Watching the polls turn against your candidates in the most liberal states must be upsetting.
Viewing commercials where your party's candidates run against you and your policies must also be difficult.
Given all this, I understand the need to want to lash out against someone, but hurling completely baseless accusations against the opponent party? Really? Just Sunday on live television David Axelrod accused Karl Rove and the Chamber of Commerce of allowing foreign money to fund American campaigns. When the program's host asked him for proof that the money was anything more than de minimis, Axelrod said, “Do you have any evidence that it’s NOT? The fact is that the Chamber [of Commerce] has asserted that, but they won’t release any information about where their campaign money is coming from.” Rightly, the host shut down the line of questioning.
One day later, Joe "Genius" Biden claimed that if the Republicans gain control of Congress, they will challenge the constitutionality of social security, a program that has been in existence for decades, just like health care reform, a program that has not yet come to fruition. His basis? He claimed they were similar because they required that all taxpayers participate.
It's all so silly. I'm just glad they're hurling pointless accusations and we haven't been stupid enough to give them any red meat or real scandals this go round.
