Few remember who Gary Hart is. To jar my memory, I even had to look him up on the internet. However, I do remember the history. Moreover, I am sure the democrats remember the lesson of that day.

First a brief reminder for one and all just who Gary Warren Hart is and was. In 1988 he was the forerunner for the Democrat party for president. It really looked as if it was almost a done deal. The former senator had passed on seeking another term as Colorado senator so that he could make his run at president. He had the right background. He was a graduate of Yale law school and divinity school. He had a history in the senate that drew the proper attention of the right people

His campaign was doing oh so well. Then, suddenly, it took a nose dive. It was reported that he, a married man was having an affair with a woman, Donna Rice. Things were said. Things were done to try to save his run at presidency. Finally, he saw the handwriting on the wall. He withdrew. And so it was that Dukakis lost in a landslide to George Bush senior.

Now that we remember the basic history, let’s look at the lessons learned by the dems. First of all, never again did they face the problems of morality. Right up front, they admit they they have none. They don’t care what kind of moral background their candidate has, they will stand behind him no matter how many affairs he has. In fact, I suspect that they would permit a man to run as a woman or a woman to run as a man. To them and their candidates, nothing matters. Moreover, it doesn’t seem to matter to those that vote for them. They have gotten their constituency lined up in lock-step behind them.

The second lesson that they learned, and by far the more important one, make sure the republican affairs get exposed, even if there are none. They saw how fast the support for Hart faded. They stood back and looked and said, “You know what? That just might work for us.”

And so it is that in every election since, or judge appointment, they have done a complete and total examination to see what they can find in their past. And they always find something, even if there is none. They have plenty of money to invent something.

You want a woman to have an affair with Clarence Thomas? No problem. Within days they find one and they likely didn’t even have to pay her much. The woman did not like Thomas and she made that clear. Did they have any proof? Who needs proof? All they need is an accusation.

In some cases, the person just might be guilty. The instant that a person in good standings starts to speak up against anything the dems hold sacred, they search out the person back to kindergarten. And, as I said, they lay it on.

Nowadays, if a person plans on running for any Republican office, they need to start thinking about it in preschool. No telling where they will go, how much they will pay to find something the person did that was, oh so unforgivable.

They have actually accomplished 2 things with this approach. First, anyone that dares run for public office gets exposed for his or her past, even if they have no past. This, of course forces them to withdraw or run crippled.

The second thing it does is that it keeps people from running. They see the damage the dems have done to others and most folks just don’t want to have anything to do with it. Let’s face it, the dems really liked President Trump, until he was president. Then they got busy digging up anything and everything. So far, after almost 8 years, they have presented nothing, no proof that he has done anything wrong. Even the woman that claims she had the affair with him was not able to prove it. And by the way, she disobeyed the law by coming forward.

Actually, any man that can stand up to that much for that long must be a man of real character. Either that, or those the dems have investigating him are real bumblers.

Going back to my main point. Let’s remember that the dems have learned the lessons of Gary Hart. Let’s remember that not all accusations leveled on Republicans are true. Secondly, let’s let that little incident in second grade be forgotten. There just aren’t that many of us that have perfect pasts. We are going to need to ignore some of those 30 and 40 year old skeletons.

By the way, some have actually reformed over the years. You might remember that Reagan started out as a Democrat. Better to look at what a person is than what he was.
