Christina’s Common Sense

Think back to middle school history. Remember the Donner Party? The people who set out for the West, got stranded in California, and found themselves in such dire straits they had to eat each other?

Well, this election year, the Democrats are doing the same thing (metaphorically, of course). Their party is so bankrupt, their ideology so vacuous, and their candidates so utterly laughable that they’re out of resources. All they can do is consume each other.

John McCain may be the luckiest politician ever to live. His own party hates him and many of them will sooner stay home than vote for him. Not only that, but the Republicans should lose big this year. We’ve got an unpopular war, an economy in a minor recession, and the Republicans basically flushed their twelve years in power to the point that they were ousted in the midterm elections. They haven’t done themselves proud since. By all political analysis, the Republicans should fall on their faces this year.

But they may not. Hillary and Barack are so busy tearing into each other that they don’t have the resources to tear into McCain. The Democrats could easily make hay on pointing out McCain’s traitorous actions against his own party. But they can’t! They’re too busy shredding each other.

John McCain and the Republicans have no business winning a consolation prize, never mind an election, this year. But their opposition is so bad that they just might anyway. If the Republicans win a darn thing in November, they will truly have been blessed by their enemies.
