The Democrats opened the 2010 campaign trail with a tired and true approach: blame Bush for everything. However, those rotten tomatoes being tossed their way are not directed at anyone except the Dems themselves, and no amount of bobbing and weaving will help.The fact is Obama’s ratings are lower than Bush’s, so it makes no sense to dish off to a past administration which is actually more popular. Time to stand up and deliver!
Realizing this, the Democrats are now trying to position themselves as “budget balancers”. However, they’ve applied this label to an approach which won’t hold up at the ballot box. Their idea is to run spending up as high as possible, then squeeze the citizenry for additional taxes tp balance the budget. This isn’t what the typical voter would like to see, and they won’t endorse it no matter what euphemistic label is employed.
Everyone attempts to interpret the results of major elections as a “referendum”. I predict the 2010 elections will be a clear referendum in favor of accountability and smaller government.
