A Monday irony

At the risk of incurring the wrath of a certain blogger for impersonating another blogger’s method, I found this article by Jeff Dobbs at the American Thinker blog quite funny and ironic. But I continue.

Dobbs makes a great point about the Democrat Party. And before you on that side piss and moan about my leaving off the “-ic”, bear in mind that it’s a distinct possibility that the majority of voters in the party’s primaries may not get the nominee for whom they voted. (And don’t even go there about the 2000 election since those rules were set centuries before the game.) Besides, we don’t live in a democracy, we live in a Constitutionally-mandated representative republic. In fact, it’s even more of a democracy than the Founders intended since the passage of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913.

All I have to say is that I’m enjoying the bloodletting on that side because it gives John McCain plenty of ammo to fire at them during the general election campaign. Of course, that also depends on whether he has the cajones to do it, and I’m sort of afraid that he won’t. Pretty sad for a guy who gutted out a number of years in captivity.

But even if he doesn’t, something tells me that this will be among the dirtiest campaigns in memory because the Democrats are absolutely desperate to get back in the White House and redo the damage they created in the 1990’s. With the exception of John McCain not being an incumbent, this election reminds me a little bit of the 1992 election because there’s even a couple of people out there who could play Ross Perot if they desired. (Perot did get into the race a little earlier in the process, though, announcing in February of 1992.) In the end though you have a moderate Republican against a Clinton.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

One thought on “A Monday irony”

  1. First of all, your justification for using “Democrat” Party makes no sense. In case you didn’t know, we also don’t live in a “Bull Moose,” yet there was a Bull Moose Party. And there was a Know-Nothing Party, which sounds a lot like the modern Republic Party. What? No WMD’s? Well, we know nothing about that! In all seriousness, you cannot possibly be trying to justify or ignore the dirty tactics that the Republicans have used against Democrats (note the proper grammar)and even against each other! Let’s use your guy McCain as an example. REPUBLICANS were responsible for spreading the lie in South Carolina that McCain had fathered a black baby (oooohhhhh) out of wedlock! Republicans! Not some Deomcrats. I’m not saying the Democrats are innocent here at all, I’m just pointing out that BOTH parties have used awful tactics to try to besmirch their opponents. Of course, nobody has approached the level of dirty tricks of the 1828 campaigns, so maybe we should just chill out about it and not view dirty politics as a sign of the decay of civilization.
