I liken the traditional Democrats to the secret battle plan from Black Adder 4.

Capt. E. Blackadder: "We'll all get out of our trenches and slowly march across No Man's Land?" Capt. Darling: "How do you know that? It's classified information!" Capt. E. Blackadder: "It's what we did the last time, the time before and the previous seventeen times before that. Gen. Sir A.H. Melchitt: "PRECISELY! The absolute last thing the watchful Hun will suspect is us doing this again and thus we will take him completely by surprise!"
