DNC Labels Some Democratic Candidates as "Crazy"

The Republican National Committee (RNC) released a new web video today that puts a spotlight on Democrat candidates who are going out of their way to run away from President Obama and his unpopular policies. The title of the video "Crazy" come from a quote by Democratic national Committee Charmain Tim Kaine, “Democrats who kinda are afraid to be who they are or who are pushing back on their leaders – I think they are crazy.”
The video is both True and Funny. [Video]

“With unemployment hovering around double-digits and a majority of Americans unhappy with the direction of the country, it is not a surprise endangered Democrats do not want President Obama to come to their districts and remind voters of their failed economic policies. Democrat candidates continue to work overtime to distance themselves from the Obama agenda but there is nothing they can do to hide from the spending, tax hikes and government takeovers that have stood in the way of economic recovery. So long as the President continues to ask Democrats to ignore the concerns of voters and help ram through his liberal agenda, he can expect the campaign trail to be quite a lonely place.”

CBS Chip Reid has commented, "“With the President’s approval rating at an all-time low, a lot of Democrats don’t want him anywhere near their districts.” Fox News Steve Doocy reported, “Not only are some Democrats running away from their leaders, but also they’re afraid to mention to the electorate ‘Oh yeah, I’m a Democrat’”
