The important thing: protecting the minority

Watching Fox this morning. Kind of a hoot. First Donald Trump comes on and says he's thinking about running for president in 2012 as a Republican. The last time I heard anything from him, he sounded like a dem, said the Comrade was doing a bang-up job and all that. Now he says he's heard that even the Red Chinese themselves are astonished at "what we let them get away with," and the USA's prestige has fallen all over the world.

Where the heck ya been, Donald?

Then Ed Rendell, Governor of Penna., comes on and says, "You don't have to like us, just vote for us." He's a dem. And what a stirring message. "A tepid vote is as good as an enthusiastic vote." I was moved to tears... of laughter.

My message to those dems who don't like what their party is doing to the nation, but who couldn't vote for a Republican in a million years -- Yeah, just stay home on election day. Your country needs you to just stay home. You don't have to humiliate yourself by being out in public when the returns come in. After the votes are counted, you can just tell your friends, "See I knew it was hopeless. What difference would my vote make against the Republican tsunami?" It won't be your fault. That should provide some comfort to the typical dem.

But Ed Rendell also said something that scared me silly. Rendell started talking about how the Republicans have blocked all the stuff the Comrade wanted to do (a-w-w-w-w-w). The hosts pointed out that the dems had majorities in both houses of congress and the White House.

Apparently that's not good enough for Ed Rendell. He noted how with 40 votes in the Senate, Republicans could refuse to let legislation come to the floor for a vote -- it's a filibuster. And Ed Rendell doesn't like that and wants it changed.

You know, I always liked Ed Rendell even though he is a dem. And even though he is a blockhead. See, that's the dems as a group -- they have no idea what America is all about. It's not a democracy; it's a republic. The majority over here is not allowed by the Constitution to just streamroller over the minority. They are forced to respect the minority. This isn't England.

And thank heavens the Republicans were able to stop the crap avalanche of the Comrade's agenda -- at least some of it.

And that's enough for now. I do want to write about how and why government bail-outs suck, but I'll do that later. And it's not because the Comrade's bail-outs have come close to shutting down the US economy. It's just very inefficient and may be yet another reason why there is still no jobs.

Save the Republic. Lock your dem neighbors in the basement on Election Day - November 2.
