OPINION:
For decades, Democrats have used their false talking points to blame Republicans for problems that they caused.
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates are using the same ruse to deceive voters. Their “for-free” agenda would cost trillions of dollars.
But the political left has let the American people down too many times and too egregiously to be returned to power. President Clinton was offered Osama bin Laden by Sudan had multiple opportunities to capture or kill the terrorist — but chose not to. And the Clinton CIA and FBI failed to share information that could have helped prevent 9/11.

In 2009, the Obama Interior Department’s Management Service exempted BP’s Macondo exploration project from detailed environmental impact analysis required by the National Environmental impact Policy Act (NEPA). The devastating 2010 oil rig explosion in the Gulf of Mexico was the result.
And years before Hurricane Katrina, the Army Corps of Engineers deemed it necessary for New Orleans, Louisiana, to upgrade the levees surrounding the city. Yet the state’s Democratic leadership did not listen.
The irrational decisions by President Biden were even worse: open borders with no vetting of immigrants; ending energy independence; failing to stop the flow of fentanyl into our country; sex trafficking-caused deaths; financial hardships. And Mr. Biden’s withdrawal from Afghanistan left women with no rights and billions of dollars of high-tech military equipment to the Taliban.
Yet the DSA and Democrats persist in blaming Republicans for higher costs. They say that if Democrats and DSA candidates are elected, they will fix all our problems. They lie.
President Trump and the Republicans are working hard to help our country and citizens despite Democratic opposition. Our country needs to support all Republican candidates in the midterm elections.
Hopefully, in the future Democrats will return to a more rational agenda with candidates who put the welfare of citizens and country before party loyalty.
