Democratic Politicians
Posted 02-27-2008 at 08:49 AM by SgtWKPII
Successful democratic politicians are insecure and intimidated men. They advance politically only as they placate, appease, bribe, seduce, bamboozle, or otherwise manage to manipulate the demanding and threatening elements in their constituencies. The decisive consideration is not whether the proposition is good but whether it is popular -- not whether it will work well and prove itself but whether the active talking constituents like it immediately. Politicians rationalize this servitude by saying that in a democracy public men are the servants of the people.

True. Democrats promise every good thing they can possibly think of giving the people. That is the liberal way of doing things. I'm afraid that if the demos control congress and the presidency, our great nation may become a third rate power. However, the Republicans have not kept their promise to the people either. I am still at a loss as to understand why congress will not protect our borders.
