Reaganism is the last refuge of the scoundrel

Democrats are now trying to wrap themselves in the flag of fiscal responsibility.

"We have managed to acquire $13 trillion of debt on our balance sheet," he fumed to a roomful of voters. "In my view, we have nothing to show for it."

And that was a Democrat, Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado, who voted "yes" on the stimulus, the health-care overhaul, increased education funding and other costly bills Congress approved under his party's control.

Hey, way to hone that credibility, Mike! Play with fire, burn the house down and then cry about having no place to sleep.

I don't think this strategy is going to work, at least not for candidates whose fingerprints and DNA are all over the sky-high national debt, in states and districts where voters are actually informed and justifiably outraged. So, see ya.
