Weekly Candidate News Round-up

It is time to pull no punches in the election message from the Democrats and The Whitehouse. The right wing Republicans have not done so from the beginning in shouting distorted untrue messages about President Obama, Obamacare, job creation efforts, state budget cuts blame, to claiming that global warming is based on junk science! It is time to loudly and clearly and continually to call them for what they are, liars! Bald face liars! And, it is time to bring the message to the voting public that it is time to throw the liars out and put responsible Democrats in who want to help solve our nation’s problems not create more of them! They continually lie about President Obama not being one of us, not being born in the USA when all the facts show otherwise, again and again and yet they still insinuate such distorted untruths! They claim that the Affordable Care Act will force people to lose their health care that they like when it does not and actually further provides choices for them in the future that could well be less expensive and more inclusive, and yet they continue to lie about it! They claim that Obamacare will raise voter taxes when it will do nothing of the sort except for those small percentages who can afford health care and do not enroll will be charged a penalty fee, another lie! They claim that state budget defaults are caused by teachers, firefighters, police and other government workers when they absolutely had nothing to do with the economic downturn caused by Wall Street and big financial firm irresponsible action when that clearly is not so, another lie repeated again and again! They also blame Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid as give-away programs when we all pay into that program with the agreement that such programs will be available when we need them, another distortion! They claim that global warming is based on junk science, another lie when all reputable experts confirm that global warming and severe climate change is happening right now as Colorado and Texas fires run rampant over dry land caused by global warming activities, another lie and distortion! Many, like Mike Kelly, Representative for NW Pa. shouted about how Obamacare was taking away people’s rights when, in fact, it was giving them more choices and rights in terms of their health care! He argued against the bailout of the auto industry while his GM car dealership was able to stay in business because of the government assistance to the auto industry that has been paid back with interest for the most part and created and saved millions of jobs which also help the economy recovery with more spending and help the government revenue by having more tax contributors to help pay down our debt and pay for essential services! Kelly still wants to repeal Obamacare when people are benefitting by it right this minute and has not supported the job’s bill that would help put NW Pa. citizens back to work! Kelly and other right wing types continue to tell lies about the most important problems facing this nation and distort what solutions that have been offered by the Democrats and rejected unanimously by the Republicans! It is time to throw the liars out and replace them with responsible citizens who want to work together to create jobs, provide affordable and available health care for all, to responsibly regulate big banks and the financial institutions that caused this economic recession, and to responsibly address nationwide and worldwide health and safety problems contributed by global climate change and failed obsolete energy policy to a more diverse alternative energy approach. It is time to throw the do-nothing liars out of Congress and replace them with responsible citizens and Democrats who want to work together for a better nation and against each other for a gridlocked do nothing Congress that we have now.
