They don't like the dog food

William Galston, than whom there is no better thinker among Democrats today, has been reading the same polls as his Brookings colleague E. J. Dionne, but takes a much harsher view of what Democrats can do. “In a blogpost on The New Republic website headlined “Prepare yourself for Speaker Boehner,” Galston tell House Democrats “it’s time to press the panic button,” and cites the analysis of political scientist Alan Abramowitz on Larry Sabato’s website and the analysis by Democratic pollster Stanley Greenberg of the poll he and Republican pollster Glenn Bolger conducted for NPR. Here’s Galston’s advice for House Democrats: “

Democrats must face the fact that much of the legislation that seems both necessary and proper to them looks quite different to the portion of the electorate that holds the balance of political power. And they must face a choice as well—between (to be blunt) the politics of conviction and the politics of self-preservation. They can continue on as they have been going since January 2009, or they can adopt a concerted strategy designed to take the edge off public anger and reduce their losses. They can spend the summer arguing about matters like immigration, climate change, and the war in Afghanistan, all of which are valid and important but way down on the public’s list of the most urgent problems—or they can refocus on jobs and the economy, reinforcing the ‘Recovery Summer’ theme the White House unveiled on Thursday.”

Read that first sentence again. It reminds me of the old story about the advertising agency and the dog food. The best ads in the world failed to increase sales of the dog food. So they sent a market researcher in and found the reason: The dogs didn’t like the dog food. The Democrats’ problem is similar. The American people don’t like the dog food (“legislation that seems both necessary and proper to them”) produced by the Obama Democrats.

shoutGeee! Great post!

 

We will all be eating dog food & liking it, if the Obamunists can provoke their "one-world shattering" crisis. The plan is for all the "health care oil-slicked" Dem incumbents, to come back after November & pass one more parcel of the Progressive agenda....probably Cap & Trade.

They'll be getting their instructions soon; since they're going to be falling on their swords for their health care vote....do just this one last thing and....[ add-promise-of-life-after-office-here--> X ]

 

Interesting factoid: Government has insisted over the years, that dog & cat food have a minimum daily requirement, because it was determined in the 70's that up to 30% of all pet food [canned] was being consumed by humans.

It's not like they weren't warned...see last summers townhall meetings.

Reminds me of the GOP after the 04 elections, they didn't listen either.
