Joe Scarborough's electoral advice
In the Washington Post today Joe is giving advice to his Republican colleagues on how to be re-elected, but the litany of Republican failures he presents should the Democrats constant talking points from now to November.
I can't help but feel sorry for my old Republican friends in Congress who are fighting for their political lives. After all, it must be tough explaining to voters at their local Baptist church's Keep Congress Conservative Day that it was their party that took a $155 billion surplus and turned it into a record-setting $400 billion deficit.Joe says that all they have to do to win is "Blame George W. Bush." This may work, because as Joe points out later in the piece it hard to get the Democrats to say anything. And what Joe doesn't say is that when they do say something, you never hear it. Perhaps Howard Dean should hire Joe to say it for them. He is a Republican so you know he's for sale.
How exactly does one convince the teeming masses that Republicans deserve to stay in power despite botching a war, doubling the national debt, keeping company with Jack Abramoff, fumbling the response to Hurricane Katrina, expanding the government at record rates, raising cronyism to an art form, playing poker with Duke Cunningham, isolating America and repeatedly electing Tom DeLay as their House majority leader?.....
.....Even when the administration would not give generals the troops they needed to win the war in Iraq, Republican leaders did nothing. When the president refused to veto a single spending bill while the deficit spiraled upward, Republican leaders looked away. And when chaos was reigning in the streets of New Orleans and across the Gulf Coast in Katrina's horrific aftermath, Republican leaders remained mute.
