 Think about it: They all voted for the Affordable Care Act, better known as
Obamacare. In fact they were the only ones who voted for it. The bill was
passed with only democrat votes; Obamacare was made law only by democrats
since no republican voted for it. Of course over the last two or three years
during the roll-out of the Obamacare insurance there has been very little
other than problems. Millions of people lost their insurance, premiums
skyrocketed for most people, physicians have left their practices, employers
have taken advantage of the shortened work week offering only part-time work
to people who had full-time jobs just to avoid the staggering cost increase,
business owners have had to provide insurance coverage at their cost for
procedures and coverage that places them in conflict with their moral values
and people lost their doctors in whom they trusted for many years. So the
democrats running for re-election cannot run on that healthcare issue.
Perhaps they can run on the economy. Whoops, no, not that either. We have
essentially been in a recession since the President took office back when
these senators came into power themselves. Their terms have patterned his
term in office essentially and the people in their districts have suffered
because the economy has suffered too. People have lost jobs; at least 92
million people across the country are out of work. Then there are those who
have to work two or more part-time jobs just to make ends meet. Everything
costs more now than when they were first elected; gasoline, food, energy,
basic essentials. There is a shortage of discretionary income for the frills
of life like entertainment, vacations, holidays, trips to the beach or
picnics, or just plain shopping for some recreational items. For many
families in America the paycheck has to be pulled mighty thin to make ends
meet; in fact, there is even a rising debt as families struggle to put food
on the table, gas in the car and clothing for their kids. Inflation is
rising, taxes are astronomical, and the middle class is diminishing before
our very eyes. Poverty is increasing while kids across America are going to
bed hungry in greater numbers every night. Families are relying on the
thrift stores for clothing, the food pantries for their food and special
assistance from charitable groups to supplement the bill-payment rough
spots. Nope, those democrats cannot run on the economy.
Okay then, what about keeping Americans safe. Well, there is the porous
border around the United States that is allowing tens of thousands of
illegal immigrants to enter the country. Almost four billion dollars has
been requested by the President to take care of the unaccompanied children
who have entered after having traveled through the entirety of Mexico. No
money for the poor in America, but seemingly plenty for those who come
illegally. Drug cartels are playing havoc in Texas, Arizona and New Mexico,
as well as California; brining in illegal guns and drugs while endangering
the citizens of those states. Safety is an issue that has left Americans
scratching their heads wondering “what’s going on” with the invasion on the
borders. What is the reason a country like America cannot enforce the laws
on the books in order to protect the American citizens who already live in
the country? No, the democrats likely cannot run on their record of keeping
their citizens safe.

 For sure the democrats can run on their record of foreign policy,
right? Well, look around at the world. What happened to the “red
line” that was drawn several times in Syria before tens of thousands
were killed in that country? The President, with the backing of his
democrats, drew the line several times and then backed down; this
sent a signal to the rest of the world that America was becoming
weak. Think too about the President projecting around the world that
he was going to withdraw all the American troops from Iraq and leave
the country, a fledgling, immature democracy to fend for itself. A
vacuum was created from his decision and look what happened. From
the Syrian fighting the ISIS fighters with Taliban insurgents
swooped down into the Iraqi cities right up to Bagdad and created a
terrorist state of their own. Leading from behind, the
Administration has weakened the strength of the nation and helped
create a more dangerous world than has been known since the fall of
communism. No matter where an American looks in the world today the
influence of America has been weakened by the “lead from behind”
policies of the democrat Administration. No, foreign policy will not
be spoken of too loudly during the election cycle by the democrats
hoping to be re-elected.
So, what will the democrats be running on you ask? The only thing
they can do is create diversion and distractible issues to feed to
the liberal media to chew on to keep the American voter occupied so
as not to think about these other major issues. We will see the
democrat politicians talking about such things as the republicans
waging a “war on women.” We will see them talking about women having
their rights taken away by not having their “contraceptives” paid
for by the taxpayer; only it will be in terms of “denying healthcare
to women.” They will searching for little “mole hills” to make
mountains of just to keep the voter off-balance from talking about
the economy, the destruction of the military, the issues with
healthcare, the lack of healthcare from the Veterans Administration
Hospital System, the issues about the corruption in the IRS, NSA,
CIA, FBI and other agencies of the democrat controlled forces that
are being forced to weaken the American Dream.
The voter should be warned right now that in the next 120 days the
media will try to cover up the major issues on which the democrats
should be discussing by replacing them with minutia subjects to spin
away the time between now and the election so the voting public will
be uninformed when they enter the voting booth so they will vote for
status quo. Please do not be sucked into their ploy; we deserve
better.
