Even my Democrat friends are tired of apologizing for their party. They can point to nothing they and Obama have accomplished that’s reason enough to rally for Democrats in November, EXCEPT the specter of Sarah Palin. Ya think? –because I don’t. There may be American voters who prefer to elect a president they can drink a beer with, but in the feminine that’s going to be a Budweiser Girl. My apologies to feminists, but Bush’s dumbfuck shtick from the mouth of a woman comes across as a shrew. Palin’s invention of “refudiate” is no funnier than a common Bushism. It’s a sign her writers think they can crib the Bush playbook, but this time for a bogeyman, I think they misunderestimate the American public.

The Myth of Middle Ground
Yeah, but the entire Tea Party AND Republican slates are filled with that. Either the (puppet masters of the) Tea Bags and the “R”s are so convinced that ANY politician who can rise through the electoral system would be of such a huge Corporate-owned allegiance that it truly doesn’t matter, (likely) or the equally likely notion that they’re playing the card that Americans are too damn stupid to govern ourselves and thus the Corporate Rulers have not only the right but the absolute duty to do it for us.
A couple of key issues might help determine if somebody is worthy of a vote or a vote against. Public Option and regulation of Wall Street. So far there’s been a famine of senators and representatives who have passed those tests.
