Blame Carter
This Move America Forward commercial, which urges a censure of Jimmy Carter, got us thinking.
Has it gotten so bad for some GOP activists that they can't even find a Clinton scandal to blame for today's woes?
Heck, why not create a 'Daisy'-like ad blaming Lyndon Johnson. If not for his dithering and mismanagement, the post-war liberal consensus might not have split and the country would be united on Iraq.
Or blame JFK. We wouldn't have gotten into Vietnam in the first place. Americans wouldn't be afraid of prolonged foreign engagements...
Or blame Eisenhower. Yeah -- that partaker of proxy wars!
Wasn't it FDR who got us into WWII after a blissful 20s? If we continued with isolationism, we wouldn't have the immigration woes we have today.
That's the new slogan for '06: Vote Republican. Not the party of FDR.
