The Democrats or the Devil

Great article! Basically the D's are campaigning that it's either 'The Democrats or the Devil'.

One really needs to parse the words that Obama says, because he takes a few truths, adds in one big lie, and another smaller lie, and makes it seem like a legitimate idea. In fact, the whole thing, when combined, becomes a lie:

But right now, we've got a choice between a Republican Party that has moved to the right of George Bush and is looking to lock in the same policies that got us into these disasters in the first place, versus an administration that, with some admitted warts, has been the most successful administration in a generation in moving progressive agendas forward.

Let's parse this statement:

But right now, we've got a choice between a Republican Party that has moved to the right of George Bush

True, but then, Bush was not a true conservative. Even though he lowered taxes (his only conservative accomplishment), he also greatly grew the size of government, which I disagreed with every step of the way.

 and is looking to lock in the same policies that got us into these disasters in the first place,

COMPLETE LIE! It was the progressive agenda, the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) that got us into trouble. It happened under Carter first, then under Clinton, with the zero down loans.

 versus an administration that, with some admitted warts,

HA! The Understatement of the Century!

has been the most successful administration in a generation in moving progressive agendas forward.

Completely true statement, but then, that is certainly NOT something to brag about. All in all the statement is not true and is a politician's way of lying to cover his and the Democrat's rear ends in hopes of diminishing their losses this November.

Everywhere you look this election season, the sales pitch is the same: it's Democrats or the Devil.  The Party and its President claim the moral and intellectual strength to run every aspect of our lives, and confiscate limitless amounts our income… but they won't explain or defend their actions, because we can't handle the truth.  Instead, they campaign by assuring us their opponents are monsters.  If I were one of their voters, I would tire of being treated like an idiot, and wonder why a Party full of geniuses can't make a single rational appeal.
