The Demise of Dorgan and Dodd

Many of cheered announcement of Senators Chris Dodd and Byron Dorgan, that they would not seek re-election this year – actions brought about by declining… no make that nosediving,,, polling numbers for two men that some actually call “The Honorable” with a straight face. In a way it is good to see the rebellion of the tea party movement removing some of the worst of the worst from the Senate… with more to come. However, before we get too excited about the political demise of these dynamic Ds, lets look at this a bit closer.

As incompetent as the Democrats are in their leadership of the country, they are consummate politicians. As badly as the bungle ruling, they understand how to get elected and retain power, which is their sole purpose in life. Maybe it’s just finely tuned political instincts or prompting from the dark side, but these two dropping out of their respective races was a stroke of pure genius.

These two… with others to come… didn’t have snowball’s chance in hell of holding on to their seats. By dropping out now, they have removed the focus of public hostility for their personal corruption and incompetence, and the party now has the opportunity to run a fresh face who can lie to the public telling them that he wants nothing to do with Obama’s plans and schemes. They believe the people have such short memories and are so gullible as to believe campaign promises from the Obamessiah’s henchmen. It is our job to see that this does not happen.

We are finding our voice and we need to continue to fan the flames of discontent and anger. We cannot permit them to gloss over the problems created by the departing Senators. Democrats have no problems painting horns and tails on their opponents while the good guys and “moderate” Republicans expect them to play by rules of civility and honesty… kind of like Barack Hussein Obama thinks our sworn enemies are dealing with us.

I’m not sure which of these misapprehensions is more damaging to our country. We can’t do much about Obama’s illusions, but we can work to make sure those going up against his minions develop the same “go for the jugular” approach they have been up against for years. There is just so much at stake here to run campaigns by Marquess of Queensberry rules when your bare knuckled, street brawling opponent recognizes no rules.

Democrats are working on plans to legalize the illegals among us and implement universal registration with the goal of a permanent majority. There is no limit to the damage they can do with this, and most Republicans and independents are holding back. This has got to stop, unless we like the idea of slavery to an all powerful government.
