Mixed Emotions

I am mad as HECK at the Republicans. The way they just let Foley slide until it was made public makes me sick. I'm also mad at the Republicans for a bunch of other stuff (like passing tax cuts and a line-item veto when Clinton was President, but being unable to make tax cuts permanent for President Bush or give him a scaled-down line-item veto that would be constitutional, and their excessive spending, and their inability to pass a simple bill that let's people shop for health care in all 50 states, and the earmarking, and all the other CRAP - pardon my language).

I do NOT want to hear about Democrats that did similar things. I don't CARE. That someone else is a bigger slimeball doesn't make your case better.

I do NOT want to hear some bozo try to explain that "how old are you now" and "can I get an email pic" is not red flag material. I don't care that the IMs had the worst of it, the emails that they knew about should have spurred them to do SOMETHING.

I don't care that the kid was of age of consent in D.C., this is the guy he works for.

I want the Republicans to fall, and fall hard, and realize that they can't act this way and expect our support.

On the other hand...

The Democrats WILL cut and run from Iraq, embolden the terrorists, go back to treating terrorism like it's a law-enforcement issue (yeah, like liberals and law-enforcement go together), and in general emasculate our national security and place their faith into the socialist dictators at the UN. Plus they'll raise our taxes.

I am not happy with my choices. Of course I live in one of the safest blue Conrgessional districts anyway, gerrymandered for someone's continued pension.

I'm in a bad mood about this today, does it show?

What a load of sanctimonious bullshit. Who gives a flying fuck about anything they do besides how they govern. You want style too? Get a grip and understand that democracy is effective, yes, but pretty, no.

You want pretty, get a monarch.

Charles,

I am just as disgusted as you are. But you need to stop looking at this in a vacuum.

What was the #1 priority of this congress over the past 6 years? Security, War.

They've come through.

Conservatives criticize Arlen Specter, but he got to SCOTUS judges shepharded through.

And don't forget that it's always easier to do things with someone who will compromise (clinton) with those who will not (Democrats in congress).

After 6pm today, go to Rush's website, use the login and password I gave you and listen to his program.

You will feel much better, plus he had a surprise call from Dennis Hastert.

Your depression is a result of the drive by media. I remember feeling the same way for the month before the 2004 election. They throw everything and the kitchen sink out at Republicans all month. The point IS to suppress conservative turn out. Don't let them succeed.

To those new to the blog, don't mind paul. He's not actually commenting on the post, he engages in conversations with imaginary friends, and for whatever reason he posts random snippets of those dicursive ramblings as blog comments.
