Last night Joe Biden spoke at the Arizona Democratic Party fundraiser, and his passions rose as he sought to demonize Republicans for standing in the way of fixing the country.
“The first thing we did was reach out to Republicans, thinking that we were in such dire shape as a nation…
Our Republican colleagues not only rejected our hand, not only didn’t give any help, but they stood in the way of any concrete action!”
You may say, ‘hey, he was just telling the truth’. But that’s the furthest thing from the truth. First of all Democrats never reached out to Republicans asking for ideas. They railroaded their radical left legislation through without allowing any input from their opponents across the isle. The only thing they wanted was votes, and that’s the only thing they reached out for.
Secondly, Republicans had solutions that they put on the table to deal with creating jobs and repairing the economy from the start, however Democrats kept churning out the phrase “the party of No” to hide the fact that Republicans were offering their own ideas. The MSM just allowed the Democrats to do this without any challenge, and many times pushed the same meme. The Democrats have been demonizing Republicans from day one and continue to do so as Biden does in the clip below.
Now this is really no surprise if you’ve been following politics for the last few years. But what makes this interesting is that Obama took time to speak out and condemn the game of demonizing opponents yesterday at the University of Michigan Spring Commencement address:
“But we can’t expect to solve our problems if all we do is tear each other down. You can disagree with a certain policy without demonizing the person who espouses it. You can question somebody’s views and their judgment without questioning their motives or their patriotism.”
