Why Do They Lie And Hide?

Why do so many Democrat politicians spend so much time lying and hiding about who they are?

What is that all about?

Why do they need to do it if they are so concerned about DEMOCRACY?

Could it be that that they are afraid to have people vote on their actual policies and views?

For democracy to work it requires a well-informed citizenry that includes information and communication that are representative, accurate and trusted in order to insure a fair electoral process that allows citizens to hold policymakers accountable.

That is certainly not the case in 2024.

Kamala Harris and the Democrats are doing everything in their power to obfuscate and obscure almost everything about their true views, values, beliefs and agenda from the voters.

It was only yesterday (well over a month since Kamala was anointed to replace Joe Biden) that Kamala did her first interview with anyone in the media. Even then, it was pre-recorded, she needed to have her running mate with her and it was done with Dana Bash of CNN who is known for being strongly anti-Trump. It took all of 18 minutes.

Think back to what we have seen over the last several months.

It was only a little over two months ago that we were told repeatedly that Joe Biden was as "sharp as a tack" and had "never been better".

One of those who spoke those words the loudest was his Vice President who also liked to tout the fact that she was the last person in the room on the decisions that Biden made.

It was all an act.

Robert F, Kennedy, Jr. and every other potential Democrat challenger to Biden in 2024 were summarily blocked by the Democrat establishment so that Biden would have a clear path to the nomination.

One of the reasons that the Democrats kept insisting that Biden was totally fit for the Presidency was that Kamala was deemed a liability due to her far-left views and high levels of unpopularity in poll after poll when she was VP.

The polling showed that the approval ratings of Harris got progressively worse the more that people got to know her while in office.

Consider this comparison of favorability ratings of Kamala Harris to other recent VP's are reported by the Los Angeles Times in April , 2024.

Her net approval was about 20 points worse that Dick Cheney or Mike Pence at similar points in office.

Add to this the fact that Kamala had been a spectacularly poor candidate for the Democrat nomination in 2020.  She was never able to get above a 5% level in the polls and dropped out before getting even one vote in the Democrat primaries.

One of the reasons for her failure as a candidate was that her far-left views were even too much for Democrat voters.

Consider the platform that Kamala Harris ran on in 2020.

• She was in favor of the Green New Deal.
• She was opposed to fracking.
• She was strongly in favor of gun control and wanted to see mandatory gun buy backs for "assault weapons".
• She wanted to substantially reduce the defense budget.
• She was in favor of some form of reparations for African Americans.
• She was in favor of free college at public institutions.
• She was in favor of abolishing the death penalty.
• She was in favor of re-examining ICE and was opposed to building the border wall. She wants to allow more refugees and immigrants into the United States and is against sending illegal aliens home. In fact, she compared ICE to the KKK.
• She was in favor of decriminalizing illegal border crossings.
• She opposed a border wall.
• She was in favor of providing free health care coverage to illegal immigrants.
• She was in favor of a $15 national minimum wage
• She was in favor of abortion up to the time of birth.
• She was in favor of repealing most of the Trump tax cuts and would like new taxes on banks and financial institutions.
• She was is favor of reinstating the Iran nuclear deal.
• She was against the China tariffs and also opposed the new USMCA trade agreement that replaced NAFTA.
• She was a co-sponsor of Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All bill that would have eliminated private health insurance and required a new payroll tax on employers and employees to fund the cost on top of the current FICA taxes. When criticized about eliminating the option for private insurance during the campaign she changed her position and stated she was open to merely creating a "public option"

There were plenty of reasons why Democrats did everything they could to prop up Joe Biden and were fearful of Kamala Harris.

However, once they had no choice there was only one way forward.

Lie and hide.

What other way is there to try and get the American people to elect Kamala Harris?

Now that Kamala is the Democrat nominee it is as if she never held any of these views.

We are also supposed to believe that Harris did not sit at the right hand of Biden for the last 3-1/2 years as inflation surged, the invasion at the southern border occurred , we witnessed the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, Covid vaccine mandates, the Russia/Ukraine and Middle East wars and all the rest.

However, as soon as Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democrat nominee for President, she suddenly became a popular cult figure.

It is quite remarkable.

What is also remarkable in that Kamala Harris is not talking about any of the issues she held so dear when she last ran for President.

In fact, she seems to running away from them.

She was against fracking. Now we are told she is for fracking.

She was for the elimination of all private health insurance. We are now told that would be optional.

She was for mandating electric vehicles for everyone. We are now told that is not true anymore.

She was for the Iran nuclear deal. We are told that is no longer true.

She supported defunding the police. We are now told she was a tough on crime prosecutor.

She said that it should not be a crime to enter the country illegally. We are now told she knows how to fix the border chaos.

She was the deciding vote to add 87,00) new IRS employees in order to increase tax audits and compliance ro raise $200 billion in new revenues from unreported tips, etc. She has now announced she is not in favor of taxing tips at all copying a Trump proposal.

Of course, it is interesting that all of these supposed reversals in views have not come from the mouth of Kamala Harris (except the reversal of taxing tips). They have all come from faceless surrogates and subordinates.

Why is that?

May it have something to do with plausible deniability if she is elected?

The effort to lie and hide is so blatant that it is being sold as perfectly normal by Democrats defending Kamala.

“We don’t have time for that s‑‑‑,” one Democratic operative said about the idea of lengthy policy proposals. “The reason you talk about policy is to bring the race back to values, and this race is about values now, so why distract.”

This race is about values?

It is about a "threat to democracy"?

How does lie and hide fit into a values-based campaign? 

Notice that in her CNN interview that aired last night Kamala did not explain why her policy positions had changed. She said the important thing was that her values had not changed. What does that even mean when it is known that she has taken numerous radical positions in the past.

How is trying to obscure your true views from the voters not a threat to democracy of the highest order?

I also could not help but laugh when I saw this clip of actor Ben Stiller being interviewed at the DNC when asked why he was supporting Kamala Harris and her platform.

He said it was "time for change".

Harris has not only been VP for four years but the Democrats have held the White House for 12 of the last 16 years!

Time for change?

Who wants to tell Stiller?

Or course, he is undoubtedly comfortable with the Harris/Walz ticket as it is close to the world in which he spends most of his time.

It is nothing but an act.
