Nothing Excites Quite Like a Shiny New Logo

Earlier this week, the Democrats leaked to CNN that the head of the DNC was going to make a “major announcement” about “the future of the party” that would “excite Democrats across the country”. He unveiled the new hotness Wednesday, which turned out to be…this.

Yep, that’s the thing that’s going to drive Democrats all over America into paroxysms of fervor — a logo that looks like it should be on the top of a freshman term paper with the words “See Me” scribbled above it (or something a bit closer to home) and a slogan recycled from the last Presidential election.

Ace is less than enthused about the party currently running the nation (see also his other suggestions the party leadership can use to “excite Democrats across the country”).

This party has driven the country into the ground so far we need a blow-out preventer to keep from spilling into Hell and they’re trotting out a poorly conceived, terribly executed marketing ploy as something that will “excite” the base?

Excite them how? Push them from merely considering suicide into embracing the noose?

The Democrats’ knock is that they’re the party of big talk and no results, a party of noxious, preening gasbags perpetually engaged in a circle-jerk con of the American people, a party that speaks in platitudes and bromides and fails abysmally whenever entrusted with actual responsibility, and their “exciting” new way to combat this?

They drew a squiggle.

Here. Here’s your squiggle. That’ll be $14.3 trillion dollars and your children’s future, please. Thank you, drive through.

I don’t suppose we should be terribly surprised. For at least the past decade, the Democratic answer to every failure, electoral or policy, has been that its messaging was wrong. We’ve seen that plenty in just two years of the Obama Administration where America’s strong dislike for the President’s signature policies has been blown off as ignorance. The President himself said his biggest failing was not talking to us enough, even though he’s spent more time in front of television cameras than any President I can remember. The left’s policies are never to blame even if those advancing the policies can’t show a single time when they’ve worked before. So, instead of scrapping the ridiculously failed ~~Vote Buying~~ Stimulus Act (which only seems to have stimulated Washington, DC), the Democrats want to do it again and again.

Now it’s possible I’m wrong here. After all, I’m not a Democratic leader with a finger on the pulse of what excites the party faithful across the country (though Nazi signs seem to work for a certain segment of Democrats), but I’m not convinced that a ho-hum logo and yet another iteration of hopey-changitude is going to reverse the left’s dismal fortunes.
