Day 1150 – The Phoniness of Conservatism and the Difference between Democrats and Repubs
Thursday March 12, 2020
234 Days until the election on November 3rd
314 Days until the Inauguration on January 20, 2021
I keep seeing those images of those right wing Republicans who attacked Hillary and attacked the people testifying at the House hearings on Trump and attacked the scientists trying to tell them the truth now all going into hiding because the Corona Virus is real and they might have it.
But that’s what it takes if you’re a Republican. Do nothing until it affects you.
I remember in Tip O’Neil’s book “Speaker of The House” where he told the story of Papa Bush feeling bad for one of his staff members because they had some calamity. They passed the hat. Literally, that’s what they did. Tip was thinking how George had killed a bill that would have helped thousands of people in the same sort of predicament just the week before. But it wasn’t personal. It hadn’t affected him so forget it.
What do you think Hillary would be doing if she was president in this crisis? Or any Democrat?
I’ll tell you what. They’d be figuring out how many hospital beds we needed and where to get them. Respirators and ventilators (the country has 69,000 we are going to need millions). Test kits? She’d have been all over that weeks ago.
Instead, what’s happening? The White House is waiting for Jared to finish his analysis.
If you are a true Trump supporter, a true believer, you’d be out in the street shaking hands and coughing on your fellow supporters.

Gotta go.
