Dems Move To Close Anti-Reid PAC

Because, you know, Democrats are all about democracy, right?

It was a Democrat named Harry who said, “If you can’t stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.”

Now another Democrat with less fortitude, but with the same first name as our 33rd President is feeling a little heat, so he’s asking for a court order to turn off the stoves and ovens.  The Chairman of the Democratic Party in the home state of Senate Majority Harry Reid “filed a complaint” yesterday with the Federal Election Commissions (FEC) in an effort to shut down Dump Reid PAC, an outfit set up by Chuck Muth, a libertarian activist In Nevada working to reform the GOP.

Nothing says Democracy like totalitarism...

You know Public Officials have stayed their welcome when they begin acting like royalty, and their minions act like the Stasi....

This is the first shot in the battle for a Permanent Obama Presidency.

Welcome to the United States of Dictatorship.

Well, maybe it'll go to SCOTUS and they'll finally kick McCain-Feingold and such to the curb. Probably not, but I can hope.

They can try to shut down whatever they want, but in the end, someone is going to have to come out and enforce it. Either regular people pick up a rifle and stand in the doorway and say NO, or they win. Make your choice.

Oh. I suggest they change the name of the PAC to "Dump Dingy Harry" or "Dump the Whiner".

How about "Honorable Americans Respectfully Requesting You Reimburse Expenses Incurred Defeating Socialist Unamerican Criminal Kruschevesque Senators?"

Makes a great acronym!

Just remember this the next time some Democrat pol gets sanctimonious about "counting every vote." Or the next time they drone on about standing up for "the little guy." Or their support for "grassroot organizations." Or... well the list goes on and on.

And, come to think of it, this is precisely what ticks me off most about the Democratic Party leadership-- there is NO principle that they will stand up for today that they won't turn around and actively undermine tomorrow, if it's in their personal interest to do so. In other words, there is NO principle that will not be jettisoned the moment it might actually cost them something to uphold.

And I think there's a name for "principles" that you only uphold when it is convenient to do so: bullshit.
