It’s been a busy mon…

It’s been a busy month here at Payton Place (the house, not the web site). Hence the dearth of updates. But here’s one for ya’.

After the tragic death of Sen. Paul Wellstone, Minnesota Democrats were all over Republicans because of polling the Republicans were doing. Complaining that Wellstone wasn’t even buried yet, Democrats accused Republicans of bad taste, at least, and heartlessness, at worst. How could Republicans be concerned with politics when the state was mourning? How inconsiderate to the Wellstone family!

The next day came the Wellstone memorial service, which became just another political rally, with politicking coming from the very Wellstone family that (supposedly) was offended at it 24 hours before, and from Democrat leaders that were tsk-tsk-ing that sort of behavior on the previous day’s evening news.

Surprised? Not me. As I’ve said before, it appears the the die-hard Democrat voter base consists mostly of folks with extremely short attention spans. They don’t remember, or care, what you said yesterday. They only care about what you’re saying today (and never mind what you’re doing; only intentions really matter). These folks are easy prey for Democrats who change their tune as soon as the wind blows a different way (compare Clinton’s governing via poll vs. Reagan’s governing based on his pre-existing principles).
