So we have it al wrapped up in a nice little package. The nuttier republicans are standing by their monkey, but others are bailing on him. We have had scandals of epic proportions, and sex scandals with various republican scum as daily treats. Diaper wearing, dick flinging scandals, paedophile perv republicans; and that's just their social life, we are not even counting the internal corruption. The monkey has the lowest approval rating ever.
Sadly, with about everything we could imagine handed to us as Democrats on a silver platter, we are in deep trouble. The reasons.
The war drags on, and our leaders are playing beat clock with the administration. We better be carefull for what we wish for because we just may get it. There is a strong possiblility timing wise that the administration will start to withdraw slowly, and by the time the conventions are over, there will still be enough of a force to hold Iraq with string, and then they pull the big plug after a Democrat is elected. Then the history revision and the big finger pointing begins. "We had it under control when Bush was in office!" They will FOREVER have put the big blame on the war ending crash on us, and people will forget about who started it.
The solution. I get tired of hearing how our "candidate" want out of the war. Now would be the time to publicly come out with a complete and detailed plan for the region that is not just some dreamed up staffers musings. A serious panel of the top people in the military and the academic world to come up with a plan BEFORE the election.
Problem two: The impeachment gig. This is so important. We MUST start impeachment proceedings to open the dirty secrets of the monkey gang so all can see. It does not matter if we are succesfull or not. If these things are kept in the dark, there they will remain. There will be no baseline of common knowledge that an average American will know that they use to reason that everything about this administration was corrupt. Without this we have no defense, no points of reference. The lies are buried, the criminals move on, and the blame for the war ending in a very bad way sticks to us like a stench.
Problem three. Our candidates are not leaders. Unless one of them stops being the DLC poster child, we will be savaged, and all those gifts of reuplicanism/neocons gone nuts will be forgotten. Have you noticed the discourse change trial balloned by Tucker the exploitantioner on his show about Vitter's sex life? You have to give it to him, he's going the way all the republicans will go, he is the trailblazer on this one, and us just waiting for wheels to fall off republicans wagons is not going to cut it if this new "how dare you" method will be used.
We have had many opportunities to go farther than we have, but our leadership is still terrified of the administration. Do you think that will dramatically change in the next nine months? We have a very serious problem staring us in the face, the election is not in the bag by a long shot.
