PUBLIC ENEMIES: DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS

The symbol of the nonexistent Balladeer Political Party

Well, at least those Democrats and Republicans who hold elected office. In an election year the nonsense flows even more frequently from those white-collar criminals. For overseas readers and people in their teens and below, let me cut through some of the garbage being spoken. Feel free to check the veracity of what I’m about to say on any website you want.

ONE: PRESIDENTS LOVE THE EASY EXCUSE OF BLAMING EVERYTHING BAD ON THEIR PREDECESSOR WHILE TAKING CREDIT FOR EVERYTHING GOOD THAT HAS HAPPENED. Obama-worshippers are ridiculous for still blaming Little Barry’s messes on the execrable George W Bush. Clinton blamed  G.H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan. Reagan blamed Jimmy Carter for everything. Carter blamed Ford. It’s meaningless. Presidents SEEK OUT the job. It’s not like jury duty.

TWO: BOTH PARTIES HAVE MADE STATEMENTS REFUSING TO CONSIDER ANY SUPREME COURT NOMINEES IN AN ELECTION YEAR WHEN THE OPPOSING PARTY HOLDS THE PRESIDENCY. Obama has sunk even lower than I would have thought he could sink with his non-stop lies about the appointment procedure. Sure, a president can nominate, but THE SENATE IS AN EQUAL PARTNER IN THE PROCESS. THEY DON’T HAVE TO OBEY A TIMETABLE LAID DOWN BY A PRESIDENT.
