The Source of Republican/Conservative Sleazery

The latest that the FNN (the Fox NeoNazi News Disservice) is up in arms about is the notion that should someone named Scott Brown gain an upset victory and win the Massachusetts U.S. Senate seat that had been held for so many years with such great distinction by the now recently deceased Teddy Kennedy, the Democrats will drag out the certification process long enough to make it impossible for SB to cast a vote on the forthcoming results of the conferencing of the House and Senate on the health care reform bill -- the final step before that bill takes the status of law.

We know, don't we, exactly where the Fox sleazebags got this idea. It is just what their side would do -- and has done in the past -- if they were in the Democrats' shoes. We remember how long it took for Al Franken to take his Minnesota Senate seat -- many months after he had obviously won it fair and square, because of the way that his diehard Republican opponent, Norm Coleman, used the courts to stretch out the process as long as he could, with the other Repubs already in the Senate cheering him on but who now are screaming for the Brown dude to be seated instantly, though that election has not even been held as yet.

This is where the Repubs and Conservatives get all their ugly charges that they are constantly and hysterically hurling at the Democrats and President Obama ecery chance they get, while praying that something, anything sticks. They have only to think of the tactics and strategies that they would pull out of the cesspool and use if they were still the lords of the realm. Then they accuse their opposition of having such intentions, no matter how ridiculous the charges might be.

Far too often they are on safe ground doing this, because generally the American public is as low on the tnformation they collect as they are high on the biliousness that they admire. But here the FNN and the Repubs could be miscalculating, because they could be giving Massachusetts Democratic politicos ideas in the event that the worse that could happen actually does happen. And if in the event that such a disaster does happen and the Democrats then adopt such a stalling tactic, I doubt that many people would blame them. And meanwhile Norm Coleman would make a great mud blob to hurl back at the FNN and the latterday Republican ubermensch.
