The Real Side | Commentary by Joe Messina

joemessinamugIt seems the party of “the people” can win only by lying to “the people.”

Sen. Harry Reid admitted last week he lied to help President Obama win. At this point, Reid is the most honorable man in the Democratic party.

You see, he is the only Democrat really to come out after being caught and basically say, Yup, I did it and I got what I wanted, so sue me. He knew the information on Obama’s opponent, Mitt Romney, was false. There was no “insider” at Romney’s company. But he and the rest of the Dems were OK with lying about it.

The Democrats should change the name of the party to the “Whatever it takes to win” party. Tell the people whatever it takes to get them in bed with you and then you can say, “I didn’t mean it that way.”

The now ever-famous and haunting words, “if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor,” were clearly a lie. “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan,” also a lie. Then he tried to “clarify” with, “What I meant was, if it fit our parameters.” Yet another lie.

I think when the new edition of “The Book of Lies” gets published, the first group of pages will be all Democrats, and mostly Mr. Oblamo. It will be followed closely behind by Billy “where’s the free sex island?” Clinton’s “I did not have sexual relations with that woman” and “it depends of what the meaning of is, is.” Not far behind is the oh-so-loving spouse, Hillary “What difference does it make?” Clinton.

If a Republican did one-tenth of what the Clintons have done to the public, there would be rioting in the streets, courtesy of the Revs. Sharpton and Jackson.

Recently, U.S. Rep. Gutierrez of Illinois said, “If the Republicans got in the way of the amnesty order, there would be militant action from the immigrants.” What?

Hey, Mr. Gutierrez, did you just threaten American representatives and citizens with militant action from non-American citizens? Did you just sanction an act of violence to perpetuate the breaking of laws? Aren’t you a lawmaker, sworn to uphold the U.S. Constitution? Isn’t this a form of treason?

A bunch of Democrats screamed “discrimination” about Indiana’s new law protecting peoples’ religious beliefs and the practice thereof. Interestingly enough, it’s the same reason the original settlers came here – to get away from religious persecution. This group of Dems said no one should patronize, support or take part in any event or action to support Indiana. Curious. Some of these same Dems made a trip to Cuba to support the illegal actions of President Obama.

In case you haven’t figured it out, Mr. Obama and clan believe the Constitution and the laws of this country don’t apply to them. They let the Castro Crew know they are in support of Cuba normalizing relations with America. Well, if the Dems hold true to their belief system, then that would occur only after the Castro regime changes its laws and treatment of homosexuals, right? And after they change their laws on the treatment of political prisoners?

But the Democrats are telling us our sanctions aren’t working, and simply normalizing relations with Cuba will fix all that – just like it has worked in the Middle East?

And then there’s Iran. The president wants us to believe the deal (non-deal) he made with Iran was good for everyone involved. It was so good that even the French walked away, stating what a bad deal it was.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says it is the beginning of the end. The Russians and Chinese left because there was no movement. But our ever-loving, “alternate universe reality” President Obama said we were staying at the table because we were making progress.

Usually when one person in the room sees a situation one way and the rest see it another, the odd man out is under the influence of narcotics or some other delusion.

The president televised his usual rah-rah speech about how happy and proud he was of his team and this non-deal. Sure, the Iranians got sanctions lifted, and all they really had to agree to do is come back to the table with a real plan by June. They also agreed to have open weapons inspections – you know, the kind they’ve agreed to many times in the past and ignored many times in the past with little (or no) consequences. But President Obama says it’s a good deal for all if Iran does what they say.

I’m taking bets. Anyone else?

I often wonder why Obama chooses the most communist, hate-filled, anti-human-rights countries to build alliances with, all the while shunning and getting in the way of progress with our allies all across the world. Any thoughts? Keep it clean.

We have been blatantly lied to and threatened by President Obama, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, Attorney General Eric Holder, Al Gore and Rep. Gutierrez, just to name a few. In the time of our Founding Fathers, every one of these individuals would have been brought up on treason charges and disposed of accordingly.

My real issue is that the America-loving Democrats don’t come out against their own. It takes an act of God to get them to move. And don’t show us Sen. Menendez as the one example. He is just a casualty after daring to question the president. Are there no others? Or are they just too afraid after seeing what happened to Menendez? DOJ says they it not prosecute Lois Learner. They know they are required to do so under the law but are choosing to ignore it. Menendez, an enemy of their party is a yes, and Lois Learner, an enemy of the people but a good “party” soldier, is a no.

Republicans go after themselves to a fault. The Dems never spend money on opposition research because they know they can get all of that from Republicans during primaries. Most of the time we take our own people to the woodshed and perform public floggings. Just look at what is being said from within the party about current candidates for the upcoming presidential race.

Obama, Holder, Clintons(s) and many others at the top have lied to and cheated on the American people. Is that because they know their message is old and can’t win? Is it really the only way they can win? Have they solidified themselves as the party of the untruth?

By their actions, the Dems appear to be “over it” with our laws, our rules and our protocols. And we really do absolutely nothing to stop them. The Democratic leadership is 100 percent sure it is smarter than us and knows what’s better for us, so they just repeatedly sidestep the laws. Be honest with yourselves, people, even those of you on the left.

They care more for non-American lawbreakers than they do for the people who were born here, have paid taxes (their salaries) and voted them in.

Sadly, it seems the Dems are willing to do anything they can to prove they are right, even if it brings this country to its knees. The question is, are you going to sit idly by and just let it happen, or are you going to do something about it?
