Stupid, stupid Democrats

You know, it's getting to the point where I'm seriously starting to consider starting a "Don't Vote In 2008, Unless You Have Somebody To Vote For" movement for liberals. Because if we don't hit the Democrats, how will they learn?

Recently, they rolled out their "Agenda." A blog called Shadow of the Hegemon has a good rundown on it. But as many have noted, it has one, great big, gaping hole right smack dab in the middle of it.

Iraq!

I know I've said this before but it's so frustrating sometimes it almost makes me want to cry. Here is a president who lied his country into a war. One which he and his cabinet have waged so ineptly they've lost almost 2, 000 men and women and the hearts and minds of virtually the entire planet.

How, in any world with even the slightest basis in logic, is that not a slam-dunk for the other side?

And the answer, of course, is that the other side sucked Satan's cock on the roll-up to war and called it a sweet lollypop. And now that everybody sees it for what it is, and knows what they did, they can't spit out the taste fast enough to say what needs to be said, and do what needs to be done.

So you know what I say? I say, fuck 'em. Fuck every single last milquetoast, cowardly, tremulous, appeasing jargon-wonk fraudulent one of them. We need a leader! And until they produce one, they can just keep fucking off out of the White House.

You'll get your toys back when you show me you can use them, bastards.

ETA: At length, with a cooler head and less would-be Bill Hicks channelling, the Swing State Project addresses some of the same issues I do above.

Any Democrat serious about challenging an incumbent Republican member of Congress is wise to make Iraq a defining issue in the race. Yet the DCCC has remained silent on Iraq because the message is quite different for incumbent Democrats who...are on the wrong side of the issue. As long as the DCCC remains silent, it is clear that their message and priority is incumbent protection -- trying to minimize losses instead of winning seats.

(Empasis mine)

As long as the DCCC ignores Iraq, it is not an organization worth supporting unless your goal is to waste money on incompetence or fund an effort focused on Democrats minimizing losses.

Bloggers are calling bullshit on this strategy...
