Michael Graham has a piece in the Boston Herald that really is a must read. It points out the one thing that the Democrats have not addressed in all the election year hoopla. All the sideshows and carnival barker antics aside, where's the one plan that matters?
You can turn off CNN, stop e-mailing me The New York Times editorials and stuff a sock in Keith Olbermann’s piehole. You’ve done it. You’ve closed the deal.
I’m ready to vote Democrat.
Yes, the man who proudly ran Pat Buchanan’s campaign in South Carolina in 1992 is ready to vote Democrat early and, in keeping with tradition, often.
Speaker Pelosi? No problem. Majority Leader Reid? Absolutely. I don’t care how much cash he rakes in off unreported Las Vegas land deals. I say, “Let it ride!”
I can count on one hand the Democrats who’ve gotten my vote – mostly candidates for jobs involving the pursuit and restraint of unleashed pets.But George W. Bush has screwed up nearly everything he’s touched, and congressional Republicans are spending more time with their hands on backsides than Mark Foley at a high school Twister tournament. Throw the bums out!
I’m not alone. Some politically savvy conservatives argue it’s time to let the Kool-Aid spill where it may and send the GOP leadership into the political wilderness for a couple of years. This makes sense in a twisted, masochistic “I read Machiavelli when I was a freshman but didn’t quite grasp the concept” sort of way.
Regardless, I’m a shameless bandwagon jumper and I’m ready to cast my lot with the party of Roosevelt, Truman and McCain (mostly).
I only have one, small question first. Should be easy.
What are you (sorry, make that “we”) Democrats going to do about Iraq and the Islamists?
Read the whole thing. It's really the elephant – or should that be donkey? – in the room. And it will be the deal breaker for a lot of folks.
