They can’t stop themselves.
The libs are in power and they are like dieters locked in a candy store over a long weekend.
Everyone likes the quote about stepping aside when your enemy is destroying himself, but I’ve been thinking of this quote from the movie LADY FROM SHANGHAI:
“Once, off the hump of Brazil I saw the ocean so darkened with blood it was black and the sun fainting away over the lip of the sky.We’d put in at Fortaleza, and a few of us had lines out for a bit of idle fishing. It was me had the first strike. A shark it was. Then there was another, and another shark again, ‘till all about, the sea was made of sharks and more sharks still, and no water at all. My shark had torn himself from the hook, and the scent, or maybe the stain it was, and him bleeding his life away drove the rest of them mad. Then the beasts got to eating each other.In their frenzy, they ate at themselves.You could feel the lust of murder like a wind stinging your eyes, and you could smell the death, reeking up out of the sea. I never saw anything worse... until this little picnic tonight.And you know, there wasn’t one of them sharks in the whole crazy pack that survived. “
Exactly.

I have a conservative friend who moved here from Canada not too long ago. He seems to have spent 2008 in a cold sweat. I, on the other hand, spent the last year patiently reassuring him that the end of the world is not nigh, due to the fact that Democrats always, and I means always implode on impact when they are elected.
They can't seem to help themselves from immediately attempting massive power grabs, instituting a fiesta of labyrinthine regulations, and trying to make every day March 15th by stabbing each other in the back in their mad dash for more personal power before voters come to their eventual senses and toss them out again.
I don't relish their years in office, but as long as their power structure is such that it encourages a steady stream of would-be saviors who immediately and thoroughly royally screw things up, I can tolerate it.
My only concern right now is that we field candidates in the next election that are actually different in substantive ways from the Democrats. When the people get tired of tax & spend, they'll demand an alternative. Conservatives have to step into that void.
