It appears the Democrats are once again tearing a page out of their worn out playbook by showcasing what they describe as “real people” to speak at their upcoming convention. With the Democrats, there are always victims, never achievers. To hear the left tell it, America is is nothing more than long soup lines, starving people, homelessness, unemployed, and those dying because they have no health care. Without a doubt there are those out there experiencing rough times and life seemingly is unfair.  No doubt unexpected and external circumstances come into play with these less than fortunate people. However, in most cases the underlying cause of the downtrodden in this country are the bad personal choices they’ve made in their very own lives. In reality, these select few of “real people” being paraded before the American public, are more than likely irresponsible people who vote the Democrat party line, in order to get something for nothing, from their beloved government. All the while…hard working, tax paying, productive Americans foot the bill.

Why is it the Democrats never showcase successful people? How about showcasing a person who goes to work in the dark and comes home in the dark. A person who started with nothing and through hard work and determination, created a successful small business which employs fellow Americans. Someone who didn’t need government interfering in their lives. Why not showcase a small business owner to tell Americans what Obama’s “tax the rich” plan will do to their business. Fat chance of that happening. No, the Democrats would rather peddle their doom and gloom along with America is the cause of all that is wrong in the world today.

El Rushbo had some interesting things to say about this in his Thursday early morning update.

Aside from all the usual Democrat party hacks who are lined up to try to dupe America at their convention next week in Denver, Democrats have reserved prime-time spots for what they’re calling “real people.”

The convention organizers hope these “real people” will counter the image of Obama as an out-of-touch celebrity elitist… as he delivers his acceptance speech at the 75,000-seat Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium. With the help of professional scriptwriters, speech coaches, and handlers, 20 “real people” will testify how their sad lives (as members of the oppressed working class, of course) will be changed by The Messiah, Lord Barack Obama the Most Merciful.

For all the talk of change, this is nothing new. It’s a standard page in the Democrat playbook. The “parade of victims” seeking government help is part of every high-profile Congressional hearing, and every major Democrat campaign. It’s the Democrats’ “soup-line” view of America; a country on the verge of collapse – where indigent citizens are clamoring for a savior to fix their lives.

Folks, it would be great – just once – to see a political convention with real “real people.” The real people whose individual responsibility and effort can be showcased as the reason for their success; the people who make the country work! The real people who understand that liberty and limited government are the foundation for our incredible standard of living — and who appreciate the truly heroic sacrifices of the military… the real America that doesn’t need a politician to be its savior. Put them on display — just once!
