I hate the DNC
In
2000, the
democratic party ran a
centrist campaign with a completely uninspired
presidential candidate who, during the campaign, seemed to agree with the (much more charismatic)
republican candidate on most issues. Then the
democrats lost, and decided to blame the whole thing on
Ralph Nader.
Now, in
2004, after fielding yet another uninspiring candidate who went
all over the board on most issues (yes, the
republicans were absolutely right about that) and had a
wishy-washy, often insulting stance on
gay rights and the
war, among other things -- and who claimed to be several things he was not (a
fiscal conservative, anyone?) -- after all that, the democrats are now insisting that the blame lies not with them for running a crappy campaign, but instead (since
Nader turned out not to be a factor) lies with
Gavin Newsom, that
San Francisco mayor who allowed
gay couples to marry.
Granted, I'm not politically naive. Of course that affected the
voter turnout of the
religious right, particularly in the 11 states where
gay marriage bans were on the
ballot.
But
you can't bullshit a bullshitter either. The democrats needed a
scapegoat, and the fact that they didn't didn't seem too worried about this guy until after the
election results came in suggests to me that they're just
full of shit.
Brimming over with the
proverbial feces.
Jerks. You know what,
Ah-nold was right about the democrats, they are a bunch of "
Girly-men." Stupid fucking wishy-washy assholes.
