I've been having a good laugh recently with some of the letters from our Democratic Party neighbors.

I love the way they make accusations, call anyone who is in the Republican Party various Democratic hate words -- anything to avoid the obvious, the rot in the Democratic Party.

It is the Democratic Party and its leaders who have abandoned the party of John Kennedy and Harry Truman. It is the Democratic Party and its leaders who have added $5 trillion in debt in four years and project another $1 trillion in each coming year.

Forget everything else: It's the debt, stupid, paraphrasing one of their own slogans from a few years ago. That is what will kill this country.

The Blue Dog Democrats certainly do not recognize their party, and the rest of us are convinced the current iteration is leading us to financial ruin. Better learn to speak Chinese as they will own us soon if President Barack Obama is re-elected this November.
