Desperate Democrats Make Wild Claims About Why They're Losing
From national Democrat party committees to the president himself, the liberals in the U.S. are creating wild claims that their opposition from the GOP is becoming funded by "secret foreign funds." The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has been implicated... and the movers and shakers within the party even admit there is totally no proof of these accusations. One prominent Democrat, when asked on a national news program what proof his party had that foreign revenue was controlling the upcoming elections, could only retort by asking the reporter "Effectively, do you have any proof it isn't true?"
Wow.
First, this is ridiculous dirty-politics-as-usual, brought to you by the party that promised two years ago to end such partisan nonsense. A lot of silly stuff gets blasted onto the airwaves throughout election years (particularly throughout what I call "The Stupid Season"), but this crosses a new line. The Democrat party has quite possibly even left itself vulnerable to lawsuits by those it has accused without having proof.
Second, is there any such factor as "foreign income" anymore? Positive, it is illegal for foreign interests to participate in the U.S. electoral process, but it's simplistic to describe "shadowy back-room offers financed by foreign revenue." Considering that the 1960s, when the worst thing that could occur would be a thermonuclear war (this was in all the movies of the time... check it out), the world's richest countries have come together to tightly link all the world's economies together such that if any main economy goes down, so do they all. This is recognized as the doctrine of "Mutually-Assured Economic Destruction," developed to replace the old "Mutually-Assured Destruction" doctrine of the cold war. Now we don't have to fight wars that kill consumers (existing wars notwithstanding)... we can fight every other with dollars. But the MAED policy assures no foreign country (even such as China, whose currency was featured in the fallacious ad in question) serves its own top interest by trying to tear down our economy. China depends on us, at least as a great deal as we depend upon China. (The arrangement does develop a global conspiracy against wealth, though, so it is still smart in these times to get as a lot education on the topic as you can, and to believe about mitigating strategies such as saving dollars, lowering debt, and starting a enterprise on the side.)
Finally... why in the World would the Democrats complain about foreign cash? Their political moves have lengthy been aided by wealthy foreigners from George Soros to the Clintons' Chinese backers. But a great deal more importantly, wasn't the election of Barack Obama supposed to restore America's worldwide reputation from the horrible erosion it suffered under (gasp!) George W. Bush? Thanks to Obama, isn't the rest of the globe supposed to adore us now?
Wouldn't they HOPE that foreigners would want to toss us all the spare Alter they can?
Only two extra weeks left in Stupid Season. After November two, if the polls are correct, we'll begin obtaining smart once more... and not a minute too soon.
