Stuck on Stupid

The Themocrats strive mightily post an "L" in the column for the 2006 elections:

Republicans were in the running this year for their abject failure on Social Security reform (by foolishly going for a massive overhaul and not just getting small private accounts), the Harriet Miers misstep, a tin ear on Hurricane Katrina, a poor job on communicating about the war in Iraq, and a confusing White House message on immigration.

But the Democrats are now poised to surpass the GOP in idiocy and grasp the victor's laurel of political incompetence. And the interesting thing about it is that their friends in the media and their grassroots will applaud them all the way.

Republicans were certainly the top contenders for the Stupid-Party Sweepstakes early this year, when the party's higher-ups decided not to learn from the Clinton-era health-care disaster of 1993-1994. Instead of going for a small private-account scheme that they could build out each year, they pushed for a massive and painful program of reform, replete with talk of Social Security cuts and "clawbacks" and the like.

But just when the odds looked insurmountable, Democrats are grasping to overtake Republicans. Seemingly forgetting how they did so well in the 1998 elections, they have begun idiotically calling for Congress to impeach President Bush over the war and the wiretapping of international calls.

The American people will simply not tolerate impeachment talk in wartime. Particularly when it's clearly for the naked political reasons the Dems evince.

All we have to do is consider the following lineup:

President Bush vs. John Francoise Kerry
Vice President Cheney vs. Breck Boy John Edwards
Condoleeza Rice vs. Richard "The issue is complicated" Holbrooke
Donald Rumsfeld vs. Wesley "Antiwar" Clarke
Alberto Gonzalez vs. Jamie "Not my wall" Gorelick

Who do you think America trusts to run the War on Terror---the GOP A-Team or the Themocrat Appeasers?
