Dem dynamics

There are a lot of interesting dynamics going on within the Democrat party. The anyone who doesn’t agree with the whacko wing 100% is to be scorned – ask Joe Lieberman – dynamic. The we can run against Bush, even though Bush’s name will never appear on another ballot, dynamic. The warmed over John Kerry, “we’ll do it smarter and better” without ever say what “it” is, dynamic.

Then there’s this. Democrats are saying that the war in Iraq has been a diversion away from catching Osama bin Laden. Some high placed Democrats say that they would use the resources expended in Iraq on catching OBL. Then the same Democrats, when confronted with the demise of Saddam, al Zarqawi, and dozens of other top terror leaders in Iraq, pooh pooh those successes as irrelevant because the violence in Iraq continues.

Well, it seems to me, that catching or killing terrorist leaders either matters or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t matter that we have captured or killed Saddam and dozens of other terrorists leaders in Iraq, why will it make a difference if we kill OBL? Which leads to this dynamic, the no matter what happens in the world, if it’s good, Bush policies made no difference, if it’s bad, it’s all Bush’s fault dynamic.

So it would appear that the Democrats are challenging the “you can’t beat something with nothing” dynamic by offering nothing on a sliver platter to the electorate while scores waiters (Democrat candidates) tell the customers (electorate) that the kitchen is closed, but it will reopen if the customer will just leave a generous tip (vote).
