Washington Tools Offers Wing Nuts

Here they come in droves and I knew they would. It would only be a matter of time. That's how these things go. They, being the assorted wing nuts in Washington of course, and the left wing, lame stream media (to borrow a phrase from Bernie Goldberg).

Here they come, indeed, and they've brought shovels with them.

The thing is, we're drawing nearer to the mid-term elections in November. Clearly the democrats are out of favor with the American people, and they know this. One need only look out their window and see that a very strong conservative third party movement is well under way in this country, and it's been born out of Washington's failure to get the work of the people done. It's been born out of a discontent that's spreading like wildfire.

This, of course, bodes well for the republicans, even if some would say that voting for republicans is akin to simply voting for the lesser of two evils right now. But just the very fact that the republican party has a strong chance of uprooting the stranglehold the democrats are currently enjoying the power of having scares the hell out of them. The left wing is now scrambling to save themselves from what I think will be a decisive, and grinding defeat.

Here's where folks start clutching at straws.

What I'm talking about is all the news out now about the resignation of the RNC chief of staff surrounding a scandal over lavish spending by republicans, using campaign contributions for booze, and prostitutes, and flying on private jets while the economy was in a free fall, and regular Americans were suffering hard financial times. The left wing is going to try and make a huge story out of this. They need to do all they can to divert the focus off of their own massive spending and the health care bill they just passed that no one wanted.

Might I only add here the incredulity of anyone on the left, media or otherwise, to scoff at spending too much money. Haven't they sort of made an art out of doing exactly that?

Yes. True, these were campaign contributions. The money they spent on these lavish items were paid by the folks expecting the money would go to advancing the cause of the republican party. It is deplorable. No doubt about that. This should not have happened. But how in the world is this comparable to what the democrats have done since they've had all the power? Trillions of dollars of taxpayers money have been squandered away on foolish programs and on an undeniable socialist agenda. And what of the results? Sure, in their eyes the democrats had a massive victory with their health care bill. But if 52% of the American people said no to it, then how can this be noted as an accomplishment? And what about the spending that hasn't even hit the books yet?—like say, the real costs coming farther down the line when this health care bill really get it's wheels turning.

The wing nuts are going to make all they can out of this. And this is, of course, just the tip of iceberg as well. We all know that. Like I said, they've got their shovels ready and they're going to be looking deep for any smidgen of dirt they can find.

Granted, mudslinging will come from both sides. It always does. But clearly this time around the democrats come to the mud fight already well covered in the stuff, so calling the other guy dirty is the pot calling the kettle black.

What I want to see is an honest and spirited debate from all sides, republican, democrat, and tea party alike. I want to hear what is going to be done, and I want details. Enough is enough with wishy-washy verbiage that doesn't really tell us anything substantive. And I don't want finger pointing by any side in the debate. "It's all Obama's fault" will get us as far as "It's all Bush's fault" got the democrats.

Still, if any scandal is going to be exposed, hashed out, dissected, and made into a "big effing deal," this one is the one to start with, and it's a doozie if ever there was one, let me tell you—friggin' Obamacare is as big as it gets.
