Staying on message

Over the past few days, I've seen a number of interviews with White House spokespeople on issues such as Social Security, the John Bolton nomination to the United Nations and gas prices -- and ya' know what? They've been incredibly consistent and on-message: Republicans good, Democrats bad.

I know it's important to keep the issues simple so that we the American public can understand them, but this kind of political potshot free-for-all just can't be healthy for the policy debate.

And the Democrats really stink at this game too. I don't know if utimately that's a good or bad thing.
