Mourning the Passing of the Good Old Days

Gee, I remember Bush doing this, eh? Or not. No--come to think of it it was ALWAYS the Democrats.

CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: You know in the old days, maybe I shouldn`t be harkening back to the old days, if the Democrats faced this kind of a disaster in the works, you`d go back to your ones, the people you were sure are going to vote Democrat, and you`d make sure they got to the polling place, you`d get them lunch, you`d get them a car.

TODD: Right.

MATTHEWS: You`d make sure they got there and in some cases you`d be buying people to get them, not officially buying them, but getting them there as block secretaries, as block captains, you`d be getting them there with street money, legitimate but it`s a little bit old school.

"Not exactly buying them......"

HT: Lott

It was what got many of your ancestors out of poverty. Yeah hard worked help but many worked hard and never made it out of poverty until many government program made it possible.

I'm not going to even begin to try and dissect that terrible sentence, KR.

Anyway, you know, the good old days when the democrat operatives would slash the tires of the republican "get out the vote" vans.
