Go figure
So all but three Democratic Senators voted to prevent a vote on the FMA yesterday. Go figure. So, what's the record for Democrats?
Slavery. Secession. Segregation. Anti-Reconstruction. Jim Crow. Lynchings. The KKK. Blundering into WWI after saying they wouldn't. Screwing up the post-World War I settlement, setting the stage for WWII. Extending the Great Depression by trying socialism.
Then, something good: Winning WWII.
Then, screwing up the WWII post-war settlement at Yalta, leaving Eastern Europe to fall to communism and setting the stage for the Cold War.
Then, something good: Fighting off the communists in Korea. Oh, then screwing up and getting the Chinese involved. Settling for a tie.
Then, let's see: Bay of Pigs. Cuban Missile Crisis, and lying about how it was resolved. Blundering into Vietnam. Creating a massive expansion of the federal government, which created a new underclass and horrible welfare dependency. LBJ's corruption.
Then, after Nixon manages to salvage Vietnam, cutting off funding for South Vietnam (1974 Senate vote, the most shameful in the post-Civil War period.)
Double-digit inflation. Double digit interest rates. Double digit unemployment. Feckless responses to challenges. The "malaise" speech.
Demagoguing when Reagan actually straightened out the Cold War and the economy, and slowed government expansion. Fighting tooth and nail to prevent the good that was being done, in the name of a flawed idealism that was proven not to work.
Then, abortion. Perjury. Feckless responses to terrorism in the Clinton period. Actually trying to steal a presidential election in 2000!
Democrats. The party of perjury, electoral fraud and fetal murder. If you're willing to lie, cheat and kill, then I suppose confusing sodomy with intercourse is small change.

It will take someone with a Clinton-like charisma rating, as well as a George Soros and Paul Allen treasure chest, to make the Constitutional Party like that go.
