2008: Year of the DemocRATs

I'm no Unity Baby but I got tired about reading blog after blog on Hillary's gaffe, so, why not focus on things that are in the Democrats favor this year? So, without further ado: 10 things Democrats should be for this year:
 1. That George Bush is the anti-Midas. Everything he touches turns to crap. His businesses, Iraq, the Justice Department, the economy...you get the drift, I'm sure you could even add to the list.
   2. That the Republicans had the majority in Congress for six years as they helped George Bush run the country into the ground.
  3. That the majority of Republicans have lost their bearings along with John McCain. What principles do they stand for? As far as I can tell they're the Anti-Party. They're against abortion, against gay marriage, against immigration, against taxes, against Mother's Day, and even against a functioning government (this bunch hold the record for the most filibusters, ever). Oh, I just thought of something they are for...torture. But the Torture Party doesn't sound like a winner either.
  4. That Arnold Schwarzenegger cannot become a Vice Presidential nominee unless the Constitution was rewritten.
  5. That Mitt  the Phoney Romney seems to be McCain's best choice for a running mate.
  6. That the electorate is engaged in this election season because they're tired of George Bush.
  7. That the drawn out primary has helped the Democrats set up operations in many of the states and have enthusiastic support from volunteers across the country.
  8. That senior citizens have a problem with John McCain's age. It also helps that he's not sure about whether he supports privatizing Social Security or not. Flip-flop much?
  9. Speaking of flip-flops, McCain has flip-flopped on immigration so many times, Republicans don't trust him and Latino Americans don't trust him either. Notice his support in his own home state is not as strong as it should be.
 10. And most of all, they should be grateful for the rise of the blogosphere and that people have access to all kinds of opinions and don't need to rely on the traditional media.

11. That the longer Hillary stays in, the more gaffes she'll make.

Haha. I made a mistake in my first sentence, it should read 10 Things Democrats should be Grateful for.

Should we be grateful that Obama voted for the Bush/Cheney energy bill?
