Shorter Brooks: Americans Really Approve of the Bush Administration. Democrats Will Destroy Themselves If They Repudiate His Policies

Yes, this is actually what David Brooks argues today. He says the Democrats are doomed if they win the presidency because the American people will be really upset if we withdraw from Iraq (?!!?!) and support the domestic policies that are also supported by the majority of the population.

Of course, what he doesn't mention is that reallocating tax dollars from the war to domestic programs would pay for them.

But then, Brooks' problem is that he projects his own desires onto the American people. Since he would be upset to see big domestic programs and no wars, he assumes everyone else would too.

Oh Times Select. Come back to me forsaken lover.
