Gullability of the Left
May 14, 2008
In the Opinion section of the Review Journal the Author illustrates the do as I say not as I do policies of two Iconic Democratic figures.
It is interesting how politicians so easily will say hwat it takes for Power, but how their ideals are so longer than their principles.
However, as liberals go, the Rev. Sharpton looks like Rush Limbaugh next to former Ohio Sen. Howard Metzenbaum. In 19 years on Capitol Hill, Sen. Metzenbaum, who died March 12 at age 90, ferociously attacked industry, deregulation and attempts to cut taxes. Despite being a very wealthy businessman himself, he proclaimed his loyalties were to working-class taxpayers.
Yet Sen. Metzenbaum so disliked Ohio’s punitive tax structure that, six years before his death, he officially changed his residence to Florida, which has no state income tax or death tax. In the end, he wanted governments to get as little of his estate as possible.
Governor Elliot comes to mind. Bu tlets not forget those hypocrites on the Right either. From flirting with boys to drunken escapades thru town gives Teddy plenty of party friends on Capital Hill.
