Their intoxicating power lost, Dems now only complain

[DesertFox]

The 18th century British statesman Edmund Burke observed, "Those who have once been intoxicated with power, and have derived any kind of emolument from it, even though for one year, can never willingly abandon it."

This truism was echoed by James F. Byrnes, Supreme Court justice and Harry Truman's Secretary of State, in 1956, when he noted that "Power intoxicates men, it is never voluntarily surrendered."

This explains the ... brutal attacks by the Democrats since the elections in 2000, and 2004. They were so intoxicated with power by having ruled the Congress - not for just one year - but for most of the 20th Century, they were incensed with having lost both elections - and more importantly both houses of Congress - that they were incapable of being the loyal opposition.

Democrats had chaired all the committees, had large staffs, governed by subpoena and hearings and controlled the agenda. This is intoxicating power. So they were so frustrated and angry over not one, but two "stolen" presidential elections, they embarked upon an ugly campaign to destroy any effort by the Republicans to govern.

One of the problems in DC is that thanks to RINOs and weak-kneed Pubs, the RATs still are in control in DC despite being the minority in both houses. 12 years after the Gingrich Revolution swept the GOP into power, the Pubs still don't know how the hell to act as though they hold the reins. It's becoming very frustrating to see the RATs continue to dominate Washington as though nothing had changed.

Testicular transplants are long overdue.

As a result, the Dems unwittingly fell into the childlike habit of carping at anything the Republicans said or proposed rather than advancing positive policy recommendations....It really is bizarre.


And since we don't live in a perfect world, the 'rats can always say, "We can to do better!" or "We need to make sure that (any bad thing) NEVER happens again!" But, they never give any specifics of any plan to do "better!"

Just whine and complain b/c things ain't perfect!

The Dems being out of power are like cocaine addicts going through withdrawal, trembling, angry, yelling out incoherent obscenities. They want their fix back so bad they will lie, steal and even betray their own country to get the power back.

But after just six years of cold-turkey it is clear they need more to get clean an sober.

Please help the Democrats continue on the path to recovery by voting Republican this November.
