A Boston Tea Party …(A Strain On Their Marriages Perhaps)

Many, many times when referring to the war in Iraq I have heard Democrats say, “America should be better than that”. We heard it when they spoke about prisoners in Guantanamo Bay and the prison abuse scandal of Abu Ghraib. Now we are hearing it in reference to how the President treated Cindy Sheehan during her visit to the White House in June 2004.

In saying “America should be better than that” are Dems saying the country must act responsibly but they personally do not have too? An example of blatant, classless action is the commercial being run by NARAL focusing on Supreme Court Justice nominee John Robert’s record of siding with violent anti-choice groups. Since the first moment the commercial ran over the weekend, everyone has been stating how obviously false it is. This of course has not stopped NARAL from running it. CNN stated this morning that it is true the commercial is not factual but that they would not stop running the commercial just because it was untrue. I have to ask, aren’t we better than that?

The Democrats willingness to overtly lie in an effort to get their preferred result reminds me of a not very popular movie made my John Candy called “The Last Polka”. In this movie John Candy and Eugene Levy play polka icons Yosh and Stan Schmenge. Because they are icons they have groupies who are three sisters called the Lemon twins. These twins hang around Yosh and Stan so much that a scandal is created. When one of the Lemon Twins (played by Catherine O’Hara of Home Alone) is asked about the scandal she answers, “Even though the rumors are untrue we realize the difficulty this is causing Yosh and Stan … a strain on their marriages perhaps … we hope so anyway. This is what the far left groups are willing to do to unseat the nomination of John Roberts. They are willing to portray Roberts falsely in hopes of increasing their chances of success. They really aren’t any better than that.
