My plan was, no matter what happened this year, that I’d keep the reporting about GOP prospects low key or negative. Lower expectations. Never put a bright face on things. Always assume disaster was just around the corner.
What this has done is made it very hard for me to write – can’t find negative stories to tell about GOPers, can’t find any positive stories about Democrats to counter any good news for the GOP. For crying out loud, the entire political system is crashing and burning and Democrats are running ’round like chickens with their heads cut off. Yesterday I saw a House Democrat get up on TV to condemn the Obama Administration suit against Arizona!
Sure, that is triangulation. She’s probably in a swing or GOP-leaning district and is trying to save her bacon…but, goodness, to step out 18 months after Democrats came in to power in a stunning, crushing victory over the GOP? This is a political turn around never seen in American history. It was a long, slow build to 1994 – took Newt Gingrich and the House GOP a decade to set that up. We’re in political over drive.
One wonders: how much more incompetent can Obama prove himself? Can Congressional Democrats become even more corrupt and out of touch? Will idiots at the NAACP and in the New Black Panther Party further alienate Independents from the Democrat party? The Democrats and liberals in general are proving an invaluable ally in undoing the liberal victory of 2008!
Just a great year to be a Republican – but, still, we’ve got to work like we’re 5 points behind and its two weeks before election day. Don’t let up for a moment.
