"The Democrats are doing everything they can to blow this presidential election. This is a skill that comes naturally to the party. There is no such thing as a can’t-miss year for the Democrats. They are truly gifted at finding ways to lose.Jimmy Carter managed to win the White House in 1976 by looking pious and riding a wave of anti-Watergate revulsion. After four hapless years, he dutifully handed the keys back to the G.O.P.
Bill Clinton tried hard to lose, with sex scandals and whatnot, during the 1992 campaign. But Ross Perot wouldn’t let him. Mr. Clinton won with a piddling 43 percent of the vote. For eight years, Mr. Clinton tried to throw the presidency away (with sex scandals and whatnot), but he was never able to succeed.
That’s been it for the party for the past 40 years. The Democrats have become so psychologically battered by these many decades in the leadership wilderness that they consider the Clinton years, during which the president was impeached and they lost control of both houses of Congress, to have been a period of triumph."
Bob Herbert, of the New York Times, finally setting the record straight
How anyone thinks that's a record that'll win over the American public is beyond me. Why the Democrats don't "get it" is beyond me: you're losers. Your causes are bogus, your whining is demoralizing, and you can't even trust each other - much less, ask someone else to trust you to run the country.
You believe in nothing - that's why you flit from issue to issue. You "think" in bumper stickers. You laugh at your own country's failures while pretending to care more than anyone else ever has in the history of the place (sure.). You have no humanity - that's why you can diss the president with such vigor: you can't be bothered with him as a human being. You're practically French in your deceptiveness. If you were honest with yourselves - tall order, that one - you would admit that all you really care about is yourselves. But you're so easily led you're not even worth it. Everybody else sees it. Why not you?
Too busy admiring betrayal's lop-sided smile.
