“If 64% of folks polled think things are out of control right now, then why would anyone vote for a Democratic candidate?” Bill O’Reilly
As is the case with most every Republican argument, this too is based upon a false first premise that because the president is a Democrat, Democrats are responsible for things being “out of control.” The president controls neither the money or the law, Republicans do via the Supreme Court and the House of Representatives. The president has only talk, war powers, executive orders he has used less than any other president, and his rarely used veto he has used less than other presidents. So to play O’Reilly’s game why would anyone vote for a Republican?
Like President Jimmy Carter before him, President Obama is correct on most every policy issue, the problem is the both suffer that lofty “do the right thing” attitude. Good people see it as cold elitist intellectualism while Republicans despise both of them because “doing the right thing” is something they themselves have never done or even contemplated doing.
The President’s polls are down because about 30% of Americans hate his guts because he is Black and smarter than they are. Another 20% don’t like any Democrat, while the other 20% don’t like him because he has failed to stand up and fight for many liberal causes they hold dear.
“Democrats have been very successful in convincing some voters that the Republican Party favors the rich and is anti-woman.” Bill O’Reilly
That success comes because the Republican Party favors the rich and is anti-woman. The first thing there is what they are proudly and loudly all about, while the second can’t be helped as it comes with sucking up to religious intolerance which gives them their political edge here in Jesusland.
“Democrats vote on emotion.” Bill O’Reilly
That is true. Unlike Republicans, Democrats vote not just for their back pockets and a callous disregard for others, but for the emotional morality of giving the least of us a hand rather than the finger.
