A Boston Tea Party …(Hypocriteaphobia)
As each day passes and we get closer to the 2006 midterm election campaigns Democratic followers are finding it hard to contain themselves. Over the past couple weeks far left talk show hosts including the one based in Fargo have spent many hours psychoanalyzing President Bush. It seems most of them do not understand how a man could make the decisions he has without having something mentally wrong with him.
The two most popular diagnoses from those on the left are schizophrenia or some type of multiple personality disorder. They believe no sane man could actually believe in the things President Bush does so they assume he must be afflicted with some mental sickness. These people in combination with their left wing talk show hosts agree that what this President has done is most certainly criminal. They seek punishment for his actions.
This week Senator Russ Feingold publicly voiced the opinion of a large majority of the Democratic Party that up to then was only being voiced on the progressive radio shows. He is calling for the censure of President Bush over the surveillance of phone calls made by terrorists into this country. This is a precursor to the hopeful impeachment proceedings of President Bush should Democrats take over the house this fall. Feingold is a hero to those on the far left for standing up and saying what so many of them believe however nearly all his fellow Democratic Senators refuse to publicly stand with him.
We should all applaud Senator Feingold for voicing his beliefs. He is totally off base but is certainly speaking for his party. What though can be said about those who agree with him but lack the courage to voice their convictions? If a private vote were taken their would easily be 25 – 30 Democratic Senators who would agree with Feingold yet so far there are less than five Senators who have backed his call for censure. I wonder if there is a clinical diagnosis that describes their silence? Maybe they suffer from “hypocriteaphobia”.

Yeah right! You found us out, what were we thinking!
According to a recent poll, President Bush is at his lowest media ratings since he has been in office. Well surprise,surprise, surprise. President Clinton the great President of our time was just under 50% at this time in his Presidency. Why that is a whole 12-15% higher than Bush and he didn't even have to do anything to get those ratings. He could even get a tune hummed on a meat whistle and still maintain those high 40 percentile ratings. Bush has only had to clean up after Clinton and deal with about 5 things more than any other President since Kennedy or Reagan. Am I being sarcastic? Why yes. Here is what I would like to see. A poll taken on what percent the national media is at. What percent are all senators and congress memebers at. I bet you would see they are all lower than our president. I am a soldier who supported Clinton as my commander in chief and bit my lip when he point blank loathed us. Why don't all of the whacked out left, show the same respect to my new commander in chief. Thanks.
P.S. Ed Schultz is as progressive as an abacus in the new math class. Has anyone else heard about his great friend Byron Dorgan and his chief of staff, quitting to go to work for R- Dick Luger? Just wondering.
Anonymous, talk about rewriting history. Clinton did not loathe the military, give me a break. Bush is my president as well, but he has made severe, severe mistakes that has led to many many needless deaths of our hero soldiers.
Yes, Bernie Toon is going to work for the committee that Dick Luger chairs, what this shows is that Dorgan isn't a liberal after all and that Dick Luger isn't a conservative. Mr. Toon has worked for both sides over the years and is well-respected. So wonder no more. And even during the height of impeachment, Clinton's numbers were higher than Bush's.
