Well, Nancy, aka Madam Defarge, is determined not to "go gentle into that Good Night." She plans to seek the minority leader position which pleases Republicans no end and provides the chuckle for the day:
Ken Spain, Communications Director for the Republican National Committee quipped, "Given that there are now 60-plus defeated Democrat House members urgently seeking jobs due to Nancy Pelosi’s failed leadership, we welcome her decision to run for House Minority Leader based on her proven ability to create jobs for Republican lawmakers."
Seems the Madam Defarge metaphor is more appropriate than ever. Nancy not only attacked the weak and defenseless, but she brought about significant head-rolling in her own party and decimated the so-called blue dog Democrats. She no doubt isn't sorry to see them go. Democrats with even minimal pro-life convictions are unwelcome in the party of child-killing. And so the tale continues....
A liberal niece put this video up on her Facebook page to "inspire" people to vote against Republicans. The video is just creepy if you ask me.
In addition to all the misleading statements (which ascribe every bad thing that's happened in the country for 100 years to Republicans including Hurricane Katrina), it looks like they pulled in a group of union thugs to make it. As one thuggy looking guy after another came on to say why he's voting against Republicans, the hairs on the back of my neck started to prickle. Can't you see these guys outside a plant or on a dock with crowbars and metal pipes prepared to attack any "strike breakers" who dare to cross their picket line. Creepy!
Watch it. Do you have the same reaction?
And now, here's what I remember:
I remember that the Democratic party is the party of abortion-on-demand through all nine months of pregnancy. That many democrats can't even bring themselves to resist the gruesome partial birth abortion method where a baby is stabbed in the neck and his brains are sucked out.
I remember that Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, and other democratic leaders set the stage for the massive collapse in the housing market that was enabled by policies that forced banks to make bad affirmative action loans to people who couldn't afford to repay them.
I remember that it was Democrat Jimmy Carter who gave us long lines at the gas pump and established two new federal bureaucracies (Energy and Education) that increased federal interference in our lives.
I remember that it's Democrats who wanted to repeal the Bush tax cuts for everyone until the backlash made them retain the cuts (temporarily?) for those making less then $250,000.
I remember who has exploded the national debt after only two years in office adding more than $2.5 TRILLION! I can't even imagine that number!
I also remember that there are plenty of business-as-usual Republicans who should be dumped as well. Some of them lost primaries to real conservatives. Any RINO who loses tomorrow will get a shrug from me even if it does hinder taking over Congress.
Phyllis Schlafly has a good election guide for voters in the form of questions to ask candidates. She doesn't, unfortunately, include questions on abortion, although she has one on defunding Planned Parenthood. But my primary questions are about protecting the lives of the innocent.
Will you vote for legislation recognizing the personhood of the unborn no matter how that life begins: conception, cloning, IV fertilization, etc.?
Will you vote to regulate abortion facilities like other outpatient surgical clinics?
Will you vote for parental consent and notification laws to protect minor girls from predatory abortion practices?
Will you vote to require medical assistance to babies born alive after abortion?
Will you vote for laws making it illegal to take a minor out of state for an abortion?
I'm sure there are others, but this is a start to determine whether the candidate claiming to be pro-life really is. And, of course, he should also commit to defunding Planned Parenthood the biggest abortion provider in the world.
