A Voice in the Wilderness In Defense of "Mere Conservatism"

Tell me if you’ve heard this one before…

A guy walks in to the White House, and a year later is still blaming anything and everything on the previous president...

As Dems flock to MA in hopes of staving off an embarrassing GOP victory, the rallying cry (yet again) seems to be that George W. Bush was a dummy and ruined everything.  Son-of-Teddy, Rep. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), had this to say after a rally in support of Martha Coakley:

"If you think there's magic out there and things can be turned around overnight, then you would vote for someone who could promise you that, like Scott Brown," Kennedy said. "If you don't, if you know that it takes eight years for George Bush and his cronies to put our country into this hole ... then you know we have a lot of digging to do, but some work needs to be done and this president's in the process of doing it and we need to get Marcia Coakley to help him to do that."

He also called Martha Coakley "Marcia Coakley" many times during his illuminating remarks to the press.

Later he opined:

"One thing the Democrats have done wrong? We haven't kept the focus on this disaster on the Republicans who brought it upon us. We've tried too hard to do that right thing, and that's to fix it, as opposed to spend more of our time and energy pointing the finger at who got us [here] in the first place."

We got 'em on the ropes.  November can't come soon enough.

Here's a great column by Dick Morris on why the senate seat in MA matters so much.
