No Tolerance for Democrat Crybabies
RECEIVED Wed., Nov. 1, 2006
Dear Editor,
Poor little Michael Ventura. Somebody obviously made him write a get-out-and-vote article that he doesn't believe in [“Letters @ 3am,” Oct. 27]. For like a bratty child forced to eat broccoli, he sulks for ages, flinging his meal at us with “reasons” why he thinks we shouldn't vote, before taking even a tiny bite, with a token statement of encouragement.
Clearly he doesn't watch the news with Mommy and Daddy, because the alleged evidence he presents for a rigged election is as much as two months old, and biased (“I saw it on TV!”). His reliance on endless quotes smacks of the lazy child who hands in a batch of newspaper clippings instead of really writing. He's the kid who says something rotten, and can't back it up with anything more than, “everybody says so.”
But like all little outbursts, it is no truer than it is nasty: That optimistic polls don't count for anything (“You're a liar!”), that voters don't care (“You don't love me!”), that there's no hope for the future (“I wish I were dead!”), and that the Democratic Party can't or won't try (“You don't really care!”). This last is particularly childish and uninformed since we're phone-banking constantly: that's where I was only yesterday.
He even perpetuates the Tarrant County hoax, started by a defeated Republican, with close ties to Rick Perry, who started ranting against the eSlate machines suspiciously soon after someone in state government started talking about changing to Diebold! Only bullies win when you gossip, Mikey, and it doesn't win you any friends.
It's said, “Those who abandon their dreams will discourage yours.” Crybabies like that are causing enough trouble for Democrats. So, if little Mikey wants to throw a tantrum, he should go to his room. We grownups have work to do, taking back this country.
