Back to Business: "Getting A Dem Elected"



Well, the peace was fine while it lasted.

I felt good and calmed and positive.

Actually, I still feel that way but I know it will be over soon and I am quite ready to reassume my attack mode.

After all, these republican boobs really deserve it.

Of course, when they debate they blame Congress and conveniently forget that they controlled it for most of eight years and even now can muster the votes to block the dems.

Nor do they readily admit that Bush did anything wrong while, at the same time, they try to put as much distance as possible between them.

They are all wishing that the Reagan brand will wear well on the next nominee….

Of course, don’t expect self inspection from a Repug.

None will look at Reagan’s performance and say, “Boy, did he screw up!’ Au contraire, to republicans he is the savior of the Party—the man who ended the Cold War and started the wars between the “haves” and “have-nots!”

What the heck did Reagan do to deserve such accolades?

If you check the records, not much!

So, we’ve got a field of candidates who’s idol bears no relationship to his perceived importance….

And they all want to be like him.

At the last Republican debate, where? At the Reagan library, his name was invoked 42 times….

So whoever is the candidate of the dems, we can expect to be up against McCain who is happily insulated in his Iraq War shrine mouthing incredible distortions that bear no relationship to reality.

Like Giuliani could not separate himself from 9-11, McCain considers himself the progenitor of “The Surge” as compared with a surge, uptick or what was really nothing other than trying to realize a status that virtually every single general thought was required to beat the pesky Iraqis from Day One….


Democrats will be talking about peace, about jobs, the economy, and “hope” and the republicans will be beating themselves to death trying to turn fanciful thinking into fact or hunkering down to the past to avoid the realities of the future.

Either way, they are mostly deluded.

Yet, as the polls tell us, there are situations where the conservatives will vote for McCain—holding their nose—despite the fact that everybody you speak to wants us out of Iraq.

Figure it out. It doesn’t compute.

All of this, of course, will get settled in the days and weeks ahead.

My vacation with “niceness” is over and I’m ready to resume the dirty task of getting a democrat elected.

Isn’t this fun?
