Floyd Co. GOP chair living bad dream (scroll down)To paraphrase, that's all spleen, no cattle. I never imagined I'd miss William F. Buckley so much.
... Millions of Americans voted last November for “change.” Well, you got your change! e now have an American President who goes around the world and apologizes to foreign nations for America. I doubt you could find any president who would ever have demeaned the office by bowing to a foreign dignitary, much less one representing the radical faith responsible for the terrorist attacks of 9/11. We criticized the previous administration for doubling the national debt, but this guy has tripled that in just the first 100 days.
Look, we tried to warn you that this man was the most liberal, socialist-minded member of the Senate and that he would bring his opinions to bear upon the Presidency if elected. We warned you that he would lead the way with a “tax-and-spend” philosophy that would likely bankrupt the economy and tax our children, grandchildren and all their progeny for decades to come. Wait until he unveils his plan for universal health care! With little to no resistance from any branch of the federal government, we better all hope these four years go quickly. Of course, it could just be a bad dream. Or maybe a comedy routine gone awry! It does, however, make me kind of afraid to ultimately hear the punch line ...
Looking for constructive proposals from a somehow viable political party? Or, satisfied with venom directed at the inheritors of an America cheapened and degraded by eight years of Republican misrule? Dave's rant does little to enhance a thinking man's options.
It would be far more instructive if Matthews and his Democratic counterpart, John Wilcox, spent their letter writing time explaining to voters how their political parties have platforms and policy positions that actually impact local issues. Everyone knows I respect John, and actually, I respect Dave, too, but what I don’t respect is diatribes like the preceding that offer no solutions, just more of the same blind labeling.
Unfortunately, what I’m seeing at present from what passes for local Republican “leadership” is the same sort of stalking horse obstructionism that already is being done all too well by those passing as Democrats.
Obviously, the time draws near for an alternative movement, one that is non-partisan in the traditional sense of party groupings.
Pants Down Progressives, anyone?
