You know what I find really really reeeeeeeeeeeeeally interesting right now?

20. First, "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," and success is its own reward. So, I'm not

really surprised that Democrats would adopt the same methods. What DOES surprise me is that Republicans don't seem to have been EXPECTING it! Maybe Democrats have been feckless cowards for so long that they really NEVER DID expect them to punch back, or PUNCH FIRST?

Second, I wouldn't call Atwater or Rove masters political JuJitsu. This doesn't take SKILL! The only thing that's required is A) Ruthlessness, and B) a LACK of SHAME. The truth is that Democrats have never wanted to use these tactics before because, frankly, they were afraid it would make them look STUPID and CHEESY at all the COCKTAIL PARTIES the DNC people go to. "Say, Charles, don't you feel rather foolish having your candidate wrap himself in the flag like that on TV?"

But as for JuJitsu, nope it's nothing like that. All you have to do is SUCKER PUNCH your opponent in the face, and then KEEP PUNCHING while he's on his heels, and never has a chance to recover. (Sorry for the ridiculous explanation of school yard bully tactics, but apparently the elites in the Democratic Party never went to the sort of school where they had a chance to SEE that strategy in action.) And that's exactly what the Republicans have done to the Democratic candidate in every single election since NIXON. And let's be honest here, the only times that tactic HASN'T WORKED were the elections where the Republican candidate (or his predecessor) KNOCKED HIMSELF out.

Carter only beat Ford because NIXON knocked him out.
Clinton only beat Bush because he didn't follow the doctrine, raised taxes, and his own party turned on him.
And Obama beat McCain because BUSH knocked McCain out. (And Palin kicked him when he was on the canvas.)
