I left the Republican Party and the diseased conservative “movement” about 25 years ago. I was simply too disgusted by the growing religious fanaticism, and by tolerance for racist bastards like Jesse Helms. There were other reasons as well, but I won’t go into them. Suffice it to say I started voting Democratic in 1992 and I haven’t regretted it one bit. The only thing that has exasperated me sometimes is the lack of backbone and fire in the national party leadership. Being a somewhat combative and confrontational person, I stand up and fight for what I believe. I am an activist. I have worked as a volunteer in many Democratic campaigns and have fought the good fight even for causes that didn’t look promising.
Now, understand me: we should be winning this thing by 20 or 25 points. But we’re not. Hillary Clinton faces a media establishment that largely despises her and blows every so-called “scandal” into a national issue. Donald Trump, while receiving strong criticism, gets away with political murder constantly. Can you imagine—CAN YOU IMAGINE—the shitstorm that would be sweeping the media if Hillary Clinton had accepted a Purple Heart as a gift while saying, “I’ve always wanted one of these?” Can you imagine the shrieking we would hear if she had refused to release her taxes? If she had run a scam “university” that had bilked ordinary people out of thousands of dollars? If she had declared bankruptcy four times? If she had been the target of FIFTEEN HUNDRED lawsuits for non-payment/non-compliance? If she had threatened to kill her opponent? If one of her chief campaign aides had said Trump should be shot for treason? If she had stirred up one-tenth of the racial and ethnic hatred Trump has deliberately incited? If her campaign manager was a vicious white supremacist asshole? If her other manager was associated with one of the worst misogynists in America (Phyllis Schlafly)? If one of her advisors was a Holocaust denier? If she had had a campaign manager that had accepted $12.7 million in bribes from the Russian government? SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVEN FROM THE RACE, and you and I both know it. There is a monstrous double standard that she is up against. For 25 years she has been the target of the ugliest, most vile, most prolonged hate campaign in American history. And it has had its effect. That’s simply the reality. The election is close.
You know what I do in such cases?
I WORK HARDER. I FIGHT HARDER. AND BY GOD, I WIN.
