Tired of GOP Incompetence

Occasionally the Curmudgeon will see a series of signs in road medians in Northern Virginia saying "Tired of Corruption? Vote Democratic."

Democratic candidates aren't going to win because of voters upset over Republican corruption, other than in those particular races affected directly by corruption.

A better message would be "Tired of Incompetence? Vote Democratic."

Because truly, it is Bush's incompetence in handling the Iraq war, Katrina, Medicare and other issues, and Congress's refusal to call him to the carpet, that is going to sweep the GOP from power.

(Independent voters, in particular, will recall that while Iraq devolved into civil war this summer, GOP leaders in Congress decided to "rally the base" by holding show votes on gay marriage and flag burning, as well as a serious vote on stem cells. Time to pay the piper, folks.)
