I love the picture of President Eisenhower and his VEEP of choice, Dick Nixon. It's a few blogs down. It's almost as if they're laughing from their graves. Two insiders, deeply entrenched, in "the know" and ready to perform.
What fun politics is. We have been given the greatest show on earth. We laugh, we cry, we throw things at the TV (carefully). When we lose, we weep and sob, throw dust into the air. When we win, we weep for joy and send emails of condolance.
Then we all get a new six pack and refresh the batteries in the remote and get back to the late fall line-up.
What happened with the 1994 Republican Contract With America? Not much. What happened to unwanted babies with a Bush presidency and a Republican house and Senate? They died.
The Bible says,
Ec 1:9 That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.
My friend Alan Caruba (http://factsnotfantasy.blogspot.com/) says,
"The nation’s capital is all about politics. It’s a company town and everyone who lives or works there knows that “issues” may energize those who follow events from afar, but it is taxation and the redistribution of money that is the real business of Congress. Who gets to do that is the reason the two parties square off against one another."
