In between yoga classes and smelling flowers Democrats find brass knuckles.

I like The Politico. Great online source of timely political news that is providing great coverage of the great spectacle that is our Presidential election this year. Also, shout out to my buddy Jonathan Martin who is doing a great job covering the Republicans.

But I gotta laugh at this one from the Law Vegas Sun which is contributing to Politico this year, Democrats toughen up . Really? I mean as a partisan Republican I have always liked to call them soft on terrorists and wimps on the economy. But did they need some sort of Hard Ball 101 from the GOP to start beating each other up?

Give me break. The breathtaking premise of this article is that, somehow, the Democrats don't know how to play hardball. Really? Maybe they were just winging it when they -

  • Attacked Bush-Cheney campaign offices in 2004.
  • Slashed the tires of GOP volunteer vans in 2004.
  • Stuffed the ballot box with hundreds of fraudulent votes in 2003...in their own primary in East Chicago
  • Maybe it was 1992 when Clinton gouged Tsongas.
  • Used gay baiting to torpedo a Republican in the Montana Senate Race in 2004.
  • Told black voters in 2000 that if Bush won they would all be drug behind a truck until dead.

My party is not a group of saints on this issue but to think that the Democrats needed to learn from us on how to get sharp elbows is ridiculous.
