Listening to most Democrats is akin to a former of auditory torture. They have nothing to offer in the way of true political discourse, and they have one constant refrain. “Anyone is better than the Republicans.” It doesn’t matter if Obama escalates war, keeps Guantanamo open, claims the right to assassinate American citizens, increases immigrant deportations, asks courts to uphold don’t ask don’t tell, allows the right wing to destroy ACORN, funnels trillions of dollars to Wall Street, and promises to undo the will of voters who want to decriminalize drug use. Nothing matters except keeping Republicans out of office.
Republicans are compared to everyone from Attila the Hun to Hitler. The very thought of their presence is supposed to inspire apathetic voters to head for the polls, suspend disbelief and keep voting for the party which treats them like chumps.
