Democrats plan a major lame duck offensive

  Democrats could be in real trouble this November; they face the very real possibility of losing the House outright and having a smaller majority in the Senate. This would make passing anything over the next two years quite difficult, and the Democrats realize this.

  So the Democrats are now devising a new strategy to pass their radical leftist agenda. The House is adjourning a week earlier than normal this year in order to postpone taking votes on controversial issues before the reconvene in November for the lame duck session. How can congress adjourning early be a bad thing? How can this strategy help them to pass their radical agenda? The answer is twofold depending on what happens during the mid-term elections.

  First, by delaying votes on controversial issues such as amnesty for illegals, card check, and cap and trade they hope that voter anger will subside in time and that this will help them win re-election. If this happens we can be assured that Democrats will see this as a sign that the American people still support their radical agenda and they will happily oblige them by pushing their agenda forward.

  Secondly, if Democrats do fare as badly as is expected in the mid-terms, the Democrats plan to use the lame duck session as a chance to push through their radical agenda.

  Even if we win we lose.

   The theory goes like this: Democrats who win re-election will rightfully feel emboldened and will not fear pushing their radical agenda. Meanwhile Democrats who lose re-election and otherwise would be leery of pushing the Obama regime’s agenda will no longer have anything to lose, thereby being free to push cap and trade, card check, and amnesty for illegals. They would have already lost, so they have nothing left to lose. Instead of listening to the voice of the people, they will consider this an opportunity to give the American people one last middle finger before they leave office.

  The Obama regime has already showed the American people that they do not care about the opinions of the American people when they used shady politics to pass the unpopular healthcare reform bill, so why would they listen to the voters who voted these radicals out of office? If Democrats lose their re-election bids they intend to double down and pass the agenda that the American people will have voted against in the mid-term elections.

  We cannot let the prospect of this strategy get us down, that is what they are hoping for. They feel that if the American people think there is no reason to go to the polls because Democrats are going to do whatever they want in spite of the election results that low voter turnout will hand them a victory at the polls. This result would be devastating because they would then have an additional two years to destroy this country. Even if we vote them out and they manage to push through some of their radical ideas, it will still be less damaging than if we allow them two more years to continue.

  We must limit the damage while we can, we must get to the polls even if it seems as if politicians aren’t listening to us. We cannot afford another two years of Democrat majorities in congress. We must vote and we must let our voices be heard even if no one is listening because time is of the essence here.
