Tell Me Something I Don't Know


Michael Tomasky says Republicans are Total Incompetents at running the country. Snippet:
When voters recognize that one party knows how to get things done and the other party does not, they tend to gravitate toward the former even if they don't particularly agree with everything it stands for. Lots of people have voted Republican in the last few elections, and certainly in 2000, because even though they weren't nearly as right wing as the zealots now in power, they felt that the Republicans would do a better job of looking after their money and leaving the world a safer place for their kids. Voters surely can see that the Grand Incompetence Party is doing neither of those things. The Democrats just need to drill it into them.
If Bush wins reelection, which seems unlikely at this point (as it did before 9-11, so you just never know...), there will probably be a mass exodus out of the country. Look out Canada, Australia and New Zealand!
