FRONT PAGE CONTRIBUTOR

Is YOUR Democratic politician going to the Democratic convention?

By: Moe Lane (Diary)  |  June 23rd, 2012 at 10:00 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

Because we’re getting quite a list going of Democrats who are too frightened of being associated with the President to want to go to an Obama-dominated convention (or, as Michelle Malkin rather elegantly put it, the upcoming “Tarheel trainwreck“). So far…

It occurs to me that anybody out there with both a video camera and a national-level Democrat worried about his/her reelection would be well served to intersect the two and ask said Democrat whether s/he is attending the convention in Charlotte. My decidedly amateur advice on this would be: be polite about it.  Be sweet, even – and if the politician in question tries to brazen it out with a clear and resounding yes, be sure to follow up with a quick “Does that mean that you stand with NC Chair David Parker, then?” Mostly because there isn’t a good answer to that question.

Anyway, remember: the point is just to have fun. And get video of Democratic politicians flopping about in response to fairly straightforward questions… wait, no, that still falls under the category of ‘having fun.’

    One to get close with the camera, another with a *second* camera (or camera-phone) back a bit to get the whole exchange.

    Dems, like rats, sometimes attack when cornered….

    Here is what I am talking about…this commercial turned Rick Boucher from 14 term incumbent to “retired” (much in the same way we need to “retire” Obama).

    Wait ’til Mitt and his corporate mining buddies get in power then we’ll blow them tops off those mountains makin’ lots of good clean coal jobs. Screw the environment it ain’t doing the working’ man any good right ? And we won’t have any of those pansy lawyers suing over black lung or anything. It’s gonna be great.

    Massey is not going to back Obama that is for sure.

    Let’s hope Jindal can give a better speech than last time he was on the national stage.

    I’ve heard Dan Boren is gunning for a college prez job at NSU, but he certainly doesn’t want to be onboard. Here’s hoping we turn this district red.

  • vamoose

    You won’t see the word “Democrat” on any campaign signs or literature for those Dems that skip the convention.

    to spend more time with his family and Lady-ista Clinton is, at great cost to her pubic and private life and the health of Bubba, is stepping into the vice presidential candidacy?

    And then everyone can take bets on how soon Air Force One will fly into a mountain killing all on board.

    They may not attend the convention, but they will still be voting for Komrade Obama and they will still be voting liberal in their respective legislative bodies. “Liberalism is a mental disease.”

    The last poor guy that hired me couldn’t make payroll after the first day.
    So being a good Liberal I tried a second day.
    Darn same result
    !After a year of trying this program it finally dawned on me that this program is not working out.
    Was it Einstein who postulated that doing the same thing over and over again hoping for a different outcome is the definition of insanity.

  • mrfixit10

    Does not always relate to Insanity.
    In the district I live in (North MS) it is sucide to attempt to run as anything but a Dumbocrat.
    I believe this election will be a turning point for many areas of the country.
    All voters are not Stupid, Just ignorant!

    The pilots are too good to allow this to happen unless they are Democrats with brains.
