The Party of Unhappiness

It must be hell being a Democrat. Everyday, you get up in the morning hoping that somebody is more unhappy today than they were yesterday. And if you are not, then they will think up some way to convince you that you are you unhappy, so that they may exploit that unhappiness.

This year could mark the emergence of what might be called mortgage moms -- voters whose sense of well-being is freighted with anxiety about their families' financial squeeze. Democrats are betting that this factor is strong enough to trump security or cultural values issues.

Good grief. No wonder Democrats are always such sourpusses.
