Every time the Dems lose it’s because of “anger” that is free-floating in that it has no real cause, and is an irrational or sub-rational emotion. Just read the MSM. Every time.
Somehow, Obama et al would have you believe, the people are still angry at Bush 14 months after voting to repudiate him, so they voted for a GOP? That makes as much sense as the argument that Congress should pass teh health care bill becuase after it’s passed, everyone will suddenly learn about it and fall in love.
There’s a term for this sort of thing. “Psychosis.” Not necessarily murderous totally deranged psychosis (tho, some here would argue that is exactly what it is), but a significant disconnect from reality and inability to process the environment in a logical factual way, for sure.
I suspect some Dem pros actually try to figure out what is going on and respond to it–for example, the Dems ran away from hi visibility gun control legislation after their 1994 debacle.
But teh media spin and the sense in the kultusmog (to use Tyrell’s term) is it’s just these crazy guys (angry men, usually), what can you do, it’s irrational? Dems are rational, scientific, logical and warm-hearted. GOPs are irrational, unscientific, illogical and cold.
Like those academic papers that surface every couple of years about how liberals have all the admirable traits, conservatives all the despicable ones.
Tonite, Hannity said he can’t see how Obama doesn’t change course, but he’s happy if Obama doesn’t becuase it’ll just dig the Dems in deeper.
Obama has never before been challenged in any significant way. He has no experience evaluating unhappy facts and changing his behavior; he has never had to do that. Among teh mmany riticisms one could level at him, I would include “childish.” He’s like an over-protected little princeling who always got his way, suddenly out in the big bad world, with no experience or reference points.
We’re in trouble. He will tear the country apart because there are just enough people stupid enough or craven enough to follow him.
