Have you noticed? There is a dearth of congressional Democrats on the news programs. Not too many are stepping in front of the cameras to promote the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda.
That's quite an about face from the stampedes and flying elbows we witnessed as they flocked and jockeyed to be the center of attention in support of Obama Care. Their disappearance may be attributable to a laryngitis epidemic.
This would explain why they no longer answer their phones or participate in town hall meetings. And it's logical to conclude that their refusal to allow anti-socialists into their legislative negotiations saved the Republicans from this infection.
If their condition persists, Mr. Obama may have to supply teleprompters to the House and Senate leadership. If the screens are rotated 180 degrees, the Americans, like those who support the Tea Party, could read the communications.
A computer generated voiceover would guarantee balanced access to the reading, writing and arithmetic impaired who constitute the bulk of the Democratic base. And as customary, these free loading zombies could depend on the NBC, CBS and ABC anchors to repeatedly drill them on the merits of socialism.
But the teleprompter solution may not be enough. So expect to hear the spokespeople for the congressional Democrats to scream foul, as their efforts to mount mass rallies in support of socialism have failed miserably.
With the exception of illegal aliens, it seems their base won't turn out unless they are enticed with free tee-shirts, free transportation, free meals and refreshments, government paid signage, and a stipend to hold them aloft. This glitch has the Democrats in a panic. They will need serious money to win.
So it would not be unexpected if the Democratic candidates demanded direct access to the unspent Stimulus funds.
It wouldn't raise an eyebrow if they dipped into the nation's largest political slush fund for national advertising. What's to lose? Their constituency regards it as free money, and they have already lost favor with the majority of taxpayers.
Best of all, they could campaign without the need to address the issues in person. Of course, some will have to debate their opponents. This nasty problem can be solved if they employ the same strategy they used to pass Obama Care.
They can insist on un-televised debates behind closed doors and simply declare the winners. Pelosi and Reid could then announce that the Republicans refused to participate. And naturally, they can always depend on the broadcast news anchors to punctuate their victory from sea to shiny sea.
The Democrats realize it's going to be a tough year. They will hire Al Gore to backstop their hide & deny strategy, figuring that anyone capable of acquiring a personal fortune selling a global warming hoax would be an ideal spokesman.
Rumor has it, he has proposed sending all the ballots to the White House from the states which incur Democratic losses. Henry Waxman, Barney Frank and Maxine Waters have volunteered to recount the ballots.
You have to admire their determination and unity of purpose. They have unanimously agreed on a political theme for the 2010 mid-term elections, "Only Racist Terrorists Hate Deficits."
