They're Simply Poor Losers

Well, we here at the Wayne County Conservative Examiner's Office really do hate to belabor a point. We really do. But with that said, we're about. If you would be so kind as to indulge us, we'll promise to drop the issue for, well, a day or two.

Yesterday we spoke of the selfishness of the recall movement currently being waged against Michigan's elected officials. It won't work, and, indeed, it reeks of self interest on the part of the parties involved. But we have pointed that much out already. Maybe it's time to point out the unmitigated arrogance of it all.

The recallers want what they want because they want it, and taxpayers be damned if it costs more in the extra elections and extra work for the Secretary of State's office. Never mind that it reeks of self interest, of the special interests demanding that the taxpaying public ante up because those interests want them to. Never mind that the recall movement threatens to gum the work of the democracy by calling for elections between elections, even though we have elections frequently enough to satisfy any rational person's philosophy. We can almost foresee recall effort after recall effort well into the future anytime the liberals don't get their way, because that's how they operate. They're going to to force their will on us, somehow, because they don't care what the people said in 2010.

The current recall fever in Michigan is little more than a temper tantrum. The liberals are acting like the kid who owns the football: government is their sport, thank you very much, and we are to play by their rules. It is nothing more than sour grapes, and nothing less than being poor losers.
