The Democratic Party desperately needs a guy with a pickup truck to run for the presidency.
Americans only process strong identities, and a guy with a pickup truck would shout to America, “I DO things – I fish, I take my kids RTVing, I load up with cases of Cab for the cellar – I’m a simple guy but I’m not dumb. Au contraire, keeping it simple is how I built a multi-billion-dollar empire – I DO things. I can fix this.”
Unfortunately, Democrats just talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, to an America that processes ‘do’ and not ‘think.’ Kerry talked about his war hero history to an America that doesn’t process history either. Luckily for GW, that was a bigger faux pas than Bush’s regular SNAFUs. But GW stays on track with what Americans want to hear. He might be vague and confused and a screwup, but he always promises to DO something, his way, no matter what. What exactly, doesn’t matter – He singlemindedly plugs away at “DOIN” this thang, and that processes. ‘His way or the highway’ certainly is offensive to many, but it’s very American and mythologic, especially in a contrived state of war.
Of course, there’s cracks, and stuff’s wearing thin (to the tune of historical debt and deficit by the “cut spending” blow smoke up your ass administration, Wiretapping/BigBrother will set you free, $284B in Iraq [as opposed to $150B estimate] and counting, lots of dead, burnt bodies, “nation building”, Halliburton, oil, WMD, etc), but it will be interesting.
If it’s not “tax and spend” Democrats, it’s “cut and spend” Republicans like crazed teenagers on a buying spree with Mommy and Daddy’s credit cards.
Ouch,
Ed
