JUMPING LIKE RATS OFF A SINKING SHIP

Democrat Representative  Rep. Bart Gordon  (Tenn.) recently announced he would not be seeking re-election to his congressional seat in the 2010 election, retiring after 13 terms in office. Gordon joined Democrat representatives Dennis Moore (Kan.), John Tanner (Tenn.) and Brian Baird (Wash.) who have all announced their retirements in the past two weeks. This is going to cause serious problems for the Democrats who are already projected to be hard pressed to retain a majority in the house. President Obama has managed to lead the Democrats from a position “on the top of the world” to people jumping from the party like rats off a sinking ship. The retirement announcement from Gordon may lead to a stampede by democrats to abandon the sinking Obama ship. Party destruction that took George Bush 8 years to achieve has apparently been achieved by the Obama team in only 13 months. What can be done to rectify this desertion?


Well, the national Democrats are gearing up to “warn” us about the likes of the Sarah Palin radicals and the nuts from the “tea party protesters” such as Republican Senate Candidate Rob Simmons from Connecticut, who drives around campaigning with a tea bag hanging from his rear view mirror. Are Republicans really going to be the puppets of Sarah Palin, Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck and their throngs of followers?

What this dumb blogger from rural Montana doesn’t understand is why does our Democratic Party think that the way to retaining a majority is by attacking “Crazy” Republicans and trying to instill a sense of fear into the voters about the “lunatic” fringe when those of us in the trenches can plainly see that the blind allegiance to President Obama and this stupid stimulus plan and unchecked health care spending is what’s going to defeat the Democrats. Why do politicians continue to cram crap down our throats when it is plan to see that most people don’t agree with their direction?

What do our readers think?
