THE MID-TERM ELECTION BLUES

Democrats got what you might call an old fashioned ass whooping last night. Annihilated. Completely and utterly humiliated. This became possible because most Democrats are trying to be moderate Republicans, including the President. If you want moderate and right-wing Republicans to be in charge, you are going to vote for the real things, not a Democratic impostor. Democrats are failing to tell a story that is different from Republicans. We do not support the rich getting richer; we are for gun control; we are pro-choice; we are against perpetual war; we support social programs to help the poor; we should be demanding universal health-care; raise the ceiling on social security; make corporations pay their fair share of taxes; and quit apologizing for being liberal. If Democrats cannot spell out a different story for the American people, they should just let the Republicans be in charge. Maybe whine a little. But forget about winning elections. You can't beat the real thing: a right-wing, white, Republican, Christian, male, who was not properly potty trained until age 27.
