Don’t Be Fooled By “D” Lies

One of the congressional races that Democrats managed to win recently was John Murtha’s seat in the 12th congressional district of Pennsylvania. Murtha, who died recently, slandered US troops for the Haditha “massacre.” All except one were eventually acquitted. The last case is still pending. Republicans had hoped to pick up this seat that is probably one of the most expensive considering how much pork Murtha brought into his district.

What’s interesting and a potential warning to conservative and tea party candidates is how the Democrat Mark Critz won. First, he definitely didn’t run on Obama’s agenda. He was pro 2nd amendment, pro-life, against Obama’s “Stick It to Us Stimulus Not” plan, and most importantly he’s against ObamaCare. Whoa, this guy is more of a Republican than many Republicans.

The question is, “Does Critz really believe in those positions?” Given the fact that this guy was a long time aide to Military Massacre Murtha could indicate that answer is no. Of course, it could be argued that he really needed a job and only worked for that Princess Pelosi supporting congressman under duress.

Still, how Critz got elected was based on a flat out lie just like a local politician here in Virginia, and that indicates that everything else Critz has said is probably also positions taken “just to get elected.” Tim Burns, Critz’s opponent, supported the Fair Tax, which is a total overhaul of the federal tax system.

Instead of punishing income as all pro-regressives desire, it instead eliminates the federal income tax, which then eliminates April 15th as the annual rectal introspection day. The Fair Tax implements a national sales tax of about 23% and then only on new merchandise. Finally, everyone receives a refund to the government specified poverty level.

Of course, Democrats have come up with an effective strategy against the Fair Tax as clever as it is dishonest. Critz claimed in political ads that Burns was a tax raiser then computed the price of everything with the new sales tax. There was no mention of the income tax repeal or the reimbursement check. To voters who know nothing about the Fair Tax, a new sales tax can be quite unappealing.

Fifth district congressman Tom Periello used the same strategy in his win against Virgil Goode, who also came out as an advocate for the Fair Tax. So, this warning is for any politician favoring the Fair Tax, never say that support explicitly. Say instead, that it’s the income tax that must be repealed. Don’t ever mention what’s to replace it. In that way, the pro-regressives can’t make a dishonest ad misrepresenting their opponent’s true tax position.

But the politician that used the best underhanded strategy to win would be Democrat Joe Sestak who defeated incumbent Arlen Specter. Specter was a Democrat, then a Republican, then a Democrat again. Actually, he was whatever he thought he needed to be to win re-election. The consummate politician, “I believe what you believe. Now, what do you believe?”

Back in February Sestak began telling anyone who would listen that the Obama administration had offered him a job if he would drop his senate bid, a felony. What’s amazing is that Sestak got an administration job offer even though he isn’t under any suspicion of income tax invasion.

Only Fox News pursued the story asking at practically every White House press news conference what the Obama administration’s response was to Sestak’s allegations. “Nothing” would be a vast overstatement. In fact, Robert Gibbs, Obama’s spokesman, didn’t even act like the dog ate his homework when after promising to find out didn’t and/or wouldn’t.

The truth is that Obama didn’t consider it important because he depends on the liberal lapdog media to obediently report only those issues he wants them to cover. Unfortunately, Sestak won, and this campaign issue has taken a life of its own.

Sestak never said what position he was offered. Many speculated Secretary of the Navy, a position only the president could authorize. Yet, as soon as Sestak won, he suddenly lost interest in talking about his administration employment connection. Maybe, it’s because that no longer helps him get elected against a Republican opponent. In fact, he’s willing to become “Sellout Sestak” accepting whatever story the administration needs in order to join their gang.

What’s their narrative, the job was non-paying and presented by ex-Pres Bill Clinton. Perfect, as Liar in Chief and convicted of perjury he’s the perfect person to blow this snow job. Unfortunately, for Obama and Sestak, his political play of the week has backfired, but don’t look for this crime to become a real issue unless Republicans take back congress because Democrats have proven that they will do anything they need to do to acquire and keep power.
