Should he stay or should he go?

According to this article, there are many Democrats who are unhappy with the leadership of Terry McAuliffe as the head of the Democratic National Committee. He was installed by Bill Clinton and his lovely wife Bruno to ensure their continued dominance of the party. McAuliffe is a strident partisan and obnoxiously devoted to the party’s least savory aspects, like homosexual activism, abortion (natch! This is the Abortion Party!), high taxes, etc., etc.
As the top political strategist for the Democrats, McAuliffe has lost the U.S. Senate, the California governorships, and as of this week, the state houses of Kentucky and Mississippi. Let me say that as a Republican, I am perfectly happy with the leadership of Terry McAuliffe, and I hope he keeps his job for the remainder of the decade.

  1. I doubt that it is really Terry McAuliffe’s fault, but the fault of the message the whole Democratic party has come to represent. McAuliffe has just represented the message of the Democratic status quo and like the majority of the leaders in that party have refused to come to terms with the realities of a post 9-11 world.
    Just as I doubt that it is RNC Chairman Ed Gillespie or his predecessors that brought about the tide of Republicans wins.

  2. Some Dems are angry over the selection of Boston as the convention site next year. The logic is that if it’s in a city that is already heavily democratic, then what’s the point? I don’t know if I agree with that, but it’s a general feeling in these parties. And it was McAuliffe’s decision. So if people are angry about that, well, then he can take the blame.

  4. If the Evil Party wants to do the smart thing, they’d have dropped McAuliffe after the 2002 elections at the latest. As a supporter of the Stupid Party, I’d love to see McAuliffe have lifetime tenure as chairman of the Evil Party.

  5. I’d say that Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga.) has it right when he says the Dems have become a party which puts their narrow special interest voter blocs over regional political concerns. Beyond that though, it’s also a stifling of any strain of thought outside pro-abortion, pro-feminist ways of thinking.
    Abortion is quite simply the central sacrament of the unholy church of the Democrats. If you don’t support it on demand, you have no chance of advancing in a national election. This is why Jesse Jackson, Dennis Kucinich, Joe Lieberman, and others have moved from pro-life or pro-choice with exceptions viewpoints to being pro-abortion on demand.
