The Parties of . . .


Well, with the mid-terms coming up, maybe this space needs to be rejuvenated.  So, with that in mind, I'd like to take stock of for what our two parties stand.  I'll try to summarize:

1.  The Republicans, the party of -

- historically low unemployment figures
- a raging stock market
- lower taxes
- deregulation
- a decimated ISIS
- revised trade agreements
- continuing discussion with North Korea
- stronger borders
- recognizing Jerusalem as capital and moving the embassy
- law enforcement
- a conservative Supreme Court

2.  The Democrats, the party of -

- alleged Russian collusion
- impeachment efforts, now on multiple fronts
- antagonism towards fraternity drinking
- wealth redistribution, maybe sorta
- ironic tolerance for those like Keith Ellison
- keeping together families illegally crossing the border into this country
- Colin Kaepernick
- a liberal Supreme Court

I'm serious - other than a liberal Supreme Court, for what DOES the Democratic party really stand, in terms of issues?  Is it really possible that people will vote Democrat in the mid-terms, despite all that's being accomplished, just because they hate our President on some kind of personal level?  They'll just cast the proverbial vote AGAINST.  And they'll do that without anything FOR which to vote.  I really hope not.  People, if that's what you ultimately decide to do, be careful for what you wish (as Metallica said, you just might get it) . . .
