eating your hat ALWAYS tastes better sprinkled with a dose of ineptitude

Pejman has already discussed the Reuters piece that covered the Dem debate in Hanover NH, and he couldn't be more right in wondering just how long before donor monies might dry up.

I'd take it a step further and ask how long before MoveOn has Hillary and Obama on a fresh ad campaign splash. Certainly, suggesting they can't commit to a withdrawal they are RUNNING on offers up sufficient entertainment for we GOP'ers as we watch them implode...but to ADD insult to injury by offering up what new taxes and spending they will pursue AFTER they fail to lose the war is just too rich for words.

I can't offer a better quote than this from the Thompson camp. It was buried in a slam by Katherine (my man's Mitt) Lopez, but I thank her for it all the same.

Read it below the fold...

Thompson Communications Director Todd Harris released the following statement after tonight's Democrat debate in New Hampshire:

"I hope every American tuned in tonight to watch the Democrats debate how much to raise taxes, how much to grow government, and which route to surrender they would choose in the war against terror. The contrast between Fred Thompson and every liberal throwback on that stage could not be more clear, and watching them tonight makes me feel downright bullish about winning next November."

I mean, c'mon, "several of the contenders endorsed payroll tax increases to assure a stable Social Security system," "they [will] apply the tax to income now exempted," and they're "willing to consider gradually raising the retirement age, which is now 67."

They think "it's hard to project four years from now," they feel "[it] is very difficult to know what [they're] going to be inheriting," and regarding complete desertion of Iraq, they "cannot make [a] commitment."

How much more could any of us really ask for, in trying to decide whether to vote for one of these people?

"We don't know what we're doing, we can't make any commitments, and we're afraid to take a position on anything if it goes against what we think you want us to say. And oh, by the way, we will take more of your money to work with and give it to more people you don't know (and we can't really find) while we try to figure it all out...and we're going to make YOU work harder and longer to cover the tab."

The campaign theme should be "Democrats: Winging It As We Go."

Bless you guys-you sure do help draw those "lines of distinction" we're all looking for.
