Politics is..."What's their problem?"<br /><br />Politics is their problem. <br /><br />The Democratic Party has allowed itself (painlessly, even enjoyably) to get back into the smallest corner of all: the corner of rational discourse, which, of course, has no overlap with political discourse. It is not possible to define conservatism as The Problem without defining politics as The Problem. <br /><br />From a rational perspective, the problem with totalitarian regimes is not <b><i>what kind</i></b> of politics they have, but <b><i>how much</i></b> politics they have.<br /><br />In other words, the game is the wrong game, and the prize is not to win it, but to end it.Frank Wilhoithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17800594066476167549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-68366684732061710812015-03-27T15:03:16.975-04:002015-03-27T15:03:16.975-04:00There's still over 18 months to go, so I refus...There's still over 18 months to go, so I refuse to get pessimistic - highly unusual, for moi!<br /><br />She may be Reid's fave, but, I'm sure that other people will be heard from.<br /><br />And the problem with the Dem's is, as you've often said yourself, Steve, is that they don't know how to, or don't market their rising stars.<br /><br />In the GOP, some dog-catcher wins a US House seat, and, that person's Presidential material!<br /><br />They'd say that, since all Muslim's are dog's - even though they supposedly hate dogs - then, there's no one better to take on Islam, than a former dog-catcher.<br />OY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06609452382111686086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-47337238426441494582015-03-27T14:17:57.548-04:002015-03-27T14:17:57.548-04:00Maybe I'm misreading the situation from my van...<i>Maybe I'm misreading the situation from my vantage point at the opposite end of the country, but here's my usual lament: Why don't Democrats have any stars? What's their problem?</i><br /><br /><br /><br />Getting creamed in mid-terms is part of the problem. Also, the crap that does get into office stinks. Reid's "political machine" sure hasn't been much help statewide besides himself, has it? Reid couldn't even get his son elected to a state level office recently. If you were state AG, and had aspirations for higher office and half the state doesn't know who you are, that is a problem.Phil Perspectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13540815981930702517noreply@blogger.com
