THE BIGGEST LOSERS –– THE REAL REALITY SHOW
Vol. 1 Issue 2
The Republicans were not the only losers in the 2006 election. There was another group that went down in flames with them. The only reason this group lost is that the Republicans were defeated. Had the Senate and House stayed status-quo this group would have stood to make millions.
They are the Lawyers that were standing in the wings. The lawyers hired by the Democrats in the event they lost. They had their staffs working overtime waiting to file subpoenas to inspect the voting machines, ballot boxes and anything else they could use to claim that the Republicans stole the election just like they claimed they did in 2000 and 2004. (There was no proof of that in those elections.) Why did I not hear terms like disenfranchised and voter fraud being bantered about this time around? Because the only dictionary that carries those words has Left written all over it and they do not pull it off the shelf if they are victorious.
Where were the three stooges, Al Gore, Michael Moore and George Soros in all of this? They were probably sitting back waiting for the results. Al with his screaming rhetoric about how the Grinch Stole Christmas, Michael with his camera ready to film another misleading and vitriolic film about the Grinch and George with his checkbook in hand to pay for all the attorneys to prove the Grinch is real. My condolences to the legal profession.
Here is how the Republican Party handles defeat. They just walk away realizing that politics is like sports there are losers and winners. This was not their time to win. Therefore, what are they going to do? You will not see them in the locker room with their crying towels. They will regroup, analyze where they went wrong and come back to fight another day. The have conducted themselves without vitriolic, false and disingenuous rhetoric. They will silently regroup and figure out where they went wrong.
During the 2004 race, John Kerry lost Ohio by well over 100,000 votes. He went down kicking and screaming, “Ohio was fixed.” In Virginia Sen. George Allen only lost by about 9,300 votes, I have not heard him screaming foul. Neither did incumbent Sen. Conrad Burns in Montana a big red state where the senate seat is going to go to Democrat Jon Tester who won by a slim margin of 2,800 votes.
The Virginia race was decided by absentee ballots. You did not see Sen. Allen suing to keep the absentee ballots out of the race the way the Democrats did in Florida 2000, because the military ballots did not have a dated post-mark on them. It was a sad day in America, when the Democrats wanted to take away the right to vote from our brave men and women who were training that some day they would give their lives to protect that right. What they did not know at the time is that one-year later they would be doing what they were training to do. What were the Democrats going to do with those ballots anyway, throw them in the garbage?
You did not see Sen. Burns engaging an army of lawyers to protest the election in Montana. What you did hear the Republicans saying to quote the Gubernator, is “We’ll be back.”
My grandmother had a name for people like the Republicans, it is called Mensch. (If you do not know what it means, ask your Jewish friends.)
So where did we stand now in American politics. Nancy Pelosi with Sen. Charles “Chuck” Schumer, bouncing around the podium behind her, pumped fists and all, with a smile on his face that you couldn’t rub off with a steel brush, said now that we are back in power we will do everything we can to work with President Bush’s administration for the good of the American people. My question to you Nancy is where have you been for the past six years?
Nancy, this is what I am going to do. I will give you the benefit of the doubt, but only this once. If I do not like what I see in the coming months, you and the rest of congress on both sides of the aisle are going to hear a roar on Flag Day 2007 that will shake you in your Manolo Blahniks.
That is my promise.
