Off Year Elections are due In the United States in just a matter of hours. All across the Country voters will be going out to elect Governors, Senators. Congressional Representatives and everything all the way down to Dog-catcher. Okay maybe not dog-catcher, but some of the Candidates running are not fit to be Dog catchers really.
It is the habit of Politicians to canvass for votes wherever they can find them.
Democrats are really tame when it comes to the ground game of Republicans.
Frankly the fact that there is a competitive Republican Party is testament to the Racist , Xenophobia of Americans.
The Republican Party has literally blocked progress over the last 6 years solely on the basis that they do not want President Barack Obama to have any achievement to his credit.
For those of you who say, “who me I’m not racist I have a black friend” , that is called Racism. Putting hatred and Party over Country borders on treason. Yet the entire Republican Party signed on to sabotage Obama’s Presidency. From all indications they will be rewarded with more seats in the House of Representatives and some believe even taking control of the United States Senate.
I was always a little mystified at the concept of a President of One Party the Senate of that Party and the House from the other party. Why vote for a President if he is not allowed to enact his agenda? Oh well it’s the concept of Divided Government, I get it.…not really !!!
Nan Hayworth, the Republican seeking to unseat Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney a Gay Democrat in New York’s 18th Congressional District launched an Ad featuring her son who claims to be Gay . Hayworth’s son tells potential voters in the Ad his Mom Nan is no extremist. Never mind that Maloney is running Ads with Hayworth claiming in her own words that she a is proud Radical.
Issues aside, being Gay is the cool thing to be these days it seem. People are falling over themselves to let everyone know they are Homosexuals. I wondered to myself whether this campaign was about who could be the more deviant.
Sunday Morning November 2nd Nan Hayworth turned up at the largely Black Beulah Baptist Church to beg for votes. As is customary our Pastor in his generous Wisdom, gives those running for office the opportunity to tell voters what they are for, irrespective of Party.
Hayworth addressed the Congregation for just over seven minutes, not once during the address did she mention the word Republican. Not once did she mention that she is a Radical Tea Party Republican who fought the Obama Agenda tooth and nail. Hayworth mentioned Obama once and it was merely as a passing reference. The thing which really bothered me about Hayworth though was that she thought it was perfectly okay to show up on a Sunday Morning to a black Church and talk about Food-stamps and Medicaid.
Obviously to Nan, black people are only concerned about receiving food-stamp benefits and other goodies from Government. But of course you may listen to her 7 minutes address and judge for yourself. At the end of her address Congregants gave Tea party darling Nan a courteous round of applause. I am a little uncertain whether they felt disrespected that she would see fit to address them on Food-stamps and other Government benefits.
Hayworth never bothered to mention that while in Congress she voted to..
(1 Repeal Obama-Care reporting requirements for small business. (Jan 2011)
(2 Voted YES on terminating the Home Affordable mortgage Program. (Mar 2011)
(3 No EPA regulation of greenhouse gases. (Jan 2011)
(4 Voted YES on barring EPA from regulating greenhouse gases. (Apr 2011)
After the address I muttered to my son that Hayworth was very slick in not mentioning that she was a member of the Republican Party and a Tea Party member.
One lady asked me what was Tea Party
All across America Politicians will be getting elected on lies distortions and guile, simply because too many of us refuse to apprise ourselves of the issues.
