Here’s something we’ve been puzzling over:  are Democrats delusional about 2010?

We keep seeing article after article in the MSM along the meme of “2010 won’t be like 1994″.  These people insist, over and over, that Americans are not going to punish Democrats for all the crazy things they’ve been up to since Dr. Utopia took office.

They seem to believe that 2008 was the year America shifted Left, and that Americans are secretly thrilled with everything that’s been going on these last 11 months.

We don’t believe that to be the case at all.

1994 was a reaction to the Clintons, with the country thinking they had moved too far left when they campaigned as centrists.  Dr. Utopia claimed to be a centrist, but anyone paying attention knows he is the most radical leftist to ever run for, let alone win, the presidency.  His entire Chicago team brought to Washington is leftist-palooza.  There is not one person we know who is happy with the Utopiacare takeover of healthcare.  Despite the MSM’s best interests to kill the story, people we know are talking about Climategate, and how Democrats have been lying to them for years.  People are talking about Democrats threatening to close military bases in Nebraska if Senator Nelson does not vote for Utopiacare…they are actually playing politics with jobs and national security on their fool’s quest to nationalize 1/6 of the American economy.

In 1994, there was not anger like this, palpable and real, so in your face.  That was our senior year of high school for most of us.  We remember Newt Gingrich coming seemingly out of nowhere with The Contract for America, and people racing to get behind that and dump the Democrats.

We believe early next year, Sarah Palin will come up with something similar, and her supporters will dovetail with the tea party crowd and push a great resistance to everything Dr. Utopia and his band of lunatics is doing.  We think she will eminently be more successful than Gingrich, if she chooses to fill the leadership role like this.

Palin just needs to come up with something simple regular Americans can wrap their heads around — with a catchphrase they can repeat, but on bumper stickers, and shout loudly at rallies and town hall meetings.  “Hope!” and “Change!” were very effective tools last year.  No one, to this day, knows what they mean, but it sure got idiots revved up for Dr. Utopia.  “Contract with America” was also a great tool:  though people might not have known what it meant, it sure sounded important…and made people feel Republicans were going to do something considered and well-planned to get America back on course again.  It sounded like they knew what they were doing and could be trusted, after people felt betrayed by the Clinton administration’s lurch to the left.

So, we don’t know if the MSM is operating a deliberate misinformatin campaign, or if they, like Democrats, are just delusional in thinking “2010 won’t be so bad” for them.  Unemployment was 7% back in 1994.  It’s 15% now, and 25-30% in some big cities.  People we know who have NEVER struggled to pay bills are having to eat Ramen noodles and learn to sew because they can’t afford to buy new clothes.  People we know are having mini-nervous breakdowns every day because they can’t go on vacation, can’t afford cable TV, can’t go out to dinner anymore.  And these are the people who still have jobs!  We didn’t see ANYTHING like that in 1994.

People are mad.  While they suffer, the White House hosts lavish parties, and Democrats flit around spending more and more money on junk, wasting resources, and hobbling together secret, incompetent plans to raise health premiums and destroy healthcare as we know it.

Maybe the MSM wants Republicans and Independents to sit their butts home and not vote in 2010.  We’re moderate Democrats here in Illinois who plan on voting straight ticket Republican next year to teach the DNC a strong lesson.  The Liberal radicals in charge now need to get the boot…and we think Americans at large are going to send that same message, no matter what the MSM says now.

What think you?
