DEMS: Moderates don't exist

If you like Obama, you will love the local Democrat candidates. If you like the government intruding into your life, vote for a Democrat, or don’t vote. Democrats want to control what you eat, say, think and do, 24/7.

Democrats will tell you how they will make your life so much better by increasing government spending, but they will never tell you where the money is coming from.

Will they increase taxes, or cut programs? For them, they always say, “Don’t worry, it’s other people’s money.” What they mean is, it won’t be their money, it will be your money.

If you own property, they will tell you that you have no property rights. Yow will not determine how your property is used, they will.

They will tell you that if the education system graduated more people with degrees, that jobs in North Idaho would be booming. If NIC turned out 1,000 Ph.D.s a year, do you think the Silicon Valley would relocate to North Idaho? That would not happen. Businesses locate where there is a large local population of skilled and semiskilled workers, and North Idaho doesn’t have a large population to fill this requirement.

Democrats work very hard to shut down the industries we have in North Idaho (timber and mining), then complain about the lack of jobs.

So if you want more government control and intrusion in your life, and less money in your pocket, vote for a Democrat. Remember, there is no such thing as a moderate Democrat.
