Increased Rhetoric Indicates Fear...

Have you ever noticed the more desperate a political candidate or party becomes the more vitriolic the rhetoric becomes?  Take what’s going on with the government shutdown over the defunding of Obamacare, for instance. In the last two weeks the Republican House has sent continuing resolution bills to the Senate that funded everything in the government except for Obamacare.  The Senate, led by Harry Reid, has not only refused to negotiate anything to do with Obamacare and killed the bills but Harry himself is attacking the Republicans saying “They are out of their minds.”  And that’s the tame one.

Nancy Pelosi called the Republicans “legislative arsonists”.  That one was fairly tame as well.  Besides the usual claim of racism, next came “extortionists,” “anarchists,” then “terrorists,” then “terrorists who want to blow up your children,” and finally “suicide bombers.”  Because Republicans oppose Obamacare and want to either defund it or delay it until such time as it can be overhauled and made into something that can actually work – liberals are saying they want to strap on bombs and blow up you and your families.  It would be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic.

The President has gone on TV several times in the last week and said he simply will not negotiate anything that changes Obamacare and he will veto any bill that comes through with said changes.  He refused to meet with John Boehner following Tuesday’s government shutdown.  Then yesterday he was on TV again saying “I have bent over backward trying to negotiate with the Republicans.”  Wait…  huh?

Sadly (but predictably) his followers see and hear these statements and believe what he says.  I’m personally convinced Obama supporters live by the motto “Just believe whatever he said last and go with it.”  That includes the mainstream, state run media.

The President also said he has personally kept his rhetoric in control.  That’s probably because he’s allowing his liberal minions in the House and Senate, and his mouthpieces on mainstream media outlets to say the derogatory things for him.  It seems after nearly five years in office that he is finally learning as President he needs to refrain from the childish, vile rhetoric and try to remain dignified.  He hasn’t, however, said anything to his liberal associates about toning down their rhetoric.  It seems he only applies that to Republicans.

The bottom line is that Democrats are scared.  Their poll numbers are dropping.  President Obama has the lowest approval rating he’s ever had.  The majority of Americans want Obamacare repealed or defunded and some Republicans are trying to finally do the will of the people.  Democrats hate it when you try to do the will of the people.  They like to do only the will of the Democrats and their teat sucking supporters.

The rhetoric will continue with Republicans attempting to work out a deal and Democrats refusing to negotiate at all and still blaming the Republicans.  As Democrats’ poll numbers fall their statements will become more and more bold and more outrageous than ever.  Desperate times call for desperate measures – even if they are lies and falsehoods.
