Burning It Down In Da ‘Boro

By Kleinheider Posted on October 22, 2008 at 11:40 am

First, it was the Rutherford County Republican headquarters. Now, vandals have struck the headquarters of the Democratic Party in Murfreesboro. Is this a coordinated attack on our political system?

“It’s time to call a truce,” said John Wiseman, a Murfreesboro area retiree who serves as on the Democrat Party’s Tennessee State Executive Committee as a representative for Rutherford, Bedford and Moore counties. “This is senseless. What happened to the Republican office and what happened (to the Democratic party office) has nothing to do with real campaigning or politics.”

A vandal had thrown a brick with an anarchy symbol on it at the Republican Headquarters on the Public Square following a party event there Monday night.

No similar object was found at the Democratic Headquarters at 520 W. Lytle St., Wiseman said.

Burn It Down

Rasmussen reports that most folks would like to just scrap the whole thing and start over when it comes to Congress:

Congress was front and center in the national news last week and the American people were far from impressed. If they could vote to keep or replace the entire Congress, 59% of voters would like to throw them all out and start over again. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 17% would vote to keep the current legislators in office.

Do You Want What Ron Wants?

Ron Paul interviewed by Wolf Blitzer on his decision to endorse all of the third party candidates for President:

“So you want to stop Obama, is that what you’re saying?’ Blitzer pressed.

“Well, no. I want to change the system. I want — I want Ralph Nader and the third party candidates, all of them, to be in the debate. I mean, that’s the only debate. There’s no debate going on. This is a ritual. This is charade.”

Doesn’t this reinforce the notion that candidates such as Nader, running as an independent candidate, and former Georgia congressman Bob Barr, running as the Libertarian candidate and the Green Party’s Rep. Cynthia McKinney are simply spoilers?

“I say two things,” Nader said. “They’re factually wrong about 2000. If you asked Al Gore why he lost, he’ll say it was the Electoral College because he won the popular vote and it was stolen from him in a whole variety of ways before, during and after Election Day from Tallahassee to the five politicians on the Supreme Court.

“Now, I have news for you. The last four major polls, when they poll Obama and (John) McCain, and then they poll Obama, McCain and they put Nader/Gonzalez in the poll, McCain does worse. Does worse.”
