Is Sarah Palin an intellectual giant? No. Is she possessed of great political savvy? No. Is she a political visionary? No. Is she a natural leader? Not likely. Is she, like Ronald Reagan, a Great Communicator?’ Not really. Does anyone take her seriously—a formidable political force with which to be reckoned in the coming years? Yep—the Democrats do.
The former governor of Alaska and recent unsuccessful vice presidential candidate has put the fear of the Almighty in the Democrats. They are so worried about this photogenic political lightweight that the Democrats set a fund raising record in October by alluding to the dangers she posed to our democracy.
How did they raise so much money? They sent a letter about Sarah to the party faithful:
“Remember, this is the person who coined the term ‘Death Panels’ — and opened the flood gates for months of false attacks by special interests and partisan extremists.
“As we approach the final sprint on health reform, we can’t afford more deception and delay. We need to be ready for anything — and have the resources to respond with ads, events, and calls to Congress when the attacks come.
“So we’re setting a big goal: $500,000 in the next week to help push back against Sarah Palin and her allies. Please chip in $5 (apparently Democrats really are poor, or just cheap) to help reach our goal.”
Barry’s job rating has slipped below 50% and is headed south; Sarah’s potential job rating (that is, how well do people think she would do at running the country) is even lower than Barry’s.
So why are the Democrats worried? They control the House, the Senate, the Presidency, they’ve packed the courts with activist judges. And they’re watching it all head inexorably down the drain because they’ve mistaken constituents’ votes as permission to anything they damn well please.
The next congressional election is less than a year away. There’s not a congressman or senator out there who isn’t already sensing looming disaster. The voters are getting ready to tell them, “Either clean up your act, or clean out your desk.”
It gets worse. Barry is on his way to becoming another Jimmy Carter. Not a bad guy, in many ways, but inept in the finer points of domestic politics and totally outclassed on the world stage. Like Carter, Barry is on his way to becoming a one-term president; well, a half-term president really, because when he loses control of congress (which is happening already) he won’t get anything done.
When the judges turn in the score cards, however, Carter will come out as having been the better president. Not that he did much but at least he did it without putting together a coalition of Hollywoodenheads, Chicago ward heelers, assorted felons, and avowed “God damn America” preachers and imams.
