Paul Newman Forgot How Democrats Acted
by Big Dog on Jun 27, 2007 at 10:07 Uncategorized
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has a new spokesperson and that person is none other than the has been actor and current food aficionado, Paul Newman. In the recent beg for money email, Newman discusses how he was proud to be involved with Democrats standing against Nixon and now he is happy to be with them as they go after George Bush. But, as Paul laments, his wonderful Democrats can not do what they want because they only have the slimmest margin in the Senate and can not stop the nasty Republicans:
“That’s why, when I was asked to send this message on behalf of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), I quickly agreed. A Democratic Senate is the best defense against this administration. I am as frustrated as all of you that Congress hasn’t made more progress on issues we care about here in 2007. But I also know that Democrats only have a 51-49 majority in the Senate — and that Republicans, with threats of filibusters and vetoes, have tried to block just about everything. [emphasis mine] Politico
How soon these limp wristed pukes forget! During the Republican Majority, the Democrats blocked nearly everything Republicans tried to get done. A great number of George Bush’s judicial nominees never got the up or down vote to which they are entitled. Democrats failed to fulfill their Constitutional duty. How many filibusters did the Democrats engage in or threaten to engage in? It was so bad that there was discussion of the “Nuclear Option” which was thwarted when the gang of 14 came to a so called consensus. The Democrats are now getting a taste of their own medicine and while I was not happy with Democrats who obstructed government, (and am not happy when government is obstructed in general) I am happy that the Republicans are using these methods to stop shady back room deals and usurpation of the legislative process by the Democrats.
Speaking of the Nuclear option, I remember writing that one should NEVER trust a Democrat. I warned they would screw you the first chance they got. Anyone want to bet that the Democrats, who so opposed the “Nuclear Option” will try to enact that very thing in order to push their agenda? You watch, they are going to get around to that. Harry Reid is already using a ploy known as a Clay Pigeon to silence Republicans opposed to the Immigration Amnesty bill and prevent a filibuster. This is how Democrats play hardball and I warned, no i urged, Republicans to get that mean and ugly when they were in charge. They refused to play tough and now they are the minority. They might as well grab their ankles and smile.
As for Paul “I am insignificant” Newman, if he wants the Democrats to have the $114,000 or so they need then he should write them a check. He won’t do that because he is a typical liberal twit. He will tell you what to do with your money because he knows better how you should spend it. Of course, he might have already given the max but I am sure he has a few Hollywood friends who could cover this without sending an email pandering for cash. Oh wait, by doing that they assume they will get much more than what they need because people will not know what has already been given. This is how Democrats always do business.
One more thing. The Democrats always say the Republicans use scare tactics. In fact, Newman indicates in the email that this is all they do. It would seem to me that the statements made by Newman in this missive are nothing more than scare tactics themselves. Typical Liberal, do as I say, not as I do…

I have been a Paul Newman fan for many years. Primarily because of his body of work in film and his willingness to contribute to the common good.
But unfortunately his politics mirror the rest of Hollywood celebrity. I’m not asking him to be a conservative or expecting him to do anything other than what be believes is right. And I certainly do not place him in the same list with some currently high profile liberals.
But geez, Mr Newman, couldn’t you have just left this alone?

……
Course, crude commentary like this is making lifelong Republicans flee the party. You ought to find someone who is actually doing something wrong rather than engaging in low-class trash talk simply because someone disagrees with you.
I deeply disagree with Newman’s politics, but I know him and know a good deal about how he and his wife live their lives. They haven’t lived in SOCA for nearly 50 years, JW hasn’t been there once in the last 30, and the two of them have given away more money to non-political charitable causes than a loud-mouth bully like you will ever see in your lifetime.
The Newmans, as individuals and as a family, are enormously kind, charitable, decent people. They just have different politics from mine. You and I, on the other hand, might agree on a few more things politically, but you sound like disrespectful little lout. I’d take a world of “has been” Paul Newmans over even a few nasty “never-weres-and-never-will-bes” like you like you in this world.
