I'm getting such a hoot out of the campaign. The dems just don't know who to blame for their failure anymore. 'Course, they can't quite let go of George W, but that's wearing a little thin with the public. I love it when you tell a dem, "Hey, the Comrade has been in office two years now. When does the hope and change begin to kick in?" Then they say, "It took years to dig this hole. It will take years to dig out of it."
Or dig it deeper, maybe? They should probably just shut up if they have no further information. They just make themselves look worse and more incompetent every time they open their mouths.
Apparently the Comrade was interviewed by Rolling Stone magazine. Maybe the Comrade is taking his supposed "rock star" persona a little too seriously? Anyway, all he did was continue to blame other people for his failure.
Let's face it, those of us who know anything about economics saw this coming. (Don't believe it? Check out my blogs right here for Spring, 2009.) We kept saying, "He's going to what? Blow a trillion dollars on earmarks? So a year from now, the net result will be that we'll still be in a recession, but a trillion dollars more in debt."
And guess what happened? Even against the "expert" pronouncements of people like Paulie Krugman and Robert (Third) Reich. Fancy that.
Harvard now says the recession was over in Spring. Maybe it was. The economy -- the free part of it -- has this uncanny and almost unlimited ability to heal itself. However, you might notice, there's been no growth. Consumer demand has not increased, unemployment has been 9.6% or thereabouts for a year or so, and overall annual economic growth was 1.6% -- very low. Gee, wonder why?
Could it be because the Comrade's policies have made growth: 1.) unprofitable; 2.) uncertain; 3.) more expensive than necessary; 4.) socially unacceptable. I mean a successful person just may find him/herself categorized among the Fat Cats, a target for presidential insults and uncontrolled taxation. So Atlas shrugs. Seems like there's just no way to stop it. Socialism doesn't work in the USA any better than it's worked anywhere else. And the dems are surprised? They may be the only ones who are.
Had to laugh at the latest "explanation" the dems are giving for their failure and their undeniable unpopularity -- yes, they're finally beginning to recognize it: Nobody likes them anymore. As John Kerry explained the other day as delicately as possible, the population of the USA is just stupid and uninformed. The Comrade takes that one step further, claiming that our stupidity and uninformedness makes us prey to people like those on the air at Fox News. Horrors!
However, what you don't see coming from the dems is any explanation for their failure, no willingness whatsoever to review why they've failed, no apologies for plundering the public treasure, no promises to try to get a handle on reality. Just more of their same old crap: "If someone's wrong here, it's got to be you." Their egos won't allow them to question their own irrational ideas and attitudes.
All the Comrade and others can come up with is some drivel that goes like: "Well, if everyone agreed with me instead of disagreeing, then everyone would agree with me and everything would be just fine."
The problem he has is larger than a problem with proper media spin. The problem he has is with reality. Reality doesn't agree with the Comrade's fantasies of what he calls "hope and change," and most of us ignorant, uninformed, and disagreeable peons out here in the hinterland have to live with the reality of the despair and stagnation that he's worked so hard to bring about. Reality won't yield one iota to his charisma.
On the positive side, I'm looking forward to a total "massacree" of dems on November 2. And please, if you're having a hard time figuring out who to vote for -- still have that link here to the roll call vote on socialized medicine. If your rep voted for socialized medicine, you can pretty much assume the rep is an incompetent who shouldn't be be allowed anywhere near the Capitol for any reason.
Save the Republic.
