"This country is going so far to the right you are not even going to recognize it," remarked John Mitchell, President Nixon's attorney general, in 1970. Mitchell's prophesy became the mission of Nixon's College Republican president, Karl Rove, who implemented the strategy of authoritarian populism behind George W. Bush's victory.
In the aftermath, Democrats will form their ritual circular firing squad of recriminations. But, finally, the loss was not due to their candidate's personality, the flaws of this or that advisor or the party's platform. The Democrats surprised themselves at their ability to raise tens of millions of dollars, inspire hundreds of thousands of activists, spawn extensive new organizations, attract icons of popular culture and present themselves as unified around a centrist position. Expectations were not dashed. Turnout vastly increased among African-Americans and Hispanics. More than 60 percent of the newly registered voters went for John Kerry. Those concerned about the economy voted overwhelmingly for him; so did those citing the war in Iraq as an issue. But the surge of the Democrats was more than matched.
Enough of them, let them fall on their swords of illusion. Nobody is listening anymore.
I think the rules say that you don't have to put "Barf Alert" in the headline if it says Sidney Blumenthal in the byline.
Fear of the democrats.
Good old Sidney Blumenthal...I haven't read any of his
putrid bile in quite some time...
Let them sit in their ivory towers and try and figure out what went wrong. they'll never get it.
Say what they will, the Democrats tried to win on HATE, and they failed.
Keep on believing that, please!
What Moore-on.
I think he may be correct, the thought of kerry as POTUS scares the hell out of me!
This is hilarious.
(1) Americans don't like to be openly bought by party funds.
(2) Americans hate activists, especially liberal ones.
(3) Organizations that exist as self-congratulation clubs for ineffective activists (MoveON.org, anyone) are useless.
(4) Americans don't like the people they pay to entertain them to tell them how to vote.
(5) Americans know that the Democrat agenda is not "centrist".
(6) Black turnout didn't help Kerry.
(7) Hispanic turnout hurt Kerry.
As usual, Sid, you're a nasty moron.
Liberals need to wake up most americans do now think like them! Most americans are against gay marriage. That has been shown by the 11 states that have passed amendment 1! They need a change in there party platform

Hey Sid...It's only 90 miles away... |
And Bush is Sidney Blumenthal's Daddy, too. Who's your Daddy, Sid? Let me hear you say it, Grassy Knoll. ;-)
Ol' Sid Vicious...the sex derringer.
Dear Sidney:
You probably haven't read the internal numbers yet; to a network, ALL the talking heads said last night that the number one issue in this election was VALUES.
Oh, and bite me.
Signed,
Howlin
Karl Rove IS Keyser Soze!
