Dems Delay tactic shows signs of last minute desperation

It is a sign of the Himalayan presumption to
which the anti-DeLay hordes have soared that one of their websites is
soliciting from their rank and vile "witty slogans" to be reproduced on
billboards in House Majority Leader Tom DeLay's district and thus sink him
into oblivion when next the electorate speak. Now how would any of these
angry hysterics recognize wit?
I do long to see the fruits of their labors. Already we have
some specimens of their facetiae. There is the T-shirt that reads, "Dear Tom
DeLay, Drop Dead/ Sincerely, The American People." Ha, ha, ha and did you
get that, "Sincerely, The American People"? What did I say about the
anti-DeLay hysterics' mountainous presumption? They actually think that
their juvenile indignation is characteristic of the majority of the American
people. But then they think the majority of the American people oppose the
present Republican administration and were somehow hoodwinked out of the
last two elections.
Just the other day the Democrats' most recent messiah, Sen.
Jean-Francois Kerry, solemnized, "Last year, too many people were denied
their right to vote, too many who tried to vote were intimidated." Here is
Sen. Kerry's evidence: "Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on
Wednesday, Republicans vote on Tuesday. People are told in telephone calls
that if you've ever had a parking ticket, you're not allowed to vote."
Well, Michael Barone, one of the most perceptive students of
politics, has also been reviewing the last election. He comes to a
conclusion based on more solid evidence than that of the glassy-eyed Sen.
Kerry, namely, election results state by state and congressional district
by congressional district. Barone concludes, "In the long run, Republicans
are well-positioned to increase their numbers in both the Senate and the
House." The number of Democrats in the Senate and the House who are
dependent on constituencies that have voted Republican in presidential races
is far higher than the number of Republicans holding seats in states that go
Democratic every four years. When these Democrats retire or step away from
moderate positions, a Republican is likely to take their place.
This ongoing slippage, which has been going on since 1980,
despite the Wunderkind Clinton, explains the Democrats' desperate assault on
House Majority Leader DeLay, the most successful Republican to hold that
position in modern times. Ben Stein wrote recently in DeLay's defense that
he "is morally probably the highest level public servant I have ever met."
Ben, I shall take your word for that. Certainly nothing I have seen in the
corpus delicti gathered up by the Democrats' servants in the media
demonstrates otherwise. All of it is either blameless or standard operating
procedure for all Washington pols, Democrat, Republican and Independent.
Did DeLay have his wife and daughter on his payroll for
campaign-related work? That was the news story that was supposed to send him
to the gallows last week. This week it has been reported that Independent
congressman Bernard Sanders has been doing the same. If the press looks
carefully, it will discover an abundance of solons employing family members.
What the Democrats are doing is creating yet another double standard: What
is impermissible for Republicans is not even mentioned when practiced by
Democrats.
My guess is that DeLay is going to survive easily. He has done
no wrong, though he might in the future be more scrupulous in availing
himself to the hospitality of Washington wheeler-dealers. How his enemies
are going to survive is more problematic. They have driven themselves to the
edge. As with the president so now with DeLay, they are nearly out of their
minds. The only good that can come of this condition for them is this. In
their hysteria they will not be able to notice what fools they make of
themselves. They will be stuck with DeLay up there on the Hill passing
legislation, but they will still have their self-esteem. Of course, they
even maintained their self-esteem when they voted for the buffoonish Sen.
Kerry.
