Black as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love. ~ Talleyrand
Captain’s Quarters (Ed Morrissey) Economic Hypochondria — “Welfare-state proponents cannot stand prosperity, in a very real sense. The more prosperous a nation becomes through capital investment and reduction of federal burdens, the more desperate they become to sell gloom and doom to end it. Their raison d’etre disappears when market economies are allowed to function normally. They sell dependence on managed economies, and in order to survive politically, they have to paint the worst possible picture of economic success that comes outside of central management.” [You should also read Ed's post discussing the decision in Florida regarding substitute candidate Joe Negron. I believe he gets it exactly right. Jim]
Iowa Voice (Brian) Media Preparing Liberals For Defeat — “I’ve seen a lot of articles in the past week that have begun to lay the groundwork for the “after the election excuses” should the Democrats fail to win next month. I’d have to say that they’re also laying the foundation for the left to give excuses just in case it’s not the landslide that we’re being told to expect.”
Blue Crab Boulevard Clinton-As-Cassandra — “George Will on the appearance every two years of Bill Clinton and other Democratic party doomsayers dispensing incredibly bad economic analysis as fact. His column shows why the economic picture is actually quite good despite the moaning of election year politics. Too bad the media cooperates with the Cassandra-speak.”
Dr. Sanity (Pat Santy) POLITICAL MASS HYSTERIA AND THE NEO-MARXIST DRAMA — “As I suggested in mulitple previous posts, the political left acutally believes in nothing. In fact, they have almost reached the natural endpoint of their postmodern intellectual journey and arrived at the core nihilism that animates their belief system. Once reason and reality are finally jettisoned as a basis for human action, one is left only with our passionate feelings and the wonderful postmodern emotional universe.”
ScrappleFace (Scott Ott) Democrats Offer to Let GOP Keep Some Seats — “While some critics have suggested that both parties wait until the American people speak at the ballot box before declaring winners and losers, Rep. Pelosi called that kind of thinking “a quaint relic of ancient history, made obsolete by political pollsters and media pundits.” “
