The Idiots In Washington That Make Decisions for The Democrats

11:02 pm EST February 7th, 2006 | Politics | 6 Comments

This is a gripe besides my gripe at the “senior Democrats” who never have the balls to put their names next to their whining like little b-i-t-c-h-e-s to the New York Times.

My gripe is with this

Some Democrats said they favored remaining largely on the sidelines while Republicans struggled under the glare of a corruption inquiry. And some said there was still time for the party to get its act together. But many others said the party needed to move quickly to offer a comprehensive governing agenda, even as they expressed concern about who could make the case.

Their concern was aggravated by the image of high-profile Democrats, including Senator Edward M. Kennedy of Massachusetts, challenging the legality of Mr. Bush’s secret surveillance program this week at a time when the White House has sought to portray Democrats as weak on security.

I’m going out on a limb here but I bet these whining unnamed Democrats are the same stupid Democrats who thought we should cede the whole argument about Iraq to Bush or who have continually cut the party off at the knees everytime the semblance of a semi-sane position on national security bubbles up (Dean, Murtha) because some random Republican dumbass told them that — oh heavens — Karl Rove might say something mean about them.

I thought all the people involved at this level of strategy had taken a history class or two, and perhaps had debated once or twice. I must have missed the class where they told us that historically when you have a superior position to the other guy on an issue you better run it through a bunch of hack “consultants” and knife it when one or two random idiots on the other side just might distort it and attack you with it.

Jesus.

The Democratic party has been DOA for much of my lifetime, and it will remain that way until it tells the “consultants” and the yellow-backed Democrats who won’t ever put a name to their whispers to stuff it in their pie holes and get on board with the program. Democrats do not believe in destroying the government or going to war for no reason. We believe in an effective government that will defend, improve, and unite the American people.

But wait, we might not want to say that. Karl Rove might say mean things.

Heck, no. Better we be electorally irrelevant than have that happen.

Idiots.

    …hell, we can’t even talk because the words coming out of our mouths mean different things than folks on the far-too-right conservative side understand.

    Words like:
    War. On. Terror. …a self-evident impossibility
    Central. Front. …impossible under fourth-generation, asymmetrical warfare
    Legal. …it’s impossible to “legally” hold somebody in a self-admittedly outside-the-law detention facility, or to transport somebody through “extraordinary rendition”
    Fiscal. Responsibility …billions, and billions, and billions of dollars — mind-numbingly huge amounts of money trying to build democratic castles in the sands of Iraq.

    Hey, a lot of the liberal bloggers have been urging the Democrats to be true to themselves and their positions, and campaign on them. And I agree: y’all should do just that.

    Of course, the question is: will the Democrats be, in our esteemed host’s words, “electorally irrelevant” if they keep trying to hide and fudge their positions, or will they be “electorally irrelevant” if they tell the truth about themselves?

    My guess is that the answer is: yes! :)

    I am seriously curious, being waaay outside the Beltway, just who these losers (and they have proved they deserve that designation, haven’t they?) are. Obviously these are the geniuses who chose Tom Kaine as SOTU responder.

    We may assume they are drawing room rich. But just who are the people who make these decisions?

    I don’t believe these unnamed Democrats exist. I think a reporter wants to slip a little beltway conventional wisdom into his story, he pulls the ever-convenient anonymous Democrat out of his pocket
