From Politico:
2016 GOP -- "Rise of the Rust Belt Republicans: Are these governors [Scott Walker of Wisc., John Kasich of Ohio, Mike Pence of Ind., Rick Snyder of Mich.] the GOP's antidote to the party of the 1 percent?" by James Hohmann and Jake Sherman: "The four heartland governors are all considering ... presidential [bids], looking to run as Rust Belt success stories who can revive the party's Reagan Democrat coalition and speak to the middle class in a way Mitt Romney could not. ... Republicans looking to shed the image as the party of the 1 percent say a Midwestern state executive who's created jobs and balanced budgets might be just what the GOP needs." http://politi.co/1AxMTde
Editor's notes:
In the above, you are looking at a Progressive Liberal's brief analysis against the GOP.
Make note of their tactics; First, the article begins with the pejorative, "Rust Belt Republicans." The article references four of the more successful governors in our nation with Scott Walker winning his third election in four years, including a 7 point victory in a recall election that found the socialist teachers' union and outside Democrat Party forces throwing the kitchen sink at the Governor, without success.
Understand, the four are governors singled out by the Libs, have turned their states' economic futures around and are men who have been given the approval by the voters in their respective states. Because they are successful, and for no other reason, the four have become targets. The policy of "preemptive strikes" against anyone who might challenge the socialist party, someday, sometime in the future, has been the strategy since the days of Sarah Palin. This opening pejorative is a feckless effort at establishing a slanderous bias that could play well, in the future, should the targets of this rhetorical crap rise to prominence as to the presidential race.
Secondly, as to "shedding the image of the 1 percenter," this is another silly pejorative. Here are the facts: the Democrats have raised more money than the GOP in all election cycles since and including Bill Clinton.
The GOP has the Koch Brothers. The Dems have Warren Buffet (a billionaire currently making millions trucking oil from Canada as he opposes Keystone), Bill Gates (Socialist/Progressive billionaire), Thomas Steyer (environmentalist billionaire) , Jeffery Emmelt (Obama's one time job czar and CEO for GE), the nation's teachers unions, most of the industrial unions, and hundreds of corporations (GE, Amazon, Facebook, IBM, all of the Green Industry, all of the alternative energy companies, all three of the major non-cable networks, most of the secular and state run colleges/universities, 55% of all Wall Street CEO's - all Progressive/Capitalists in their own right, and on and on), not to mention the likes of Pelosi, the Obamas, the Clintons, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, are all multi-millionaires, as well.
Nothing wrong with being rich. But, there is everything wrong with pretending you are not rich while working the system to accumulate more and more personal wealth.
The first lie Obama told, as a president dating back to his '08 campaign, was his promise to run his campaign per the limits set by the McCain/Feingold Senate bill. It was the law, at the time. McCain lived by that rule, believing that honesty was a winning strategy, and, watched as Obama, in blatant violation of his own promise, took in $800 million dollars of private money (a record at the time) to McCain's 490 million dollars. It is now clear, that Obama never intended on keeping this campaign promise, and has refused to reveal where more than half that money came from.
Point of this post: simply to document the empty minded strategy of the Left, their tiresome strategy of name-calling, and the lie that they are the party of the people. Understand that the world of heavy finance, as applied to a national campaign, was the creation of H Obama, and the GOP has been playing catchup since 2008.
