DEMOCRATS’ LANGUAGE TURNS PITSY

When a person’s speech digs the pits, dirt concepts aren’t far behind. Language may be impulsive, but even impromptu language reveals a cerebral position.
Such is the case with the recent Dem debate. The language was of a detention home’s verbiage — not very high but very predictable.
If nothing else, the nomenclature spoken by nine Dem Prexy wannabes is sad at best and deplorable at worst. They simply could not rise to the hoped-for prestigious occasion of a debate forum. In fact, as a few from the world watched, the show-and-tell became increasingly irritating if not depressing while minutes ticked along toward oblivion.
How can nine persons with supposed intelligence wallow so grandly?
Evidently they are either max weary or truly have nothing worthwhile to say. It very well could be the latter; obviously, if they are weary, it’s not from checking out the lexicon for precision terminology by which to express cogent concepts for a thinking audience.
"Phony." "Liar." "Miserable failure." These were the lowbrow terms spewed forth against United States President George W. Bush.
As Rep Chairman Ed Gillespie pointed out on Sunday’s MEET THE PRESS, "THE WORDS WE'RE HEARING FROM THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES ARE SO BEYOND POLITICAL DEBATE. THIS IS POLITICAL HATE SPEECH."
Absolutely true. Hate speech.
There is venom there. It showed on their faces, their demeanor. This was not statesmanship; this was schoolyard fisticuffs. And that’s what we’re gearing up for till next year’s elections? More ho-hum for those of us who have more productive head-think than what the nuisance nine spread center stage.
"If you saw the debate the other night with the nine presidential candidates, I think history will show this field has taken presidential discourse to a new low," Matt Drudge (DRUDGE REPORT) quoted Gillespie as saying.
"Mondale never said Reagan was a miserable failure. When Bill Clinton ran against George Bush, he didn’t compare him to Saddam Hussein or the Taliban. When Bob Dole ran against Clinton, he didn’t say he was a phony or liar," Gillespie elaborated.
Enough said. Those with even a shred of culture get the point. And as far as the Dems’ blunt points are concerned, we got ‘em and we dumped ‘em. Thanks but no thanks, Dems.
Go fish. |
