Dem Candidates Run Hard To The Right
Breitbart ^ | 12 Aug 2014 | Mike Flynn

Posted on 08/13/2014 7:03:36 AM PDT by Cheerio

Facing an increasingly hostile political landscape, Democrats are turning an old adage upside down; asking voters to believe what the candidates say, not what they do. In districts across the country, Democrats are campaigning on tax cuts, balanced budgets and rolling back harmful regulations. This pivot away from the national Democrat party isn't just on fiscal issues. With more conservative positions on guns, fracking and coal, for example, Democrat candidates, effectively, are practically carving out their own third party.

Last year, Texas state Sen. Wendy Davis filibustered her way into liberal, feminist rock-stardom with an 11-hour stand against legislation restricting some forms of late-term abortion. She leveraged the national spotlight into a run for Governor in the Lone Star State. That election will be decided by voters in places like Laredo, though, not San Francisco. On the campaign trail, Sen. Davis has claimed that she is pro-life and does, in fact, support restrictions on late-term abortions.

“...Run to the Right...”

Meaning they just want a little LESS communism than they normally do.

Meaning they will lie about anything to get in power and stay in power.

Well., no. I have seen some Dims in Red States up for re-election move a bit to the Right but that’s to be expected. Hard right? No.

In 2016 you’ll see some GOPe tilt a bit Left.

RATS internals must be causing aneurisms, all but that perennial 33% don’t want their lives ruined one smidgen more by them and their POSHITUS.

Haven’t seen many generic congress polls lately, news must be devastating.

I guess they can see that the whole world is exploding under the failed leadership of Obama and they now they are going to lose midterms. So they have all decided to lie to get votes

Communist democrats were for the Constitution before they were against it. Vote democrat, you are voting for communism, end of story. All politicians lie, just ask any one of them and they’ll tell you they don’t. Then there are the LIV who believe everything a democrat says.

This cycle should be full-blown warfare against the dem party as a whole. If you are a dem, you should be ostracized no matter what you say.

Someone should have the guts to say that if you vote for a democrat anywhere you are aiding in the destruction of the country.

Republicans are gutless.

I call it lying.

AND both the right and the left do it every election cycle. Examples that come to mind in the GOP-e are numerous but Alexander comes to mind last week and McLame from his Senate run in AZ in 2010.

NOTE HOWEVER THE POLS ALWAYS TILT TO THE RIGHT TO GET ELECTED - WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU ABOUT THE MAKEUP OF THE ELECTORATE?

Unprincipled bastards will say anything to stay in power. We need servants in Congress, not masters.

Former Dem Speaker, the late Tipp O’neill once said, “All politics is local.”
You cannot get any more ‘local’ than the devastation of our healthcare system that they have forced upon us.
People have no jobs and we see aliens pouring over the borders like Niagara Falls in summer.
People are fed up with the Federal government and all that the Dems did while they controlled the House, Senate and White House.
Electoral revenge is on every real voters’ mind, except for the average 38% that vote Dem no matter what.
They have no one else to blame. Can’t blame Bush any more after six years of this travesty. Can’t blame Republicans for they didn’t vote for Obamacare, not a single one.
Can’t blame hurricanes, earthquakes or floods any more...........................

Liars. They’re like Joe Manchin, Pryor and Chubby Landrieu, assuring voters that they are so conservative….and then each casting the deciding vote for Pelosi’s passage of ObamaCare.
