The Chutzpah of Republicans |
|
The Party of Arnold Schwarzenegger and George W Bush ridicule the 9 Democratic candidates as incompetent and lacking in the skills to run this nation. Granted, our Party ridicules most Republicans as "stupid" when we run against them head up. But, in my opinion, it has become a reflexive synonym because we have come to understand how the Repubs always attempt to tear down the Democratic candidate with ridicule or character assassination.
The Repubs thought Harry Truman was a stupid country bumpkin. When Eisenhower was elected in 1952, many Democrats transposed the same charge upon Ike. He was not the sharpest knife in the drawer. From my perspective, this game has been going on ever since.
But to hear the Repub talking heads ridicule the Democratic candidates as somehow not up to doing the job that George W Bush is attemting to do is nothing short of laughable. If we only had a candidate that could jut out his chin, with that smirk on his face, and imitate George W Bush saying, "we got 'em on the run", it would be devastating for the character presently in the White House.
The truth of the matter is that every Democratic candidate would be head and shoulders above the likes of Dubya Bush or Arnold Schwarzenegger, although Arnold is not a presidential candidate. Dennis Kucinich and Al Sharpton would be superior in every way to those two Republican politicians. Most of the Democratic candidates are so superior to George W Bush that they are not in the same ballpark.
When I hear nitwits like Tucker Carlson, for example, say something to the effect that the people do not want any of these candidates because they are so weak, I can't help but think of the so-called great and intelligent leader we now have sitting in the White House. Have we ever had a more incompetent or arrogant leader in our nation's history? Which Democrat in America would not be more competent?

The right wing now controls the "guddam librul meja" and so they know that idiots like limpbow, hammity curlupsome will have no opposing voice.
I also remember when, in late 1991 & early 1992, our candidates were "The Seven Dwarfs" and when Bill Clinton was going to finish behind ross perot.
When things get bad enough, and they're starting to look worse than in 1991 & 1992, the people will start paying attention to their empty pockets, not the moronic spin of the right wing "journalists"
Thanks for the post. :hi:
