Obama is finally in campaign mode .... it has been a long time coming, perhaps too long because now most democrats are in nap mode!
It is time that Democrats start running on their record! It was the democrats that passed healthcare reform. You know, the reform that gave us no lifeterm caps, no exclusion for pre-existing conditions, the ability to keep our children on our insurance until they are 26, and the rebate checks to our grandparents on medicare that helps them with the cost of meds. This is all thanks to democrats ...let's take credit for missions accomplished.
It is the Democrats that have stood the common man in an attempt to make a more civilized world. Democrats are being attacked as socialist because they support public poicy. The next time you need to call the police, or the ambulance, or the fire department ... thank a democrat! The next time you use your public library or the local hospital ... thank a democrat! When you winced at the cost of private education ... thank a democrat that you are able to enroll you child in a public facility.
When the Republican Tea Party practices exclusion ...no rights for women (no abortions under any circumstances), no rights for gays (can't marry and out of the military you march), no safety nets for the poor ( foodstamp cuts, medicaid cuts), it is the democrats that come in fight to provide relief where it is needed. Democrats fight for womens rights, all womens's groups stand firmly behind the democratic party. It is the democrats that fight for gay rights as well as all civil rights. It is the democrats that define gay rights as civi rights. It is the democrats fight for money for the poor. The democrats know that if we can not save the many in poverty, then there is no hope for the rest.
The Republican Tea Party of 2010 as stated firmly and with frequency, that even if a woman is raped or her life is at risk, abortion is never an option ...Sharron Angle has stated this many times, as have Sarah Palin, Christine O'Donnell, and Rand Paul.
The Republican Tea Party of 2010 stands against gay rights. They have campaigned actively against different props in different states, such as CA's Prop 8. They have broken their deals where gays in the military are concerned. It was the republican heiarcy that promised DADT would be a stop gap measure ... they would not go looking for gays. Based on the evidence of 100's of discharged gays, the military lied, they did go looking and they acted on such information.
The Republican Tea Party of 2010 is fighting hard for tax breaks for those that make over 1 million dollars a years. They are fighting just as hard to prevent tax cuts for middle America. Most senators and congressmen represent middle America. See the problem?
Democrats, real democrats need to stand up and say 'hell yeah' we did that and aren't you glad we did?
