Fitzmas: A perfect example of why Democrats lose [View All]

[brentspeak]

"Fitzmas" is just a replay of the Bush National Guard/60 Minutes/F911 mistakes: time and energy better spent campaigning and/or building Democratic grassroots is wasted on uselessly blogging and posting endlessly about scandals and rumors of scandals. People (or rather, some people) expect some "magic bullet" in the form of a scandal or a film or something else to bring the Republicans down: It doesn't work that way. It won't work that way.

Recently, I read an article about some young Republican training camp. The director of the camp told his young, well-dressed chickenhawks that (paraphrasing) "conspiracy theories and scandals about Republicans are sometimes good - it makes Democrats chase after blind leads in blind alleys and completely wastes their time. Meanwhile, we do the groundwork to win."
