A Stable Full

   I recently visited Grant's Farm in St. Louis and saw the stables being used to house and breed the great Clydesdale horses.  It was especially meaningful to me to see the young, elegant Clydesdale colts which were the future of the Clydesdale breed.  They were beautiful. 
   Especially after listening to two straight nights full of speeches by prominent and not-so-prominent Republicans, I have come to the conclusion that the GOP has a stable full of up-and-coming, talented, and principled future leaders.  That stable is full of governors who are now leading their states out of economic misery and into fiscal stability.  It is full of men and women from a multitude of diverse backgrounds.  They are articulate, honorable, respectful people who love our country and its heritage.  It appears to me that the future of our country may be in very good hands, assuming that our country has not already become too far gone into a dependent mentality and they can get elected.
   At the same time, it seems to me that the Democrat stable is not full of thoroughbreds.  I would describe them as old, worn-out nags, no longer able to accomplish anything useful.  I keep trying to identify good, young leadership coming out of the Democrat Party, even when I try to think like a liberal.  They just don't seem to be there.  In fact, what seems to be true of the Democrat Party right now is that many of their politicians are hiding in the bushes, waiting for President Obama to fade off into the distance so they can once again be proud of their party.  The fact that so many of them are not attending the DNC is evidence of that.  I don't doubt that they will make a comeback, but I think it will be a while before they recover from Pres. Obama's failure.
  Heaven help us if the Democrats are able to hold onto their power after the upcoming election.  This vote in November is crucial.  We can our nation's pride back, and maintain it for a good, long time.
