The Lies Have It

The almost obscure race to fill a seat in the US House of Representatives from upstate NY is done. It was won by a Demoncrat, but worse than that is the fact that this small area, way north of NYC, is one of the very few Conservative, Republican areas in the State. A third candidate was also running, one who "claimed to be" the Tea Party's candidate, although the Tea Party said they didn't even know him. It was the votes he took away from the Repub that seem to have made the difference. Could he have been a Demoncrat plant? I don't know, but if he was, and with the results they got, we can expect to see a lot more of this type of sabotage the closer we get to 2012. Perhaps it's yet another lesson the Repubs need to learn when dealing with the Left. If you're going to play by the rules, while the Left ignores them, the 2012 elections are already over.

The Repub candidate was seen as a shoe-in which is why the Dems sent in some heavy hitters and tons of money for support. They also used their most trusted tactics. Lies and fear. In this case, lies and fear about Paul Ryan's Medicare plan which they and the MSM have totally distorted. Attacking this plan with lies, distortions, and fear seems to be how the Left is going to deal with the very hot Medicare issue. Elderly Americans are the most vulnerable people in our society which is why they're being targeted by the Left.

As we get closer to the 2012 election, will the fear and lies work? (again) Will voters sacrifice their country for their Medicare coverage? IMO, yes...
