Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL 20th) appeared on FNC's Special Report to bash the so called Ryan-Romney Budget. But she seems to have gotten stumped on fillibustering over the budgetary process. Brett Baier gently asked the head of the Democrat National Committee where was a Democrat budget in the United States Senate.
This sort of Donkey-Kong cognitive dissonance is common-place. Recently, an acquaintance was urging friends to prevent cuts in the NHS budget. When I kindly suggested focusing efforts on convincing Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) to pass a budget, which the upper chamber has not done in nearly 1100 days, I got the standard lefty line that blames Republicans. When the budgetary process was explained that it only needed a simple majority, the next tactic was to demonize the source, but then pretending like the insipid interlocutor was just joking.
The Blame Bush mantra will work on the base voter, but it is unclear if that will inspire as many as during the 2008 cycle, especially in an anemic growth economy. But independent voters will not be impressed by transparent partisan pap, especially when their pocketbooks are hurting.
Maybe the DNC needs to embrace change by switching messengers. Perhaps Vice President Joe Biden is available. Biden recently gave such a following answer about the oil industry that he spoke for 11 minutes seemingly without using a period.
