I am guessing you have been watching Kellie Pickler in Dancing with the Stars.

Sending this one around. If only I had Instapundit’s reach.

Until the 2008 election it wouldn’t have occurred to me that projection could exist on the national level, but everything the left ever accused President Bush of being and doing, the President they elected is and does. (Begin with empty suit, puppet, etc, etc.)

Regarding the New Yorker piece, that points to why I strongly recommend the GOP and the right use a Bush v Obama frame that rehabilitates Bush’s legacy with a deliberate contrast to Obama’s shortcomings, failures, and trangressions in direct contrast.

The New Yorker’s reflexive anti-Bush fallback position highlights that the Democrats political advantage is not based on merit. Rather, it is based on their misinformation, propaganda, and false narrative that smeared the Bush administration and, at the same time, undermining our nation’s affairs as leader of the free world. And it worked for them two-fold. They’ve convinced people to fear, revile, and choose against the strawmanned GOP while diverting accountability from their own failings and trangressions.

If the GOP can directly counter the New Yorker pro-Dems frame by advancing the Obama v Bush frame, rehabilitate Bush’s legacy, and establish the simple theme that Bush was right and the Dems are wrong, they will pull the lynchpin of the Dems foundation, take the political high ground from the Dems, cast the Dems on the low ground, and go a long way to detoxifying and rebooting our political environment, and setting our nation’s affairs back on track.

Too many liberals today only see through the tribal prism, Us versus Them. Left versus Right. Democrats versus Republicans. They don’t see merits or principles or ethics except first through the Us versus Them prism.

It’s scary and destructive.

All under protection of the fifth column otherwise known as your neighbor who voted for him. Well, get in their face, bring a gun to the next knife fight, and above all find a dead guy to vote.

Just by chance, on the theme of solipsism and the left, see this from Allahpundit:

God help us.

No, really. Please. Help us.

Barry for the win. Precisely. That is why I never, never thought we were anything but underdogs in 2012. My guiding maxim was simple:

Any nation that is stupid enough to elect Obama once is stupid enough to elect him twice.

The unstated correlate (a kind of political Murphy’s Law):

Any nation that is stupid enough to elect Obama twice, will elect him twice.

and here I thought there was a law against the use of performance enhancing thugs,
