Greene got 59% of the Democrat vote without campaigning. He had no fund raisers or annoying political ads. He rarely uses more than one or tow words to answer a question. Obama broke records fund raising and clearly likes campaigning so much he hasn’t even stopped to hovern yet. He even campaigns for bills that are already law. Talk about loquacious, he mot only crushed every other president at sheer volume of speeches, he even noticed himself when he took 15 minutes to answer a question about raising taxes. Wait a second. I don’t want to give the wrong impression. Just because he spent 15 minutes on it I don’t mean to imply he answered it.
When you look beyond the gulf mess to for instance how poorly Iran is being handled you wonder about that “smart power”. Greene dispenses with such illusions neatly. Once you see him in a debate any respectable yellow dog Democrat will know this is the proverbial yellow dog, hold their nose and pull the lever. We can call the president an idiot with impugnity… until someone yells racist.
It gets me thinking about how Obama came to
power. It all started in Iowa when the inevitable baggage of each crony left delegates looking for an out. Many threw their vote to a guy they knew least about, no doubt hoping when they fund out more he would turn out different from every other yellow dog there. Obama’s first primary victory came from people casting their hope on an unknown becsuse all the known candidates were too unsavory. Hey, that sounds a lot like Alvin Greene.
Wake up America! This is what happens when Democrats go to the polls. They confuse a political election with a popularty contest like American Idol. Popularity contests are mindless drivel, which is why so many American Idol fans were confused when they thought it was a talent contest. No wonder our founding fathers chose a republic instead of a democracy. Idol of course is a slickly packaged affair to enable a British man to make obscene money for offending whiney no talents, which always pissed me off. Who can I offend for some of that cash? Greene of course is the unvarnished truth. He won’t be playing golf, flying the world and hobnobbing with stars. He’ll just be glad to have a job and not live in the basement.
In fairness to Greene he’s not the first in congress to wonder about. Clyburn seems off his rocker to me. How about Hank Johnson I think it was who was afraid if too many people went to one side of Okinawa it might capsize.
Let’s be candid, there are too many yellow dogs in congress and now in the white house. I don’t think it’s a question if Alvin Greene is electable if enough Democrats turn out. Especially in NY where judges give some 6 votes… jut to be fair. I think Alvin Greene is less of an anomaly and more an illustration of where the old joke that if a yellow dog were on the ballot as a Democrat that’s who you vote for. There are committee heads who haven’t seen the real world since I left home in 1975. They think we owe them for trashing the country. If Greene had a chnce of being elected he would be welcomed by those dogs. As it is Jim DeMint will win. I don’t think we would be served overturning an election just because the winner doesn’t look so good once we find out about him. Otherwise why stop witH Alvin Greene.

Alvin Greene for President!
Recently I saw SC Dem officials are considering overturnimg Alvin Greene’s primary victory. How sad. It would be in poor taste to make a comparison to our president just because he’s black. Let’s consider the differences instead.
