Ding Dong?
High Noon for Hillary. Jimmy the second. Dean’s genius. Plus more.
(Page 9 of 9)
You want to talk of the depressed and depressing state of affairs in Detroit and the whole of Michigan? Fine, who do you keep electing to office. I don’t see the Daly machine taking any hits of significance in Chicago and its environs. The majority of voters seem quite content. And don’t even talk about the Illinois Senators that keep getting elected time after time. Well, Obama is new, but his attitude and voting habits are not. Speaking of farm bills, how long has Harkin of Iowa been in office? I think that it is still the voters putting him there. I mean, we could go state after state, even among some fairly red states.
p>Face it, those of us that read and comment at websites like the Spectator simply are NOT the majority of the voting public. I have heard that the tachometers were removed from the caskets of all the American founding fathers. The RPMs were so high that they were constantly red lined. It is even rumored that John Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey are having significant heartburn over the antics of their fellow party members, elected and unelected. So, on the theory that even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while, kudos to Mike Roush for telling it like it really is. We really have met the enemy, and he really, really is us. When the majority of voters change their demands, the elected politicians will change their agendas. br> — Ken Shreve br> New Hampshire /p>
