"Life Sucks Vote for Me!"

Well Arnold won the election. You would think that would tick off the liberal democrats. However I think this is very good for them. This election proved you can basically dodge the issues and just harp about how bad a job your opponent did. You just list obvious faults of the administration but offer nothing as far as solutions to the problems. Just remind people that things suck right now.

Maybe its just me, but I think all Arnold did was make puns about his movies, and told us Gray Davis sucked really bad and he made a mess of things. He got pretty cool sound bites out of this and imagine how much more effective the democrat’s sound bytes can be when its time to fight for the white house.


They will say stuff like about Bush’s missteps, but have no actual solutions. They will talk about the controversial war in Iraq. They will talk about the economy and blast the tax cut, but have no actual suggestions of their own. I just don’t think they really have any ideas (unless they plan to reveal them later but I doubt it) mainly because fixing the economy is a lot more difficult than people think. Do my liberal readers actually think Clinton in office would have kept the economy a float after the events of 9/11? Please. The market was changing just as Clinton was leaving office, and the terrorist attacks facilitated the process.

So my point is that is seems to me the general public will just rally behind whoever the democrats run for office just because he will shout about the jobless, and such. Bush a weak debater will have a lot harder time running from questions that his opponent will ask him. Like why did we go to Iraq? Where are the WMD? Think about it, when those debates come its going to be it for Bush. Bush stammered during this type of public address imagines such loaded acquisitions flying out him.


So basically this election shows that you don’t have to have good ideas or ways to fix problems just talk about what is wrong. Than after that you get 4 years in the White House to make it up as you go along
