The more candid in the Left’s blogosphere get that the Democrats are in very big trouble. David Corn, for example, confesses: “It doesn’t appear that Obama has forged and maintained that sort of bond with a majority of voters. Democrats were hoping that a summer economic turn-around would ease the way toward the fall elections. But no such harvest is looming.” They have only figured this out recently? Well, denial is an attractive coping mechanism. And there is reason not to freak out donors and activists with predictions of impending doom.
However, reality is seeping in, and candor is breaking out after months and months of pooh-poohing polls, assuring themselves ObamaCare was essential to their political survival, and lamely trying to sow dissention in Republican ranks (Tea Party vs. mainstream GOP!). Despondency may follow.
As the dismal news piles up and liberals give up the pretense that the economic and electoral outlook is bright, how much worse will the polling get for those Democrats on the ballot in November? And do the pollsters have models to gauge just how depressed the Democrats’ turnout will be? We’ll see, but Democrats are wise, I think, to prepare themselves for the deluge.
The Holy See’s press office released this statement saying, "His Holiness took the opportunity to speak of the requirements of the natural moral law and the Church's consistent teaching on the dignity of human life from conception to natural death which enjoin all Catholics, and especially legislators, jurists and those responsible for the common good of society, to work in co-operation with all men and women of good will in creating a just system of laws capable of protecting human life at all stages of its development."
On May 6, 2010 at a Catholic Community Conference on Capitol Hill, Pelosi said she believes she must pursue public policies “in keeping with the values” of Jesus Christ, “The Word made Flesh” and proceeded to argue its merits.
At the conference, “Knuckles” Pelosi said she is often asked what her favorite word is. She replied, “The Word”.
"It says it all for us…And that Word is, we have to give voice to what that means in terms of public policy that would be in keeping with the values of the Word. The Word. Isn't it a beautiful word when you think of it? It just covers everything. The Word."
Pelosi is selectively religious. She pontificates when it suits her agenda while receiving little criticism from the secular media. Let a Republican try that. They’d go down in flames.
Instapundit linked to Jennifer Rubin’s excellent analogy of what is in store for the 2010 mid-term elections. Smitty, of The Other McCain, nudged me into creating a Photoshop™ that aligns with the message of her commentary.
