The article by Alfred Biddlecomb titled “ Be careful what you ask for,you might get it.” was great but the same argument applies to both parties. While it is very true that one wonders how the Republican
Party in the Old Dominion ever got itself into such a situation that it thought Jeff Frederick could help, national Democratic Party leadership is much the same.
The GOP at local, state and national levels seems to be drifting aimlessly toward self-destruction. Unjustified war, unlimited profit for military contractors, unpublicized rewards for friends,unheard of prices
for gasoline, all the result of GOP lack of leadership or even concern has lead to a new result, gopmess.
Gopmess is a newly discovered word that best describes the really humongous mess that the nation has learned to expect from GOP government at all levels.
Frederick earns high marks at creating gopmess, thus he should be the leader.
In the likely event some Democrat finds any joy in this situation, they should reconsider. Their nominee for the nation’s highest office, by opposing the counting of millions of Florida and Michigan votes in
the recent primary, has clearly demonstrated very undemocratic ideas.
Yet he, like the creators of gopmess, asks for our votes in November. Only the serious mistakes of one party explains the victory for the other. Neither, on their own merit, deserves or earns anything
other than shame. Maybe it is a time for real change in both parties.
