MSNBC's Ed Schultz apparently doesn't believe in this whole "democracy" thing we've got going on here in the United States of America. You know — where citizens get to vote for their elected officials and the one with the most votes wins? (Please don't bore me with the "Gore won in 2000" whining. He didn't. In fact, it was his choice to go for a manual recount only in four cherry-picked Florida counties where he thought he might do best, rather than a statewide recount, because he knew Bush beat him in Florida.) On Friday on his radio show, Schultz said he would be willing to cheat in Tuesday's Massachusetts special election to fill the late Sen. Ted Kennedy's seat in order to keep the seat in the Democratic column. The race is in a dead heat, but Republican Scott Brown seems to be surging as Martha Coakley (D) stagnates. This, in the most liberal state in the union!
Schultz: "I tell you what, if I lived in Massachusetts I'd try to vote 10 times. I don't know if they'd let me or not, but I'd try to. Yeah, that's right. I'd cheat to keep these bastards out. I would. ’Cause that's exactly what they are."
Can't you just imagine the outrage by Democrats and the media if such a statement had been made by Rush Limbaugh?
Democrats are already keeping those so-called "bastards" out of any and all healthcare talks, and seem to be flipping the proverbial bird to all Americans by refusing to let us all see and hear what's going on. Democratic congressional leaders and their left-wing mouthpieces such as Ed Schultz are placing their colleagues in the difficult position of having to swallow the anti-democratic maneuverings, or do the unthinkable and speak up, speak out and put democracy and country ahead of party loyalty.
