Who cares? One liberal is just as bad as the other!
While I think the word
bad might be over-kill, I fear the actual damage here is cronyism. In all groups, even good ones, there is a distinct agenda.
Let's suppose that TexasSeaRay and I want to form a political party. We live in different parts of the country, and so we found the "Fire and Ice" political coalition. We cal it
FAI, for short.
Due to our overview of The Constitution, we are primarily strict constructionists. Because of our campaign has a new slant and a differing infusion of money, and RP brings in his voters, TSR and I win by a landslide.
The right wing finally takes a long exhale, and guns are secure. Our coattails also provide a "super congress."
So one day, TSR calls me to the Oval Office and says, "Ya' know, VP Chico, I've always thought that Texas gets screwed by offshore fishing restrictions and PC. Let's use a little muscle to enhance the GNP down there."
I respond, "Ya' know, President TSR, we could also Christmas Tree that bill with some more reasonable decibel levels on cruiser bikes up in Wisconsin."
"Then it's settled," smiles The Prez, "Let's get Congressman Wildalaska to float out the 2008 "Loud Fish" bill..."
The issue here is that these two cronies have always thought this way and use the Republican guaranteed planks and Congressional power to gain personal clout beyond their intended powers.
Does the word "Halliburton" strike a chord?
The problem with an Oprah/Obama marriage is that while "Loud Fish" might enhance existing legal parameters for
all constituents, a secret plank affecting only 23 million minorities does not.
And the tragic hook is that it never will. Oprah will never grant a big tent extension to every white biker in America. In fact, I doubt if Oprah will extend portions of her plank to white bowling leagues.
And Obama is too young, too inexperienced and too much the rube to ever recognize that the spotlight is hers and never his.
Why was she on the podium taking bows from the applause? If I'm not mistaken, it's
he who is running and she is not on the ticket at all.
BTW, TSR, I have some ideas on a speech...
