The pre-mortems have already been written, but here's a new one offered up by some in Massachusetts, including Rep Patrick Kennedy: it's George Bush's fault. Yep. Seems he created so many problems that it will take longer to fix them than people have patience for. According to one 70-year-old Bay Stater: "the problems came from the previous administration. So we're blaming poor Obama, who's working 36 hours a day to solve these problems that he inherited." Young Kennedy offers up "One thing the Democrats have done wrong? We haven't kept the focus on this disaster on the Republicans who brought it upon us. We've tried too hard to do that right thing, and that's to fix it, as opposed to spend more of our time and energy pointing the finger at who got us [here] in the first place."
Oh those noble Democrats!
In another attempt to blame everything on Bush and the Republicans, your very own Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said THIS about Ted Kennedy's Senate seat:
ReplyDelete“Why would you hand the keys to the car back to the same guys whose policies drove the economy into the ditch and then walked away from the scene of the accident?”
How 'bout that? Maybe it's just that they have forgotten that St Edward of Chappaquidick killed Mary Jo when he drove her into a pond and walked away from the scene of the accident.
36 hours a day? Yeah, that sounds like liberal math to me.
ReplyDeleteGentlemen (und Damen), this is a day for prayer and quiet reflection. The fate of the Republic hangs in the balance, and I don't that's an exaggeration. Our country has been taken over by radicals determined to change the balance of power from the people to the government. Maybe this Mass election can change that, maybe it can't. But it's a start and let's just hope and pray it happens.
ReplyDeleteWe cannot and will not survive as a highly centralized welfare state. The first rule of good government is no higher government should do anything a lower government is capable of doing. End of story. These guys have it bass ackwards and if they get their way I think it will eventually destroy us.
