Reason 3,195 the Democrats are Screwed
You know you’re screwed when even the crazies figure out the blazingly obvious before you do.
Walking down Lake, I passed one of the increasingly common LaRouche informational tables. They had several signs plastered, including one stating “Bush is not a Republican. He’s an idiot.”
There’s an idea… attack just the individual instead of the entire party. With that, you might, I don’t know, get Republicans to vote your way. Crazy idea, eh?
Had I not already known that LaRouche was absolutely fucking nuts, I might have stopped and talk to them.
Thank God he’s a Democrat.

Personally, I’m a big fan of Karl Rove. He’s an America hero.

I don’t think that LaRouche is really comparable to Rove. Rove is pretty much in the center of the party. LaRouche is fringe nutjob.

Yes, a conservative / Republican pundit would never stoop to bashing an entire class of people. Nope, never.

Sure they do. The point isn’t that Republicans don’t do it, the point is that the Democrats are missing out on marketshare by attacking instead of courting disaffected Republicans.

You could say exactly the same thing, switching the names of the parties, and it seems it would be just as valid an argument. And, if you want to claim that the Republican party doesn’t need to worry about “marketshare” because they currently have a 0.1% edge, well that’s just silly.
