Recently we have seen an upturn in the number of members of the democrats that have taken to the cleaners by not only the conservative media but from people in their own party. This includes the main stream media and the left wing ideologues on the talk shows that have also been proved wrong in front of their audiences. Lawrence O’Donnell, Chris Mathews and Ed Shultz from MSNBC again proved that there rhetoric is not fooling anyone including John Sununu former Governor of New Hampshire on the night of the NH Primaries. But I will have to say they did keep their cool when they continued to get horsewhipped on every subject they touched on.
But my all-time favorite person that has a history of bending the truth is none other than current DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Shultz. She has to be the epitome of what is wrong with the Democrat party on all levels. She has time and time again tried valiantly to convince those among us that the direction that this country is heading is correct and the only way to go. In her recent attempt to justify Romney’s “Loses” in Iowa and New Hampshire she used almost the same talking points. She said that “It was a bad night for Romney, A great night for Democrats” in Iowa and “He came out of this primary as a wounded candidate” in New Hampshire. Even Mitt Romney felt sorry for her. And it’s hard not to overlook that the incumbent president only got 86% of the vote in the democrat caucuses, and he ran unopposed.
She has continued to amaze us all as she continues to blame the Tea Party for the Tucson shootings and her continued support of the Occupy Wall Street movement which includes the stabbing of a police officer in NYC on January 2, 2012. She had this to say about the Tea Party shortly thereafter “You had town hall meetings that (the Tea Party) tried to take over, and you saw the same type of conduct at those town hall meetings. When they come in and disagree, you are not just wrong, you’re the enemy”. There have been millions of people that have attended Tea Party rallies all over the country and there have been no arrests, unlike the OWS encampments that have had seen arrests in the thousands.
At other times she has said that the republicans have declared “a war on woman”, and taking our voting laws “literally back to Jim Crow”. When asked by David Gregory of NBC after she claimed that President Obama was able to “turn the economy around” Gregory responded, "Whoa, whoa. Let me just stop you there. Clearly, the economy has not been turned around. You just saw those numbers. Americans don't believe that's the case." And again she blamed George Bush as everyone in their party still continues to do. These comments along with many others have to keep you wondering why she is allowed to open her mouth let alone not be shown the door.
All the while that she is traversing the country in support of this administration with her dime store rhetoric, she has left her constituents that have continually elected her since 2004 fending for themselves. It is hard to imagine that she would ever get elected in the first place, no less four times. It is at times like this that I am glad that she is not a republican. If she would have done for the republicans what she has done for the democrats we would be a third world country. Oh wait, this “IS” where we are headed.
