| Gore & Daschle Attack |
| 2002-12-07 |
| Excertps from a post at http://brain-terminal.com/articles/politics/self-destruction.html: In the wake of their party's defeat at the voting booth, the great mental meltdown of the Democratic titans continues. Instead of sounding like statesmen, Democratic leaders like outgoing Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and former Vice President Al Gore have been frantically trying to assign blame to anything and everything except the possibility that voters put more trust in Republicans to keep our nation secure. The paranoid tone of their recent statements left media veterans--even those at outlets inclined to be supportive of Democrats--scratching their heads. Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post wondered, "Has Tom Daschle lost a couple of screws?" And in characterizing Gore's rant, Kurtz wrote, "you could depict this as a profile in courage. Or a profile in self-destructiveness." One could easily interpret the statements of Gore and Daschle as the isolated bitching of a bitter pair. But to do that would miss the larger point: the tenor of political debate has deteriorated to such an appalling degree that name-calling has replaced genuine policy discussion. For example, if you don't share Tom Daschle's view of the media, you're a right-wing nut. If you characterize his blocking of legislation as obstructionist, Daschle will compare you to a mullah stirring the passions of terrorists. And Gore believes it is so unthinkable for the media to present conservative viewpoints that it must really be part of some grand conspiracy secretly funded by evil fascist billionaire capitalist pigs whose wallets are made out of people who died because they couldn't find affordable prescription drugs. Although as a conservative I tend not to hope for too much Democratic success, an irrelevant Democratic party serves neither the long-term interests of the Republicans or the nation. Political competition is a good thing, and without the Democrats keeping the Republicans on their toes, it is conceivable that the Republicans could become as tired and bereft of ideas as the Democrats are today. Unchecked power is never a good thing. In the meantime, though, I'll admit that watching people like Gore and Daschle disintegrate publicly is rather entertaining. |

| #2 The GOP has no room for excuses this time....lets see how trickle-down/Reaganomics screws the economy and federal deficit this time.!? Personally, I'll benefit a great deal from these "billionaire-fascists" in power, however, I dread the effects on less fortunate Americans.=O( For the record, Bush is very much like an 8 year old retarded kid with a potato gun....the world excuses his stupidity only because his Daddy has money and he is a "special" boy. "If you want to live like a Republican, vote Democrat." The next couple can only reaffirm this truth. |
