I guess duplicity and Democrat are synonyms as the party’s philosophy is “anything to win a vote” (and then rule to the left, the far left). 

When you elect Republicans, you pretty much get what that they promised in the campaign, but the Democrats just posture and lie through their teeth and then pull out the European socialist guide to governing when elected. That’s why I call them Demofiends.

Latest Demofiend example?

I saw no grand reports summing up the Demofiends’ first 100 hours of promised change.  Is the clock still ticking?

I mused in an earlier posting that the ruling fiends would find some accounting trick to have the 100 hours continue until the next election when they can crown King Obama or anoint St. Hillary in the White House, there to preside over perpetual peace and prosperity, secure in the knowledge that, if you respect and treat terrorists fairly with a good liberal attitude, they’ll quit attacking you.

That reminds me of the photographer who was eaten by bears a few years ago and famously said, to the effect, if you treat a bear nicely, he’ll leave you alone.  Of course, he said that before they mauled him to pieces.

Add to the likes of GM and Ford the venerable name of Chrysler, which almost expired in the 1970s, and chalk it all up to intractable union policies and contracts. Daimler Benz, which owns Chrysler under the name DaimlerChrysler, is talking layoffs, plant closings and selling the marque to stanch the bleeding.

The Demofiends’ solution?

Socialize medicine, so the automakers can reduce their retiree and employee health costs–and let them all die younger in the process.  That’s my guess.

Another typical Demofiend respond would be to set levies on imported cars.

As the Guinness ad spokesmen would say to both ideas, “Brilliant!”

My solution: Cut the contracts, make better and more fuel-efficient cars, and cut the number of models in half or even by two thirds.  Unfortunately, Demofiends can’t buy votes–and make it in the history books–with those practical solutions.  But they can by making health care inaccessible to all with waiting lists for the most routine of procedures.

Rather than looking like cowards and being against the exercise of American power, which is what they really are, the Demofiends who seized Congress through silence and subterfuge are now planning a bleed-and-run strategy in Iraq to ward off charges of anti-patriotism while maintaining their goal of an American defeat on a Republican watch. 

This is the same strategy that brought about the fall of Vietnam, for which they flew under the radar because they previously impeached (so to speak) Richard Nixon.  Blame it on the GOP and bleed and run.  Cute, huh?’

I’ve read newspaper reports that our nemesis Osama bin Laden died of natural causes, but even those reports were hard to find and harder still to verify.  As I recall, the reports largely came out of London.

Now comes word, but not from the media, that the entire al Qaeda movement has switched allegiance to Mullah Omar and the cause of retaking Afghanistan.

Why the media silence?

While the erstwhile (not much erst left in that really) Russian dictator Vladimir Putin was lambasting the U.S. for its “uncontained hyper-use of military force,” former New York Mayor and erstwhile (not much erst there either) GOP presidential candidate Rudy Giuliiani was comparing George Bush to Abraham Lincoln and their unpopularity during times of civil war.

Of course, in Lincoln’s case it was a civil war on our soil caused by us, and in Bush’s case it is a civil war on others’ soil largely caused by us but inherent in the Iraqi social fabric and unavoidable in the absence of, well, a dictator like Putin.  Oh, that’s right.  Iraq used to have one of those, but we deposed him and the Iraqis disposed of him.

Are there similarities between Bush’s and Lincoln’s plights?

Call the cops!

Actually, it’s a proto-Valentine’s Day tradition that we may want to revive, but with one difference….
