Fool Me Twice...

With Ahnold's entry into the California governor's race, the Democrats are making the same mistake that they made with Bush:

HE HAS NO POLITICAL EXPERIENCE. NO JOB SKILLS WHATSOEVER. HIS ABILITY TO SPEAK IS MARGINAL.

PEOPLE! DO WE REALLY NEED TO ELECT ANOTHER REPUBLICAN MORON?

Yes, Schwarzenegger is a novice as a politician, or at least as a professional politician. But how shallow do you have to be to not see that he's a pretty smart operator? (Last Action Hero notwithstanding...) Do they really believe that anyone with a foreign accent is an idiot? (And will the Hispanic voters be pleased to hear that interpretation?)

The Democrats are in a particularly weak position: they can't seriously support Davis -- and the site linked above doesn't even try -- so they have to ask the electorate to trust them this time, even though they obviously screwed up last time.

WE BELIEVE THAT GRAY DAVIS IS PROBABLY THE WORST GOVERNOR CALIFORNIA HAS EVER HAD TO ENDURE. BUT WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL IS A SICK PERVERSION OF GOVERNMENT ... GREY DAVIS DESERVES A SPANKING, NOT A RECALL.

Now there's a sentiment that will motivate people to go out and pull the lever for Grey: yeah, he sucks, but he doesn't suck that badly...

(BTW, sorry about the SHOUTING in the quoted sections above, but it's in the original. And that's kind of the problem, isn't it? Like spoiled five-year-olds, they seem to think that everyone will come around and do what they want if they just state their desires LOUDLY ENOUGH.)

UPDATE: "Pundit" at WhatsAPundit.com had the good sense to run a whois on the domain, and found a bogus name, address, and phone number. (Although (555) 555-5555 is kind of appropriate, at least if you've seen the aforementioned Last Action Hero.) Why the anonymity?
