Is the Obama
Campaign Collapsing and Liberalism With It?
Don’t underestimate
liberals. They live for politics. It’s their religion. They will lie, cheat,
and steal to win an
election.
Prime evidence of their chicanery is the fact that the voting rolls
are bloated with illegal immigrants and dead voters.
“There are questions about
whether 182,000 registered voters are actually US citizens and the names of
more than 50,000 dead people were discovered on Florida’s voter rolls.”
Then
there is liberal opposition to voter ID laws. I wonder why? I know, so vote
early, vote dead or alive, and vote often can become reality.
Even so, there seems to be some cracks in the foundation of
liberal unity. Liberals rarely criticize other liberals. This is beginning to
change as the following examples show.
Black ministers are
speaking out against President Obama’s support of
homosexual marriage even though the NAACP has gotten behind the President on
the issue. Righteousness is beginning to trump political expediency. Maybe
these same Black ministers will come to realize that liberal economic policies
have failed as well.
The Catholic Church traditionally lean Democrat. The abortion and
contraception dustup is changing some minds. “Warning that ‘fundamental rights
hang in the balance,’ 43 Catholic dioceses and apostolates have filed lawsuits
arguing that the mandated coverage of contraception in health-care plans is
unconstitutional.” This is a good sign.
Newark, N.J., Mayor Cory Booker, a Democrat, called the private-equity
debate against Mitt Romney and Bain Capital “nauseating
to the American public.”
Booker’s comments came on the heels of those from Steven Rattner, who
headed the president’s auto task force and last week called “unfair” an Obama
campaign ad about a Kansas City, Mo., steel mill that was taken over by Bain in
1993.
“I don’t think Bain Capital did anything they need to be embarrassed
about,” Rattner said May 14 on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program.
“It did it superbly well, acting within the rules, acting very responsibly, and
was a leading firm.”
Don’t think these Democrats all of a sudden got some scruples. They know
that campaign donations come from people with money, and that includes equity
firms. Democrats are seeing their campaign coffers a little light these days.
Naturally, Booker was taken to the Democrat woodshed for his comments.
He strayed from the liberal plantation a bit too far.
Entertainers are starting to turn on President Obama. Penn Jillette, of
the magic team Penn and Teller, has taken on the President for his class
warfare rhetoric, hypocritical drug policy, and states’ rights cop-out.
Comedian and actor Jon Lovitz (the cigar-chomping scout in A
League of their Own and SNL alumnus) got the ball
rolling with his rhetorical attack on the president by describing him as “a
***** ***hole’ for ‘saying the rich don’t pay their taxes.’”
He also “took issue with Obama’s recent fundraiser with George Clooney
that raised $15 million for his campaign.” He called the move “hypocritical”
since the President has spoken out against rich Americans for not paying their
“fair share of taxes.”J
While the Jewish Lovitz has been attacked as a “Nazi” for his anti-Obama
comments, “he has been offered book, TV and movie deals in the wake of his
comments because ‘what I said was right.’” Time will tell if he is forced to
apologize under threat of never working in Hollywood again.
Don’t get me wrong. A few dissident Democrats attacking their party does
not make a funeral. I don’t want to be like James Carville who wrote 40
More Years: How Democrats Will Rule the Next Generation in 2009 and
had to eat crow in November of 2010.
We still have to contend with a squishy
Republican Party that does not know how to fight and never met a compromise it
didn’t like. Even so, the loss of Mr. Compromise himself, former Sen. Richard
Lugar, gives me some hope.
