Sore Losers

Doesn't everyone hate sore losers? Why do politicians think they are exempt from this time-honored rule? Gore made a spectacle of himself in 2000 refusing to accept defeat. He transformed his entire party into sour puss losers by example by constantly insinuating that he would have won if the GOP wouldn't have cheated.

It's been a while, but now that we have another anti-establishment election year, we have more babies losing elections and crying about it. First we had Mikulski in Alaska, and now we have Tea Party candidate Scott Ashjian in Nevada. Apparently, this guy, like Mikulski, cares a lot more about himself than his party's ideals. Like Mikulski, he decided to wite himself onto the ballot, but he went further. Apparently, he secretly recorded and leaked a conversation with Republican senate candidate Sharron Angle wherein she asks him to step aside.

Besides being selfish, this tape recording was boneheaded. Who cares if Angle asked him to step aside?  Who wouldn't do the same in her shoes? If Angle loses, it won't be due to Ashjian, but it sure doesn't do much for the cause.
