Even When They Try. They Just Don’t Get IT

Hey folks,

The LWL feels that they have the pulse of the American people. They think they know what it is that we want. Cut and Run. Impeach the President. Stop Illegals from crossing our boarder. So what do they do? They create a 35 second ad trying to point out the "failures" of President Bush. Their new slogan is "Feel safer? Vote for change."

But here is the problem. They are walking a dangerous line of offending one of their own base supporters. According to this AP article,

"A Democratic political ad is under fire from Hispanics who say it unfairly compares Latino immigrants to terrorists.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee sponsored a 35-second ad on its Web site that shows footage of two people scaling a border fence mixed with images of Osama Bin Laden and North Korea President Kim Jong Il."

According to Houston City Councilwoman Carol Alvarado, a Democrat, who sent a letter to DSCC Chairman Sen. Charles Schumer,

"To liken Latino immigrants to bazooka-toting terrorists not only undermines the positive relationship our party has with this community, but also lowers us to a despicable level as breeders of unfounded fear and hatred," Alvarado wrote"

The far left looney fringe is so out of touch, they cannot see that this would be offensive? Where are the more moderate, and sane Democrats? Why are they not apologizing to one of their bases? Oh yeah, ask Lieberman.

Now it is reported that Kerry is revving up his online political machine to raise campaign cash for Democratic Senate nominee Ned Lamont. Kerry said,

"Ned Lamont has caused a national stir by successfully challenging the Bush position on Iraq that ignores the utter failure of the President's policy,"

Yes. But one problem Sen Kerry. I truly believe Lieberman will win. It doesn’t really matter how much you raise, Lamont just will not beat Lieberman in the General Election. Now with your party offending one of your own bases, one would have to wonder if you can win much of anything. As I said before, you need more than "Vote for me, I’m not Bush." You could start with showing how your plan for national security, would have helped prevent another 9-11.
