Shadenfreude

I fully understand the shadenfreude Republicans in New Mexico feel over troubles with the Democratic caucus. I hope conservatives will continue to hoot, snort and cat-call. Their letters to the editor serve as an unneeded reminder of just how mean-spirited and uncharitable true conservatives are. Laugh your asses off — perhaps that will take the sting away from landslide losses for conservatives in the Fall. Snicker all you like — it may distract you from your own party’s collapse and the premature end of the “generation of conservative rule” envisioned just 4 years ago by BushCo.

Every primary and caucus has shown one thing: Democrats are fired up as never before. Twice as many Dems are voting as Republicans. Unless the Republicans find a way to suppress voter turn out or totally disgust everyone — still possible; call Karl Rove — Republicans should hang on to anything that makes them happy for the time being. Democrats won’t begrudge you one last haw-haw. mjh

THE DEMOCRATS can’t run their own primary, but they want to run our country?— S.S. [mjh: Right, there’ no difference between volunteers and professionals, which may be why conservatives want an all volunteer government.]

WHEN NO ONE’S there to bail them out, it’s interesting to see just how inept the Democrats are.— M.L.C.

I THINK IT was Will Rogers that said, “I don’t belong to an organized political party. I’m a Democrat.” It must be an embarrassment to be a New Mexico Democrat. I’m glad I’m not one.— A.J. [mjh: Not half as glad as we are that you aren’t one.]

In the last election we were reduced to banana-republic status with the mandate by the Democrats we had to use paper ballots. There are a lot of things you can fix, but stupid is not one of them.— J.M. [mjh: Straight from the horse’s mouth.]
