The brilliant Thomas Sowell reminded me of the relativity of the political process.

Here, Mr.H....is the take away: "...the question is whether Mitch McConnell is preferable to Harry Reid as majority leader in the Senate, that is not even a close call."





1. "....polls show public opinion turning against the Democrats, some Republicans seem to be turning against each other. Even with the prospect of being able to win control of the Senate in this fall’s elections, some Republicans are busy manufacturing ammunition for their own circular firing squad.

2. A Republican faction’s demonization of their own Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell, is a classic example. If you listen to some of those who consider themselves the only true conservatives, you would never guess that Senator McConnell received a lifetime 90 percent ranking by the American Conservative Union....

3. ....Mitch McConnell has not only led the fight for conservative principles repeatedly, but has been to the right of Ted Cruz on immigration issues..

4. The unfolding disaster of Obamacare is only the most visible symptom of a far deeper danger from a lawless administration...






5. ....Obama has nearly three more years to continue doing irreparable damage to the fundamental basis of American government and to Americans’ freedom..

6. Only Republican control of the Senate can rein in the lawless Obama administration, which can otherwise load up the federal courts with lawless judges, who will be dismantling the rule of law and destroying the rights of the people for decades after Barack Obama himself is long gone from the White House.

7. Once that happens, even a future Republican majority, led by people with the kind of ideological purity that the Republican dissidents want, cannot undo the damage.





8. Those Republicans who seem ready to jeopardize their own party’s chances of winning these two crucial elections by following a rule-or-ruin fight against fellow Republicans may claim to be following their ideals. But headstrong self-righteousness is not idealism,....


9. No doubt there can be legitimate differences of opinion about tactics and strategy on particular issues. But if you don’t have power,......





10. If the rule-or-ruin faction among Republicans ends up giving the Democrats another Senate majority under Harry Reid, not only the Republican party but the entire nation, and generations yet unborn, will end up paying the price."

Sowell does that a lot.

One of the most brilliant, and lucidly expressive, minds in the world.

Have you read his "Vision of the Anointed"?

STRONGLY recommended. But buy a dictionary.

Thomas Sowell is what Ayn Rand wants to be when she grows up.

The greater evil for the greater good, I am not sure that is the only alternative to getting rid of Dirty Harry.
 
So we're shooting for the Senatorial equivalent of the House under Boehner?

Pass

If the alternative is the dirtiest politician, Harry Reid, of the last 50 years..... I'll take McConnell every time.

Let's not forget his latest dirty trick.... Suspending the filibuster rule except in cases he cares about and won't come up anyway.

Just one of MANY dirty and disgusting tricks played by the worst Senator in US History.

I'd take Winnie The Pooh over him

Kind of clears up who the "nutters" are, huh?
 
You can't rule if you can't win. Don't run nutters.

This is another reason to despise dimocrap scum.

Our government does NOT RULE.

Our government is supposed to be servants of the people, not the other way around.

Think about this, people.

Look at the sick mind of the liberal exposed for all to see.

Hitler ruled, Stalin ruled, Castro ruled, Pol Pot ruled,

and the liar in chief is doing his best to rule.

All that work and it's aimed at dimocrap scum?

PC, it's like trying to teach Quantum Theory to a bunch of Monkeys.

Not only are they too stupid to comprehend, not only is it impossible for them to comprehend, they don't WANT to comprehend. They're much happier eating a banana and fucking like.... Well, like Monkeys in a tree.

But I appreciate the effort anyway.

P.S.

Speaking of Quantum Theory, some scientists operating a telescope in the Antarctic just discovered the echo of gravity inflation left from the Big Bang.

Which is proof beyond proof that the Big Bang DID happen and that it WAS a Creationist Event.

libturds everywhere are depressed that they might have to answer to a higher power someday. But, like Monkeys, I doubt they're self-aware enough to matter

That's what happens with 30 years of Reaganomics. Bush destroys the economy and then we have a do nothing Republican House Of Representatives.
