Mostly White and
Mostly Male is Good Enough for Me as Long as…
By
Chuck Muth
The
hyper-liberal online tabloid Huff-&-Puffington Post belly-ached this week that
candidates backed by the National Republican Congressional Committee are “mostly
white, mostly male.”
Oh,
puh-lease. What a bowl of crunchy flapdoodle.
Liberals
are obsessed with age, sex, race, nationality and sexual preference. Conservatives couldn’t care less.
We’re
more interested in stuff like whether or not candidates support the Second
Amendment, the death penalty for those who’ve earned it, controlling our
borders to stop illegal aliens, drugs, disease, terrorists, murders and rapists
from waltzing in, and will refuse to take more money out of our wallets.
If
a Republican candidate is a 28-year-old, handicapped, deaf, dumb, blind, trans-gendered,
Mexican-heritage midget – even if he/she is part Irish – I’d support him as
long as he signs the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, promises to keep his hands off
my AR-15 and builds the tallest, most beautiful wall you’ve ever seen on the
border.
On
the other hand, a liberal old, bald, fat, heterosexual, white Catholic Democrat
who wants to raise my taxes, take my guns, export jobs, import terrorists and
open the borders can take a flying leap.
In
this election Hillary Clinton is saying we should vote for her because she’d be
the first woman president in America while Donald Trump is running to make
America great again.
Hello? Am I supposed to vote against Trump simply
because he’s a white male? Or even more
stupidly, vote for Hillary simply because she’s a woman?
But
there’s something even more important to me in a candidate than philosophy.
“Crooked”
Hillary, as Donald Trump rightly points out, is “a world class liar” who “may
be the most corrupt person ever to seek the presidency.” Are we supposed to overlook that simply because
she’s a woman? I don’t think so.
Closer
to home, we have three white, male Nevada Republican legislators – Assemblymen Derek
Armstrong, David Gardner and Steven Silberkraus – who all ran in 2014 promising
to oppose tax hikes.
But
after getting elected they spit in their constituents’ eyes and voted for the
largest tax hike in state history.
Worse, that tax hike included a new “commerce tax” that 80% of their
constituents had already voted against seven months earlier at the ballot box!
If
a man’s word is no good, the man is no good.
Ditto a woman.
So
this time around do I support the Republicans who said they wouldn’t vote for
tax hikes but did, or the Democrats who I know would vote for any tax hike at
the drop of a hat?
Well,
as John Wayne said in The Cowboys, “I hate a liar.” So it looks like,
and I can’t believe I’m saying this, but it looks like I’ll be supporting three
(gulp) Democrats this fall. What a sorry
state of affairs.
