Talk about Frosting my butt.

I know I should quit reading Martin Frost. It just makes me think that maybe Tom DeLay did do something nice for the Democratic Party – he helped us get rid of Martin Frost. Having even one single nice thought about Tom DeLay would make my hair fall out. I am sure of it. So, I have to quit reading Martin Frost.

For those of you from foreign states, Martin Frost was a congressman from Dallas who got slaughtered during the DeLay redistricting in Texas by Pete Sessions. Frost decided he could win by running away from the Democratic Party. He tried, like other Blue Dogs, to be Republican Lite. They got beat so bad they had to unzip their pants to see out.

The only two who survive to this day from DeLay’s sucker punch to white, male Democrats are Gene Green and Lloyd Doggett – the two who had the courage to stand for something other than just election. They are both unapologetic progressives.

But, back to Martin Frost.

In Politico, Frost wrote something called “Obama’s Religion Problem.”

I need to start with a disclaimer: I want President Barack Obama to be reelected, no matter whom the GOP nominates.

Having said that, I find disquieting parallels between the way Obama handled the recent dust-up with the Catholic Church and contraception and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process a year ago, when he talked about returning to pre-1967 borders.

Both these self-inflicted wounds involved important voting blocs crucial to his reelection Consider, the difference between carrying the Catholic vote — as he did with 52 percent in 2008 — and losing it would be significant in swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin.

His opening statement tells us that he most certainly wants to reelect President Obama, but from reading the rest of the article, for the life of me, I cannot figure out why. Frost reminds me of the so-called Christians who have to remind you every five minutes that they are Christians because you sure can’t tell it by the way they act. If Martin Frost is for a president who puts politics before policy, then he needs to scamper on over to the GOP where he has been tottering for decades instead of trying to pull Democrats into the waiting arms of conservatism.

President Obama’s genius in solving the Catholic contraception issue is what happens when a leader has an open mind and is willing to lead. I heard a rabid feminist and a Catholic Nun praise President Obama on the same day with the solution. What women and Catholics see as government working to solve issues, Martin Frost sees as a self-inflicted religious wound.

My friend, Texas Gulf Coast Democratic media mogul and emailer, Carl Whitmarsh, keeps 10,000 area Democrats informed every day. He dutifully sends Frost’s weekly column from Politico to us. I want him to continue to do that so that I can have the exquisite pleasure of hitting the delete button when I see Frost’s name.
