Democratic Midterm Strategy: Our Opponents Are Scumbags, Just Sayin'
www.wonkette.com
It is an Immutable Politics Law that the President's party loses seats in the midterms! The only exceptions are if the country is fighting or about to fight a new, exciting war (2002) or if the Congress is attempting to impeach him for sex crimes (1998). This year there is also an unpleasant Recession thingie going on, and the recently passed health care reform hasn't yet made the transition from "scary thing I don't understand" to "entitlement that I view as sacred while I whine about 'welfare queens.'" This means that the Democrats are going to do not so well in November, probably! There's only one way they can hold on to their hard-won control of Congress: by pointing out, ever so subtly, that their opponents are mostly amoral assholes who say and do embarrassing things.
