The General's heart soars whenever he sees Democrats betraying their basic values. Indeed, my little soldier awakens from his paralysis and stands at attention every time Joe Lieberman praises the Eternal War Against Brown People or Joe Biden humps the leg of a credit card magnate like a hounddog at a Santorum family picnic. Of course, it doesn't mean that I'm inclined to vote for them--not as long as there are real Republicans in the race--it's just fun to see them debase themselves in a fruitless effort to pander to folks like me.
That's why I'm so happy to see Ed Rendell and the Democratic establishment doing everything they can to convince pro-choicers to abandon plans to run against Sen. Santorum. It's good to see the Democrats adopting a patriarchal approach to women's rights. We'll applaud them for doing so right up to the moment we pull the lever for Santorum.
They should consider a similar approach for winning back the South, a region that was solidly blue until the Democrats embraced civil rights. "Segregation now and forever," should be their rallying cry. They'll win the respect of every confederate-American from Little Rock to Tallahassee. Heck, it might even get them a few votes if the Republican Party should suddenly disintegrate.
