Wolcott: Merry Kristof

[Snellius]

That great humanitarian Nicholas Kristof, speaking from the pulpit of the op-ed page of the NY Times, argues that to become the majority party again Democrats need to get over their sissy hangups about what's right and wrong, and show that they're strong enough to take on the weak.

"I wish that winning were just a matter of presentation," he laments. "But it's not. It involves compromising on principles. Bill Clinton won his credibility in the heartland partly by going home to Little Rock during the 1992 campaign to preside over the execution of a mentally disabled convict named Ricky Ray Rector.
...
No, something ballsier is needed for a turnaround in perception. A taboo or two needs to be smashed.

Therefore I am proposing that the official Democratic slogan for 2008 be "Shoot a Fag for Jesus."

It's a simple, catchy slogan that will look good on a bumperstickers, yet carry a multilateral strike: pro-guns, anti-gay, and unashamedly Christian.

Since abortion is so problematic for Democrats, "Shoot a Babykiller for Jesus" might do the trick in some of the battleground states as a supplemental bumpersticker.

Nuke a gay whale for Jesus

2. How about we just make sure the votes get counted properly?

I'll take my chances that we have a better vision for America without pandering to the ignorant and ill informed.

3. Barvo for Wolcott

I'm glad someone has spotted the dangerous way some democrats are thinking.
