Democrats, WAKE UP!!!

Democrats, please wake up and pull your heads out of your asses! You can mock Sarah Palin and small town America all you want, but at this point it's looking like the Republicans will once again win the White House. And once again, they'll win it through the mobilization of their base. That, and the Democrats once again shooting themselves in the foot.

I'm still trying to figure out if the Democrats really believed that John McCain picked Sarah Palin as a running mate to try and win Hillary Clinton supporters, or if it was just one more attempt to run Sarah Palin and John McCain down. Personally, I think McCain was a canny ol' fox who picked a running mate that would rally the base but at the same time allow him to take a jab at Obama and the Democrats. The Republicans responded to his pick with enthusiasm. The Democrats...? If it weren't for McCain's economic policy I'd be tempted to vote for a third party candidate.

Democrats, why are you giving McCain and Palin all this free publicity? Do you really think the sexist attacks against Sarah Palin will win women to your ranks? Do you think the hearts of rural and small town voters will be warmed by the sneering remarks about the size of Wasilla and the low population of Alaska? And what, pray tell, leads you to think that a voice filled with smug superiority and mocking disdain inspires confidence? These tactics will not win over the hearts and minds of the undecided. It might even turn the faithful away. They might not vote for McCain, but if they don't vote Democrat the damage will be done.

I can't speak for other voters, but I know that I would rather be a part of something that is for, rather than against. Talk about what you will do for people. Talk about what you will do for the economy. Talk about what you do for our country's failing, and falling infrastructure. You could be building a bridge to the future, but at this point your bridge is leading nowhere.
