Politics As Usual

It's not just Republicans who are mad at Republican politicians. Democrats are mad at Democrat politicians too.

Apparently Democrats believe they can win in 2006 by standing aside and letting the GOP self-destruct and then politely slipping into their committee chairs when no one's looking. Do you think Karl Rove has any intention of making it this easy? Think again. And in the meantime, voters like me are choking on disgust, waiting in vain for the punchline when we read about the latest failure of the Democrats to stand for anything.

Dear Howard Dean, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Rahm Emanuel, et. al.: You are dangerously close to me spending November 7 on my couch with a pint of Chunky Monkey and the sixth season of The West Wing. I'm not going to vote for people who don't seem to give a damn about anything. This isn't your last warning -- but it's close.

Senator Schumer (along with Governor Rendell) is behind the selection of Bob Casey to run for Senate.
