They Hate Our Guts<\/strong> Perhaps you\u2019re having a tiny last minute qualm about voting Republican. Take heart. And take the House and the Senate. Yes, there are a few flakes of dander in the fair tresses of the GOP\u2019s crowning glory\u2014an isolated isolationist or two, a hint of gold buggery, and Christine O\u2019Donnell announcing that she\u2019s not a witch. (I ask you, has Hillary Clinton ever cleared this up?) Fret not over Republican peccadilloes such as the Tea Party finding the single, solitary person in Nevada who couldn\u2019t poll ten to one against Harry Reid. Better to have a few cockeyed mutts running the dog pound than Michael Vick.<\/p>\n I take it back. Using the metaphor of Michael Vick for the Democratic party leadership implies they are people with a capacity for moral redemption who want to call good plays on the legislative gridiron. They aren\u2019t. They don\u2019t. The reason is simple. They hate our guts.<\/p>\n They don\u2019t just hate our Republican, conservative, libertarian, strict constructionist, family values guts. They hate everybody\u2019s guts. And they hate everybody who has any. Democrats hate men, women, blacks, whites, Hispanics, gays, straights, the rich, the poor, and the middle class.<\/p>\n
\nAnd they\u2019re drunk on power.
