Yeah, Whatever

In a Washington Post column this morning, Sebastian Mallaby pens a litany of complaints regarding the Democratic party, though he seems to think that a Democratic majority in the House of Reps would be “refreshing.”

Mallaby notes the Dems won’t stand up for this, that, or the other thing, but his main lament is as follows.

They clearly want power, but they have no principles to guide their use of it.

Two points in regards to that little quote, above.  First, as I mentioned the other day when the Foley story was first getting its legs, all politics is simply chicanery whose ultimate goal is control and power.  Second, neither party has any principles, as they both rely on chicanery to gain and retain power.  Principles are not in their realm of understanding.

Mallaby’s piece is titled A Party Without Principles
