When Will the Democrats Learn?

The Republicans are tied to the post, ready to be executed. Yet, Democrats insist on figuratively untying the Republicans’ hands and giving them a loaded gun. First, John “Munster” Kerry runs his mouth at a campaign stop and labels all U.S. soldiers in Iraq as uneducated. Da-um. A National Guard unit out of Minnesota came up with a clever rebuttal, click on the grey rectangle to view:



Then, Mike Hatch’s running mate Judi Dutcher couldn’t talk about E-85, a subject near and dear to most Minnesota farmers’ hearts. It’s not an unforgivable mistake, but Hatch’s response might be. According to the Duluth News tribune, Mike Hatch called a reporter a “Republican whore.” Double Da-um. Hatch claims that he used the word “hack.” Either way, it is clear Mike Hatch is rattled. He is frustrated and acting childish, not a good way to look coming down the home stretch.

All the Democrats have to do is not mess this election up. Go hide in a hole for 5 days, do whatever it takes to stay out of the news for doing something stupid. The Democratic mantra for the next few days should be: “Don’t be an idiot.” Democrats do not have to be great, innovative, or charismatic. They can just point at Bush, Abramoff, Mark Foley, Iraq, lack of affordable health care options, and the turbo-charged governmental spending that is expanding the national debt. “Trust us America… we cannot do any worse. Give us a shot. Vote angry, vote often.”

Yet the Dems sputter, stubble, and buoy the hopes of Republican candidates everywhere.
