While the Republicans have thrown out all of their principles and have now become the new Democrats, spending irresponsibly and greedily creating the Prescription Drug entitlement as a new Republican vote-buying scheme, the Democrats appear to have thrown out all of their senses. For months, Democrats have been flailing about, attacking blindly, taking partisan cheapshots, and generally behaving like mean-spirited, unprincipled, snot-nosed teenagers who just had their pet Congress taken away. Apparently, this is not a phemonenon that is limited to national politics, and Democrats have become nuts EVERYWHERE:
As Gov. Mitt Romney basked yesterday in newfound hero status over his role in rescuing a family whose boat sank in Lake Winnipesaukee, irked Democrats tried to torpedo his big splash with partisan politics.
After the Herald reported the GOP governor’s rescue effort, Romney found himself in a media frenzy, including national TV headlines.
But some Democrats complained that Romney was vacationing while lawmakers debate vetoes he imposed cutting dozens of human service programs.
“There are lots of people drowning in the commonwealth right now who would certainly welcome a rescue,” said Rep. Jay R. Kaufman (D-Lexington).
They have just gone plain mad.

*** Update ***
Compare Mitt Romney’s behavior in the water rescue to the senior Senator from the same state. And Democrats are pissed about Romney. Snicker.

What the hell did you expect from the people’s republic of taxachusetts?!

The Democratic reaction to Romney reminds me of a line LBJ used: “If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read PRESIDENT CAN’T SWIM.”
Morons.

I’m not entirely clear here: politicans are “plain mad” because they are — what is the term? Oh, yes. Partisan.
Well, yes, indeed, that certainly is mad, and, of course, entirely confined to one side of the political spectrum. On the other, we have only statesmen such as Tom Delay, Grover Nyquist, Karl Rove, and commentators such as Ann Coulter.
Clearly these Democrats are indeed “mad,” and entirely different from sane Republicans.
Clearly.

Gary- There is a difference between being partisan and being a lunatic- the man helped to save 6 lives, and the Dems are trying to pisss all over it and turn it into a political issue.
And I also think Delay is nuts.
John Cole
BTW, Gary- the nuttiness of the attacks from the Democrats is making me reflexively defensive about Bush- and ther man has done a NUMBER of things that really irritate me. IF they would calm down and quit trying to turn EVERYTHING he does or says (see “Bring em ON) into the biggest scandal ever, they would have much more traction. As it is, I just laugh them off- and Bush may or may not be getting away with murder because of the lunacy of the left.

I have to agree with John Cole on this one. (lightning strikes my head, tinfoil helmet grounds it out).
The Democrats are the masters of the tame, tepid, and timid rhetoric.
I can’t watch Dainty Dashle on TV without wanting to slap him Don Corleone style, “You can act like a MAN! What’s the matter with you!”
This a fighter? Kaufman will probably apologise. And tear up on TV.

Did I wake up in Bizarro world? Barney agrees with John?
But it is hard to disagree with the lunacy of this particular partisan attack.
David Perron
He agreed, yes, but he then followed it up with:

I’d discount anything he said before or after something like that. Guilt by association, dontcha know.
