TOO MANY WRONGS TO MAKE HIM RIGHT
The Nincompoop in Chief has been wrong on so much so often -- the war in Iraq and the disastrous post-war situation, finding weapons of mass destruction, finding Osama bin Laden, democratizing Afghanistan, retaining European allies, U.S. foreign policy in general, preventing the spread of nuclear weapons via Pakistan, containing North Korea's nuclear ambitions and now Iran's, the U.S. economy, lost jobs, tax cuts for the rich, privatizing Social Security, the rising cost of Medicare, the high price of drugs, stem-cell research, separation of church and state, abortion, global warming, environmental conservation, corporate corruption -- that if you attack him on everything he's been wrong about, you appear unfocused and you sound diffuse. But if you narrow your attack to only one or two of his mistakes, you give him a pass on all the others. So how do you demonstrate that the ninny has been a disaster on all counts, without giving him a pass on anything, and yet seem clear, on point and forceful? Is it not weird -- to believe the polls --that the ninny's failures are working in his favor? Any sentient human being would expect the opposite. Is the American electorate sentient? Will it surprise us? Are the pollsters wrong? Beats the shit out of me.
