and all the smart people said so too. In 1989, The Soviet Union died. It took a hack hollywood actor to remind us all of the possibilities of our future and to make us stop squabbling about "idelogical perfection" and to take "half a loaf" when you could get it.

Smart man that Reagan.

Oh, you dont think things have changed in the world since back then? Then hop into the "way back machine", set the dial for 1978. You'll come back with your hair on fire. If you still yearn for the "years of idealogical right wing purity", then cooling your heels in the "river of defeat" of world of 1978 should cure you of that fever right quick.

I just don't see how rewarding the very worst form of left wing Democrats in this election brings us one day closer to winning the war. These Democrats have done everything in their power to impede the war and this country at every step of the way so far, does it really make sense to allow them to run the government? Come on now...

Because in the end, that's the only metric that counts. You can tell me all sorts of great stories about what a dork Bush is, and you can tell me how you dont like so and so in congress, and you can tell me how you dont like this or that legislation, but you cant tell me how the Democrats are going to make it anything but worse.

You will never convince me that these Democrats will pursue the war - against Jihadists that is. Against Republicans and George W. Bush, they will chase him "...around the Horn, and around the Norway maelstrom, and around perdition's flames" before they give him up.

What they will do is hunt down the President and his party on their own little game of "payback". I'm sorry kids, but entertaining though that idea might be, I just dont think we have time for that right now. I think we'll be damn lucky to get through this war alive and our world intact. I dont think we can stop right now for a five alarm 'Three Stooges' pie fight on the floor of the House. Its a luxury we can't afford. And the Democrats will have to do it too! they dont have a choice, their constituents will demand it. They will be compelled to do it, no matter the number of real people who will be killed as a result.

Republicans legislators are dorks, but they do tend to return my calls. They don't always do the right thing, but they are unabashadely on the American side in a fight and I like that and even if it is pandering, dammit it is pandering to my side - the winning side the RIGHT side. Democrat legislators just look at people like me as a potential future source of taxation, and the 'root cause' of all that is evil in the world and they cant seem to decide what side they want to represent in a fight against the United States. Go ask a Democrat "What side are you on", and then count the answers you get back. It shouldnt be that hard of a question to answer, but you'd be surprised how that one stumps them.

Hastings, Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Kennedy, Rangel. Go ahead, give them the keys to "legislative liquor cabinet" the let them drive the "agenda corvette" into the "reality telephone pole".

That will teach the Republican kids not to drink and drive. Yeah, that'll show em...
