Misery Loves Democrats By GAIL COLLINS Published: September 10, 2008 NY Times It has come to our attention that a large number of Democrats have gone completely nuts about Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. He’s going to lose! Sarah Palin is getting all the attention! The Republicans are so mean! Why isn’t he tougher? They’re calling each other up to discuss how doomed they are, vowing to move to Canada as soon as the election is over and the inevitable worst has occurred. Really, we evacuated several hurricane-prone states with more cheer and optimism. Cheer up, Obama-ites. You’re overreacting. I’ll answer all your questions as long as you promise to take deep breaths into this nice paper bag. Have you seen the polls? He should be talking more about the economy! Why isn’t his campaign working harder? If the Obama brain trust seems relatively serene compared with its seething base, it’s because they live in the Electoral College world, where the presidential race only takes place in a third of the country. They don’t care about national polls — a concept as quaint as measuring one’s wealth by caribou pelts. They worry about the undecided vote in Minnesota and Ohio and run their TV ads (about the economy) in places like Colorado and Michigan and Florida. If you live in California or New York or Texas, you don’t really have much of a feel for their level of effort because as far as they’re concerned, you’ve already voted.

Maybe they’ve just gotten so used to losing presidential elections that they don’t get all worked up over it anymore?
No. Democrats love misery you old hag.
Eras will now be referred to as:
BS: Before Sarah
AS: After Sarah
Democrats Miserable Lovers?
They create misery, but more importantly they spend all their time trying to convince everyone that things are terrible and their miserable (hence their frustration when Americans won’t play eurotrash class warfare, and nearly everyone considers himself middle class).
Misery, fear, and foreboding are their tools for ever-increasing government dependency as they try to get more people running to politicians for handouts.
Alternate title: Democrats Miserable Lovers
Usualy right wingers are the ones leaving, like the desertion of Detroit. It’s liberals who stay no matter what.
Liberals are like the spouses who stick with crackhead and are ready to kill if crackhead is removed, yet complain they are not rescued from it.
