The Glaring Lesson Already Evident in Massachusetts. [View All]

Where in the hell are all those independents and moderate voters that the White House and our Democratic Senate have been sucking up to all year long while throwing the Leftist, activists under the bus? Surely that wizard, David Axelrod, didn't get this all wrong! That just couldn't be! Surely Axelrod has succeeded into converting oodles of independents and moderates into Democrats just in time for Tuesday to replace all those nasty "irrelevant" lefties. I mean, wasn't that the the strategy? Trash the "insignificant" Left to win the millions of moderates and Independents?

I mean, there should be millions of independent voters and moderate voters jumping at the chance now to vote for a moderate Democrat in Massachusetts on Tuesday. Where are they? Oh, no! You mean they didn't convert to be Democrats? Oh, my!

Why, tell me, is the Left now being scolded by Democratic career politicians for not getting out and working the precincts, working the phones, giving their passion and shoe-leather again? I thought that we were now "irrelevant", or so we were told right from the White House.

I gotta wonder: Why didn't all of last year's political compromising, promise breaking, corporate whoring, foreign warmongering, Wall Street loving and bank bail-outing succeed in converting millions of independents and "moderates" into Democrats to replace us who are so nasty, pesky, you know, the left-wing agitators? What happened?

Why is it, tell me, that the Democratic Party and its politicians --- who are swimming in cash from their coddling the insurance cartel and the defense contractors and the energy giants and Wall Street from their giveaways --- are now suddenly dialing 911 to the Left begging us to save their asses?

You mean that all that money might not be enough after all? Surely, they weren't wrong, were they?

You mean money doesn't vote? Surprise, surprise!

One would think that after all the compromising, all the butt-kissing of the right-wing, all of the money raised, all of the public trashing of Leftists in this country over the last 11 months, that there would now be millions upon millions of newly recruited independents and moderates to take the place of the Left, to fill our shoes, and to truly make us "irrelevant" at election time.

Uh, oh! Seems like those that were called "irrelevant" are suddenly very, very relevant, aren't we?

After sleeping around with everyone but your loyal wife, now you are coming home to your wife with lipstick on your collar, a broken zipper, booze on your breath begging for us to take you back. You know, your "irrelevant wife".

On one hand we are dismissed as "irrelevant" and "an insignificant, loud minority within the party" and then on the other hand we are begged and begged to get out once again and save the Party.

So, which is it? Are we relevant or irrelevant?

I think that the near begging by President Obama in Massachusetts to save that Senate Seat tells everyone everything they need to know about just who is relevant at election time.

There's a lesson here: You don't shit all over people who work for you, you don't betray them by going back on your promises and then call them up when your ass is in a sling.

This is the glaring lesson already evident in Massachusetts.
