Lethargy, Disillusionment or...

Do the Dems just have "more BDS-fueled energy to channel into the race?" as Malkin says?

Well, me personally, I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But the fact is the difference in voter turnout is due to the fact that they just have better candidates... and they all know it. Personally I believe we are just as a party heavily disappointed in our Republican field. Relative to Barak Obama and Hillary Clinton these guys have nothing to offer. We haven't been this bad off since Bob Dole. Below I will breakdown why I think this will be our downfall.

First, none of the 3 top candidates is a polarizing figure. Not one of the three has half of the Charisma that the two top Dem candidates have. Next we have their individual demons...

John McCain - Supported Amnesty for Illegals, does not support a marriage amendment and last but not least suggested recently at a debate that we should solve our Health Care crisis by purchasing our drugs from Canada. There are many more but those did it for me.

Mitt Romney - Was the Governor of the most liberal state in our union. Think about that for a moment, he got elected Governor by the same people who changed the laws in their state to say that homosexual marriage was ok, the same people who keep electing Ted Kennedy to the Senate term after term after term. In addition, (and this is a big one for me) he practices a religion that believes Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers, and that believes in the idea that God rules the universe from a planet called Kolob. And lastly who could forget his earlier endorsement by the Log Cabin boys. Still haven't heard a good answer to that one.

Mike Huckabee - Calls Bush foreign policy "Bunker Mentality". He proposes to completely do away with the IRS (Not a bad thought, but a very stupid idea) . His foreign policy experience is laughable and he just appears totally un-electable in the context of a general election.

The one consolation for me if the dems win in November will be that they only had these guys to beat. Its like pitting the New England Patriots against the my local Community College. That must piss a lot of you libs off. We will always be able to say if we lose, "Yeah but you only had (Fill in The Weak Republican Candidate Here) to beat", of course you won! If they can't beat us with one of these guys running, then they should all pack up and go home. In fact every time, at least in my lifetime, that we have had a strong candidate to offer we have won the White House which says to me that given the proper vehicle, our ideas always win. Pitty!

All of the voter turn out on the left is due to one thing. They are primed and ready for a fight this time around, they want this one bad, really, really bad. They prepared, they got two charismatic, intelligent, capable candidates who represent their views (however pathetic and wrong) and they have a charged up and mobilized base. It almost makes me chuckle to think that they probably could have even won this election with Gore or Kerry. Oh well, there is always the House and Senate I suppose...
