As they say, there is no honor among thieves, and likewise much the same can, I think, be said whenever referencing Democrats. Because as the midterm election grow ever nearer, Democrats can already be heard starting to play the blame game as they now being to face the very real possibility of losing the Senate in November. Because to their way of thinking there could never be any rational explanation for such a thing to ever occur.
So it is now because of that apparent eventuality that tempers appear to be to running rather short now that we are essentially less than a month out from Election Day. And adding fuel to that which at least appears to a foregone conclusion, is the fact that there are now a growing number of polls that would seem to show that Democrat candidates continue to trail in those crucial contests that may decide which party ends up with control of Congress.
The stress being felt within the Democrat Party was made rather public last week when the behind-the-scenes tension kind of spilled, and rather vocally, out into the open. It was then that we had ex-Senate Majority Leader Tom "Douche Bag’ Daschle, Democrat, questioning ‘Dingy Harry’ Reid’s decision not to endorse Democrat Rick Weiland in South Dakota’s Senate race. Tommy apparently saw that as a tactical error on Reid’s part.
But with control of the Senate now seen as being very much in jeopardy, there are more than a few Democrats already busying themselves as the go about the lining up any number of potential scapegoats. Everything from Barry’s low approval rating, to low turnout from Hispanic voters, overly centrist messaging; and the media, to name just a few. But I’m sure this is just the tip of the election iceberg. After all, like Barry, nothing is ever their fault.
Some Democrats have pointed at Barry’s low approval numbers as being a major headwind for Democrats to contend with as the midterms rapidly approach. Senate Democrat leaders predicted their poll numbers would improve after Congress recessed in September because voters would then be paying more attention to the candidates and less to Washington. So far, such has not really been the case.
And some liberal activists say Democrat candidates should be pushing bolder economic proposals, such as expanding Social Security benefits, instead of more modest ones such as raising the minimum wage. Charles Chamberlain, executive director of something called Democracy for America, said, "I would argue that we would be in a better place if candidates across the board were running on economic populist message."
And went on to say, "We can’t just run on being GOP light." And he added, "For example, in Kentucky, where we polled on expanding Social Security, if Alison Lundergan Grimes was running on expanding Social Security or on a more populist economic message I think she would be in a different place in the polling." GOP light? Is this guy serious? That has to be about the most absurd thing I’ve heard this entire election season!
But Chamberlain did say that he remains quite optimistic that the Democrats will, when all has been said and done, keep control of the Senate. And Don Fowler, a former chairman of the Democrat National Committee, apparently feels the same way as he has also expressed confidence that his party would keep control of the upper chamber, but said the party could improve its messaging on the economy.
Fowler cited the Labor Department’s report Friday that the economy added 248,000 jobs, cutting the unemployment rate to 5.9 percent. "We have to do a better job of selling that message," he said. I’m guessing what he really means here is that he feels that the Democrats must do a much better job of lying about these jobs numbers that everybody, and their brother, knows are completely bogus. They have been manipulated to point of being useless.
Barry in several instances this year has continued to point to what he has referred to as being the historical trend of low Democrat voter turnout in midterm elections as a major reason why this November’s election is likely to a tough one for Democrats. It was in May when he said, "Democrats have a congenital defect when it comes to our politics and that is we like voting during presidential years and during the midterms we don’t vote."
So I’m quite sure that there will be any number of excuses floated after the election if in fact the Democrats do lose control of the Senate. But demonstrating how it is that they live in denial I think the real reason behind their losses is the fact that they have shown themselves to be, and on more than one occasion, far more concerned with the amassing of political power much more so than with the needs of the American people.
And while there remains to be, and very obviously so, millions of folks to continue to buy into the whole Democrat Party victimization philosophy, there at least appears to be, and at least at this point in time, millions of folks who do not. And how long that may hold true is anyone’s guess, it may be completely different come 2016. But wouldn’t be nice if more people actually put the saving of our country above everything else?
