Default Are the Democrats genetically Naive?

An opinion article from the "Moderate Voice" ... posted as opinion here ... not fact.
The writer claims to have been both a liberal and a conservative.
Actually - I thought it was a bit funny so I posted it.
If you can't laugh at yourself then the article is a waste of your time regardless of side.

Quote of the Day: Are The Democrats Genetically Naive? | The Moderate Voice

Quote:
All of which prompts me to wonder (for the umpteenth time) whether there is some fundamental flaw in the Democratic gene pool that fuels their perpetually delusional belief that noble intentions are sufficient to prevail in a knife fight.
Quote:
And now we have the Obama people, waking up to the idea that maybe it’s not politically wise to sit mute and allow themselves to be tarred as fascists who would euthanize granny , ration health care, and slash Medicare benefits.

(It’s priceless to hear the Republicans portraying themselves as the defenders of Medicare, given the fact that, if they had been in charge back in 1965, they never would have enacted Medicare in the first place. But I digress.)
Quote:
The Republican right understands the power of the visceral; it knows how to stoke emotions at the expense of civility. This is not exactly a fresh observation, yet it’s amazing how flat-footed Democrats seem always to discover it anew.

They seem forever convinced that the power of high ideals should be sufficient for victory - that, in the present case, Americans should simply be convinced, on the merits, that health care reform is preferable to the dysfunctional status quo
