While liberal pundits may joke that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is as popular as predecessor Grey Davis was, they should be paying a bit of attention to the increasing disapproval rating of their current leader and its already visible aftermath.

White House aides were recently quoted saying they are prepping an “aggressive schedule” for former President Bill Clinton to assist in funding and voter needs for the left regarding the upcoming election.  Obama’s schedule, for observable reasons, will be lesser and far between that Clinton’s.  While they may hide behind statements such as business needing his attention, scuff marks on his golf clubs and the mileage on Air Force One may beg to differ that prospective reasoning for his lack of electoral event involvement.

A Democratic operative discussing this stated there are few “talented politicians” on their side that can “lay out the contrast with the Republicans”.  However, the obvious reasoning behind this is as clear as Obama promised the government was going to be: “Hide the unpopular leader while we still have a chance to win.”  Clinton, no matter what kind of corrupt background he carried within his leadership, is an attention getter and will bring many checkbooks and liberal ballot marks.

No matter what they do however, the past years of the democratic leadership did happen. Hence, the only issue with that is no “talented politician” can hide the broken promises of the current Administration.  One thing that the Democrats should realize is that they are not dealing with the same voting citizens. The Tea Party, no matter what the NAACP says, has resulted in more educated citizens. Much like the first Tea Party, they are debating not only with passion but with facts and research founding their statements.

The fact that a former President who was lucky enough to be leading during an economy that had nothing to do with him and, how so many forget, was involved in historic impeachment proceedings, shows the straws which Democrats are reaching for and how much they are realizing: They may see the unemployment line in November.

Recently, a whisper from the media has resulted in a scream of the phrase that they seem to begin wearing as a badge instead of a smear more and more recently: Liberal Bias. It seems once again the liberal leadership can do no wrong, even when they are involved in an objective which they just a few years ago (something you wouldn’t realize if you saw the past few months articles) with a now member of political history.
In 2005, Jack Abramoff was huge news and pretty much placed a bull’s eye on Republican leadership. Despite the fact that there were funds accepted by Democrats such as Senator Feingold, almost immediately demands came from members of the press to return every dime ever received by Abramoff taking small bits of news such as President Bush’s contributions and enlarging them. This month, a liberal Jack Abramoff, Iranian-American investment banker Hassan Nemazee was sentenced to 12 years in prison for bank fraud. Despite title such as “Ex Clinton” periodically taking part in the title, the lack of press if any as well as nonexistence of follow up news, the press screams bias beyond any past event could have ever reached.
Not only is there a lack of news articles, but more importantly a lack of demands for returning funds. Reuters Press reported Nemazee was one of the top “bundlers” of contributions to Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics’ OpenSecrets.org. In fact, he typically donated more than $100,000 annually to Democrats including current Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The follow of the whisper seems to be a pin drop while when Abramoff was found by the press, there were not only demands for returning funds and reports of such but articles are still occurring even months ago when he attempted to repair his life in a kosher pizzeria.
It seems that this party literally can do no wrong even when court proceedings and jail sentences are involved. As said before, despite the failing ratings and readership levels, liberal bias seems to be a badge of honor instead of a stain of slander to the liberal media as a whole. The result will not only be an increase in citizen and independent journalism’s popularity, but more importantly a decline in the political party which they are consistently attempting to protect.
