In a Washington Post story which desperately tries to disconnect Democrats from the disgraceful (and now 'aborted') John Roberts smear ad produced by NARAL, a long-time Democrat adviser has this to say:
"The problem is our politically impractical insistence on always residing on the moral high ground," said Jim Jordan, who was a longtime adviser to Kerry. "A large part of our ethos goes to what we perceive to be moral superiority and the sad truth is in politics that's sometimes inconvenient." (emphasis added)
Of course what Jordan is trying to say is that Democrats always try to do what is "right," and this is what has cost them elections. For a reality dose on this theory, read this.
But it is interesting to see a Democrat adviser actually admit that the policies -- and consequently the political tactics -- of today's political left are derivative of the fact that they consider themselves to be morally superior to everyone else, particularly we dastardly, evil conservatives.
Thanks for allowing me to add this to your party's "message."
