Let me get this straight, John. So when I even utter a word of support for our president, I’m labeled as a sheep mindlessly following the party line. But when a Democrat doesn’t “mindlessly follow the Democrat Party line,” he’s a “sellout?”
So much for the party of tolerance and diversity.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the only instance of that. Justice Clearance Thomas, an African-American who many liberals think is supposed to vote in a liberal fashion because of his skin color, dares to break with his race and votes in a conservative way and all of a sudden he’s constantly labeled as a racist and an “Uncle Tom.”
And now not only is Bush the equivalent of Adolph Hitler, but he is now apparently also the equivalent of Satan. Satan? I may not like many Democrats as my political leaders, but I certainly don’t think they’re Satan. I’m not going to vote for Senator Kerry when President Bush is on the ballot, but he’s certainly not as bad as Hitler.
Oh, and by the way, I wouldn’t class Senator Zell Miller, someone who won his last election with 58% of the vote against six other candidates (an unbelievably high percentage considering the number of opponents he had) and former 2-term governor as a “political burnout.”
Nor would I call Senator Tim Sheldon, the Chair of the Economic and Development Committee, the ranking member of the Land, Use & Planning Committee, a dedicated public servant since 1986, and someone who only a year and half ago won 78% of the vote a “political burnout” or “illegitimate” as you seem to think.
Just because you don’t like someone’s vote, it doesn’t mean they’re a Satanic, politically burnt-out sell out.
