Looking for a message

Don't you find the nine dwarfs running for President as Democrats amusing?  In last night's debate they attempted to top each other in Jay Leno style shots against President Bush.  Perhaps after the 2004 election they can open a comedy club together.  John Kerry drew laughs when he said the only jobs the President had created were the nine candidates standing on the stage.  Unfortunately no one held Monsieur Kerry down and DEMANDED that he explain how the government is supposed to create private sector jobs.

John Edwards had his Leno moment when he said that the only Spanish Bush has spoken to American jobs is "Hasta La Vista".  I just wish someone had hooked him to a lie detector and asked him if he supported a real tightening of immigration policy. But these two examples are typical of what was said last night.

The bottom line was they should be President because they hate George W. Bush.  Did any of them explain anything?  Of course not.  Did any of them offer logical solutions to problems that government can solve?  Are you kidding?  It didn't happen and it won't happen.

Americans are too easy on politicians.  In our culture of instant gratification we are satisfied with late night comedy and angry whining.  The politicians know this.  The Democrats running for President are glad that you don't take the time to study the economic theories behind various proposals.  The Democrats running for President are glad that you don't know a lot about the rest of the world and the true nature of our enemies.

It is all part of this elitist mentality the leaders of the Democrat party have.  They know best and they don't have time to explain it to you.  So they are just going to act outraged and tell a few jokes.  Someday, somewhere, though, maybe someone will ask them, "What are you going to do differently?"

You are 100% correct, and would think that even some of the more adult democrat constituents must see these performances as having a crippling effect on their causes. My father in law was a democrat until 9/11. He saw the "debates" and lowered

My favorite of the entire "attack Bush" campaign, was when Liberman said "with Dean's ideas, instead of Bush's recession, it would be Dean's Depression. He is the only one with any solutions and the Democrat Party is too stupid to recognize him as having great potential. I Love it !!!!!!
