Monday’s Rallies were coordinated by a Pro-Venezuela dictator group (why did Dem candidates attend?)

It is no secret that the United States, along with much of the civilized world, has recognized the opposition leader in Venezuela as the new head of government, in an attempt to end the Socialist dictatorship that is literally starving the people of Venezuela to death.  Along with recognizing the new government of Venezuela, the civilized world has been pushing for the Socialist dictatorship to end and the dictator, President Nicolas Maduro, to resign. 

To end the suffering and starvation of the Venezuelan people, the Trump administration and other national governments around the world have sent food and other forms of aid to the people of Venezuela.  But there are others, here in America and elsewhere, who don’t want to admit that – once again – socialism has failed.  That the dictatorship in Venezuela is only the latest in a long chain of evidence that shows that their pet cause and childish dream doesn’t work.  From the Ukraine to China, people always end up starving to death because of it.

On Monday, an organization named CREDO Action coordinated more than 200 rallies across America against Donald Trump.  This came on the same day that Donald Trump asked Venezuelans and the Venezuelan military to dump the socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro.  A curious coincidence, isn’t it?

CREDO Action is a new creation, closely connected to a group called the Centre for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR), which has been around for twenty years.  CEPR is a Leftist think tank based in Washington, DC.  One of CEPR’s core interests is Latin America policy.  According to Wikipedia…

CEPR has published at length about Venezuela and has been described as supporting Hugo Chávez and the Venezuelan government with some of the data presented by CEPR along with Weisbrot being accused of using slanted information to support the Venezuelan government. Staff members such as Mark Weisbrot, CEPR's founder, and Deborah James, the former director of the Venezuelan government's Venezuela Information Office, have attended pro-Venezuelan government events alongside other activists such as Daniel Kovalik Venezuelanalysis.com, a pro-Bolivarian website, has also used CEPR as their only source of economic indicators for their website since 2007.

So why are Democrat Party legislators and legislative candidates shilling for a South American dictator who is starving his own people?

Why are they bashing Donald Trump, when he is providing food and other aid to the starving people of Venezuela?  Do they oppose feeding the hungry?

Do they hate Donald Trump that much… or do they love the Socialist dictator Maduro?  Maduro would rather all Venezuela starve to death than to see his Socialist dictatorship lose power.  Local politics is going international… and getting weirder and weirder.

These local legislative candidates are supposed to be finding ways to cut property taxes and ways to better educate our children and instead they are out on the streets attacking the American government, doing the work of a South American dictator who is starving his own people to death.  These Democrats should be ashamed. 

Rasmussen Polling: Voters think “Socialist” sucks

Forget that a few “Democratic Socialists” have achieved victory in some fringe districts… forget that they and the Women’s March/ Action Together/ Indivisible/ Antifa crowd are trying to drag their party into embracing the word “Socialist” and all that comes with it (think Venezuela)… 

Rasmussen Reports issued polling today that shows that to be a bad plan… a very bad plan:

“When it comes to political labels, moderate and conservative are best for candidates, socialist the worst. 

Rasmussen Reports in its latest national telephone and online survey asked Likely U.S. Voters about five major political labels and whether they would be considered a positive description of a candidate, a negative one on somewhere in between. Moderate is viewed as a positive by 39%, and just as many (38%) say the same of conservative. Thirty-three percent (33%) consider progressive a positive political description, followed closely by liberal (31%). Moderate is a negative description for a candidate for 14%; 26% feel that way about conservative. Thirty-three percent (33%) regard both liberal and progressive as negative descriptions.

The newcomer in this year’s survey is socialist, and it’s a label to avoid, voters say. Just 16% think it’s a positive description if a candidate is described as politically socialist. Nearly half (48%) view it as a negative description, while 30% say it’s somewhere in between the two.”

Just 24% of Democrats, 23% of younger voters, 19% of Black voters, and 31% of self-described Liberals view the word “Socialist” in a positive way. 

There are the toplines, here is the wording… 

National Survey of 1,000 U.S. Likely Voters

3* What about a candidate who was described to you as politically moderate? Would you consider that a positive description, a negative description, or somewhere in between?

4* Suppose a candidate was described to you as politically progressive. Would you consider that a positive description, a negative description, or somewhere in between?
