“Democrat Party” on The Daily Caller

For years we have heard the common refrain that “the people don’t get it,” or we’re “stupid,” or we “really don’t care.” Ignoring the Americans who serially vote Democrat because they have been bought off with welfare payments or some other benefit, I have always argued otherwise, and Reagan’s 1980 and 1984 landslide victories bore me out.

Scott Murphy, the incumbent Democrat who represents New York’s 20th Congressional District, has a slick campaign ad that hit the airwaves in September. The ad features four small business owners who support Murphy’s reelection to Congress because the congressman helped them resolve various business issues, from obtaining a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan to negotiating with the state gaming authorities.  It has all the makings of a convincing argument for a second term in office.  It’s a strategy that would work most election years, but this year it is a gamble. (more)

“Man plans and God laughs,” a former boss used to say all the time, quoting the Yiddish Proverb.  And Republican plans to send Democrat Majority Leader Harry Reid to retirement this year are now in jeopardy as national issues intervene in Nevada and may allow the 70-year-old senator to get re-elected with a pathetic 33 percent approval rating. (more)

Gerry Hudson, Executive Vice President of SEIU, offered the following analysis on how to move the black community from opposing to supporting comprehensive immigration reform. He said in effect that blacks must be convinced that the opposition is racist: (more)

In the aftermath of Scott Brown’s historic victory in Massachusetts, some observers were quick to ask a hard question: did pro-life organizations and individuals sell their souls in campaigning for Brown, a pro-choice Republican and supporter of Roe v. Wade? In other words, did political expediency trump ideological commitment for pro-lifers? (more)

It took some prodding from other Democrats, but Harold Ford has finally made a decision: He’s not running.
