The unethical character of former President, Bill Clinton, finally seems to have percolated through the Democrat Party. Even prior to Clinton's 1992 election, conservatives were shouting from the rooftops warning the American people of Clinton's unethical character and behavior. For eight long years, nobody seemed to listen and the media called us "extremists". Now it seems that the unethical practices of the Party's most prominent leaders may finally be affecting the voters' perspectives of the Party. Polls show an increasing likelihood that the GOP will maintain or increase its majority in the House, while also possibly capturing the Senate. Though "Bubba" is no longer President, he is still the leader of the Democrat Party and Clinton's unethical virus seems to have found many hew hosts among Democrat leaders and the Party's candidates in this year's mid-term elections.
Travel to the Garden State, or as I refer to it, "The Litter State", and the footprint of the Unethical Party can be seen. In an 11th hour move, the democrats kindly suggested to Senator Bob Torricelli that he drop out of the race, as he was plunging in the polls. Though the New Jersey law seemed to prevent such a move, the democrats found a friendly New Jersey Supreme Court and a spineless Federal Supreme Court to allow the switch. There can be no doubt that the Democrat Party knows that this move will have dramatic negative ramifications to the election process in the U.S. Future candidates who are significantly behind in the polls, even after winning a primary election, may be replaced at will. These potential moves stand to not only disenfranchise the primary voters who elected a specific candidate to represent their party, but also the aggregate voters who may only have the chance to assess a candidate for a few short weeks prior to Election Day. It is quite clear that the democrats have put the result of one Senate race above the integrity of our election system.
We can then move to South Dakota where Junior Democrat Senator, Tim Johnson, is embroiled in a controversy surrounding forged signatures on absentee ballots from Indian reservations. Considering that the state only has a population of 700,000, it would be easy for a few votes from an Indian reservation to swing this election.
Travel south to the Show-Me State where election improprieties are as common as hot dogs at a baseball game, especially in Baseball City, U.S.A., St. Louis. Recall that it was only two years ago when a federal judge ordered that poll hours be extended in overwhelmingly Democrat St. Louis. The move helped cause the deceased Mel Carnahan win the U.S. Senate election and eventually led to the appointment of his wife, Jean Carnahan, to fill the seat. Jim Talent's biggest challenge may be to make sure that every dog, bird, cat, and dead person in the St. Louis district doesn't vote on Election Day.
Other unethical candidates abound in the Democrat Party this election. In Georgia, Democrat House Candidate, Charles Walker, is in trouble due to various ethical problems. In fact, Walker, who is African-American, is losing to a white man in a predominantly African-American district. Lack of ethics has even been seen in the cornfields of Iowa. Previously invincible Senator Tom Harkin may lose his election due to a secret illegal taping of his GOP contender.
Of course, the candidates are only a reflection of the Party's leaders. "Pseudo-Chairman" of the DNC, Bill Clinton, has an infinite list of, to put it mildly, "unethical practices". DNC Chairman, Terry McAuliffe is not immune, as he has apparently used Hillary Clinton's broker in his financial dealings. McAuliffe earned a staggering 18,000% return on his investment in now-defunct, Global Crossing. Has he volunteered to send any of those funds to stockholders who didn't enjoy his "knowledge"? Other prominent democrats, such as the aforementioned Hillary Clinton, along with Richard Trumka, have a myriad of ethical violations that must make the Party proud.
With all the Democrat Party's ethical violations problems, I am volunteering to consult the Party in its selection of a candidate for the 2004 Presidential Election. Potential candidates include:
Martha Stewart: She is clearly a victim of some right-wing conspiracy due to her success. Spending time in jail could actually enhance her chances.
Pete Rose: Pete has the edge over Martha in that he's already been in the slammer. However, being known as a "hard worker" in his profession may offend some in the Party.
Bill Clinton: Yes, the 22nd amendment theoretically prevents him from running, but election law is meaningless and isn't the phrase, "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice" a little unclear?
Jimmy Carter: Inflation is far too low at 1.3% and oil at $30/barrel isn't a high enough to reduce the SUVs on the road.
Franklin D. Roosevelt: I know what you're thinking, but even that doesn't mean he's unqualified in the thinking of the Democrat Party.
The meaning of "will be"...
Although an otherwise fine piece of analysis, I object strongly to the use of the word "unethical". "Criminal" is the proper term that should be used. RATS have always been unethical, but it took klinton to show them how to be criminal.
"I can't leave him," she said, "I have to give him one more chance."
Proverbs 2
12 Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men, from men whose words are perverse,
13 who leave the straight paths to walk in dark ways,
14 who delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
15 whose paths are crooked and who are devious in their ways.
16 It will save you also from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words,
17 who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God.
18 For her house leads down to death and her paths to the spirits of the dead. 19 None who go to her return or attain the paths of life.
20 Thus you will walk in the ways of good men and keep to the paths of the righteous.
21 For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it;
22 but the wicked will be cut off from the land, and the unfaithful will be torn from it.
