Dems take a page from Obama’s deceitful campaign playbook


There they go again

Engaging in old-school deceive-and-distort politics, Obama and his surrogates have decided to demonize the Chamber of Commerce. Without any evidence, Obama calls the organization, which represents millions of American businesses, “a threat to our democracy.”

Obama and company are annoyed that the Chamber is now actively campaigning against the radical Obama/Dem agenda.

This latest front in Obama’s expanding, and losingpropaganda war against opponents is based on an unfounded assertion — already refuted by the New York Times, that the Chamber of Commerce might possibly be using foreign funds to pay for its political ads.

The New York Times reports, ”there is little evidence that what the chamber does in collecting overseas dues is improper or even unusual, according to both liberal and conservative election-law lawyers and campaign finance documents.”

Such specious charges are nothing new for Obama campaigns.

During the presidential campaign, candidate Obama engaged in “distortion,” “rank falsehood,” “seriously misleading’”statements and “outright lying” in trying to falsely paint Senator McCain as a war monger. Despite Obama’s charge being debunked by numerous fact checkers, Campaign Obama made the phony allegation timeafter timeafter time againover a three week period.

Don’t look for Obama’s midterm election campaign to back off Obama’s old-school deceive-and-distort politics anytime soon. So much for Obama’s promise of a “new kind of politics.”

Obama calling anyone a threat to Democracy is just to ironic to bear! nt

Almost as bad as seeing Jimmy Carter on a BBC talk show calling Bush/Cheney a "disaster for America"

When the record is untenable...

rbdwiggins (Diary) Monday, October 11th at 10:45PM EDT (link)

the agenda is widely unpopular, and the race-card has failed, resort to the politics of personal destruction.

Lies, deceit and personal attacks… They’ve got nothing else. Liberal policies have failed and the American people took notes.

The Obama enemies list continues to grow

He doesn’t like the Chamber of Commerce, the Boy Scouts, the Cambridge Police Department, Rush Limbaugh, Special Olympians, the United States Supreme Court, Republicans, people who have read the Constitution, the State of Israel, whoever it was who ratted out Andy Stern, any Christian church in Washington, DC, the Oath of Office of President of the United States, the study of American history, white voters in predominantly black Philadelphia precincts, and criticism.

,,,to hit back twice as hard. The gloves are off and Obama is gonna take it to his glass jaw.

“I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.” – James Madison

Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience.” — John Locke, 1690

 

An surprising and unbelievably harsh critique...

Coming from the Baltimore Sun echoes this post:

The Democratic National Commitee is using the same sort of tactic and logic that Sen. Joe McCarthy used in the 1950s: Level a headline-grabbing and unsubstantiated charge, like the State Department is filled with communists, and then say it is up to the State Department and the employees so charged to prove it is not true.

So much for hope and change; this is the politics of fear, slander and divisiveness on the eve of an election that looks as if it could deliver a damning verdict on the first two years of the Obama administration.

Don’t you just love it when two complete jerks (in this case, the One and his lickspittle media allies) who joined forces to screw you over, realize that they’re not going to win the next battle and end up in a race to see who can throw the other under the bus first? I watched this happen at work once, and it was as much fun to watch then as it is now.

Mmmm, popcorn…

Seems to me...

If I recall correctly, the CoC has been around since long before the Obamasiah’s Ordination Inauguration. Therefore it’s proven fact that democracy did just fine *with* the Chamber and *without* the One.

I’m pretty sure that in mathematical terms, this isn’t a reflexive proposition.

Obama was The One in 2008.
He’ll be a BIGGER one in 2012.

 

Desperation mode for Obama and the Left

Adjoran (Diary) Tuesday, October 12th at 1:08AM EDT (link)

Not one single Democratic congressional candidate is running on the legislative record. They are running away from Obama and professing their “independence” – a bit late for most of them, even those Pelosi “allowed” to vote against certain parts of the agenda because their votes weren’t needed for a majority aren’t fooling anyone.

All that is left is to throw all the crap they can think of and hope something sticks. Nice strategy!

Where are all those legacy media pundits telling us what a political genius Obama is now?

 

As Usual,

the Democrats HATE the creators of jobs .. the members of the Chamber of Commerce … ANYthing that resembles improvement for America. Besides, the Chamber doesn’t much chose to bribe Democrats. It’s all about “pay for play,” but the Dems won’t be able to deliver after January much as they will tuck anything they can into the lame duck.

 

The corruption

And hypocrisy in the Washington Elite crowd is so deep and wide it is going to take more than one election and a mountain of work to clear out!

 

The Democrat deceit has been especially bad in Illinois.

Brian Hibbert (Diary) Tuesday, October 12th at 8:44AM EDT (link)

My state representative district has become a tier 1 race for both parties. Mike Unes is looking like he’s going to defeat a long term incumbent in a heavily UAW district. His opponent Mike Smith has been a long term puppet of State House Leader Mike Maddigan (yes, too many Mikes).

The State Democrat Party has been sending mailers claiming that Unes accepted campaign contributions from “Health Insurance Companies and their political allies” and would therefor do the biddings of insurance companies to deny coverage. When I wrote an editorial denouncing the ads, the Democrats claiming it was “literally true” because an independent insurance agent gave $250 to Unes’s campaign. Another TV ad claims that he accepted contributions from “Companies that shipped jobs overseas” (employees of Caterpillar, the largest employer in the area) and included a “Thankyou” in Chinese. Their ads were total fabrications, but they get away with their lying slanders anyway because they’re Democrats.

P.S. I haven’t been active here much lately because of working on this and other local races. I hope to get back in the swing here after the elections.

The threat to our Republic is the "Democratic" Party

Marcus_Traianus (Diary) Tuesday, October 12th at 9:11AM EDT (link)

With historic majorities in Congress and hold of the Presidency Democrats tried to strike the coupe de grace to our Republic.

“Democrats” long-held, subversive beliefs which have been cloaked in deceptive language, obfuscated statements, attempted judicial oligarchy, societal manipulation and back-room political beguilement have been revealed for all to see.

It is a magnificent failure of corrupt, anti-democratic principals which has now been laid bare for all to see. Even the most simple, uninterested citizen can understand the Democrats intent was at best supercilious and dishonest. At worst, treasonous.

Democrats are about to pay for their corrupt treachery and all they can do is warn the “Barbarians” are at the gate? It is more correctly the people coming en-masse to take back THEIR government. It will be a massive crushing victory for those who still believe in our Constitution and the supreme will of the people who are the rightful owners of this Republic. Good riddance. In my entire life, I can’t remember this many people so enthusiastic about an election.

Perhaps after this election, we can put people back to work, place value on hard-work- not entitlement and loosen the obtrusive yoke of government that Democrats have fastened around our necks.

“Both of our political parties, at least the honest portion of them, agree conscientiously in the same object—the public good; but they differ essentially in what they deem the means of promoting that good. One side believes it best done by one composition of the governing powers; the other, by a different one. One fears most the ignorance of the people; the other, the selfishness of rulers independent of them. Which is right, time and experience will prove.”.Thomas Jefferson

All the more reason to be rid of the O…

Does the house *have* to wait to impeach him? Can’t they do it now? Make it a real October surprise?
