Playing You For A Fool: Part 2
My last blog entry pointed out how the professional Left is working assiduously to convince us, via mind numbing repetition, that the 2012 GOP field is weak. Their goal is to get enough of us to conclude that it would be irresponsible—even unpatriotic—to trust our fragile republic to someone from such a collection of supposed extremists and incompetents.
It's a reasonable, it not original plan to discredit the opposition. However, it does have one major flaw.
That's where Part 2 of the Left's two-pronged effort to play us for a fool comes in.
What do you do when the GOP field you're attempting to tar is far out done, from an incompetence standpoint, by a sitting President who has taken ineptitude to a level previously never thought possible?
The only option is to somehow rehabilitate the President's image.
Send in the clowns and behold their political slight of hand..
Their rehabilitation narrative is ostensibly that any Obama success (real or perceived) immediately and completely negates all previous failures. Yep, the par on 18 erases the 30 over score on the prior 17 holes. You've heard the rhetoric. All the pain has been a necessary part of his master plan to bring us back from the depths.
So far, they've thrice tried to spin their yarn—and failed on each occasion. The first was after passage of the Healthcare legislation; the second was subsequent to the interim budget deal, and the latest was following the Bin Laden operation. To date, continued staggering Democrat incompetence has trumped the Left's sophistry.
Three strikes and you're out; right? Nope, not if you're a Democrat. They have more lives than a litter of Siamese twin cats.
The Dems will not be deterred. You can just sense them waiting for a nugget of economic news that they can wrap their arms around.
Of course, if/when it happens, they'll speciously tell us that all their job killing, growth inhibiting policies were just the right medicine for an ailing economy. Never mind that they've essentially made this downturn three times longer than the preceding longest since the Great Depression. We walked into their office with the flu and tottered out with full blown pneumonia.
Don't be the fool that they so desperately need.

"Of course, if/when it happens, they'll speciously tell us that all their job killing, growth inhibiting policies were just the right medicine for an ailing economy" - Of course this is how the new healthcare bill works- no money for treatment - just tell them they are fine.
