With
the elections now less than a month away, the democrats appear to be
in a state of turmoil. The democrats don’t make a political move
until after DNC Chief Terry McAuliffe has taken a poll to find out
where the public wants them to stand on an issue. However, of late,
those same polls are killing them and have them running around like
a flock of beheaded poultry. In an off year election, what should be
an easy victory for the dems, is turning out instead to be what may
end up costing the dems their majority position in the Senate.
Over
the last year, pretty much anything that could go wrong for the dems,
has. Despite their efforts, President Bush is still holding around a
seventy percent approval rating. Everything they have tried seems to
have backfired in some way. In short, the outlook for the democrats
in November just doesn’t look good.
Everyone
seems to like top 10 lists, popularized by David Letterman, so I
thought there should be a top 10 list of democratic disasters that
have occurred in the last year or so, that will inevitably cost them
votes next month. When I started thinking about this, it became
increasingly difficult to narrow the field down to just 10 things.
Their fiascos and faux pas’ have been many, and some very
prominent blunders, which would normally be devastating, don’t
even make the list. Things such as Terry McAuliffe’s Global
Crossing connections or the Senate voting against drilling in ANWR.
Hillary being booed off the stage by New York firemen and policemen.
Babs Streisand making fictitious Shakespeare quotes. A member of the
Kennedy family being charged with murder. California democrat Gary
Condit being linked to the murder of Chandra Levy. In a normal year,
these things would be campaign targets, but this year, they are
little more than fodder in democratic implosion.
10).
Making the list at number 10 is the Waco marauder, Janet Reno. She
has taken a lesson from the Al Gore book of sore losers by refusing
to believe American’s do not want her in office. She has displayed
a prime example to American voters of democratic arrogance in taking
the "I didn’t win so someone must have cheated"
approach. American’s just don’t like a sore loser.
9).
Bill Clinton. You would think he would rate higher on the list, but
there’s just too much other stuff to keep old Bill at the back of
the list. The majority of American’s, the ones who can think, have
realized the condition of the economy is not the fault of George W.
Bush, but falls more on the shoulders of Bill Clinton. Every
corporate corruption scandal has shown to have begun while Bill was
still in charge. Couple that with the news that the former President
passed on three chances to have Osama bin Laden handed over to the
U.S., and you have a lot of American voters realizing the true
Clinton legacy.
8).
Robert Byrd (D-WV). Labeled by Citizens Against Government Waste as
this years "Porker of the Year" places Byrd on the list.
And his ranting on the Senate floor has appeared sophomoric and in
desperate need of acting lessons. American’s are growing weary of
tax and spend democrats.
7).
Al Gore. The last year has seen the former vice-president make a
fool of himself on numerous occasions, but his latest tirade
speaking out against ousting Saddam Hussein will be fresh on the
minds of voters on November 5th. It also served to send
the democratic leaders scurrying about like a covey of quail, not
knowing which way to turn, and breaking old time loyalties.
6).
Cynthia McKinney (D-GA). The mouth of the south fell out of favor
with Georgians when she asked, "What did Bush know and when did
he know it?" implying some great conspiracy within the White
House and September 11th. We Americans may be gullible at
times, but if you are going to make outrageous accusations like
that, you had better be able to back it up with some proof. She
thought it okay that she received campaign contributions from people
with known ties to terrorist organizations while her opponent
actually received contributions from "republicans!"
McKinney is also using the "refuse to lose" Gore strategy
by threatening to sue to have the republican crossover votes that
ousted her in the primaries, nullified.
5).
Robert Torricelli (D-NJ). This has been a really bad year for the
Torch. How dare the pollsters of New Jersey hold him accountable for
taking a few measly little payoffs? That’s the way democratic
politics have gone on in New Jersey for years! Unfortunately, for
the Torch, the voters of New Jersey are growing tired of it. On top
of that, no one likes the kid who says, "If I can’t win, I
don’t want to play anymore."
4).
New Jersey Supreme Court. In connection with the Torricelli fiasco,
the New Jersey Supreme Court has further alienated voters by saying,
"We’re not going to let some stupid law stand in the way of what we
want!" Americans are well aware that most laws are there for a
reason. If citizens are obliged to obey the law, so must those who
make those laws.
3).
9th Circuit Court. Americans were outraged by the June 26th
decision by this court proclaiming the words "under God"
in the Pledge of Allegiance as unconstitutional. Many democratic
American voters will be remembering that ruling when they cast their
ballots.
2).
Jim McDermott (D-WA) and David Bonior (D-MI). This tag team comes in
at number 2 on the list. One hundred years ago, these two would have
been convicted of treason and executed. I hope every American had
the opportunity to see this duo standing on the streets of Baghdad
proclaiming, "I think the president would mislead the American
people in an effort to provoke a war." Reasonable Americans
know why we attacked Afghanistan. Because the Taliban government was
hosting and protecting al-Qaida. The situation is Iraq is no
different. McDermott and Bonior are apologists for Iraq. Iraq is
allied with al-Qaida. What does that make McDermott and Bonior to
the American people? We will get the answer to that question in
November.
1).
Tom Daschle (D-SD). Topping the list of democratic disasters in none
other than Senate Majority Leader Tommy Daschle, and his disastrous
accomplishments are monumental. Daschle has successfully blocked
three outstanding judicial nominees. He is currently sitting on 27
bills that have passed the House and are waiting debate on the
Senate. Americans are tired of being held hostage in the name of
furthering the democratic agenda. Most Americans were smarting
enough to see through the accusations by little Tommy on the Senate
floor when he went off on the president "politicizing" the
Iraq issue. Has there ever been an issue that Puff Daschle did not
politicize? What’s worse, Daschle was responding to remarks the
President had made, not about Iraq, but rather about Homeland
Defense. His display of righteous indignation did nothing to win him
favor.
Many
Americans still recall Daschle’s 1997 remarks that "Americans
are not paying too much in taxes." Daschle further caused havoc
for the democrats when he attempted to sneak through what would
allow his state of South Dakota the opportunity to clear underbrush
from it’s forest areas while holding all other states to stricter
standards. My first inclination is to say, "Shame on you, Mr.
Daschle, for being an underhanded and manipulative person", but
on second thought, all I can say is, "thank you, Mr. Daschle,
for showing Americans exactly how your party operates."
The
way things have been going for the democrats, this list may change
between now and November 5th. Mistakes seem to be
following them around these days. According to virtually every poll
taken, the democrats stand to loose a lot. One thing we can count
on, if and when they do lose, the will demand recounts. They make
false claims and accusations. They will scream that they were
somehow mistreated. They will go down kicking and screaming. Perhaps
this will be the year that America will begin down the road of
recovery. Perhaps because of these and countless other democratic
disasters, we will begin to restore what this great nation was
founded on. One can only hope,…… and pray.
