Once again, the Dems role out kids as Political Fodder - Granite Grok

Once again, the Dems role out kids as Political Fodder

You can tell when the Dems are either at the top of their form or are scared out of the wits.  With either extreme, they go back to the old trick in their book – roll out “the kids”.  Now, the Adults in the Room (pretty much, Conservatives and Libertarians) are pretty much disgusted with this, but the Dems keep thinking that this is smart politics – playing on Society’s and parents’ emotions.  If “Forward!”doesn’t get to you …”It’s for the kids” should.  After all, they are our future (and paying for our Social Security checks and checking us into our final nursing homes, right?) as if that is supposed to cover all ills – and ideologies.  Sure, we want to protect our kids and provide for them, but for Dems, they often are just mere political props.

Sidenote: “FORWARD!”  –  The new Obama campaign “phrase” updated with “!” as if that is supposed to make it more imperative to vote for Obamessiah.  You know what it makes me think of immediately?

  • A military commander urging his troops onward to battle to protect the homeland.  Imagine that: voting for Obama is Patriotism itself!
  • Didn’t somebody back in 1917 start using that as well?

Like here:

Creepy. Remember, Obama is a Saul Alinsky accolyte – the means justifies what ever end he wants.  To those of that ilk, there is nothing than power at stake – nothing else matters.

(H/T: Newsbusters)  Lyrics after the jump.  Can you say “nasty?”

Imagine an America
Where strip mines are fun and free
Where gays can be fixed
And sick people just die
And oil fills the sea

We don’t have to pay for freeways!
Our schools are good enough
Give us endless wars
On foreign shores
And lots of Chinese stuff

We’re the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And we’re kinda blaming you

We haven’t killed all the polar bears
But it’s not for lack of trying
Big Bird is sacked
The Earth is cracked
And the atmosphere is frying

Congress went home early
They did their best we know
You can’t cut spending
With elections pending
Unless it’s welfare dough

We’re the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And we’re kinda blaming you

Find a park that is still open
And take a breath of poison air
They foreclosed your place
To build a weapon in space
But you can write off your au pair

It’s a little awkward to tell you
But you left us holding the bag
When we look around
The place is all dumbed down
And the long term’s kind of a drag

We’re the children of the future
American through and through
But something happened to our country
And yeah, we’re blaming you

You did your best
You failed the test

Mom and Dad
We’re blaming you!

Now, is this a “parents who vote” friendly ad?  Couple that with what Obama has said about Big Bird, and that Republicans want dirty air and water, and that Romney is against his Federal paying for 100,000 new teachers (er, is that what you REALLY want, parents – the Feds in charge of your teachers or your local control??), you can see who this is aimed at.

It also is the case that Obama’s campaign and sycophants have gone to rock bottom to get their message out.  However, do they really believe that all of us are that dumb?

Really?  And if so (since they put it out there), is that the kind of Presidency you really want – one that truly believes that?

Yeah, and the kids seem so joyous about this, eh?
