Maybe that\u2019s why so many Democrats have decided to dress up as moderates. <\/p>\n<p>Haunted by their radical records, Democrats are trying to trick voters into thinking they\u2019re not the left-wing partisans their records suggest. But these Democrats are as extreme as they come, and that\u2019s not going to change after an election. Only Republicans can deliver an alternative to the status quo.<\/p>\n<p>Just look at Arizona Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly. He\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/biden-congress-votes\/mark-kelly\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voted with Joe Biden 94%<\/a> of the time. His record includes ignoring the border crisis and refusing to fund <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/09\/29\/blake-masters-mark-kelly-voted-for-50-billion-in-ukraine-aid-not-border-wall\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">additional Border Patrol agents<\/a>. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.senate.gov\/legislative\/LIS\/roll_call_votes\/vote1171\/vote_117_1_00110.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">voted for Biden\u2019s $1.9 trillion<\/a> \u201cstimulus\u201d that sent inflation soaring to its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/charts\/consumer-price-index\/consumer-price-index-by-category-line-chart.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highest level in 40 years<\/a>. And he\u2019s supported Biden\u2019s war on American energy. As a result, <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/?state=AZ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Phoenix gas prices<\/a> are $1.90 higher than when Biden took office. Arizona families are struggling with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/09\/17\/us-cities-with-highest-inflation-rates.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">worst<\/a> inflation in the country. And the state is on the frontlines of an historic border crisis and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AliBradleyTV\/status\/1567547057032036358?s=20&#038;t=3ctXicVI_sJtEMaEydbMiA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fentanyl epidemic<\/a>. None of this is moderate, but Kelly is hoping voters will forget that by Election Day.<\/p>\n<p>In Ohio, Democrat Senate nominee Tim Ryan is trying to pass for a moderate. He pretends to be concerned about families struggling with inflation but voted for <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DonaldJTrumpJr\/status\/1582150044093775872?s=20&#038;t=HUJPhdMQEm_YlzIVe1nMcA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Biden\u2019s inflation-fueling legislation<\/a>, voted to hike taxes\u00a0by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nrsc.org\/press-releases\/tim-ryan-has-voted-for-at-least-6-74-trillion-in-higher-taxes-2022-08-18\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">6.7 trillion over his career<\/a>, and is sending 87,000 IRS agents to audit the middle class.

And while Ryan claims to stay out of culture wars, he\u2019s on record telling radical activists they can \u201ccount on\u201d him to champion <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/you-can-count-on-me-video-shows-tim-ryan-admitting-hes-avoiding-his-progressive-stances-on-culture-wars\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">far-left social causes<\/a> in the Senate. That shouldn\u2019t surprise us, though. Ryan has voted with Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/biden-congress-votes\/tim-ryan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">100% of the time<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s Pennsylvania\u2019s John Fetterman, the costume king. With his oversized Carhartt hoodie and basketball shorts, he\u2019s clearly trying to portray himself as a tough, working-class everyman. In reality, the Democrat Senate nominee is an \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/john-fetterman-calls-fracking-stain-pennsylvania-laments-own-privileged-life-old-reddit-posts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">incredibly privileged\u2019<\/a>\u00a0leftist whose \u2018main source of income\u2019 well into adulthood was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inquirer.com\/politics\/election\/republicans-target-john-fetterman-blue-collar-image-20220803.html\">an allowance from his parents<\/a>. His radical record is even scarier. He\u2019s campaigned on bringing <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NRSC\/status\/1544795028962398214?s=20&#038;t=9j1BsoBWDOwkFtsiGO2OJw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bernie Sanders\u2019 far-left agenda<\/a> to Pennsylvania. He doesn\u2019t believe in any abortion restrictions. Under the administration Fetterman is a part of as lieutenant governor, the Pennsylvania Department of Education suggests \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/pennsylvania-dept-education-website-lists-gender-neutral-pronouns-ze-xe-students\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">gender neutral pronouns<\/a>\u201d for students and includes a lesson guide for \u201cgender-neutral day\u201d beginning in third grade. He\u2019s declared war on Pennsylvania\u2019s fracking industry, calling it a \u201cstain\u201d on the state and demanded a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/john-fetterman-signed-pledge-ban-fracking-supports-tens-thousands-pa-jobs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fracking ban<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1553432844306972674?s=20&#038;t=33q_eMJim9_aYP1NPZtglQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on multiple occasions<\/a> a fracking ban on multiple occasions.

Fetterman has even voted to release five brutal first-degree murderers. And as recently as last year, he admitted that he wants to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RNCResearch\/status\/1577493742465982466\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free every second-degree murderer<\/a>\u00a0in Pennsylvania prisons. With crime rates soaring in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, Fetterman\u2019s soft-on-crime record couldn\u2019t be more tone deaf.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to see what\u2019s going on here. Democrats\u2019 ship is sinking. A stunning\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/10\/19\/whopping-93-of-voters-concerned-with-inflation-poll\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">93% of voters<\/a> rank inflation at the top of their concerns, with crime close behind. Republicans lead Democrats in the generic ballot thanks to great candidates like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/politico-election-forecaster-shifts-az-senate-to-toss-up-after-late-blake-masters-rally\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blake Masters<\/a> in Arizona, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/j-d-vance-takes-lead-in-ohio-senate-race-after-debates-poll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">J.D.

Americans are hungry for new leadership and desperate for relief from Democrat disasters.<\/p>\n<p>And Democrats know it, which is why they\u2019re trying to portray themselves as moderates. They know their radical records are their worst enemies. But don\u2019t fall for it. Democrats haven\u2019t seen the light and rejected their radical policies. They\u2019ve simply put on a costume.
