He Needs to "Reid" Up on the Meaning of Class

Harry Reid can't stop taking pot shots at former President George W. Bush and his family.

Talk about obsession. George W. Bush has ridden off into the sunset, refrained from offering criticism, despite the floundering nature of his successor and the Democratic Congress, and they still can't lay off of him.

Reid in a recent book recounts a converstion with former Senator Lloyd Bentsen in which the failed candidate for vice president referred to Barbara Bush as a b****. Reid commented that the 43rd president must take after his mother.

W may have exited office with low ratings, but the public always held Barbara Bush in high esteem. Perhaps Reid and others fear the bouce that most ex presidents (except Jimmy Carter) receive when they leave office and people gain historical perspective. As democracy continues to survive in Iraq and people figure out that Congress had more to do with the downturn than the president, Bush will be more appreciated. Attacking "Bar" (as her husband affectionately referred to her, is a cheap shot probably designed to bring her son out of his post presidential silence.

Regardless, combine this sort of statement with those of Ms. "white men cannot make good decisions" Sotomayor, Mr. "clinging to guns and religion" Obama, and the general goofiness that drops from the mouth of the vice president and you get a pattern of liberal lack of respect. Democrats may jump on the inflammatory rhetoric of Ann Coulter and Bill O'Reily, but those are not government officials.

Harry Reid is classless and polls seem to indicate that his constituents are starting to agree.

Barney, Mr. Rogers and Charles Manson

So you want your kids to watch a wholesome television show that may help shape their lives. Something that can help instill values like respect, courtesy, and personal responsibility. Growing up you were a big fan of Mr. Rogers, the trolley, Mr. McFeely, King Friday and the rest of the Neighborhood of Make Believe.

Unfortunately Mr. Rogers has passed away and you're not a big fan of the purple dinosaur, so the next obvious choice for someone to instill proper values in your kids is Charles Manson! Well to me that seems to be the current attitude among some Republicans around the nation. These so called Suicide Voters, seem to be following a similar logic.

They may have been a Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani, or Mitt Romney supporter and now they are saying they will vote for Barack Hussein Obama or Hillary Clinton over John McCain. Even political commentators like Anne Coulter have made the same statement. While there is large emotional attachment that develops between a supporter and their candidate, at some point logic must begin to take hold.

McCain may not be our first choice, but he is no Clinton or Obama. Just as Barney is no Charles Manson. We now have to ask ourselves do we really want to vote for a Obama-Manson ticket or do we want to stay the Republican course and vote for the McCain-Barney ticket?
