A Boston Tea Party …(Oh So Close)

In sports they call it “in the zone” when all things come together and an athlete plays the perfect game. Off the New England coast there was once the “perfect storm” when the power of nature came together to create an ideal meteorological event. On Tuesday night in Connecticut we had the political version of a “perfect storm”. Allow me to explain.

In imperfect times Democrats accuse Republicans of cheating to win elections. In the Democratic primary in Connecticut on Tuesday Democrats turned on themselves. Accusations of website hacking, long lines at polling stations, slander, and personal smear attacks were being levied between the two candidates. This beautiful, rare occurrence should prove once and for all that the supporters of Democrats will automatically accuse ANY opposition of cheating if the candidate they support happens to lose. Such charges of wrongdoing are now just a natural instinct for that party. Dishonest elections are not the issue and never have been, instead the one and only issue is LOSING. They can’t accept losing and will manufacture any reason or reasons to try to change the outcome.

Another unusual happening made this Tuesday night a very unique evening in politics. Republicans found themselves fawning over a liberal Democratic candidate. Such overt campaigning for the opposite party happens about as often as a solar eclipse. Respect for Liberman should be given for he was/is the only Democrat to stand firm on the war in Iraq. In most aspects though he was equally as liberal as his challenger. Evidence of the complete insanity of Lamont supporters was seen during his victory speech as you noticed who was on stage with him. There they were … Jackson, Sharpton, and activist after activist chanting, “bring them home, bring them home.” All I could think was “folks this ain’t your daddy’s Democrats”. The nuts truly are happening the asylum.

The uniqueness and “bizzarro world” (a Seinfeld term) happenings of Tuesday evening were made more special with the news today of the British discovery of a plot by terrorists to blow up airplanes headed for the United States. Just two days before Democrats voted to support an anti-war candidate which is contrasted with a reminder of how dangerous the enemy we face continues to be. Republicans can now play footage of the “bring ‘em home” chant and in the next frame show terrorists being arrested in England. The only thing that prevented Tuesday from being the Tuesday of all time was a slightly closer result causing Democrats to argue over hanging chads. Tuesday really was oh so close to perfect.
