Presidential elections provide a lot of humor when you can recognize the joke.
Every few days some new, outrageous flap kicks another outrageous flap off of the front page of our nation's daily newspapers.
Now the Democrats are all upset that President George Bush threw out the 30-month prison sentence for former White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby but stopped short of giving him a full pardon. Some first class, heartfelt whining is par for the course among Democrats.
It would be interesting to know just how many abortions-on-demand were performed in the amount of time it took for thousands of Democrats to moan and groan over this pass for Libby.
The Democratic party is all about a woman's right to abort her mistakes and feel good about it.
The Democrats appear interested in the current uproar only because Bush chose not to let Libby do time in the slammer. It seems Libby's relief killed some of the joy Democrats and Secular Progressives had in seeing the nasty Republican Libby behind bars.
All of this whining by Democrats has little to do with any sense of justice. Democrats whine all the time; it is what they have become really good at since they cannot seem to get much else accomplished at the moment.
Democrats had no problem with Bill Clinton lying and not doing time. Democrats had no problem with Clinton pardoning some really seedy people in exchange for contributions to his Presidential Library. But Libby, now that is a different story because he is a Republican.
I do not really care if Democrats whine and complain. They might be foolish enough to think that they have some edge on Republicans in the whining and complaining department, but they have been wrong about a lot other things too.
Heck, I expect the Democrats to bawl like a 1-year-old baby with a dirty diaper that has not been fed for the past 12 hours.
What I do care about is the righteousness with which the Democrats and Republicans do whine and complain. If you are a card-carrying Democrat with a capital "D" I bet you read right over the "and Republicans" in the last sentence.
Both political parties and their politicians do everything in a fit of righteousness, that is politics in America today. There is not a shred of truth or integrity in American politics. It is more a contest of egos and righteousness that never seems to stop.
If you like nitpicking, pettiness, blinders and a rush for glory become a politician. It is a high-paying profession that ignores truth, integrity and almost everything else that made America great.
If you are a person of integrity and cannot stand to lie, cheat and steal, stay out of politics at almost any level, but especially the national level.
About a month from now some well-known Democratic politician will be caught lying, cheating, stealing or playing with his pants down, and it will be the Republicans turn to whine and complain with all the righteousness an elephant can muster.
Politics is like a three-ring circus with the executive, legislative and judicial branches all clamoring for attention with their self-centered, self-absorbed personal agendas. Somebody should tell these clowns they are supposed to be representing us rather than themselves in their quest for fame, glory and money.

More political articles: - Agustin I: The First Mexican Emperor (Robert Nickel)
The First Emperor of Mexico's regime was the first attempt at a Spain-free governing structure, and it failed fairly quickly. His reign had lasted roughly ten months before collapsing, and while it didn't accomplish a great deal in terms of infrastructure, it marked the true start of the divide between the centrist conservative and the democratic liberal political parties. - The Incredible Work of Benito Juarez (Robert Nickel)
A great deal of Mexico's liberal reforms in the 19th century - the separation of church and state, the proclamation of all citizens as equal in the eyes of the law and the establishment of a market-driven social system, among other things, would not have been possible without the leadership of Benito Juarez. Once an illiterate shepherd, this Zapotec native rose to become a lawyer and eventually ended up involved in some of the most important... - How Maximilian I Became Emperor Of Mexico (Robert Nickel)
It might not be a commonly known fact, but Mexico was, at two separate points, a monarchy; each reign lasted less than five years and was filled with revolts, infighting, and puppet rulers. The first Mexican Empire took place shortly after the country won its independence from Spain in 1821, but collapsed less than eight months after its establishment. The second attempt was the result of Napoleon III's invasion in 1862... - All About the Reform Wars (Robert Nickel)
In the years following Mexico's War of Independence, a question arose among the newly freed citizens as to how the newly free nation should be governed. Two ideologies emerged: the liberals wished to establish a democratic, secular government with a constitution similar to that of the United States of America... - Who Was Empress Carlota? (Robert Nickel)
For a very brief period of time in Mexico's long and turbulent history, they were ruled by Emperor Maximilian I and his consort, Empress Carlota. This regime was doomed to end in a bloody manner almost from the start, as they had been crowned after an invasion by France and were stuck in between an unfairly deposed liberal party and the conservative conspirators who disliked their practices. - The Reign And Downfall Of Mexico's Last Emperor (Robert Nickel)
When Napoleon III invaded Mexico in 1862, he had the support of certain members of the country's conservative party. Politically, the republic had been wracked with civil war and disputes over ideological reform, and the Imperialists wished to return to a monarchy. The French put the Austrian Archduke Maximilian on the throne in 1864; his reign lasted just over three years... - What Is Obama Care? (Wrath Warbone)
The Affordable Health Care Act seeks to put an end to the spiarling cost of health care in the United States. - Mitt Romney is the Presumptive GOP Nominee for President (Claire Dimmit)
Since Mitt Romney has shown his leadership and has won the majority of delegates in the GOP primary, he is now the presumptive candidate for the Republicans in the 2012 election. Compare the two candidates here on our blog as we enter the final election cycle. - The French Invasion of Mexico (Robert Nickel)
Much of the political history of Mexico following the War of Independence comes down to two sides: the liberal Republicans and the conservative Imperialists. These factions had squabbled for decades over how the country should be run, and whether it should be a reformed democracy or a religious, highly controlled monarchy. The French invasion of the 1820s was a bloody extension of this fundamental internal disagreement...
