Obsessive-Compulsive Politics

If only Senator Bill Frist, Senate Majority Leader, was a psychiatrist instead of a thoracic surgeon. He could certainly make a lucrative practice with just the minority Democrats, judging from this week's tantrum over the Condoleezza Rice confirmation. Along with the typical liberal behavior traits of meanness, pettiness, and spite, a new neurosis has acutely infected this group of disintegrating, pathetic losers. The Democrats, with a few exceptions, seem to be suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder about George Bush's two Presidential victories, and the war Iraq.

It is pathetic really, and if these people were not so dangerous, it might even be funny. Here is this once powerful (albeit terminally wrong) party, comprised of once powerful men and women (albeit radical leftists), reduced to obstruction because of weakness. They cannot do anything except delay, stall and complain. When you see Teddy Kennedy or Barbara Boxer or John Kerry or Joe Biden on the floor of the Senate prolonging the inevitable confirmation of Dr. Rice with slanderous accusations in the name of "open debate", what you are really seeing is a world-class, drop-in-the aisles, foot stomping, breath holding tantrum. There is no force on this Earth that will prevent Rice's confirmation, and they know it. But it certainly gives them an opportunity to wrap themselves in the fantasy that anyone gives a damn about what they have to say, about anything. And it gives them an opportunity to obsess about the war in Iraq, and the president, and Halliburton, and God knows what else. Since they do not seem to recognize their own madness, the voters have begun an intervention.

The American people are quickly removing Democrats from positions of power at every election, and for good reason. Democrats cannot be trusted with our national security, our taxes, our health care, or just about anything of major importance. And how could they be? They are ill. Crazy. Sick. Americans are simply doing what any rational person would do when confronted with someone who is not rational. Take away all the sharp objects in the room so that they are not a danger to themselves or others. And who has done this to them, these self-professed higher thinkers and social activists? That dunce from Texas. That's like sticking the knife in and twisting.

Apparently, this nutty bunch of conspiracy-theorists and crack-pots is going to use every opportunity they can find to vent bile and slander at the President, because it is the only thing they have left. Legislatively, they are through. Electorally, they are finished. And morally, they are completely corrupt.

It is time Bill Frist and the other rational men in the Senate have these crazies committed. I hear Halliburton makes a swell rubber room. . .
