According to the Washington Post (registration req.), the Democrats don’t have a message and don’t care. They’re content to let “anti-GOP sentiment run its course.” The Post cites a poll that purportedly shows “most Americans feel the nation is on the wrong track.”
You already know what I think of polls, but even a left-leaning paper like the Post knows that people won’t necessarily vote for John Kerry because they’re dissatisfied with President Bush. I’m often dissatisfied with him, but remember what I said yesterday about Kerry and water in a desert?
The Post says:
Briefing reporters, Rep. Robert T. Matsui (D-Calif.) said he and other Democratic campaign strategists feel they have an almost 50-50 chance of gaining the 11 seats they need to claim the House majority on Nov. 2. Matsui, chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, cited a recent poll showing 56 percent of Americans saying the country is on the wrong track (while 41 percent answered “right track”).
Pressed on whether Democrats need a sharper, clearer campaign message, Matsui said: “It would not be in anyone’s interest in our party to present a message or a theme in June, July or even August. We want to wait a while.”
And here’s a shocker:
It’s official: The Democratic National Convention is not a reality-show hit.
Just-released Nielsen numbers show that television ratings for Monday night, despite the heavily touted Bill Clinton speech, were down 10 percent from the first night of the Democratic gathering in Los Angeles four years ago.
All of Clinton’s fans were probably too tired to watch the convention after struggling through his 957-page book. I was going to read it and make fun of it, but I don’t have the resolve. Check out this review.
By the way, I’m a weasel!

Who was the last president to win the election who had no issues to run on other than “I am not that other guy and if you don’t like him vote for me”? I am sure the strategy of no-issues-other-than-disliking-the-opponent has been tried before. Has it ever worked?
Our good friends, the talk show hosts, are doing a swell job of giving the DNC Convention the “Mystery Science Theatre 3000″ treatment, speaking of making fun of liars, etc.. By the way, I’ve learned recently that Mike Nelson (former head writer for MST3K) is a conservative AND a Christian…too bad he couldn’t be there to contribute!!
God bless one and all…
Gee, Mike Nelson a conservative Christian? How could he possibly work with Joel, who is gay? IMPOSSIBLE!
Look, the talk-show hosts are gonna do the same number on the Bush bash. Do not triumph now.
The Repubs won’t have all the glitzy elitest Hollywood actors strutting about. It won’t be covered in the same way at all.
Exactly. Joe Liebermann was almost persona-non-grata at the event, while Michael Moore was mobbed by cameras, adoring fans- including Jimmy Carter- throughout the week!
Also, the speakers at the Reps’ gathering won’t offer near the amount of ammunition for criticism(except for leftists, who hate the air we breath regardless) as did the Dems with their heavy load of hypocrisy, race baiting, sneering, etc..
Speaking of Jimmy Carter, I feel sorry for him.
Somewhere between the white house and here, he really lost his mind. I heard what he was saying about ditching the baptist church a few years ago, but it ain’t jiving. A modern day Nebuchadnezzar reduced to eating grass with moonbats. Hopefully, he’ll regain his sanity before the end of his days.
“…eating grass with moonbats.” Heheh- I like that.
He’s always struck me as being a man without much real moral fibre. When he met with Leonid Brezhnev during his presidency, it was said that he trembled very visibly. Not long after this, he delivered a speech in which he stated that we have no business thinking ill of any country “just because their system differs from ours.” It’s always easier in the short term to side up with the bullies and avoid risk and confrontation, and that seems to be the only way liberals know of to deal with entities which are intimidating to them. And Carter, along with many other liberals, has allied himself with some very strange characters through the years.
Hmmm, maybe MM really is operating deep-undercover within the VRWC with a mission to abort the DNC. Call him Deep
throatfat?The German media Elite are rebuking “Democratic Party Rock Star” Michael Moore’s overly simplistic propaganda, even as they continue to dismiss half of the Americans as simple-minded sheep of the White Conservatives out to set world and race relations back to the stone age and have convinced themselves that Kerry will/must win. As David, an US expatriate blogger, writes in Moore Only Proves You Can Use the Wrong Means for the Right Goals
To quote a film critic “There is no sign of inner coherence, Moore gives priority to populism over form”
Wait a minute! That sounds like the Democratic party in a nutshell
Although Michael Moore has no message, the media ruefully admits the animus is strong enough to drive ticket sales. In effect, the media have only themselves to blame that their antiwar rational has been undermined by MM.
This is exactly what we are hoping for: that the Left will continue to degenerate and become increasingly hateful and irrational, making it more and more obvious(hopefully, anyway) to the American people as to what the DNC has actually become. The Clintons- the heroes of Communist China- are the stars of the party; Michael Moore recieves almost as much fanfare as The Gigelo and The Ambulance Chaser at the convention; next, they’ll be hiring an army of Hamaz and Hezbollah “militants” to work as bodyguards for Democratic officials.
Let’s just keep praying for our land.
I Tim. 2:1,2; II Chron. 7:14
Amen
