LEFT WING LOONS Title: leftists channel Ronald Reagan ... before an election --- then rule like Chavez. Dem Candidates Run Hard to the Right by Mike Flynn 12 Aug 2014 Facing an increasingly hostile political landscape, Democrats are turning an old adage upside down; asking voters to believe what the candidates say, not what they do. In districts across the country, Democrats are campaigning on tax cuts, balanced budgets and rolling back harmful regulations. This pivot away from the national Democrat party isn't just on fiscal issues. With more conservative positions on guns, fracking and coal, for example, Democrat candidates, effectively, are practically carving out their own third party. Last year, Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis filibustered her way into liberal, feminist rock-stardom with an 11-hour stand against legislation restricting some forms of late-term abortion. She leveraged the national spotlight into a run for Governor in the Lone Star State. That election will be decided by voters in places like Laredo, though, not San Francisco. On the campaign trail, Sen. Davis has claimed that she is pro-life and does, in fact, support restrictions on late-term abortions. In West Virginia, Democrat Senate candidate Natalie Tennant is struggling to separate herself from the Obama Administration and its severe regulations on coal mining, an important economic sector in the state. In a bizarre campaign ad, she "cuts power" to the White House. Four years ago, Sen. Joe Manchin aired an ad of himself shooting a bullet through the Obama's "cap and trade" bill. Fortunately, Tennant and Manchin are both Democrats, so no one will view the stunts as threats to the President. Kentucky Democrat Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes touts her NRA membership on the campaign trail, while Georgia Democrat Senate candidate Michelle Nunn hedges on the issue, but stresses her belief in the Second Amendment and loudly proclaims her family's hunting heritage. In Arizona, embattled Democrat Rep. Ron Barber's first campaign ad brags about "bucking party leadership" and calls for increased border security. In Colorado, Democrat officials blocked a series of ballot initiatives, championed by leftist Rep. Jared Pollis, that would restrict oil and gas exploration in the state. While popular with left-wing environmentalists and billionaire Democrat donors like Tom Steyer, Democrats rightfully worried that the restrictions would be unpopular with voters in November. The list of Democrats carving out more conservative positions on a host of issues goes on and on. In fact, it would be noteworthy to find any Democrat in a competitive election running on the platform espoused by national leaders. It begs the question, what is the point of the national Democrat party if individual candidates have to separate themselves from it when facing actual voters. Is it even a coherent party, or just a collection of expedient alliances of interest groups? post a comment 183 donzap > Therealpatriot2013jrd • 6 hours ago These leftists always channel Ronald Reagan before an election and then rule like Chavez. They lie and campaign like conservatives for a reason.
