NJ Senate candidate Jeff Bell calls out the Takers, cue the liberal outrage machine!

Jeff Bell reminded Democrats why they're the party of government dependency, and they really don't like it when they hear the truth. Because it's not as if they've elevated pandering to an art form or anything, right?

Sandra Fluke, please call your office…

I mean really, how could anyone object to Bell's statement? Every Democrat since FDR has made it his mission in life to ensure the government handout gravy train is never derailed. LBJ's Great Society was explicitly created to keep Blacks voting Democrat "for the next 200 years."

You're just not supposed to mention that in polite company.

Hence, the Star-Ledger is outraged!

Whack that straw man! Single mothers aren't "the problem." Policies which keep single mothers dependent on the government, there's the problem.

Alas, to a liberal it's never been the Democratic Party's legacy of failing to solve society's ills (has anyone seen Camden lately?) That's always someone else's fault. Nor can they bring themselves to mention Booker's unremarkable record as mayor of Newark, where he spent most of his time enriching his cronies while the murder rate soared. Nope, the Real Problem is that Jeff Bell exposed the culture of dependency for what it is, bribery, and that makes him "anti-woman," as if he wouldn't promote economic policies that might actually result in women (and men) being better off.

Maybe they don't want a candidate who would only make their daily struggles more difficult. Harping on the gold standard, Bell's big issue, doesn't exactly strike a chord with women who can barely feed their families.

Sheesh. I'll grant you economics is hard (which is probably why all those guys at the Ledger went into journalism). But try to keep up. We're now in the sixth year of a presidency that has done nothing but make everyone's daily struggles more difficult. Obama is printing money like it's going out of style; more dollars chasing fewer goods means prices keep rising (have you heard what hamburger costs these days?); and with a regulatory climate that destroys good-paying jobs wages have remained stagnant.

Cory Booker wants to continue those policies. Because they include free birth control. Which, come to think of it isn't working, otherwise we'd have fewer single mothers.

We're now in the 51st year of the vaunted War on Poverty. Guess what? Poverty won. Einstein said the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing while expecting the result to be different. So I'll ask you, who's really going to help single mothers? The guy endorsing the same-old, same-old? Or the guy with new ideas?

Jeff Bell for U.S. Senate. Because Cory Booker (and the Star-Ledger) want to keep you poor and stupid.
