Useful Fools

Yesterday, after negotiations produced a plan acceptable to enough Republicans and Democrats, congress-critters gave press conferences. The Republicans were warmly bi-partisan. The Democrats, when handing out plaudits all around, managed not to give any to Republicans.

This was a sign of things to come.

Remember, the Democrats can pass this bill with ZERO Republican votes - they are in the majority. But they need Republican votes to provide an appearance of bipartisanship - political cover for an unpopular plan.

Republicans went to the floor of the house ready with enough votes to provide the necessary cover. Before the vote, Pelosi just couldn’t resist a vicious partisan attack on Republicans.

Guess what… some of the Republican votes evaporated. The vote failed. The Democrats, who had just attacked the Republicans, did not have the political courage to produce a few more votes for the proposition in order for it to pass.

Once again, vile partisanship by the Democrats is the order of the day.

I doubt it, but check out what former spook “In From The Cold” has to say.

Over a decade ago, this site first reported on the discover of Cognitive Disorder of Progressives (PCD), a psychiatric illness which has since rapidly grown in frequency and intensity.

Today, a variant of the disorder, Climate Change Delusion was reported in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry.

This represents the second new subtype of PCD, in addition to Bush Derangement Syndrome.

Yawn. So Biden is the VP candidate select.

Yaaawwwwn…… and everyone is writing about it

Not me.

Yawn

The Democrats have no shame. None.

Somebody hacked Sarah Palin’s email and put her messages on the web. That’s a despicable crime, but not the real issue.

The Democrat talking heads immediately started implying these messages meant Sarah Palin had done something wrong.

What? Oh…. she did state business on the account, where it couldn’t be subpoenaed [a lie, btw - of course they can be subpoenaed].

They shouldn’t be using these messages at all! They claim to deplore how they were obtained. Yeah. And then they immediately use them to attack Palin. That’s really deploring the crime isn’t it! If the messages had been on paper, these stooges could be convicted for receiving stolen property. They have no shame!

And then the message in question… oohhh - she may have done state business on her private account. The evidence? Sshe and the Lt. Gov commiserated about press scrutiny. That’s state business? But these talking heads say… well, there might be something more (wink, wink).

Talk about dirty politics! This is the lowest of the low.

This is gutter politics, which is where these people seem to live.

This is Obama’s new politics. Thanks, but no thanks!

The McCain campaign has done well using humor against the Obama campaign.

Lately, they’ve sounded a bit grumpy. Complaining about the Sarah Palin skit on SNL?

Bad move.

Complaining about the “lipstick on a pig” comment?

What a missed opportunity! There’s a dozen ways they could have turned that on the Democrats’ own sensitivity industry, but instead, they complained!.

The elite left cannot stand to be teased, and the McCain campaign has put them off balance with quick, funny jabs.

Now McCain and Palin need to stick with the humor - it wins. Avoid the gripes, the sensitivity - it’s just playing the Democrats’ game.

Get back on the laugh track, McCain and Palin!

Let’s do it! Send lipstick to Obama.

He can put it on, but he’ll still be a lout.

So here we are, in Juneau, the city where Sarah Palin lives as governor of the state. What timing! Except, of course, all the politicos are out of town. I guess I can’t write this trip off my taxes as a blogging expense

Let us hope the pregnancy of the Governor’s unwed daughter doesn’t undo the positive side of McCain’s pick. Sarah Palin is a candidate with great potential - reaching out to those small town Americans “clinging to their guns” (in her case, a Moose hunting rifle) and their religion. An outdoors person, a hunter, a small town beauty queen and mayor, governor of a frontier state, an evangelical who walks the walk. a government reformer. Wow!

As other have commented, let’s see how Democrats respect the privacy of the womb (their excuse for abortion).
