The Paradox Of Politically Correct Politics...

Have you been paying attention to the Primary Elections coverage?

Watching the debates?

Listening to the speeches?

Me neither.

No, I take that back... I watched the debates on Saturday night. (Most of them, anyway...)

McCain won New Hampshire (big deal...), and Hillary won the Democrat beauty contest there. (Because she cried.)

Before all of the other Republican Candidates pack it all up and go home, I hope someone will point out to them that New Hampshire has open Primaries, and a LOT of independent voters threw their support to McCain, but they are not Republicans.

John McCain is not the candidate for Conservative Republicans, and he will have a lot more trouble winning in states where he has to depend on the votes of Conservative Republicans.

Mrs. Bill Clinton has messed up and used the tears WAY too early. She can only go to that well for the reason she went there ONCE.

If she wants to use tears to get votes again, she will need a profound tragedy in her life in order to make it believable. (If I were Chelsea Clinton, I would vanish into thin air until after the election...)

From what I have been able to tell so far, all of the Republican candidates are trying to tell you that they are the second coming of Ronald Reagan without quite promising to do any of the things that Reagan did.

Out of the Republican feild, the candidate who is most like Reagan is Fred Thompson, but that is only because they were both actors and they both got a divorce.

All three of the Democrat candidates are promising to raise taxes on everyone but you, and use the revenue to put a chicken in every pot, a Band-aid on every boo-boo, and fulfill everyone's every little desire for a better life, all at taxpayer expense.

Oh, and to get us out the War in Iraq, for better or worse, sooner or later, even though that would make the United States the laughing stock of the entire World, and forever damage our ability to negotiate with any other country for anything.

It occurs to me that the Democrats have an especially difficult decision to make...

It goes beyond which candidate they prefer, which version of Stalinism and socialism they want to embrace, or which direction they want our troops to retreat in defeat from Iraq...

It's about how they, as individuals, want to be defined as people.

Are you a Democrat?

Then answer this question:

Are you a Racist, a Sexist, or BOTH?

Think about this very carefully, because these are YOUR labels, for decades now.

Which are you? With which label are you more comfortable?

If you are a Democrat, and prefer Hillary, then you must be prepared to explain why you have a problem electing a black man to the presidency.

If you prefer Obama, then why are you trying to suppress women? Why do you think that a woman is inferior to a man, and therefore unqualified and unfit to lead?

If you prefer Edwards, then you must hate women AND black people. How do you look at yourself in the mirror?

(If you support Kucinich, then you are a nut. Please surrender your voter card immediately, and seek professional help.)

Think about this very carefully, because whichever label you choose, you will wear it for the rest of your life.

Whether Obama, Clinton, or Edwards, it will not be Republicans who are keeping blacks/women/both down this time.

It will be YOU, Mr. Democrat.

I hope you are proud of your choice.
