Why Are the Senate Races Close?

For six years the Democratic majority in the Senate has formed a solid bloc behind a president who betrayed every American soldier who died in Iraq by deliberately losing the war and failing to secure the peace. Obama’s anti-military, anti-American zeal has brought this country to its knees internationally. His cowardice when it comes to the use of force has created a terrorist threat greater than any America has faced since the height of the Cold War. With no dissent from the Democratic majority in the Senate.

The Senate Democrats have supported Obama’s anti-Constitutional efforts to crush their opposition through voter fraud and the political corruption of the IRS. They have embraced his open borders mania, which has introduced tens of thousands of criminal illegals into the American heartland, along with exotic viruses and unknown numbers of terrorists who come here with the intent to kill.

The Senate Democrats have supported Obama’s socialist schemes depriving Americans of the right to choose their health care, destroying millions of jobs, leaving 90 million idle, and 47 million on food stamps. They have turned a blind eye when his unconstitutional executive orders restored a malicious welfare system that condemns millions of disadvantaged Americans to lives of permanent poverty and denied them a shot at the American dream.

Senate Democrats have embraced the lynch mob in Ferguson and used this deplorable episode in their campaigns as a symbol of Republican racism instead. This is a classic case of projection since Democrats are the party of racial categories and racial malice. The nation’s most notorious lynch mob leader and premier racist, Al Sharpton, is the president’s special adviser on race. Thanks to Obama’s policies and the support of Senate Democrats the nation is more racially divided than it has been since the passage of the Civil Rights Acts in 1964 and 1965.

So why are the Senate races close? They are close because Republicans are paralyzed by a political cowardice that makes them reluctant to fight fire with fire. From election to election they are afraid to hold Democrats morally accountable for what they actually stand for and have done. Where is the Republican calling out the Democrats for their support for racists like Sharpton and the lynch mob demanding blood in the case of officer Darren Wilson? Where is the Republican decrying the betrayal of the brave Americans who died to keep Iraq free? Where is the Republican standing up for the millions of poor black and Hispanic children who languish in public schools that don’t teach them and whose lives are being crushed by Democratic “welfare” systems? Where is the Republican Party’s campaign against the Democrats’ totalitarian attempts to destroy the two-party system and empower criminals? Why is their political language so tepid when it comes to the outrages that Democrats daily commit?

Yes there are individual Republicans who take on these issues and the Republican Party has occasionally done so as well. But consider the tone of their arguments as compared to the Democrats’ moral indictments of Republicans as racists, and woman haters, and enemies of the poor. Where is the Republican language to match these indictments and neutralize these attacks?

The Democrats have launched a war against individual freedom and the American constitutional arrangement that defends it. That is the meaning of their attacks on the Second Amendment, their attempts to impose speech codes on a once free nation, and their determination to make voter fraud a normal corruption of the political process. Where is the Republican battle cry in defense of individual freedom? Republican opposition to the atrocity called “Obamacare” is framed in the language of accountants. Yes Obamacare will raise health care costs for those who can pay. But like all socialist programs the foundation of Obamacare is theft. Take the earnings of those who have worked and use it to subsidize the costs of those who don’t. This is an assault on individual freedom. But where is the Republican battle cry identifying it as such?

Fostering terrorist concentrations of power, opening America’s borders to criminals, failing to quarantine Ebola carriers, unleashing the IRS to crush their political opposition, supporting a lynch mob seeking to coerce the judicial process, violating the Constitution and stripping the representatives of the people of their authority and power – all these have a common core. They are a war against individual freedom. Why is this not the Republican campaign theme?

The Republican Party is the party of small business (the political billionaires are clustered among the Democrats). But politics cannot be viewed as a business. Democrats are missionaries seeking to change the world. Like all such missionaries from Lenin to ISIS, individual freedom presents a threat to their world transforming goal. They know what’s good for you, and they are determined to prevent you from resisting it. This is what the political battle is about and unless Republicans embrace the missionary attitude, and make freedom their rallying cry, it is not just elections they are jeopardizing but the future of our country as well.

    We need another party! I wish the libertarians were not so radical in many ways. Everyone is a libertarian at heart, and a constitutional conservative. We have to go after the educational system etc… David is the US Churchill, as well as many others in the public arena – the politicians are only worried about re-election and getting cash from people they pass special laws for. Will it ever end?

    When you don’t vote, you’re
    allowing your children and grandchildren to be endangered by the enterovirus.
    When you don’t vote, you’re gambling with your family’s health from Ebola. When
    you don’t vote, your children have far less opportunities to find a job because
    people who don’t live here get first preference. When you don’t vote, you’re
    allowing the “knock-out” game to become our national pastime. When you don’t
    vote, you’re allowing the government to tell your priests and ministers what
    they can and cannot preach about on Sundays. When you don’t vote, you’re
    letting racists steal elections through vote fraud. When you don’t vote, you’re
    saying yes to Nazi-style intimidation as election polls (complete with billy
    clubs). When you don’t vote, the cops become criminals and all the sinners
    saints. When you don’t vote, you’re letting a dictator steal bread from your
    baby’s mouth, the future from your family, and your inheritance from the next
    generation. When you don’t vote, you’re allowing people who hate America to
    chain our futures to the back of pickup truck and drag us through the streets.
    When you don’t vote, another journol….. uh, GRANDMOTHER is beheaded by religious fanatics. When you don’t vote, the terrorists win.

    Republicans aren’t a real party. Their job is to make sure there is no viable alternative to the big gov’t totalitarian party.

    We did everything we could to work with the GOP in Georgia. They don’t want to win. Perdue heaped disturbing contempt on the grassroots and bobbed around trailing a nepotism parade that turned off everyone, everywhere.

    Yes I’m voting for him.

    But between the libertarians — whom I’ve concluded lack the discernment to understand that they are leftist collectivists based on their platform, which they also barely seem to comprehend — and the GOP’s deeply sleazy tactics on Common Core and immigration, a race in Georgia that should have been a landslide may now disrupt the entire Senate.

    We’re disgusted. We’re all disgusted here. At the end of the day, it’s immigration. The GOP would rather see us in penury than grow a spine and even tell the truth about their position. The libertarians are literally deranged regarding open borders. Their grassroots believe that they can have open borders and no welfare state while the Koch brothers, AFP, ALEC, CATO, Reason, and Freedomworks manipulate to push their vision of borderless America — receiving frank genuflections from many conservative commentators too cowardly — or fiscally indebted to them — to connect those dots in print.

    So if we lose, remember this: there could have been a citizen movement that worked. But the national libertarian groups destroyed it to feather their open-borders nest. And they did so while quietly spending just as much money keeping their own influence over GOP candidates — which is a story that ought to be told.

    Ugly. Sad. But it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone.

    Why the Republican Party failed this nation in the last 6 years will be analyzed and debated for decades, if not longer. Whatever the explanation is it will not be revealed for a long time because the “insiders” that know will not become whistle blowers. They have too much to lose.
