Making yet another of those insightful statements for which he will be
forever remembered, V.P. Joe Biden told CNN News just before Election Day
that, “if you look at every single major issue of the campaign, the
American public agree with [the White House] position.” But if the vice
president’s latest laugh line were actually true, why would his fellow
liberals want to do away with midterm elections?
A “public policy” professor and a junior at Duke University have written
an Op-Ed piece for the New York Times in which they claim that “the 2 year
[election] cycle isn’t just unnecessary; it’s harmful to American politics
(read Democrat Party).” For the authors maintain that after a president
with a well-developed agenda (such as Hope and Change) enters the White
House “…the midterm election cripples that same president’s ability to
advance that agenda.”
Could it be that midterm voters want no more of that “well-developed agenda
” after 2 years have revealed what it is actually about?”
There are 2 simple reasons for the left wanting to end midterms. First,
since World War II, Democrat presidents “have lost an average of 31 House
seats and 4-5 Senate seats in midterms.” Republican presidents have lost an
average of 20 House seats and 3 in the Senate.
Secondly, midterms attract an electorate “…which is whiter, wealthier,
older and more educated than presidential elections.” Is it possible that
the liberal authors of the Times op-ed are suggesting that the effect of
white voters on election outcomes should be limited or curtailed by
eliminating midterms?
The full effect of those whiter, wealthier and smarter votes was felt
yesterday as Republicans re-claimed the Senate and extended their lead in
the House by 10 seats.
Will the left ever understand that it won’t have to amend the Constitution
and cancel elections if only it will begin running pro-American, pro-
Constitution candidates?
But then, it wouldn’t be the left, would it! | T*********s
