Anatomy of the Left's Implosion

First, the word was fight:
It feels like only Air America and a couple of posts on Kos are telling us to keep fighting. Where is our media machine? Every elected Democrat should stop licking their wounds and be countering the Bush "I'm the winner" media onslaught. We need a left wing spin machine!!! I feel like Edwards is practically all by himself right now. Let's get it together people.


Then Kerry concedes:
DAMN! How can Kerry betray us like this? I am so angry! It should have been Howard Dean. WTF is wrong with Kerry and the Dems? I want Terry MacAuliffe's head on a stick right NOW.


Next admission of the real issues:
Morals, Fear and Propaganda trumped reason. Religious fundamentalists won this election. Rationality is a now a minority in the USA. Extremism can only be countered by extremism. There will be cultural wars in the USA. Abortion no longer will be a federal right. The US will be attacked again after the Sunni Triangle is leveled. The Housing Bubble will burst. The raising federal debt will cut baby boomer retirement. Canada is not a new home if you have no money. The coming Dark Ages in the USA will reinforce religious extremism not enlightenment.


Next, sober advice
If you're a Democrat, here's my advice. Do what the Republicans did in 1998. Get simple. Find a compelling salesman and get him ready to run for president in 2008. Put aside your quibbles about preparation, stature, expertise, nuance, and all that other hyper-sophisticated garbage that caused you to nominate Kerry. You already have legions of people with preparation, stature, expertise, and nuance ready to staff the executive branch of the federal government. You don't need one of them to be president. You just need somebody to win the White House and appoint them to his administration. And that will require all the simplicity, salesmanship, and easygoing humanity they don't have.


Finally, denial, blame and hatred
The terrorists are not in Iraq, or Iran. They are in the Vichy government in DC.

Support the troops that oppose them, wherever they may be.

Impeachment 05'

Cheney first.
Who is printing the bumper stickers?
