When Democrats lose the Congress next Tuesday they have nobody to blame but themselves .. with maybe a little help from Mother Nature. Yup. Rain is tracking in the forecast and this is said to affect who turns out the polls. When it rains, according a Northwestern University political science professor, Democrats don't do as well: "Republicans are helped by bad weather ... it does harm Democratic prospects." This is because the poor and the elderly tend to be Democrat voters, and if it is raining they have a hard time getting to where they need to be. Well .. that's what the good professor says, but I think maybe we could expand on that. Many Democrat voters generally just don't like to put themselves out all that much. You know ... jobs and stuff. How much easier is it for someone to sit home and collect unemployment checks than it is to get out there and find someone who will pay you to do something ... anything ... for a paycheck. The good professor may well be right about the elderly. Bad weather does present some problems for them getting to the poll.

So ... let's stick to this "the poor and elderly have problems with weather" bit. Reports like this will only lead to more excuses for a Democrat loss. I guess that would make Democrats feel much better about themselves ... better, anyway, than facing the fact that so many of these people just don't like what Democrats stand for and what the have done ... and they just aren't that enthused about the Republicans either, so they'll just stay at home, thank you very much. Barack Obama himself admitted this fact to Al Sharpton yesterday. Obama said, "My name may not be on the ballot, but our agenda for moving forward is on the ballot, and I need everybody to turn out." Don't ya just love that phrase .. "our agenda of moving forward." Moving forward to what? If you're rushing toward the end of the pier, maybe changing your direction would be worth some consideration. Voters seem to think so.

Again ... moving forward to what?

Moving forward to unprecedented federal debt. From the time the gavel fell opening the first session of the first congress of the United States .. way back yonder in the late 1780s, until 1990 --- that's about 210 years - our country amassed $3 trillion in debt. Barack Obama amassed $3 trillion in additional debt in the first 17 months of his presidency. Moving forward.

When Nancy Pelosi became Speaker of the House on January 4, 2007 she announced that there would be no more deficit spending. None. Nada. Nunca. Since that time she has presided over a House of Representatives that has increased our deficit spending by another $5 trillion dollars. Moving forward.

When ObamaCare was passed The Community Organizer told us that we would be able to keep our insurance if we liked it. We can't. He told us it would cut the deficit. The Congressional Budget Office now says it won't. He told us it would cost less than one trillion dollars. It will cost more.

It takes 150,000 new jobs every single month in our country just to keep up with the rate of population growth. Obama hasn't seen that figure one single time since he was sworn in. Moving forward.

Out of every dollar our country spends today over 40 cents is borrowed. Moving forward.

America has been in recessions before. Never, though, has American seen a recession end with so few new private sector and so many government jobs being created. Moving forward.

At the rate that Obama is moving our country, we are moving right into bankruptcy. We are moving right into a period of unprecedented joblessness and growth of the moocher class. Moving forward implies becoming a better version of oneself. Obama is not taking our country in a direction of self idealization but off the cliff of self destruction.
