Democratic Voters Are Repulsed by Republican Lies: However, They Are Only Slightly More Supportive of Democrats

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

It is no secret that the last, true Democratic President was John F. Kennedy, and before him, the greatest American President in history, Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR was the only president to place the quality of life for all Americans in priority number one without exception. This is the reason he was unbeatable and why the 22nd Amendment was signed on February 27, 1951.

I am an Independent. Since 2000, I admit to having voted for Democratic candidates exclusively. The reason is obvious: Republicans have not existed in their original form since the Reagan administration. This combined with the candidate offered by the GOP, George W. Bush, convinced me that voting for any “Republican" would have been in direct opposition to my personal beliefs and principles.

Although the Democratic Party offered the American people two outstanding presidential candidates in Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton, their platform was weak and somewhat ambiguous.

Today, if you ask any voter who supports a progressive agenda why they don’t trust Democratic candidates completely, it is because they cannot comprehensively define their position on social issues, and are unwilling to tell us how they will energetically address our needs and wishes. They appear to be a party of weak and cowardly men and women. It is not clear if their positions on the major issues are their primary concern, or if they will give 100 percent of their efforts into accomplishing those goals.

Let’s face it. Winning elections is the primary objective of every professional politician, (the most disreputable profession in the world). Neither major party is willing to serve all 340 million people, and place their personal ambitions in second place.

The average American has no friend in Washington. Our federal government is broken, and I doubt it can be repaired in its current condition.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncom...

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have ...

“The Economy is in ‘Pretty Good Shape?’”

Image
Bessent is not quite a billionaire, yet, but he is a perfect example of how ignorant Trump’s administration is. Scott Bessent is Trump’s unqualified Treasury Secretary. He is not one of the billionaires on Trump’s cabinet, but he is worth 521 million dollars. This one fact prevents the old, white man from understanding what it is to be a real American in the 21 st century. What they're saying: "There is a little uncertainty, but in general, the companies I've spoken to, CEOs, who have come into Treasury tell me that the economy is very solid," Bessent said at a conference hosted by the American Bankers Association. Really? Nobody asked me. I can offer you one fact, one example of how ignorant this Trump stooge actually is. My wife and I worked for about 40 years each. We chose our professions badly. The only retirement income we have is what we paid for: our Social Security. In January we received a 2.5 percent increase in our monthly checks. However, the cost of nec...
