Harold Ford: Moderately Conservative or Liar?
After watching his Hannity & Colmes appearance, I’m hard pressed to think he’s just playing politics to win a new democratic seat, and will vote party-line when it comes down to it. He says he’s pro-gun, anti-taxes, pro-life, pro-army, but how can you be anti-taxes yet pro healthcare and welfare? It’s a contradiction because anti-tax people KNOW those systems don’t work and are best left to charitable organizations that can run them as CHARITY not “entitlements” and handouts.
But you know, I’m atleast GLAD to see some Democrats warming up to the middle ground. I hate to say this, but the Republican party has become corrupted by special interests, and the Democratic doesn’t even need to be, because they already have an anti-middle class, anti-defense, anti-family values disposition. So maybe if we can get a SPLIT government, with republican senate and democratic house, then a new middle-ground, pro-middle class movement might spring up. I certainly hope so. Otherwise, we can only hope the Liberal Republicans get ousted and the rest get scared enough to vote in their original pro-middle class agenda that they seem to have forgotten. The verdict is still out on this border fence and if they are at all serious on illegal immigration. In my opinion they seem paralyzed by their mixed loyalty to voters AND special interest which are at odds with each other.
