There may be a reason that the American Prospect is losing money- the people working there are morons. The Tapped crew is your average, run-of-the-mill braying mule- that is a typical modern Democrat. Devoid of ideas, bereft of any moral backbone, concerned only with winning, and consumed by “Gotcha!” politics. Excellent example is Tapped Quoting Bob Woodwarrd’s new book:
Woodward Quote: The president is shown to be preoccupied by public perceptions of the war, looking at polling data from Rove, now his senior adviser, even after pretending to have no interest.
Tapped Response: We also thought Bush led “based upon principle and not polls and focus groups.” So much for that.
Let’s set aside the fact that they are just taking Woodward’s quotes as if they were gospel (if it is in print, why, Golly, it must be true!). But do you notice how these morons get it wrong, yet again?
Guys- It is ok to have a principled position and to examine the polls and try to figure out how to lead the public to support and embrace your position. That is what Bush is doing. What Clinton did was merely look at the polls and do whatever the hell the most popular thing was. There is a difference.
And Democrats wonder why no one takes them seriously.
