2014: DEMOCRATS CLAIM THEIR CHANCES REMAIN VERY GOOD…


You know, I’ve often found myself wondering what it must be like to be a Democrat. Because no matter how hard I try to see things as they do, I can’t. I mean, what is it that makes a person, or in this case an entire political party that oddly enough calls itself the Democratic Party, to so hate the country in which they live? And to hate it to the point of having no other desire, or purpose, than to leave no stone unturned, nor lie untold, in what has been their continuing effort to enslave their fellow Americans, to bring ‘the people’ under the ‘control’ of an all powerful federal government bureaucracy. What is it that drives them in their perverted effort to "fundamentally transform", to the point of being unrecognizable, from that which has worked quite well for over 200 years? And to then vehemently deny that that is what they desire and denounce those who make such claims as being nothing more than right-wing extremists.

Debbie Wizzerman Schultz was asked on this past Sunday’s ‘Meet the Press’, if this November’s midterm elections could be seen as being a referendum on Barry and his policies, and she was very quick to answer, "No, absolutely not." Thinking we’re stupid enough to believe her, she then went on to add, "[T]hese elections, particularly the Senate elections, are referendums on the candidates running." And then she was asked about those vulnerable Democrats who have criticized Barry's flawed healthcare law. Wizzerman Schultz’s response was nothing more than the regurgitation of current Democrat talking points. She said, "They have to talk about and focus on the issues that are important to their constituents. And what's also true is, if you look at the success rate and the track record of these incumbent members -- Mark Pryor, Mary Landrieu, Mark Begich -- they are all ahead of any of their Republican opponents."

But as is usually the case, she was far from finished in her spewing of her party’s propaganda. She went on to say, "And these Republicans are mired in a civil war where the Tea Party has won, and they are consistently nominating the most extremist candidates. And we're on offense in states as well, so you've got Georgia and Kentucky and even Mississippi where we have a very good chance to pick up both seats. So this election is going to be quite competitive all the way to the end, but we have to turn our voters out. That's the bottom line." When asked if Democrats are "excited" enough about Obamacare to get out and vote in November, Wizzerman Schultz said voter turnout is critical in every election. She said, "And I would and will match up our ground game and our turnout operation, which ran circles around the Republicans in 2012 and in 2008,any day of the week. We have senators across their country, House members."

And still she went on saying, "There's 14 open seats in the House, 11 of which Democrats have an advantage, only three of which you would say the -- lean more to the GOP in terms of advantage. You have the Republican Party, who was strangled by the tea party. They are weighed down by Republicans primaries in which the Tea Party candidates are the likely winners." And she finally concluded by saying, "And we have countless elections now that Democrats have won because the Republicans have nominated extremists that they're voters reject, and that's the advantage we will have going into this election." Personally, I’m sure if this was an attempt by Ms. Wizzerman Schultz to convince herself, or those watching. Because that what lies ahead for the Democrats this November is likely to be very different from the image she attempted to create here. But none the less, I’m sure we’ll be hearing much the same in the months to come.
