Mary Matalin: Nancy Pelosi, Democrats Running Scared

by JASmius

Established fact:  All Democrats are !#$%.  Like when Agent Coulson told Loki that he would lose, Loki inquired as to where his disadvantage was, and Coulson replied, "It's in your nature."  That got Loki monologueing, which gave Coulson the opportunity to blast the erstwhile "god" through a bulkhead.  Didn't The Incredibles ever play in Asgard?

Because all Democrats are !#$%, it is in their nature to smear, vilify, character-assassinate, and hatemonger Republicans, the same way that they respire oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.  It's an organic, almost involuntary reflex.

Almost, that is.  To the degree that volition is involved, it can be for offensive or defensive purposes.  These days, Donks' motivation is most definitely defensiveMrs. James Carville performs the public service of expositing the reason why:

Top Republican political strategist Mary Matalin says House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is doing a "Kabuki dance" by claiming Republicans are "wasting their time" using the Affordable Care Act as a campaign issue.

"It's all a Kabuki dance. Obviously, they are scared and they're trying to scrounge off a strategy and they've come up with, let's see Obamacare on the offense and attack Republicans," Matalin told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.

"Do you think anyone is listening to Nancy Pelosi?"

Pelosi took on the GOP after Republican newcomer David Jolly beat well-known Democrat Alex Sink in a special election for Florida’s 13th Congressional District on Tuesday. Many see the victory as a referendum on Obamacare.

"Sink — the kitchen sink had him, pun intended — [she] lost and that is not a Republican district," Matalin said.

"I don’t see anything in the midterm elections that would portend anything but a positive outcome for Republicans."

I will admit that the "glass half empty" side of my psyche wondered if the visceral awfulness of ObamaCare would diminish with time and all of O's unconstitutional Executive decrees deferring the worst parts of that awfulness might not successfully anesthetize the LIVs and NIVs given the Polaroid-esque short attention span of what passes for American culture in the early twenty-first century.  That's what made the special House election in Florida-13 such a harbinger.  If Sink had won, Crazy Nancy....would have been saying the same thing, I guess, about ObamaCare being an electoral boon that Democrat candidates should embrace and tout with all their might, all their strength, and all their soul.  But she'd have had an election result that could have been spun her way a whole helluva lot easier than what actually did transpire.  Given that polls of this race showed Sink leading by high single-digits right up to Election Day, and then David Jolly - who was, let us say, not exactly a Tea Party stalwart, being (1) a lobbyist and (2) one of the top aides to his late boss and now-predecessor Bill Young, who, by the way, was a high-ranking member of the House Pork Appropriations Committee - wins by three percentage points even with a Libertarian sucking away almost ten percent of the center-right vote, after having had the no-brainier common sense to run against ObamaCare and at least sound like a TPer....

Well, let's just say that it bodes well for Republican chances in November.  That the question will be not whether the GOP retakes the Senate, but by how big a margin.  And that Pachyderm election hopes will be vastly more difficult for Democrats to dismantle than they realize.

Even if they are all a bunch of !#$%.
