Michele Bachmann is now an even bigger cash cow than Sarah Palin. This is glorious news.
Democrats should still seek to reach out, for its own sake, to those who would otherwise be attracted to Sarah Palin, with her admirable history as a Buchananite battler for job protection, war aversion, immigration control and family values against the archenemy of all of them, the global “free” market, and with her record of publicly administered natural resources held in common ownership.
Likewise, Democrats should still seek to reach out, for its own sake, to those who would otherwise be attracted to Mitt Romney, the prophet and apostle of socialised medicine, who ran for the Senate from the left of Ted Kennedy.
Democrats should still seek to reach out, for its own sake, to those who would otherwise be attracted to Mike Huckabee, economically one of the most left-wing governors in American history, and against abortion and same-sex “marriage” while in favour of Second Amendment rights.
And Democrats should still seek to reach out, for its own sake, to those who would otherwise be attracted to Ron Paul, with his opposition to bailouts, wars, and the erosion of constitutional checks and balances.
However, there should be no difficulty in defeating Michele Bachmann, since white Catholics have decided every Presidential Election since 1976, whereas Bachmann’s Wisconsin Synod teaches that the Papacy is the Antichrist.

Good points, but I am afraid the Democrats are rather dense.I think the Democrats are hoping to beat the Republicans by framing the GOP as the party of lunatics. The Democrats are hoping the Tea Parties will be scary enough to get moderates to vote for them in November. They tried this strategy with Reagan and it did not work.
ReplyDeleteIn bad times like these, people are more willing to listen to ideas outside the prevailing orthodoxy, but the Democrats continue the Clintonite strategy of positioning themselves as the party of sane, moderate, neoliberal management.
That might have worked during the 1990s when the economy was seemingly doing well, but not now.
I expect the GOP to win at least one house of Congress this year, maybe both.
The worst thing that could happen to the GOP this year would be to win back either or both Houses of Congress.
ReplyDeleteAfter two years of simply having gawped at the people who would thus have been elected, the electorate would give Obama a 1984-style landslide in 2012.
