Ed Rollins is a Republican Strategist. He was the White House political director for President Ronald Reagan and chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee. He also knows how to play politics. Ed wrote an article entitled Democrats, don’t insult the voters.

     I have to hand it to him. He was able to pull key points out of a few speeches and write a very convening article. In an interview with Rolling Stone, President Obama said, "People need to shake off this lethargy. People need to buck up”. Senator John Kerry just about called all Democratic voters stupid. This shows that The Democrats need to make sure they do not open their mouths and insert their feet.

     Now at face value I see Ed offering sound advice to the Democratic leadership. I see him offering his years of experience in the political ring to a troubled Party. What a wonderful person. Considering he is a Republican, wait a minute. Do you think that he is trying to point out flaws and faults?

     Why would he be addressing the Democratic voters? Why would he be telling them that the Republicans are charged and energized and the Democratic Party is not? Would it be to discourage Democratic voters from turning out?

     There is an election in little over a month. There are several key races that might cause the Democrats to lose control of the House. If this article could convince enough people that their vote really didn’t matter, that might be enough to tip the scale in The Republican’s favor.

     I have stated in the past that there was not a clear message from the Democrats. This article does reinforce this fact. Slogans like “Don’t give them the keys back” do sound a little better than “Stop Whining”. Don’t listen to Ed Rollins though, I feel like both sides of the aisle are both very charged with the current political environment. I am look forward to seeing how everything turns out on November 4th.
