This is what I was talking about when I called the “leadership” of this party “yellow”. How do you beg a person to run the first minute, and then throw him under the bus the next, because you don’t think he can win all of a sudden? Calling his donors and telling them to stop donating money? What the hell kind of support system is that? Here’s an original thought: why don’t you jackasses up on “The Hill” let the voters decide who’s more fit to represent the Democratic Party on Election Day? The whole precept of the Senate Democratic “leadership” predetermining who shall and shall not run for office is mirthful and despicable at the same time, because these are the same dopes who can’t decide whether to pick a fight with the majority on substantive issues, and usually won’t 85 percent of the time. In short, this party is starting to royally piss me off.
Let’s cut through the crap: the Democrats didn’t want a guy who was going to run without a script for the U.S. Senate race. Sherrod Brown would stick to the DLC’s “niiice” script, Paul Hackett wouldn’t. The “leaders” got scared at the possibility that a.) Hackett could win the primary, and b.) The Right was going to “swift boat” Hackett. He was too independent for them, and the Democrats want no part of that. Because they’re cowards. If it were up to me, I’d take Reid and Schumer, and all the other yellow Democrats up to Emerald City, and have the freaking Wizard give all of these bozos a heart, a brain, and the nerve (aka: brass balls). Soft, rich, and chewy are for Grandma’s cookies, not for political parties pretending to be an opposition or an alternative to the dominating party. I’m sick of this crap, and I’m sick of the so-called “leaders” in the Democratic Party. Memo to the “leadership”: feel free to call me when you grow a pair.
