It's funny how much of the Democrat modus operandi resembles that of scam artists.
Holiday scams are rising as many rush for deals yet discount due diligence.
The left employs its own kind of political phishing, creative, yet driven by emotions such as vanity, guilt, and vengeance.
Regardless of how it is done, liberalism often disguises its true political aims. Comparing even those political tactics to more nefarious holiday hustles could be useful.
A growing fraud is the non-delivery scam.

0bamacare is certainly a non delivery scam that seems to fund leftist NGOs.
Since 0bamaCare more than doubled the cost of health insurance it’s like an online store that doesn’t deliver the product and charges your credit card again when you contact them about the problem.
