Moderates Jump Ship as Democrat Party Goes Over the Edge
Relative moderates who haven't been driven out of the Democrat Party like Joe Lieberman are bailing out on their own, alarmed at how dangerously radicalized it has become.
Former Shrillary supporter Donald Trump was never a good fit for the Dems, considering that he wanted to rebuild the World Trade Center after 9/11, which is hardly in keeping with their chin-on-the-chest, defeatist mentality. As Politico reports, he's voting McCain primarily for a reason that should resonate with anyone following recent financial news:
[T]his is not the right time for tax increases. And Obama wants to increase your taxes drastically.
Despite The One's slick assurances that he will only raise taxes on people other than you, tax hikes on anyone would be disastrous, given our current economic situation. But for BO, all that matters in economics is that "social justice" be imposed. That is, Whitey gets it in the eye, and if an ebbing tide leaves all boats stuck in the mud, that just increases the Dems' government-dependent base.
Top Shrillary fundraiser Lynn Forester de Rothschild agrees that now is not the time to experiment with ultra-radicalism:
I believe that Barack Obama, with MoveOn.org and Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean, has taken the Democratic Party — and they will continue to — too far to the left. I'm not comfortable there.
But Obama can rest assured that he still has the support of Hamas, the New Black Panthers, and the Communist Party USA.

While taxing the rich more may sound good - Demodupes dont understand that those tax increases will be passed on down the line in the form of higher prices for products, fewer jobs and smaller pay raises. After all, if you are running a business and Uncle Sam says "pay 10% more in taxes", arent you going to look for ways to cut expenses, payroll and make up for that increase?
The problem with the Federal Government is too much spending - Bush has been a real dissappointment in this area especially with that horrible new perscription drug program that mainly benefits drug companies and dopes up seniors on dozens of pills - endless new social programs wont help either. Congressmen need to reread the Constitution and see what the Federal Government is supposed to handle - the get rid of everything else. Ok, it wont happen, but I can dream!

Trickle-down theory is operative whatever is done to the top; piss flows downhill just like gravy, only faster.

Liberals still refuse to believe that the minimum wage increase caused an increase in unemployment

How dare we use facts to argue these issues? We have to vote for The One. He'll save us... from our own wallets.

There's ever a good time?
Maybe there's a good time to perform a lobotomy on oneself?
