Liberals buy vote, group by group

Here we go … the current administration, bolstered by its liberal demagoguery, is on the move to buy our vote:

Gays and lesbians by ignoring the Defense of Marriage Act.

Women by offering free contraception and starting a “war on women.”

The middle class by giving a tax holiday.

Hispanics by not enforcing deportation rules for some illegal aliens and pushing the Dream Act.

The poor by blaming the “rich” for their plight.

African Americans, well they’re not really buying that one, it’s just guaranteed.

Not that some won’t welcome these, but it diverts the focus on the real issues that face all Americans and their children and their children’s children. It’s an attempt to stay in power by throwing bones and playing on others’ sensibilities.
