The type of gutter politics and incivility that has taken over Washington, and by extension, much of the nation, was brought to the capital by the Clintons and the “New Democrats” who were/and still are the old Sixties radical progressives and Communists of the Far Left who took over the Democrat Party machinery during the decade of the 70s after George McGovern’s failed attempt at the White House; and they have had a choke hold on the DNC since then, and have defined the conduct of politicians from their ranks ever since.
While projecting this type of behavior on their opponents, they conduct the most vile and vicious personal attacks on their opponents, while decrying the very behavior they themselves conduct during and following their campaigns for public office. This is classic Marxist Dialectics and it will not disappear until the militant radicals are voted out of office, and are political leadership of the DNC and its adjuncts and functional tributaries in every state are removed from the body politic by the American people through local, statewide, and national elections. This will take an entire generation to accomplish, and they will not go down without a fight.
While they cannot govern effectively, or be trusted with budgets or be expected to conduct good foreign policy, the Left does one thing no one can do better than they; they know how to run an effective and winning campaign for public office. They also are very good at networking with other people and area very adept at using the system to their ends. They have no equal when it comes to funneling tax payer money for their favorite causes, and using these to build a solid base they can always expect to use in getting reelected every term. This is how they control municipalities and enjoy mayors that are voted in perpetuity with friends, family members, and people of interests working behind the scenes on their behalf in getting out the vote. I witnessed this firsthand when I lived in Hudson County, New Jersey. I also witnessed lifelong Republicans switch parties and run as Democrats because they were not getting elected as Republicans. They now hold the office of mayor of West New York (Sal Vega), and are in the House of Representatives (Albio Seres).
To be sure, there are some good people within the party, but the party from the top down is corrupt to its core, and it is controlled by party hacks who are in reality completely out of step with the people they claim to represent. This is why so many of them lost to the GOP on November 2nd, 2010’s midterm elections, and this is why the party leadership continues to act and make public statements which have no basis in reality, because it is does not see the people’s vote as a repudiation of their policies and the public’s disfavor, but the electorate’s displeasure with the economy. And while this may be part of the reason for the trouncing the Democrats received that fateful Tuesday night, it is far not the reason for its displeasure with the Democrats.
If they fail to understand this, and rectify it by removing the radicals from positions of leadership from their ranks, 2012 will mark the end of the Democrat Party as a viable political entity with the American electorate, and Barack Hussein Obama will be a one term president whose persistence will have led him and his party into political oblivion.
