'I hope that the republicans do win'.

Yes, that stunning statement was made by a local democratic party leader.

I was rather hoping that he was joking. He wasn't.

His wish is that the republicans win the elections and take both houses of government. He actually wishes that...

Why?

You might love this one...

So that when the republicans have screwed things up 'yet again', the democrats can come in and 'clean up the mess again'.

I said 'Huh?'

'Yep', said the deluded person, 'if the republicans win and they screw things up again then we democrats can come back in and clean things up'.

'Oh, right' says I. Just like the stuff that Obama has 'cleaned up' since he got into office. FISA, DADT, TARP, Iraq War, torture, spying, Israel, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the military industrial complex, lies, crooked judges, secret prisons, black ops...

He's been so busy 'cleaning up things' that he sure missed a lot of them.

Instead of running on how bad the republicans are, how bad they have mismanaged the country even from the minority position, this walking brain donor wants to lose so that 'we' can win?

No wonder the democrats are so fucked up and dead. They apparently deserve it if anyone in the national office believes this twaddle...

You don't win by losing unless it's Russian roulette...
