Allow me to borrow the above-noted title from political writer Charles Kimball when he predicted the death of the Democratic Party back in 2006. Mr. Kimball’s prediction was just a bit premature. We are watching in slow motion the demise of the Democratic Party in America. Ex- Speaker Nancy Pelosi promised to drain the swamp when she assumed power in 2007. It never happened…
What we are witnessing today as 2011 turns the page, is a slow, agonizing death of the once proud party of the people. In decades past, the Democratic Party was the party of the working man. It was the party that fought to even the playing field with unscrupulous and an all-too greedy American industry. Over time, real progress was made and working folks were paid a decent wage and afforded a lifestyle that many today would envy. I was fortunate enough to grow up in the America of the 1950s and 1960s that molded me into what I am today. In 1968, I was proud to cast my first ballot for Hubert Horatio Humphrey. Things have changed a bit these past 45 years.
Today the Party of the working man has become the Party of the non-working class. The Democrats have devolved to become the Party of moochers, leeches, and victims. And this Party of hope and change has morphed into a Frankenstein that would turn FDR in his grave. The Democratic Party is an abomination that is slowly strangling the greatest country in the world: The United States of America.
2012 will be the election for America’s future. Does the United States go the route of the moocher, leech, and faux victim or does it awaken and cast off its chains of bloated, inefficient government and re-take its rightful place as the World magnet for those seeking liberty and freedom from oppressive, authoritarian, and totalitarian dictatorships?
Which direction will we go next year?
Democrats don’t have a lot of faith in the everyday humble guy. Democrats think they know what’s best for us and are continually sticking their bureaucratic noses into our everyday business. That’s why the Party of the Donkey is slowly succumbing to an ugly demise. I can’t say I will miss the Democratic Party after it passes away, next year.
Indeed, we are a divided country. There are those like me who believe passionately, “ I know what’s best for my family and me.” I loathe this over-government bureaucracy which, as it swells larger and larger, becomes less and less efficient. Is there anyone in the room who thinks the Federal government can or will handle the health care needs of this country of 307 million, without adding a single new medical doctor? Of course not. The party cannot even dole out a $529 million dollar loan to a fraudulent “green” company, without losing track of YOUR precious taxpayers’ funds. The Democratic Party has been hijacked by the grifters, con men, and hustlers who should be behind bars rather than behind the Justice Department, the EPA, the National Labor Relations Board, or countless other useless, worthless agencies which serve no purpose and have long overstayed their usefulness.
Leading this pack of these charlatans is its leader, Barack Hussein Obama aka Barry Soetero. If Obama is not the killer of American greatness, he is most certainly its weapon of choice.
As the Democratic Party pinwheels itself into irrelevancy, I can only urge you with every molecule of my being to spend your precious vote on any candidate with no D in back of his name. Barney Frank saw the writing on the wall and he departed the scene before he had to face the music. Let’s complete the job and remove these ideologues who pander to the very worst of America; It’s time to say Sayonara to Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Adios to Luis Gutierrez , Auf Wiedersehen to Steve Israel, Ciao to Charles Rangel, Arrivederci to Steny Hoyer, and Au Revoir to Henry Waxman. These are just some of the minions of misery who display blatant contempt for anyone who dares to address and challenge their authority. I wonder if the voters of San Francisco will finally say, enough is enough and get rid of Pelosi for good. I wonder if that could happen in the City by the Bay. I see the swamp Pelosi promised to drain, painfully and slowly seeping its contents. I ask, is there anyone in the house with a plunger? Take this monstrosity of a Democratic Party and put it out of its misery. Please! Consider it an act of mercy.
Take back America 2012.
