Kicking Ass At The DNC
William A. Mayer: Editor & Publisher - PipeLineNews.org
For the Democrats, these are truly the worst of times.
Not in the last hundred years have forces turned against their fortunes with such single-minded fury.
Within their tomb-like headquarters at S. Capitol Street, DC, one can only guess the mood and wonder if poor Terry McAuliffe has been placed on suicide watch.
In any case, during his comings and goings, he had better steer a wide berth around Fort Marcy Park – the hand of the Clintonistas is long indeed.
Imagine how, what passes for the DNC brain-trust, must feel.
They face a popular, straight talking and respected President in a time of national crisis who has deftly used events - that might easily have broken less skillful politicians - to his and the nation’s advantage.
This week’s continued strong economic reporting - and not so coincidental 118 point rise on the DJIA - are only the latest data bits to suggest that the “you aint better off argument” will not fly, to the Democrat’s chagrin, next year.
And what are the Democrats busy doing?
Well they fancy themselves in the driver’s seat, if one is to judge by their official website.
Yes folks, believe it or not, the Democrat response to the heap of woe and misfortune that has been so indecorously dropped on their porch has been a forced and self-conscious cultivation of a ridiculous bravado unequalled since the classic Monty Python scene – The Duel in the Black Forest.
The newest feature on the DNC website is a daily blog-type running commentary called, “Kicking Ass” - the choice of words just another sorry indication of how whacked-out the hard-core Dems have become.
Now if the message board was entitled, “We’re Getting Our Asses Kicked” or possibly “We Can’t Even Find Our Asses” that might indeed reflect the true state of the party.
Anyone with half a wit knows that Howard “Dr. Death” Dean’s real function will be to serve as the official coroner of the Democrat corpus if he is nominated - and at this point that seems a foregone conclusion.
Noted Clinton insider and sometimes voice of moderation, Leon Panetta, has in the last few days signaled with alarm the disastrous effect that a Dean candidacy will have on the party – as if it shouldn’t be obvious that fielding a dope smoking, draft dodging, smug New York abortionist – with an incendiary temper - just may not resonate with the American voter.
That this critique has not already been used as justification to abandon Howie at the nearest Planned Parenthood, is just another marker on the road to oblivion for the party of Jefferson.
Yet the boys and girls who make up the Democrat foot soldiers are behaving as if its 1099 and they are members of the First Crusade – poised at the gates of Jerusalem – with the Holy Sepulcher within their grasp.
It’s an attitude that is almost frightening in its sheer disjunction from reality.
As noted here last week - when commenting on the goings on at the WashPost bbs - for whatever reason, stupidity, brain disease, ideological blindness/fervor or simple rage, these people will never get it no matter what befalls their party.
They are incapable of seeing the world as it is and will therefore continue to bleed the party until it ceases to be a major force, and that point is on the horizon.
There is a very serious reason however, why we as conservatives, should consider ourselves stakeholders – interested parties if you will – in this process.
That is aside from the sheer satisfaction of watching such sanctimonious fools go down to another bitter defeat.
The minority party - held captive by its most vehement left-leaning members actually forces the GOP in the same direction - because the center is also therefore shifted in that direction.
A more moderated Democrat party will allow conservatives to stake out positions more ideologically consistent with the needs of liberty and freedom because the center will then have been dragged back towards the right again.
Watching Dean’s children’s army heading off to a certain rude awakening, we might take a certain additional amount of comfort in the fact that not only will their upcoming defeat hopefully drive a stake through the center-mass of the leftists who have controlled the party since 1972, but it will also help realign the two party structure in general.
This gentle nudging of the GOP towards its more conservative roots will hopefully allow the dialogue on the most appropriate manner in which to dismantle the nanny state, to finally begin in earnest.
The Democrats are so obsessed with their hate of all things Bush, that it has clouded their ability to think.
You think they actually ever had that ability?
Oh, is that what did it? ;>
Is this true? I have never heard about it.
'Tis but a scratch
Maybe the little "Dean's children" could go off to the sight of his eight month skiing expedition after his draft denial!
Dean's plug will be pulled by Hillary when it is time. Isakoff leads the band (plays the skin flute).
What a lame Democrat crowd.
Kinda like the liberal media wondering why their ratings are plummeting.
The america hating leftist media can no longer spew DNC talking points with impunity.
