Democrats desperate over record, fire at Tea Partiers for cover

Video at Youtube: In September, 2008, Rick Davis (Sen. John McCain’s campaign) and David Axelrod (President Barack Obama’s campaign) squared off about Obama’s connections to alleged leftwing domestic terrorist turned educator Bill Ayers. Legacy media ignored the connections; Fox host Chris Wallace was forced to stand by as Davis and Axelrod engaged. Axelrod of course denied Obama’s connections to Ayers despite the fact those connections were a matter of public record.[screen snip from video]Democrats have apparently completed the course that might be called Downgrade Politics 101, and they’re making the talk show rounds with a meme—blame Tea Partiers for the US credit downgrade. Seeking cover for their 6-year record of failure, Democrats like David Axelrod, a key actor in President Barack Obama’s election, called the credit rating drop the “Tea Party Downgrade.”

Sen. John Kerry did his course work—he used the same words on Sunday.

Legacy media, a pillar of socialist progressive policy, have been only too eager to accommodate the fabrications.

Obama came to Washington with his party in absolute control after the coup of 2006 giving Dems both houses of Congress.

The whole lot of them jumped on a tax and spend theology. First they upped the tax on cigarettes. Then they attempted to pass a carbon tax bill but the Senate balked. Some of the first headers after the debt fracas announced Democrats wanted tax hikes.

Never did frugality occur to any of these progressives marching the U.S. towards full socialism.

Instead of reforming government and eliminating waste and fraud, the Obama administration relied on government spending: dramatically increasing government employee numbers, passing the SERVE Act (or GIVE Act) estimated by the Congressional Budget Office at billions, passing the (unconstitutional) Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ObamaCare) with  no acceptable figures on what that will really cost, increasing funding for the United Nations on multiple occasions and setting up a new federal consumer office that duplicates state efforts and will not only hamper job creation but will add even more federal employees to the taxpayer tab.

Meanwhile Obama shut down the Gulf (in a “single day”) and has done everything possible to thwart a common sense energy policy for the U.S.

Just for good measure, the president entered the U.S. into a new war—in Libya, of all places.

Obviously the Democrats cannot run on a catastrophic record. So they seek cover by blaming Tea Partiers who simply want common sense economics applied in Washington just as most of us Americans apply them at home.

In addition to that, Democrats obstructed numerous Republican plans at every turn despite the fact Democrats offered no plan of their own other than Obama’s proposed budget which was shot down in the Senate without a single ‘yea’ vote.

The drop in the U.S. credit rating is the Democrat Downgrade. It’s understandable why socialist progressives would desperately seek cover—they don’t have even a sliver of success to run on.
