What’s a right-winger to do? After almost three decades of right-wing conservative rule in Washington D.C. where are we? Mired in needless wars, economic meltdown, incompetent government management and endless debt, that’s where. Yes, conservatives have pretty much controlled all that has happened in D.C. since Reagan came to town in 1980. With the exception of some fiscal sanity under Clinton and Newt, it has been nothing but borrow and spend adnauseam. China owns us because they are the ones financing all of our spending on wars and tax cuts we can not afford. This will all come crashing down soon enough. Who is responsible? Reagan/Bush created the largest debt in U.S. history. During the first six years of w’s rule he and his right-wing McConnell Congress had free reign to do and spend as they saw fit and anyone that questioned was labeled a traitor. There were no checks and balances and “w” never vetoed any pork barrel spending his Congress sent him. Now that their policies and the resultant debt are really kicking in it will once again be the Democrats responsibility to fix it. I pity the mess the next president will face. It is not surprising that even Republicans reject right-wingers this year. After the last eight years they have been completely discredited. McCain will be the Republican nominee and right-wingers are livid but they have no one to blame but themselves. McCain is pals with Ed Kennedy and Feingold and has never seen a liberal cause he couldn’t embrace so who ever wins in November they will have one common distinction. They will all be to the left of our beloved Mitch “spend tax money for pork and votes” McConnell. I wonder if Right-wingers will mock McCain’s military service the way they did true war hero, John Kerry in 2004? Will they swift-boat him with blatant lies and hold up purple band aids on their fingers laughing at his purple-heart metals? That’s the kind of twisted mindset that passes for patriotic in right-wing circles. It’s going to be an interesting election and right-wing spin will be comical trying to paint McCain as one of them but you can count on one thing. Right-wingers will never vote for a black man or woman for president so a liberal vet will have to do. January 20, 2009 won’t be here any too soon? Bring it on!
