Democrats constantly whine about how those mean old Republicans never have any interest in negotiating and are never willing to compromise. But in truth, it’s nothing more than sour grapes. I mean, seriously, every attempt to negotiate with Democrats always ends up being nothing more than a one-way street, and Democrats define compromise as complete capitulation on the part of Republicans. Republicans are simply expected to surrender on everything while Democrats are required to surrender on nothing. Or, Democrats simply renege on whatever promises they may make to achieve their desired end result. In short, Democrats are political scum.
And it
was over this past weekend that we saw yet another example of exactly how it is
that Democrats play the game. It came courtesy of Democrat Tim Kaine’s
appearance on Sunday’s broadcast of “Meet the Press.” You see, it was then that
Kaine made the rather idiotic claim that Republicans were making empty offers
to end the government shutdown. Clearly Kaine is another of those on his side
who are working overtime in an effort to convince anyone stupid enough to
believe them that the shutdown really has nothing whatsoever to do with
Democrats. Blame should be placed solely on President Trump and the Republicans
because the Democrats say so.
Things
began when host, and resident bimbo, Kristen Welker said, “I want to turn now
to the government shutdown. This is impacting thousands of your own
constituents, senator. John Thune has said he’s offered Democrats a vote on
extending Obamacare subsidies, but Democrats have to first reopen the
government. Why not take that offer? Vote to reopen the government and then
hold a vote on extending the Obamacare subsidies.” In answering Kaine was
forced to lie or admit that Obamacare made healthcare costs sky high. And now Democrats
are inadvertently admitting that it was a failure and want the Republicans to
help cover the cost.
Kaine
said, “Here’s the issue, Kristen and there are two issues at stake, the first
is everyone’s health care will go ski high between now and the end of the year
because of the reconciliation bill cuts Republicans made to tax credits and to
Medicaid. We are trying to stop that. Offering a vote in the Senate without a
commitment that it would pass and without a commitment that the House would
take it up is an empty offer. We want to negotiate a resolution, so people’s
healthcare costs don’t speak and Republicans are saying the same thing. They
know they need to fix this so let’s fix it now.” He added, “The second issue is
a deal is a deal."
He
added, “If we shake hands with President Trump on a deal we don’t want him
firing thousands of people, canceling economic development projects and
canceling public health funds. So we are trying to get an agreement that a deal
is a deal, all sides will honor it and let’s protect people from the spiking
healthcare costs. The promise of a vote in the Senate without the promise of
action is hollow.” If only the Democrats were as passionate about their
constituents as they seem to be about illegal immigrants. But what I’m more
than a little curious about is why so many of their constituents seem to
tolerate being treated as second class citizens.
Kaine
clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about. But then there’s nothing new
about that. Republicans keep voting to open the government while Democrats keep
voting to keep it closed until they get exactly what they want. Personally, I
sleep better at night knowing that I can continue to live quite happily without
all the unnecessary government workers that are being identified the longer
this government ‘shutdown’ goes on. The longer it stays shut down the more
people will come to realize that it’s irrelevant. No doubt their plan is to
have Republicans cave because there will be immense public pressure mixed with
negative polling. Not seeing it.
Democrats
have no interest in reopening our government. Clearly, they don’t live in the
real world. I mean, how can they if they continue to believe that a man can be
a woman and can have a baby, if they believe that we should not secure the
borders of our country, if they believe that our laws are systematically racist
and that people can steal from us without accountability and if they believe
that criminals shouldn’t go to prison for their crime. Republicans must not cave
to the Democrats’ demands. The stakes are simply too high, for all of us. The
Democrats in Congress must be the ones made to back down and to allow our
government to open again.
Democrats
always play “heads I win, tails you lose,” and expect to get their way
regardless of election results. Then they proceed to gaslight because they have
no shame. Winning and ruling is all that matters to them and justifies anything
they do to that end. The Democrats want over a trillion dollars to be used for
the specific purpose of funding healthcare for those in this country illegally.
Republicans shouldn’t make any offers. The Democrats are attempting to rule
through weakness. The Democrats don’t have the cards and should be made to wear
this shutdown to their detriment. The Democrats have only made asinine demands
and no realistic offers.
Rule
number one is never negotiate with a blackmailer. Blackmail, like appeasement
or terrorism, lays the foundation for new and successively greater demands
until violence becomes the only alternative. Democrats continue to make demands
that are wholly unreasonable to re-open government. It’s time for Democrats to
stop their temper tantrum and just do the right thing. But because of its
unprecedented transformation into an anti-American, anti-capitalism,
anti-Constitution radical left party, there’s really no point in any further negotiations.
This version of the Democrat Party needs to be shunned entirely and shut down
permanently.
It would appear that the
Republicans have finally decided to not surrender to these extortion tactics. Republicans
in the House passed a clean CR bill and so have done their job. And as ‘BO’
once said, elections have consequences, so now might be a good to remind Democrats
that they don’t get a participation trophy simply for showing up. That wanting
to continue the illegal invasion, the waste, the fraud and waste in government
and their big issue of getting what would amount to over a trillion dollars in medical
and housing aid, amongst other free taxpayer funded subsidies is simply a
nonstarter. And yet they think they can bully their way to victory.
