Dead Americans….

Dead Iraqis….

Trillions disappearing…..

$200/barrel oil…no, that’s not a misprint

But ya know…there’s another Pollster graph ya really oughta take a gander at folks. This one here:

So….let’s use Peterr’s most excellent logic and ask:

Why are the Democrats in both houses still digging. First rule of holes is ‘Stop digging…’ ain’t it?

The answer to this question is the key to what and how and where to the progressive movement must MOVE in the next several cycles.

The evidence is out there….It’s very clear what’s going on but apart from a few posts by Jane & Co. and some by Stoller, fergit Bowers he’s clueless, nobody is talking about this and analyzing it.

Oh yeah, taking on McSame is like shooting fish in a barrel and it does need to be done. But as long as McSame is actually swimming in great big pool built, in part, for him by the Democratic ‘Leadership’ we are not going to be solving the major problems we face.

Lemme know when you realize that McSame ain’t in that barrel you’re fillin’ with birdshot, Okay?

you are in the bong household’s prayers.

John McCain:
Worse than Bush

;~P

darkblack, meet dmac.

Anyway, yes. McCrypt’s voice, inflection and manner of speaking were noticeably restyled.

but, er, what about this other trendline – election 2000 derailed by vote supression and fraud in Florida, handed to Bush on a platter by the Supreme Court, with no real protest from the (D) establishment whose voters were disenfranchised….

election 2004 stolen by fraud and suppression in Ohio and elsewhere, with partisan (R) hacks now serving time in Ohio, but again no serious resistance put up by lackluster Washington (D)’s…

from this we can extrapolate that media bias and superficial, trivial slandering of the (D) candidate combined with (R) dirty tricks might bring the vote counts close enough to steal again… so why should McCain worry about Bush’s approval ratings?

this isn’t even factoring in more war hysteria, if the war against Iran that (D)’s are doing nothing to prevent is underway by Nov 2008, and the (D) candidate scampers rightward trying to prove how ‘tough’ they are, alienating those who are sincerely antiwar enough to inhibit their willingness to support the lesser of two pandering warmongers, supressing turnout among those the Democrats think have no choice…

the way to avert this at the pass is for the candidate to seriously critique US militarism in the mideast as contrary to the real interests of the USA, as well as being obviously ineffective and morally repugnant. Such an honest and brave stance could galvanize real support from a broad swath of the country, many of whom are tempted to sit this one out, again. Courage and truth can be great allies.

without this, a (D) candidate could be pulled into the untenable position of wannabe, me-too warmongering while the media recapitulates their propaganda efforts from 2002 and tears down the (D) pro-war posturing as insincere.

so they’ll lose centrists and moderate (R)’s many of whom are intensely disgusted by the Bushist regime and were ready to vote (D) for the first time in generations of their families, and they’ll lose those who sincerely oppose wars of aggression more than they feel obligated to the comprimised, complicit (D) political faction.

so, the poll numbers now are nothing to gloat over.
