in just a few moments, you will see yet another attack ad released in the north carolina senate race.
this one is unique, however, because it goes after the entire democratic party and tries to frame kay as a washington pawn whose nomination to run for senate was based solely on the desire of “these liberals” to control all branches of government.
well, true. that is the ideal for any party- a president in power and a 60 count filibuster proof majority in the senate. since the democrats actually have a chance of success here, several key senate races are being fought to the death.
because, obviously, on the flip-side, the republicans can’t think of anything worse than a democratically controlled legislative and executive branch. one is bad enough. but two?
enough talk, let’s cut to the newest creation of the nrsc.
first- it appears that national republican senatorial committee is conceding the presidency. well, not condecing, per se, but there is a definite allusion to obama winning the presidency.
second- the democrats are within arms reach of a congressional majority. that is a major cause for concern for any republican or independent who who would like to retain the checks and balances that a more closely tied election offers. although, in a heartbeat, wouldn’t the republicans love this sort of widespread majority?
yeah, well, who wouldn’t.
(answer: independents)
third- this might not bother all independents, and heres why.
in the minds of the people: divided government —> partisan gridlock—> inefficiency of government
so for those that share liberal views, the one party in power system might be a welcome change from this paradigm of constant political argumentation.
just until, that is, the party in power decides to abuse this position.
lose-lose, but its better than anarhcy.
