Political Transference

(the usual suspects)

I admit that I spend a good deal of time picking on the political left and the Democrats. For those of you that don’t know, I consider myself to be a Libertarian in my political beliefs, but I favor the historical philosophies of the Republican party over that of the Democratic party.

In an effort to be “fair and balanced” I feel that it is time to speak out about the Republicans recent political performance.

First, I have to ask this question: “What the heck were those seven Republican Senators thinking when they joined with seven Democrats to prevent the “nuclear option” from being invoked on Tuesday. Can you say “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?”

And the answer is: “They were either naive or they were stupid…that’s what.”

All they have gotten in return for all the pomp and circumstance is a confirmation vote on Pricilla Owen. Guess who voted AGAINST Owen’s confirmation when it came before the full Senate? The usual suspects—

Biden, Boxer, Cantwell, Corzine, Dayton, Dodd, Dorgan, Feingold, Kennedy, Kerry, Lautenberg, Levin, Lincoln, Murray, Reed, Sarbanes, and Stabenow.

Any surprise here?

And it has taken less than 72 hours for the deal to be broken because Bill Frist decided to schedule John Bolton’s confirmation for UN ambassador ahead of that of Janice Rogers Brown for the Federal Court. Now the Democrats have thrown a wrench in the works again, saying that Bolton wasn’t part of “the deal”—“the deal” was on judges.

I think that Arizona’s Senator John McCain is a complete self-serving idiot and deserves to suffer the wrath of the Arizona voters in 2006. Apparently he inhaled too much Agent Orange while tied up in those Vietnamese prison camps. Southern Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina also deserves a butt-whooping at the polls when he comes up for re-election.

I say that everything is back to square one in the Senate. Nuke ‘em…
