Yes Chucky there is an extremist - you

Democrats are frantic, as democrats are likely to be, when there is a Republican president who is on the march. Sen. Charles Schumer noted in his Saturday radio address that there is "a whiff of extremism in the air the likes of which we haven't seen in decades." And he’s right. Harry Reid has called the president a loser. Using the wrong case opinion as an example, he called Clarence Thomas dumb. Using every underhanded trick in the book, Democrats have marched in lock-step to oppose the president’s reform minded nominee for the cesspool called the UN. Not single Democrat has broken party ranks to note that “slandering decent people whom we disagree with politically is a bad idea.”

And if slandering John Bolton were not enough, Democrats are again following their pied piper in denouncing ten of the president’s judicial nominees in the worst and most dishonest way. The word lies comes to mind when reading what Democrat surrogates are saying about the nominees. See, when you are a spineless Democrat, you have to have surrogates do the lying for you. Then you cannot be caught lying, but you can feign “serious concern about these allegations.”

I don’t really mind politicians going after other politicians. That’s fun and every one of them deserves it. Anyone who has read more than two posts below knows that I have harsh words for politicians myself. I don’t say, “Ann Coulter said that Teddy Kennedy is bloated old dolt not fit to serve as a men’s room orderly” and then opine that I have “serious concerns about the allegations.” I am more inclined to finish that thought by noting, “and she’s right” than pretend that the allegations need any further investigation. I’m a little less sanguine about politicians and their surrogate hatchet men going after citizens interested in serving their country by serving their government. Losers don’t get to pick who those people will be. They can talk truth about the people, but they don’t get to pick ‘em. That’s what elections are for. Once the president picks ‘em, Democrats have right to object to but not slander the nominee. But the American people have a right to have a vote on the president’s picks.

So, yes Chuck there is a “whiff of extremism in the air” and the stench is all coming from your side. As noted several times below, I do not favor the so called “nuclear option.” I’m in favor of making Democrats show that they are the extremist by making them talk 24-7 for as long as it takes. Get the cameras rolling. Film Teddy Kennedy searching for a thought hour after hour. Film the shrill one - SHrillary – as her abrasive voice rises and rises to a pitch so high and shrill that the chandeliers in the capitol building finally shatter and crash to the floor. As she continues, her voice becomes inaudible to mere humans and every dog in D.C. begins to howl in agony. Film John Kerry as he speaks first in favor of the filibuster before speaking against it. It’d be great.

For some odd reason politicians have entered into some sort of gentlemen’s agreement not to require the other side to make dopes of themselves. But making them talk would smoke out the real extremists. And Chucky they are you.
