Topic: Politics & Elections
If you’re wondering how next month’s elections are going to go, permit me to sponge away the uncertainty: Republicans are going to expand their majority in the House and take control of the Senate. How do I know this? Because MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow is whining that the GOP is plotting to steal the election. In other words—let the excuse-making begin!
Yes, yes, I’m sure than in their saner moments Maddow and other leftie nosebleeds know that the Democrats’ impending electoral rout is due mainly to the public’s perception of Barack Obama’s incompetence, an image problem fully and justly shared by his party. But though Maddow & Co. would rather sacrifice a limb than admit it, the problem goes deeper. “Answer: raise taxes! Now what was the question?” That pretty much sums up the Democratic governing philosophy in the Age of the Lightbringer. As for campaign strategy, bombast about “inequality” and the “war on women” falls flat at the feet of Mr. & Ms. Flyover America, who’d just like to see the economy performing as it did when Ronald Reagan and even Bill Clinton were hanging out in the Oval Office.
But whine on, Rachel. Your lament is music to my ears…
