Why the Democrats Lost
The Republicans claimed that the election was a rejection of the president’s policies. The election was not a rejection of his policies because the American people agreed with many of the things which the president advocated: immigration reform, Healthcare, Jobs and etc. The American people chose to punish the Democrats and the president because some media outlets and the Republican Party convinced the American people that the inability to get anything done was based on presidential leadership. There is an old proverb: tell a lie long enough, people will begin to believe it. The Republican Party saturated the air ways with falsehoods, personal attack adds and scare tactics. They claim that the president was not during enough to fight terrorism and the Ebola Crisis and a host of other local and national crisis. In spite of all this, Democrats chose to run away from the president rather than to defend policies that brought the country out of recession, paid down the national debt, save the auto industry and killed Bin Laden.
The 2012 Presidential Race
“The president’s remarks came a day after new report showed broad-based improvement in the U.S. economy, with the gross domestic product expanding at a 3.5% annual rate during the third quarter. During the last two quarters, the economy grew at a 4.1% percent pace – the fastest six-month period of growth in more than a decade, a White House official said.”
The price of gas is now under $3.00 a gallon and we learned today that unemployment is now 5.8%. The Stock Market has grown more than 121%. History has proven that when politicians run away from policies being advocated by a president, they end up losing. Al Gore tried to run away from Clinton and he lost. Allison Grimes in Kentucky refuse to admit she voted for the president and she lost. When will the Democrats learn, well, we need to leave that question up to history?
