Democrats propose that they take responsibility for your life. They will provide for you and care for you. They will make your life better. The tell you they are powerful benign rulers who will make your life better.
When they fail when they are supposed to win, they have a terrible problem. Their followers may figure out they failed. And if they failed to win election they were supposed to win, how can they be powerful enought to benignly rule your life and provide for your every need. They need a scape goat.... .. Hmmm Rush Limbaugh .. lets use that old goat is what Gore is thinking.
Democrats are more than republicans need an enemy to be at fault for their failure. Dachle and Gore do not expect us to believe that Rush or Fox or the Washington times was repsonsible for the parties defeat, but they do expect their base to believe it. They can not ask themselves what did we do wrong? They can only try to convince their followers that someone else was to blame.
They have a problem on both foreign and Domestic policy Bush has a hammer lock on all the right answers. The public agrees with the Republican Positions. That leaves two options. They can wait until the repubicans screw up as in 1932 and 1992, or they can run a hero who needs no message as the Republicans did in 1952 with Ike.
But to satisfy the base they have to blame someone.
They see little advantage in saying President Bush took the good issues and popular stands and left us up the creek with out a message. It is far better for them to scream Rush did it.
Al is just trying to convince the media that he is smart. When he gets the nomination in 2004, it will be important that the media undertand how smart Al is. Making the media think you are smart is hard... you have to be real dumb to do that.. here is why.
Remember if you major in math and are flunking out change you major to Science. If you are flunking out of Science change your major to Pre-law. If you are flunking out of Pre-law change your major to education. If you are flunking out of education change your major to psychology. If you are flunking out of psychology change your major to journalism. No one flunks out of journalism.
It is not hard for Al to fool the media. Any boob can do it. Al can do it... It takes a boob to do it. The media thinks they are smart. They tend to think that people just like them are smart...
Al has a major advantage there....
Nope. I'm too old for reading something that has as much appeal as the periodic table of elements from my ninth grade chemistry class.
