Default Can I send a <face palm> to the DNC?

The Democratic National Committee is out Friday with a new television ad that looks forward to the November elections and closes with a cameo from former President George W. Bush.


Entitled "Big Choices," the ad frames the midterm elections as a choice between the policies of President Obama and national Democrats and the policies of Bush and the GOP. It captures a view of idealistic Americana –rolling fields of wheat, windmills, a teacher in a classroom, a welder in a factory–before Bush makes a surprise appearance with a verbal gaffe.
"You fool me, you can't get fooled again," Obama's Oval Office predecessor says in footage used in the ad.


Uh DNC, George W Bush ain't been in office since half past Jan 2009. The "hey it is still Bush's fault" scheme will drive independents away. It is time to put the past behind. We all know what George W. Bush did and we all have our opinions on whether it was good or bad. But what will count in November is what President Obama and the Democrats have done or not done.

Is poking fun at a misstatement of a past president really the core of the 2010 Democratic campaign????? DNC it is time to grow up. You guys are in control. Tell us what you have done (and make it good). But if you want to keep the independents, please knock off the junior high crap. Leave that crap to Palin and the tea<insert word of choice>.

Honestly, I don't know which party is worse. The Republicans or the Democrats these days. Each side seems to have morons in charge of the campaigns. I know that politics has to appeal to the lowest denominator, but is our denominator really this low????

I really want to vote FOR a candidate instead of voting AGAINST a candidate. Is that too much to ask?

/rant I need to switch to decaf. I really do.
