Liberal Democrat Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) made a startling prediction last night on Al Sharpton’s MSNBC show. Rep. Fattah suggested that Barack Obama would benefit politically from high unemployment. Here’s what he said: “ those people who are unemployed, they’re not going to be voting for the party who wants to cut their benefits, cut access to food stamps, cut job training.”
Rep. Fattah’s statement was very revealing. He hopes that Obama is buying enough votes to win. I hope the taxpayers who are paying for all these things won’t vote for the party that wants to further raise their taxes so it can redistribute more of their hard-earned income. Yet another reminder of why we must win in November! Gary Bauer, Campaign for Working Families
