ALa from Blonde Sagacity tips us to what’s next in the “It’s all Bush’s fault” propaganda-disguised-as-platform coming from the Left:
The NSA wiretapping hoopla isn’t working –most Americans think it’s OK, know Clinton did it too and see through the feigned outrage from the left. They can’t blame the Muslim riots on this administration and the economy continues to thrive. And they definitely don’t want Bush to get any momentum from the announcement of the large terror plot foiled in 2002. What’s a lefty to do with the 2006 elections looming…?
As President Bush stated in his State of the Union address, “Hindsight alone is not wisdom. And second-guessing is not a strategy.” The Left’s entire platform seem to be “oppose any and everything Bush does”, rather than offer real and substantive alternatives.
For them to take up the “Katrina is Bush’s fault” chant once again, all the while ignoring the local Democrat’s much bigger role and culpability in New Orleans is just another example of this.

MORE: Dale at The QandO Blog has a similar take:
The Democratic Party has become an almost oxymoronic party, a party of radical reactionaries. Radical in that the liberalism of traditional Democratic Party politics have become the leftist politics of today. Yet, reactionary in that, while the nation has, over the past three decades shifted to the right, the Democrats have become the party of obstruction when faced with that movement.
Even worse, the Democratic Party has become a party that is utterly bereft of ideas. They hate the war in Iraq, but have no strategy for dealing with it other than withdrawal. They refuse to acknowledge that Social Security, or any other defined-benefits pension plan, is simply not financially sustainable with the country’s current democgraphic makeup. They constantly deride the president’s wild spending, but even a casual persual of their policy suggestions unveils nothing more than higher spending—albeit with higher taxes—for as far as the eye can see. At a time when the European governments are struggling to keep their economies moving, strangled as they are by layers of soclialist policy, the Democrats’ only suggestion is to implement those same policies over here, despite their increasingly apparent failure everywhere they’ve been tried.
Increasingly, the Democrats are becoming captives of the MoveOn crowd, angry, and dissafected. This is not a prescription for electoral success, because the vast majority of American are not disappointed in this country, nor do they see it as a nexus of evil.

Care to back your faulty analysis up with a bet? I’ll put up $20 (to be donated to a charity of your choice if I lose) against the same amount from you, on the bet that the Democrats will pick up Congressional seats in the 2006 elections. Are you in??
