WASHINGTON – With just six weeks to avoid a possible election catastrophe, Democrats are trying to limit the damage with a closing argument that's more plea than platform: We know you voters are furious with us, but just let us explain why the Republicans would be worse.

The strategy requires an autumn influx of voters willing to view the election as a choice between two imperfect parties — and imperfect candidates on each ballot line — rather than as a chance to slap the Washington establishment that the public seems to dislike so deeply.

The problem with brain-damaged logic like that is...

It’ll work with the Dumocrat base.

Hey Democrats our hatred for you trancends anything you can possibly imagine. We are looking forward to voting you out and then trying you and giving you the punishment you so richly deserve. Hanging is too good for you.

Sure the Republicans suck. But we suck less than the dems didn’t work out too well in 2006 or 2008 for the R’s.

I kept telling party officials that “We suck less than the demos” was a bad way to put it. But noone listened to me.

1) The Democrats are worse.

2) The Republicans are bad.

Result= We’re throwing both out and replacing with better representatives.

Really? Was it really that much worse under Bush and the Republican congress? People are LONGING for the days under Republicans.

Go for it Dems. If that’s your best, run with it. We’ll see. We’ll see what people really think about that one.
