Democrats stand for nothing - make 'em talk about it

Democrats these days it seems are standing in the way of everything. They are standing in the way of you and your money when it comes to voluntary private Social Security accounts. They are standing in the way of John Bolton - the president’s plain spoken, call the UN what it is nominee for UN ambassador. They are standing in the way of a sensible energy policy which includes producing oil from a frozen wasteland in Alaska. They stand against a winning strategy in Iraq instead insisting on an exit strategy. They stand against House majority leader Tom Delay for engaging in activities common among D.C. politicians. They stand against you and your right to own a firearm. While jetting to and fro in private aircraft and chauffeured limos, they stand against you and your 26 mile to the gallon four-cylinder SUV. They stand against a sensible forestry policy because they would rather see hundreds of thousands of acres of habitat burn to the ground than see a logging company make ten cents hauling away the dead wood. They stand against you and your children by supporting the loony idea that children can’t bring an aspirin to school without a note from mom but can get a federally funded, partial birth abortion without a word to mom or dad. While protecting the first amendment rights of a couple moppy teenagers to wear black trench coats and read aloud from Mein Kampf in the hallways of Columbine High School, they stand opposed to students who wear a t-shirt with a cross on it or read aloud from the Bible. They stand against a US Constitution which says what it says preferring a constitution which can be bent to the will and ideology of activist judges who base their wacky opinions on foreign law and popular fads.

Unfortunately, I could go on and on with what Democrats stand against. But watching the Sunday talk shows yesterday, I noticed there is not one thing that Democrats are standing for. They have no ideas on how to fix Social Security or anything else. The entire Democrat agenda is one of no, no, no. This is why I think the Republicans should make the Democrats conduct an actual filibuster with cameras running – make ‘em talk. Let’s watch Teddy Kennedy and other Democrats search for a relevant thought for hour after hour day after day. Watching Kennedy and other Democrats search for a cogent thought live on the floor of the senate would certainly replace Comedy Central in comedic value. Democrats stand for nothing. Making them talk will demonstrate that fact and provide a treasure trove of sound bites for the mid-term elections.
