DEMS: JFK, where are you?

Lately there have been several letters to local papers from obvious Clinton supporters who claim to be part of the GOP, who decry what claim to be the failures of the GOP. I would ask them what became of the party of JFK, who was not known for lying to the country, and wouldn’t have stood still for the corruption we have now.

Although the Benghazi attack was watched on live feed, we had Hillary and her aids telling us and the victims families it was a protest for two weeks because of election time. Although we don’t pay ransom/trade for hostages, we at least gave the enemy five Taliban leaders for a soldier. Then the White House spokesman (Susan Rice) announced Bergdahl served with honor and distinction, while knowing he was a deserter. For the first time ever, a court martial has been delayed for three years, and will be scheduled after the election. He collected 300K in back pay and remains free, and it’s a safe bet he will be given a pardon, told to keep his mouth shut about ransom, and receive an honorable discharge with benefits better than those who die in rescue operations.

In a speech last year, Obama stated that under his leadership, the world is safer than ever before, and he had ISIS on the run. Since they only have 80K members, and only a few million refugees have fled to other countries, surely those other countries are wrong to criticize his strategy of lead from behind. He does not have a coalition, as none of those countries trust him. And Hillary plans to continue the same failed policies, and bring more Syrian refugees to the U.S. despite all the intelligence agencies warnings that ISIS will infiltrate. With the radical beliefs of the Jihadies, the LBGT community might begin to fully understand Orlando might happen again, and this policy isn’t real good for them.

Military members who mishandle classified documents, whether on purpose or not are prosecuted, as dumb isn’t an excuse. But when a high official mishandles several hundred, she just claims as the Secretary, she was too stupid to know the info she was reading was classified. I can just imagine Bill’s voice in the background saying “She did not have sex with that server.”

With 90M people out of the workforce, minority welfare increased 58 percent, black unemployment up 20 percent, black home ownership at it’s lowest since the ’70s, and income down 5.8 percent, how much longer can they claim it’s Bush’s fault and they aren’t responsible.

Since when is it acceptable to overlook the lies, irresponsible behavior and corruption of the last eight years, and want a continued path?
