Well, it looks like that ''culture of corruption'' ploy didn’t work out too well for Democrats last week in California. But after Brian Bilbray won disgraced Duke Cunningham’s seat, some liberals quickly changed tack to claim that he did it by using the illegal immigration issue as a ''scare tactic.''
This sounds strange coming from folks who regularly warn that Republicans will starve children, throw old ladies out into the streets, etc., but such is life when you’re on a losing streak. Year after year, defeats leave modern Democrats scratching their heads and navel-gazing, trying in vain to hit upon better ways to ''get their message out.'' But that’s the problem. Their message has been resounding for decades: they’re liberals. Some Democrats understand that one of the reasons they lose is that instead of finding ways to win, they’d rather rehash their losses. Washington Post writer Dan Balz points out: They are experts at commissioning papers analyzing their weaknesses. (“Why we can’t win with______.” Fill in the blank with “white men,” “married women,” “rural voters,” “people of faith,” “more Latinos,” “the middle class,” or whatever group is considered the party’s latest demographic debacle.) In spite of this self-realization that they may be out of the mainstream, certain lefties out in cyberspace continue to delude themselves into thinking that the key to producing electoral victories is to harness the power of Al Gore’s internet. Last week’s Las Vegas convention of liberal bloggers sponsored by Daily Kos is proof positive that these delusions will happily continue.

I think they do despise OBL. I heard that OBL had a screen name at the Democratic Underground and he got booted off for being too pro- American for their tastes.
Insightful.
ROTFLMAO

It is indeed sickening that we live in a time when Democrats actually court a group of people who call for the assassination of the President of the United States of America.
Simply disgusting.
