The democrats only know politics of personal destruction, but when it is tit for tat they pretend like they didn't invent it themselves.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

Get ready for the democratic trolls here on FR to show up, they are already here and slicker than ever, they coy away when cought and say enough JUST to get by without getting booted.

[Willie Green]

"The parliament is, by corruption, the mere instrument of the will of the administration. The real power and property in the government is in the great aristocratical families of the nation. The nest of office being too small for all of them to cuddle into at once, the contest is eternal, which shall crowd the other out. For this purpose, they are divided into two parties, the Ins and the Outs, so equal in weight that a small matter turns the balance. To keep themselves in, when they are in, every stratagem must be practised, every artifice used which may flatter the pride, the passions or power of the nation. Justice, honor, faith, must yield to the necessity of keeping themselves in place. The question whether a measure is moral, is never asked; but whether it will nourish the avarice of their merchants, or the piratical spirit of their navy, or produce any other effect which may strengthen them in their places. As to engagements, however positive, entered into by the predecessors of the Ins, why, they were their enemies; they did every thing which was wrong; and to reverse every thing they did, must, therefore, be right. This is the true character of the English government in practice, however different its theory; and it presents the singular phenomenon of a nation, the individuals of which are as faithful to their private engagements and duties, as honorable, as worthy, as those of any nation on earth, and whose government is yet the most unprincipled at this day known."

-- Thomas Jefferson to Governor John Langdon, March 5, 1810

The Democrats have a problem though:

[Gritty]

what was the ‘outrage of the week’? … Bill Bennett’s gambling habits. Why was that selected by the Democrat Party operatives in the presstitute corps?

I'm not a big proponent of gambling. But, I would much rather have Bill Bennett gambling his own hard-earned money at the slots of his choosing than let the Dumbocrats gamble my hard-earned money on the unConstitutional schemes of their choosing.

That's a sure loser!

Of course.

"IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID"

Right now in terms of ideas it is Dumbo vs the 9 dwarfs all saying how bad the other one is. Unfortunately they are all right.

Danggit! Somebody already wrote my piece for the week! Theif! They stole my idea!

Great article, BTW...thanks for the ping.

Excellent analogy.
The irony about the gambling of Bill Bennett?
Most people who spend money on the lottery in my state, (gambling) are those with the lowest income.

Anyone who has ever been to Tahoe or Las Vegas will also know that busloads of senior citizens on fixed incomes roll into the casinos daily for the purpose of depositing their SS checks in the slot machines. However, experience tells us, that in spite of all of these things, the left can make gambling seem like the most evil thing on earth when done by a conservative.
