Middle America, the true silent majority, is getting ready to speak

I have one question to all the Republicans and tea party members in Fresno County!

So for eight years we have heard nothing but deficit killing us, and it’s all President Obama’s fault. Now it seems, it is OK to increase the deficit and it’s a good idea?

How so, what now? Character and integrity means nothing to them, does it?

Now, if the Democratic Party leadership moves to the left and reforms the party to meet the Bernie Sanders campaign desires for primary reforms, they will lose me, I quit!

Stephen Cloobeck of Las Vegas, a large Democratic donor, agrees with this, and I agree with him.

Remember the more of us who are pushed to the independent roles, the bigger their chance of losing. They should wake up and do what is right or lose again and again!

Sanders is not a Democrat; he registered as an Independent again, he has no say in the party any longer. He and his followers can go away, along with the extreme right!

The true silent majority is getting ready to speak. It is not progressive or tea party, it is the mass of America the middle!

And speak loudly it will!
