Democratic politicians are alleged to have no core principles.
But they surely do know how to stand their ground.
Republican politicos are said to be principled and all that.
But they seem unable to stand on them for very long.
So which of them stand for nothing?
What got me to thinking about this a bit was something Rush said this morning about Republicans already caving in the House and Senate.
I’m not surprised. If the Elephants couldn’t rack up a better stiff-spine record while they were in the majority, why should they exhibit any better record as the minority?
Now for two disclaimers:
1) I’m sure there are exceptions in both parties to the brushes used here.
2) I’m neither Democrat nor Republican nor Independent nor Libertarian nor Green (I have another post on that subject) nor Red nor Pink nor Rainbow nor Purple nor any other political affiliation or practice. I’m an ambassador serving in the United States at this particular time. I don’t think I’m a very good ambassador, so maybe I’m not better at this “standing for something” business than the politicians I mentioned above.
