More proof that the Democrats are totally out of ideas. Well, good ideas, anyway.



With hypocrisy so thick you could cut it with a knife, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission against the promotion of the “Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders” book by Reps. Eric Cantor of Virginia, Kevin McCarthy of California and Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. In addition to the book they have a promotion tour and a video.



The DCCC’s argument is that promoting the book violates election law. That’s right , folks. According to the Democrats a publisher cannot promote a book if it is political. Pathetic!



Which prompted this statement:



“After a year of failing to get Americans back to work, with a president embarrassingly off message, and with candidates hemorrhaging in the polls, it’s no wonder the DCCC is hyperventilating,” said Brad Dayspring, Cantor’s spokesman.



As Soren Dayton at Redstate points out -



Restating, Democrats use the power of the federal government to attempt to prohibit the political speech and promotion of speech by their political enemies. That’s the kind of thing that lead to the American Revolution. Tea Parties make perfect sense in this context.



I couldn’t agree more.
