Possums better represent wimpy Democrats (snip)
Some children let the schoolyard bully muscle lunch money out of them; others tangle with him until he stops. The kids who went hungry everyday grew up to be today's Democrats. Like doormats, they lie there getting soiled every time the radical right has a smear campaign afoot. Instead of a powerful back-kicking donkey, the Democrat mascot ought to be a possum. Playing dead when someone is after their hide doesn't help them either.

Reeling crazily after being rope-a-doped out of the White House by lightweight champion George Bush and his Supreme Court corner men, weak-kneed Democrats wobbled around Capital Hill feebly agreeing to the Republican tax-and-terror agenda with the same timidity that got their lunch pail ripped off in grade school. It's shameful. Democrats have done everything along with Republicans lately, except get out of their SUVs long enough to drive the direction of national politics.

Southerners figure the dog - not grown men - ought to roll over when someone yells. That's why they aren't impressed with the party of the left. Democrats don't understand that sophisticated Internet campaigns and slick TV ads will not win votes from fellows who drive around with coonhound ears flapping out the back of their truck. They have chickens that fight back. The South will never vote for folks who don't stand up for themselves, no matter what a computer says.
