Not Running On Record

By Semperpapa

This is quite a funny scene we are witnessing as we move toward the November mid-term elections.

The Liberal rats are abandoning the Democrat ship faster than the Titanic.

Politico reports that Democrats are spending more than three times as much in advertisement against Obamacare that those who support it, clearly having received the message that the disastrous legislation is a real sore spot for the American people.
It appears very obvious that the toxicity of the record the White House has been racking up since getting into power is affecting just about every level of the political electoral cycle this year.
Of course, those Democrats who are today trashing the “accomplishments” of the current leadership will, if elected, get back in line or face the wrath of the Chicago thugs in office.

CNN reports that 31 Representatives have penned a letter to the leadership, Nancy Pelosi, calling for the maintenance of the Bush tax cuts for everyone, clearly breaking from the position the President has taken.
All those who have signed the letter are involved in very tough re-election campaigns in November.
The justification used in their letter is the feedback they received from economists, small business owners and American people in their constituencies.
The letter continues:

"We believe in times of economic recovery it makes good sense to maintain things as they are in the short term, to provide families and businesses the certainty required to plan and make sound budget decisions. Providing this certainty will give small businesses, the backbone of our economic recovery, confidence and stability,"

Not to mention that getting behind the President would be a quick road to unemployment.

It may, although, be a little more difficult for some of the other candidates who are vocally expressing their displeasure with the Washington establishment of corruption.
Case in point, Tennessee Democratic candidate to the House of Representatives, Brett Carter who sent a letter to Nancy Pelosi asking her to step down from her position as House Speaker.
Carter is describing Pelosi as a hindrance to the chances of Democrat candidates to win their election bids, calling her an albatross around his neck.
Mr. Carter sustains that the actions of the Speaker are a weapon that the Republicans can easily use in their quest for votes in November, and that with Nancy gone, that weapon would not be available.
I doubt Mr. Carter will receive much help from the DNC.

What is really amusing to me is the fact that with all the “accomplishments” achieved by Obama, Pelosi, Reid and the Democrat majority in Washington, very few of the Democratic candidates are running on the record of the Administration. Running away from Obamacare, tax increases, uncontrolled spending, as they feel the rejection of the American people and see their political career in real jeopardy.

Of course, if elected, they would rejoin the plantation, but sometimes it may be difficult when bridges are burned.

Just my thoughts!
