Foolish Democracts

.

The White House is within sight, as is a filibuster-proof Senate and a handsome majority in the House.

So what are the senior Democrats up to? Running their mouth and tickling their tonsils with their toes. And helping McCain.

Joe Biden is guaranteeing an international crisis if the Obama-Biden ticket is elected. "Mark my words: It will not be six months before the world tests Barack Obama like they did John Kennedy," Biden told the crowd. "The world is looking. We're about to elect a brilliant 47-year-old senator president of the United States of America. Watch, we're going to have an international crisis, a generated crisis, to test the mettle of this guy." Mr Biden added, "He's going to have to make some really tough - I don't know what the decision's going to be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it's going to happen,".
  
Barney Frank is looking forward to raise taxes.

John Murtha is calling many of the people who put him in office "rednecks." The news comes one week after Murtha claimed the area is racist, then apologized for that comment. Murtha believes there is one segment of the population which is holding on to its racist beliefs and he said it's difficult for them to change. Murtha said it may be even more difficult for them to vote for Sen. Barack Obama for president. "Particularly older people. They want change but they don't want to see things go too far," Murtha said.

John Kerry, addressing a business summit on energy issues, had this joke to tell: "Barack got asked the famous boxers or briefs question," Kerry went on. "I was tempted to say commando." The senator said Obama successfully parried that question but that John McCain, the GOP nominee, had some problems. "Then they asked McCain and McCain said, ‘Depends,'"

McCain was ahead in the polls after he picked the former beauty queen as his running mate and was focusing on his foreign policy and security creds. The financial crisis came as an October sursprise, and Obama started to take over and as of today, the RCP average shows him ahead by over seven points. 

However, Biden is giving an opening to McCain to take the focus back to McCain's comfort zone. Frank is bolstering McCain's argument that Obama will raise your taxes. Murtha is reminding the small-town folks, who Palin thinks are the only patriotic ones, that Obama sees you a bitter guys who cling to God and guns. Kerry is once again trying his hand at comedy after backlash to his comment about the GI Joes made him forget to run again.

It seems that the Democrats may unleash a bigger November surprise: snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.


Are they stupid? Why can't they just shut up?
