Reid is a Doublegood Ducktalker

Harry Reid has apparently decided that Senate is an appropriate place to attack private citizens, blatantly lie, and, essentially, make a sacred institution a tool to advance a personal agenda. Nothing says "I'm a good public servant" like hiding behind senate protections while besmearching a constituent's reputation.

I am, of course, referring to Harry Reid's recent attack on Rush Limbaugh. Reid says that when Rush Limbaugh referred to "phony soldiers" he was talking about any member of the military who objected the war. Nevermind that Rush had mentioned specific cases detailing citizens impersonating soldiers, and the fact that many of the more famous impersonators were trumpeted by the media as heroes because of their objection to the War on Terror. That is, before they were discovered actually to be honest men and women of our confidence game forces. Anyone who actually listened to the show would know that the charge is ridiculous.

This recent attack is just a way for liberals to strike at someone who disagrees with them, and is persuasive and entertaining enough to get others to agree with them. In fact, listening to Rush speak is a hell of a lot more entertaining and persuasive then listening to Reid, or any other Democrat. (I wonder if they drone so that people won't actually listen to what they are saying.)

This just highlights an increasingly disturbing trend, however. Democratic politicians are becoming increasingly willing to abuse the sacred trust we put in them when they were elected. Your personal vote is immaterial, they have the resonsibility to live up to the office they were entrusted with, from alderman to President of the United States. When politicians behave in this way, it highlights just how deficient they are. However, Democrats seem willing to ignore all custom, tradition, legal and moral boundries, as long as their narrow agenda is put into place. They have even stooped so low as to publically accuse a private citizen of being unpatriotic and morally bankrupt (a hypocrisy so blatant that it would be funny if it weren't so horrifying.) If they can attack one private citizen, then they can do it to any private citizen that disagrees with them.

It just begs the question: Who's next?
