In the Uncle Remus stories, B'rer Fox makes a trap for the arrogant and excitable B'rer Rabbit: a tar baby. B'rer Rabbit finds him along the road, says "Howdy", and when the tar baby doesn't respond, B'rer Rabbit gets mad and finally punches him. When his hand gets stuck, he hits with the other hand. When both his hands get stuck, he kicks, at which point he is completely subsumed in the stuff . The more he struggles with the tar baby, the more stuck he gets.
The Democrats would do well to review their children's literature. The more they attack Sarah Palin, the worse they look. Other than Obama's appeal to lay off Palin's personal life, they haven't made a good political decision in two weeks, and the McCain campaign has made a whole string of them.
They will wake up one morning and kick themselves for it.

The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
Martin,
ReplyDeleteYou are right. The democrats ought to be focusing their campaign on McCain. He's the one running for president, after all. And he's the one who has virtually nothing to offer except more of the same.
More of the same what?
ReplyDeleteMy new favorite quote: "I have had a strong and a long relationship on national security, I've been involved in every national crisis that this nation has faced since Beirut, I understand the issues, I understand and appreciate the enormity of the challenge we face from radical Islamic extremism. I am prepared. I am prepared. I need no on-the-job training. I wasn't a mayor for a short period of time. I wasn't a governor for a short period of time," - Senator John McCain, October, 2007.
ReplyDeleteMaybe McCain should stop attacking his running mate as well... oh wait, that was before he chose Palin. How things change.
I suppose, anonymous, someone is going to have to explain the difference between a party's number two candidate being inexperienced in foreign affairs, and another party's number one candidate having the same inexperience.
ReplyDeleteAfter all, I never realized liberals admire Dick Cheney so much. Maybe he needed to be the nominee.
Martin,
ReplyDeleteYou buffoon, you know right well democrats would never lower themselves to read that racist slime Br'er Rabbit.
