As I read this story on FoxNews.com, the idea for the title of this blog came to mind. Have you really ever thought about how easy it is to be a Democrat? Take for example a couple of paragraphs from that report:
‘But they could expect a chilly reception on Capitol Hill. Even a top Democrat in charge of evaluating their aid requests made it clear he was eager to avoid voting on a bailout. Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, wrote to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Wednesday asking the central bank chief whether there was anything stopping him from using his considerable lending authority to help the automakers.
And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said it was up to the Bush administration to unilaterally rescue the Big Three with loans drawn from the $700 billion Wall Street rescue fund, since Congress was still unwilling to do so. “I just don’t think we have the votes to do that now,” he told The Associated Press.’
I have taken the liberty to place in bold some of points I’d like you to ponder. Does anyone else see a fundamental problem with this? What this quote really comes down to is the Democratic party wants a bailout, pushes for a bailout, but when it comes time to take responsibility for the bailout, they want President Bush and his administration to push it through. Oh how easy it is to be a Democrat.
Another example, found here, shows how easy it is to be a Democrat at the highest level.
“I suspect the American people would be troubled if I selected a treasury secretary or a chairman of an economic council at one of the most critical economic times in our history who had no experience in government whatsoever,” – President Elect BarackHussein Obama
First of all, let’s forget about the part where he talks about bringing someone in with no experience in government, as that is a discussion for another day. What I’d like you to focus on the is fact that nearly every person The One has brought in to his new administration are old-school Democrats from previous administrations. What that says to me is that it’s way easier to do something that’s been done than to do something new. Another reason it’s so easy to be a Democrat.
Let me leave you with this thought: I guess campaigning as a party on the slogan “Change we can believe in” is great until you’re elected. Then the slogan becomes “Change. People actually believed it!” Thanks, Democrats, for giving us…uh…hope?
Hmmm, you make a good case for becoming a Democrat.
As I was reading this the thought that came to my mind is Democrats are all talk and no action. They fluff things up and say this and say that but when it comes down to it, they are a bunch of bums.
