Why Are Democrats Losing?

The post-mortem of this election will be all about how terrible a candidate John Kerry was and how brilliant Machiavellian Karl Rove was. It will all be about process for the simple reason that the MSM and the Dems can't face the simple truth that they lose because they are now and have too frequently been WRONG about the issues that matter to thinking Americans. Consider:

1. Democratic position on race A: if we bus schoolchildren so that different races have to go to school together it will foster racial harmony. WRONG.
2. Democratic position on race B: if we create a system of affirmative action race preferences for college admissions it will foster racial harmony. WRONG.
3. Democratic position on abortion: if we permit legal abortion it will cut down on the number of children born to unwed mothers. WRONG.
4. Democratic position on taxes A: confiscatory marginal tax rates have no effect on productivity or economic growth. WRONG.
5. Democratic position on taxes B: cutting marginal tax rates will not stimulate growth. WRONG.
6. Democratic position on deficits: deficits "crowd out" private borrowing and cause high interest rates. WRONG.
7. Democratic position on communism: just another form of viable social system. WRONG... communism everywhere has created a soul-killing and murderous kleptocracy.
8. Alger Hiss was innocent. WRONG.
9. If we pull out of Vietnam there won't be a bloodbath. WRONG.
10. If we push forward with Star Wars the Russians will get mad and bad things will happen. WRONG.
11. Ronald Reagan was stupid. WRONG.
12. George Bush is stupid. WRONG.
13. Bill Clinton didn't sleep with that woman. WRONG.
14. The memos were not forged. WRONG.

I could go on and on.
