Democrats have always been money-grubbers, but as long
as they were being outspent by Republicans in elections they pretended to hate
the cost of campaigning and proclaimed that they wanted to get money out of
politics, or better yet, go to a government-subsidized financing system. But
the rant against Republicans for raising and spending too much money for
elections came to a halt recently when Hillary announced that her campaign had accumulated
more money than Donald Trump, who is self-financing his campaign for president,
and she suddenly began bragging about having more money than Trump, and
expressing pride in this formerly despised accomplishment. At this mid-stream
attitude-change, Hillary suddenly became proud of the larger pile of cash and
the larger expenditures of money her staff was able to make to buy ads and
spend money on campaign events. All at once money was a good thing and no
longer a problem that undermined a fair election season and an open democracy, such
as America has.
On a different money-related, government issue,
Democrats are belly-aching loudly about the Republicans spending seven million
dollars on their Benghazi investigation in an attempt to determine Hillary’s
culpability in the attacks and the deaths of the four Americans that reported
to her. But then we learn of the Democrats wasting eight million dollars on the
lie of global warming, all of which is completely political and an attempt to
gain more control over the lives of Americans and get a lock on controlling the
economy to favor Democrat demographics and policy. So when the subject is
really an attempt to punish a wrong-doer and make government more open and
honest Democrats aren’t interested. But when
it’s pure politics and the promotion of lies and deceit, Dems are fully
on-board.
One wonders if Democrats have any honest principles at
all or are they interested only in blaming opponents for doing what they
themselves, as Democrats, do. Or are they solely and only interested in winning
elections and getting control of government and the nation’s wealth?
