Democrats are so exuberant at their imminent control of Congress that moments after voting this morning, New York Senator Hillary Clinton let loose with a rare candid statement. Emerging from her polling place, Clinton was asked how she voted. She quickly replied that she “voted for change – except for me! (cackle-cackle).
With that one short statement, Clinton spoke volumes about her elitist attitudes that are also shared with her cohorts of the extreme left such as Howard Dean, John Kerry, Ted Kennedy and George Soros, to name but a few. Clinton and fellow travellers view themselves as the rule makers for the teeming masses, who lack the intelligence and wisdom to navigate life without help.
Far from the democratic ideal, the condescending leftist elite are striving to create an American ruling class that is exempt from the rules they would impose on the rest of us. May God help us all.
Your paranoia is alive and well. I hope it’s working for you.
I’ll just say a few things about “…striving to create an American ruling class that is exempt from the rules they would impose on the rest of us.”
1. Bush and his “legal” Eavesdropping
2. Mark Foley Scandal.
3. Geneva Convention and the laws about POW (I’m not sure if the Right has ever heard of these because Bush seems to think that torturing prisoners is OK)
4. Washington lobbyist Jack Abramoff
5. Tom Delay and his money laundering
6. Halliburton’s 5 year deal (Normal contracts are 1 year)
7. GOP’s Phone jamming in New Hampshire
8. Valerie Plame
9. Abu Ghraib
If you look at election results Americans want a change. They sent a very strong message to Washington yesterday. American voters cleaned out some of the garbage that has been running our country for the past 6 years
I find that very interesting and disturbing if this is the way that you believe that it is. Where is it that you get this interpretation that these “elites” are trying to make themeselves rulemakers because people can’t do it on there own?
Not a fan of HC, but don’t agree with your “elitist” assessment. Sounds like she was making a funny. No harm, no foul.
Unfortunately, the democrats idea of change is submitting to the demands of the UN and appeasing Muslim demands.
The blogger here was wrong about the electorate ridding us of Republican rule in the house and senate. He said Iraq wasn’t the issue. I am certain someone so out of touch with reality has it wrong regarding Hillary Clinton as well.
Gary,
How was I wrong? I predicted back on October 16th that the Republicans would loose Congress, and that’s what happened.
The Dems won because Independent and Republican voters handed it to them. I am not alone in pointing out that arrogant and out of control Republicans in Congress brought on their own demise.
If you think that hatred for Bush and the Iraq war were the deciding factors, it’s you who are out of touch.
In the other thread you posted that it would not be Iraq. You said: “Recent polls show that while a majority of voters question the prosecution of the war, they don’t neccessarily believe we shouldn’t be there. In fact, a slight majority actually agree that involvement in Iraq is an inevitable part of a larger war on terror. Turner is preaching to the choir and anti-war views in general don’t indicate what the real problem is for Republicans. Instead, Republican politicians up for re-election are facing a constituency that feels betrayed by Bush and congressional Republicans in two key areas – the economy and immigration.”
The impression is that you thought the economy and immigration would determine the race, not Iraq. It is my view that Iraq was the major issue. And now that Rummy is gone, the Bush 1 advisors will come in to clean it up. They doubted the neocons from the beginning!!!
BTW
The major reason the Repubs lost was Iraq. That is almost universally accepted as the major reason. Most pundits both right and left agree. Rummy left so fast after the election that I was shocked. 11 million dollars an hour and many troups being wounded and killed is beyond fiscal responsibility, especially when we are treading water. We will be out sooner than you think, and as I have been saying, it will do nothing to help the terrorists win, just like getting out of Nam did not help communism win the cold war.
Tom type in the words (Bush Iraq Oil) into any search engine and you will realize that we invaded Iraq for oil. This was at best imperialism and at worst war crimes. How can you sleep at night knowing this president did not even care that soldiers died for gas for suv’s and he did nothing to conserve rather than send soldiers. I believe Katrina was a judgement against George Bush. He got what he deserved but others suffer for his agression.
Gary,
I appreciate your passion, but I think you are wrong.
First let me say that I never thought Afghanistan and Iraq were that great of an idea. The reason is that neither of those actions properly identify the problem, which is radical Islam. Going after Bin Laden ignores the fact that there are literally millions of Muslims who would like to wipe America off the face of the earth simply because we are not like them. It’s a little like trying to wipe out a nest of cockroaches with a hammer. You’ll get a few of them, but the results will be meaningless.
Typing “Bush Iraq Oil” into a search simple brings up the people who believe Bush is after the oil. That doesn’t make it true. And as far as energy consumption is concerned, when people like George Clooney and Al Gore can’t bring themselves to fly in commercial jets and instead, zip around in private jets, they better not lecture the common folk about conserving energy.
I’m not a big fan of George Bush, but I think your visceral hatred for the man is irrational at the very least.
Not to mention the fact that Gary, like most Democrats, hate Bush so much, he’s willing to help the Muslims destroy America just to get rid of Dub-Yah.
You want to find a way to get Gary to shut up, ask him what he, as a Democrat thinks is the best way to deal with the Muslim threat, other than the Dem tactics of “appease and surrender”.
He’ll throw a bunch of bullshit at you, but not give you any options other than “Bush is evil, Bush is evil, Bush is evil.”
Largo, I am an independent. I am not a Dem. I am not a liberal. However, I am of the view that the Bush admin always wanted to finish the job in Iraq in order to give the oil companies what they wanted. Cheney facilitated this, and now he is disgraced. If you don’t think oil was the main reason we went in, Largo, then I urge you to read and study, as the evidence is irrefutable.
I don’t hate Bush. I just think he has botched his presidency. I don’t personally dislike him. I actually feel sorry for him, that he listened to that smooth liar Cheney. But the entire US fell for Cheney’s lies, so Bush had no chance. So I feel sorry for him because he trusted a bad dude.
