In the wake of the Wisconsin Recall I’m just amazed at the hackery from the Left…but only because its their turn to be hacks.
I’m all for playing politics, but I just HATE Partisan politics. The GOP Presidential primary was a prime example. Seriously, a threw up in my mouth every time people called Mitt Romney a “Conservative”, or Compared Newt Gingrich to Ronald Reagan. Let’s face it, those guys are RINOS, and you voted for the “R” after their name. You’re an idiot!
Now people are talking about “Buying Elections” because Scott Walker raised a lot of funds. But they’re ignoring that Obama raised shit-tons of money with his boyish charm and Marxist Revolutionary Ideals in the 2008 election. Nor do they seem to notice that no matter how much money ANYBODY spends, it doesn’t seem to sway their vote. Hell I voted for Ron Paul in the Mass Primary, and fully plan to vote for Gary Johnson in the general election, and both of those guys are dead-broke.
Also it seems that the bloggers who bitch the most about “buying elections” are most often the people who were expressing the ideals and joys of Dennis Kucinich in 2007 (while attacking Obama and Clinton for their “Right-Wing Warmongering”). If elections can be bought, how’d you manage to overlook the rich guy and vote for the political pauper?
Meanwhile I donated for the first (and likely last) time in the Scott Brown Senate race…and then I voted where I sent my money. Funny how that works. People who raise a lot of money have a lot of support.
Also I’m sick of people on one side bitching about how “Radical” the other side has become. Look, we don’t want RINOs on our side, and the leftis don’t want Blue dogs on theirs. Bitching about “Radicals” isn’t about ideals or getting along, they just want an ideal world where if they lose a seat to the other party, at least that person will still vote with them.
And these same Kucinich types will be caught bitching about “Reich-Wing Terror” or such hardcore conservatives like Scott Brown, Olympia Snow, and Susan Collins.
And its not like any GOP-types gave Al Gore a second look when he tied Joe Liberman to his ticket. Or Right-Wing-Hacks didn’t express the shame when moderate Bill Richardson got thrown out of office.
Just fight for your own side, and let the other side do what they will!
