Thinking about the prospects of the Democrats winning the White House scare me. I was reading the Paul Weyrich article and he posed the question of what would happen if the Democrats won the White House?
In times past, it mattered which party won the White House. But, if the other party won, you knew the country would be led by people who had the interests of the country at heart. With today's Democrat party, you know that they do not care one whit about the United States. They only care about their interests. If the US should disappear tomorrow, the average leftist Democrat would not care. He/she would be more concerned with how many babies they could kill today. Or they would be concerned with how many of the rights of the other people they could remove.
As recently as Bill Clinton, you got people in charge that at least nominally cared about the United States. They may have completely stupid ideas on how to do it, but they were trying to do what they felt was right. We are paying for their mistakes today. They are trying to cover for their mistakes. They are rewriting history in order to make themselves look at least innocuous. That is a tall order. There are too many people alive today that remember the 1990's. That is only 7-16 years ago, but people have very short attention spans.
Today's Democrats took over in 2000. In Al Gore's attempt at the White House he included many from the far left. When he lost, the far left felt they did not get their message out enough. They have spent six years working to get their message out. Their message is that it is all George Bush's fault for everything. If it were not for George Bush, everything would be perfect. They have no new ideas, they just react to what other people suggest. This gives them the ability to act superior and denigrate other people's ideas. In reality, they have no ideas and if confronted, they change the subject.
Bob Casey of Pennsylvania is the ideal 21st century Democrat candidate. He says nothing. He does nothing. He stands for nothing. When confronted, he gets indignant and blames it all on his opponent. Jim Pederson is trying to pull off a poor man's Bob Casey. Jim Pederson's problem is that he actually says things. The things he says are incredibly stupid. But he says things. Bob Casey does not make that mistake. He makes sure he cannot be quoted on anything. I believe that he will be the new model for the 21st century Democrat candidate. This will be especially true if he wins. If he wins, we will only see that type of Democrat candidate. They are hard to run against. They cannot be pinned down on anything. I admire Rick Santorum. He at least is trying to pin Bob Casey down on something, anything. I am not sure if he has succeeded. You at least have to give Rick Santorum an award for trying.
Janet Napolitano is pulling off a Bob Casey in the governor's race in Arizona. Len Munsil cannot pin her down on anything. She has not said anything quotable in the entire campaign. She has just relied on her position as Governor to win the election. I am afraid that it just might be enough for her to win. That would mean four more years of the bumbling of the Napolitano years.
