Sick of It
By contact@legalinsurrection.com (William A. Jacobson) on 2010 Election
You can run, but it's too late to hide anymore:
>>> President Barack Obama is trying to ride the wave of anti-incumbency by taking on an unpopular politician steeped in the partisan ways of Washington.
It doesn't matter that George W. Bush left office 16 months ago.
The White House's mid-term election strategy is becoming clear – pit the Democrats of 2010 against the Republicans circa 2006, 2008 and 2009, including Bush. <<<
Pathetic and weak:
>>> Some Democrats would like Obama to shift his argument.
"The president needs to indict not simply Bush or even Republicans. He is a visionary thinker, and his rhetoric should reflect that," said Democratic strategist Paul Begala. "I want President Obama to make a consistent, compelling indictment of conservative ideas."<<<
That should work, in a country dominated by people who self-identify as conservative.
How about this for a Democratic campaign slogan, "You people are stupid, so just shut up and do as you are told."
Or better yet, "You people are ignorant racists, blah blah blah blah." Fail:
>>> Boston and Los Angeles were among the first to announce boycotts of Arizona, but 68% of Americans say it's a bad idea for other cities or states to boycott Arizona over its new immigration law.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey shows that only 14% of Adults think it's a good idea for cities or states to join that boycott. Ten percent (10%) don't care one way or the other, and nine percent (9%) more are undecided.
Forty percent (40%), in fact, say they would avoid doing business with any city or state that boycotts Arizona. Forty-three percent (43%) disagree and would continue to do business with boycotting cities or states. Seventeen percent (17%) aren't sure.
Fifty-five percent (55%) of voters nationwide favor passage of a law like Arizona's in their own state. When asked specifically about the chief provision of the Arizona law, support is even higher. Sixty-nine percent (69%) of voters believe a police officer should be required to check the immigration status of anyone stopped for a traffic violation or violation of some other law if he suspects the person might be an illegal immigrant. <<<
It worked in 2008, but lightening doesn't strike twice. |
