The politics of Democratic destruction.

It's nice to see the Democrats destroying each other. After all the years (decades, really) of the slander and lies aimed at Republicans and the destruction of more than a few conservatives because of these attacks, it's fun to see the tactics Democrats rely on so heavily are now used to hurt each other.

Democrats' chickens are coming home to roost.

A liberal or two may read this and think I'm being unfair toward the Democratic Party. I challenge anyone who reads this to come up with something comparable to what the Dems did to Judge Robert Bork in 1987 or Justice Clarence Thomas in the early '90s (just two of many, many examples). Mainstream Republicans have never done anything close to that sort of smear to any Democrat.

I hope to see the Dems confused and infighting up to and through the Democratic National Convention and, dare I say, even after the convention and right up 'til November.

If the Democratic Party was a serious party I would not wish this kind of chaos on them. After all, a healthy American political system is best when both parties have something important and constructive to offer America. But the Democratic Party hasn't been serious in over thirty years. It is depressing. The Party of Harry Truman and John Kennedy is dead.

Could we be seeing the break-up of the Democratic Party? Sort of. While there may be a split this election year, we aren't going to see the end of the Democrats after one-hundred eighty-something years. No silly, dopey third party is going to replace or even challenge Democrats for the liberals and leftists of this country. There may be an attempt at such a third party but it would be a profoundly stupid thing to do and would give the Republicans a sure victory in '08.

No, we won't see the Democratic Party killed. But it will be badly beaten, hospitalized, and may have to use a wheelchair for a few years.
