How does one hold on to a seat in the House or Senate when their party is out of ideas and rarely if ever delivers on the planks of its so-called platform? Furthermore, how do individuals like Michele Bachmann, Virginia Foxx, and Steve King hold onto their seats when each childish proclamation is more embarrassing than the last?
The answer is simple; Republicans, particularly those in the House of Representatives, run in their districts as mercenaries or hired guns to go to Washington to oppose the Liberal onslaught. Their supporters don’t seem to care about policy as long as it’s the status quo and their needs are being met. Republican politicians have become very skillful, as if they have learned from a training manual, in the art of stoking fear and suspicion. Not long ago, in many districts across the nation, it was sufficient to invoke the issues of God, guns, and gays. Their message is that Liberals (often called Progressives) want to do away with God, take your guns, and allow gays to recruit your children in to their "lifestyle." Of course, now that Democrats control the White House, the Senate, and the House, the threat is greater than at anytime in recent history.
But there is a new menace lurking in the shadows. A president that has dark skin, was supposedly not born in the USA, is a closet Muslim, an acolyte of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, and Mussolini, and could possibly be the antichrist. This, in itself, should be enough to scare the bejeebers out of any low-information, God-fearing, straight, white, Conservative, America-First patriot and have them lining up at the voting booth.
So when we scratch our heads and wonder how these clowns keep getting elected despite their lack of vision, their lack of solutions to the problems of ordinary people, their corruption, and their sheer incompetence, we may be overlooking the possibility that their supporters don’t care about vision, solutions, corruption, or competence. They see their elected GOoPers as a bulwark against the tide of moral decay seemingly brought on by Liberals including Hollywood, the ACLU, labor unions, gays, filthy hippies, and atheists (did I forget anyone?).
I can’t help but wonder what the millions of people, opposed to health care reform, are thinking, right now, about their elected GOoPer Representatives. Representatives that promised them that they would lay their bodies down on railroad tracks to stop the forward motion of a Socialist takeover of health care, the euthanization of the elderly, the un-Godly removal of the unborn from their mother’s wombs, and the enslavement of hundreds of millions of unwitting citizens by a totalitarian tyrant.
Their high-priced mercenaries have failed them, big time, as they have so many times before. But guess what, Michele Bachmann, Virginia Foxx, and Steve King will all be easily re-elected this November because the boogeyman of the Left has become emboldened and is growing stronger, and must be annihilated.
