“Did you vote for Barack Obama?” this is a simple six word question that can destroy Democrats whether they answer it or not.
During the last election cycle Republicans were tortured and defeated by a simple question: “Are you against abortion in all cases?” These seven words wrecked an easy win for Republicans in Missouri and damaged more than one other GOP candidate.
This year, quite by accident, an equivalent question for Democrats has surfaced and it doing as much damage to them. When asked by the Louisville Courier-Journal editorial board if she voted for Obama, Kentucky Democrat US Senate candidate Alison Grimes refused to answer then stammered and stuttered trying to change the subject.
In the week since Grimes has been in the same type of damage control mode Missouri Republican US Senate candidate Todd Akins was in when he could not talk his way out of a foolish statement on abortion. To no one’s surprise Akin lost to the most vulnerable Democrat incumbent in the country.
In Georgia, when an opposition researcher asked Democrat Senate candidate Michelle Nunn if she voted for Barack Obama in the 2008 and 2012 elections she refused to answer. Instead she tried to make the question go away with a smile. Finally one of her handlers answered for her saying, “Yes, of course, yes, he’s the president…he’s done great things…healthcare….”

It didn’t take 6 years for ME.
I got the message right away.
"Knowing what you know now, if given the opportunity, would you vote for Obamacare again?"
Grimes’ response to that question was just plain stupid. She actually had an opportunity to turn it around and use her answer as a positive. As much as we on FR cannot understand it, there were many people who voted for Obama twice. Not all of those were raving moonbats; there just aren’t enough moonbats out there to win a presidential election. If polls are to be believed, there are many people out there who voted for Obama but now regret it and think Romney would have been a better POTUS. What Grimes should have said was, “yes, I voted for Obama, but he didn’t come through for the citizens of Kentucky, and I now regret doing so.” That way, she answers honestly, she distances herself from Obama, and she gives an answer that many people can relate to.
“I got the message right away.”
As soon as he said, “my Muslim faith” it was over Johnny.
Great bumper sticker.
How about “What is the democrat endgame, what do you expect America to look like after you are done?
Ok, two questions...
Bet the answer (if forthcoming)bears little resemblance to “the American experiment.”
