Victor Davis Hanson wrote a beautiful piece on March 23 called When I Was Young about how Dimocrats and Republicans have flipped. I especially liked the last paragraph.
I don't know quite how they did it, but the Democrats' candidate looks as at home snowboarding at a ritzy ski resort as George Bush does at a NASCAR rally. And when I hear anti-Semitism, hatred of Israel, warning about Jews in government, fury about foreign aid, visceral hatred and rude exclamations, sinister conspiracy theories, and racial separatism it usually has come far more often from someone on the Left than Right and from one educated and affluent rather than poor and ignorant.
Hmmmm. And one other thing. The Republicans are supposed to be the party of fat cats, but they have more small donors than the Dimocrats.
It's always pissed me off that rich bastards like Ted Kennedy want to take my money to help the poor. Hey Ted, you fat, bloated, drunken, murderous bastard, if you are so concerned about the poor why don't you have a bunch of them out to your estate at Hyannisport? Teddy is too good to associate with the poor. You want to raise my taxes but I bet you have a legion of tax lawyers making sure you pay the minimum amount of taxes each year. If you think the rich are undertaxed, why don't you Write a check to the gummint?
Noted populist, and lately screamer, Algore bitches about "tax cuts for the rich".
You hypocritical bastard! I remember a few years back you gave less to charity than my mother who was living on a fixed income of $15,000 a year. You want the rich to pay more taxes? Fine. Write a check to the gummint. No one's stopping you.
Howza 'bout John Kerry? That rich bastard (I got my money the old fashioned way. I married it.) has five expensive homes, yet he's a "man of the people". How many lawyers do you think he and his wife have to minimize their taxes? John. If you think you are undertaxed, Write a check to the gummint.
Terry McAuliffe. Now there is a sleazy, slimey bastard. He was bitching about the people who made money at Enron before it went bankrupt, but he did the exact same thing with Global Crossing. With the Enron folks it was horrible. With Gobal Crossing it was "capitalism at work". He's another one of these "tax cuts for the rich" screachers. Terry, write a check to the gummint.
Barbara Streisand really cares for the poor. The only poor people she knows are her servants. Hey Babs! You're undertaxed. Write a check to the gummint.
Howza 'bout that fat fuck Michael Moore. Yeah he really cares for the poor. Hypocritical bastard! Hey Mikey! Write a check to the gummint for the amount you think you're undertaxed. Yeah. Like that's gonna happen.
Nancy Pelosi is another one of these millionaire Dimocrats who care so much for the poor and think that the rich should pay more taxes. Nancy, write a check! No one is stopping you.
Ambulance chaser John Edwards who has made millions suing doctors (which has driven malpractice insurance premiums sky high) also thinks the rich should pay "their fair share". Fine John. Set an example. Write a check!
And last but definitely not least, let's not forget the Clintons. Last year Bill said that due to the tax cuts he was gonna get $85,000 that he didn't need. Funny. I didn't see him write a fucking check! Remember, before they made it to the White House, Hillary took a deduction for donating Bill's used underwear to charity. We never did learn whether they were stained or not. Eeeewwwww!
So all you hypocritical Dimocrats who think the rich are undertaxed, I want you all to lead by example. Write a check to the gummint. Do it today.
