It’s Almost A Berg’s Law

Whenever a Democrat campaign ad features a “lifelong Republican” who has, mirabile dictu, changed affiliation over whatever the issue du jour is, my first reflex is to reply “no, they most likely are not”.

Angie Craig seems to have a particular facility for finding these miraculous “Lifelong Republicans” who nonetheless agree with her completely on one divisive issue or another – like this self-termed “NRA Sharpshooter” (who trashed all of the rules of gun-handling, on camera, in the on-air ad Angie Craig ran in 2020) who agreed, as luck would have it, with Craig and Michael Bloomberg on every point of their gun control agenda (which made sense, given that he’d been a gun control activist for quite a while).

So when a “lifelong Republican” – and biker, no less! – popped up on a Craig ad to talk about how Craig was singlehandedly making insulin affordable, I thought “there is just no way”.

And I was right. It’s a lie.

“When Dave [Vesledahl] called me to share his story, I promised him that I would continue to do everything in my power to lower prescription drug costs for Minnesotans,” Craig said in a statement. “Everyone deserves access to high-quality, affordable health care—and I’ll be fighting back against the pharmaceutical companies every step of the way.”

But Vesledahl no longer lives in Craig’s district since Minnesota redrew its congressional map this year. He lives in Nerstrand, Minn., which is located in the state’s First Congressional District. Vesledahl’s claim that he’s a “lifelong Republican” is also contradicted by the fact that he voted in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary, according to voter files obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

But thats OK – he identifies as a former Republican:

“Dave describes himself as a lifelong Republican, and his voter file registers him as a ‘Lean Republican,’ Craig’s spokeswoman told the Free Beacon.

And I’m a “former Democrat”. When I was young and impressionable and not very bright and, let’s be honest, the perfect Democrat voter.

  1. saw a billboard on hwy 52 democrats are the real pro life party because they support daycare and two other things i could not read went by too fast anybody else see it what were the other things

    seems democrats believe taking money from people who were not aborted to give to other people who were not aborted is pro life

    i oppose welfare so that makes me what pro death

    wonder if they sell pro death halloween costumes i should get one

  2. I have been trying to find out just how many of her former colleagues at St. Jude Medical Abbott Labs, are still donating serious cash to the 3 female stooges who claim that they are fighting big pharma? If they indeed were pushing back against BIg Pharma, why did they help them make millions in profits by pushing the WuFlu juice, that their execs and certain CDC droogs now admit is worthless against the virus, but is causing other health problems and death, while giving them full immunity from liability?
    Does anyone else find it funny that cancer research has been ongoing for about 100 years and AIDS research has been going for 40, with no cure, yet, four different drug pushers developed a WuFlu vaccine in less than a year?

  3. I got a call from an Angie Craig push-poller last night. She was very disappointed she couldn’t change my mind. LOL

  4. For me, “people on my side are voting for the other guy” doesn’t weigh nearly as much as “Angie Craig supports taxpayer funded abortion clinics and gun confiscation.” Not quite sure why more voters don’t see through this.

    Side note; regarding cancer cures, let’s remember that there almost infinite ways that your DNA can betray you, so there is no such thing as a cancer cure. Regarding COVID, the vaccines targeted one typical feature of the virus and worked….well, we think they did, for a while. So I don’t think it’s quite as much a dichotomy as we’d think.

    Actually, it didn’t work. If it did, people who caved into the hype and got three or four jabs, wouldn’t have been infected. There is too much data now that acknowledges what those of us that “don’t care about others”, suspected; natural immunity actually worked. I know eight people in the vulnerable age group, some with ailments, that got WuFlu, shook it and haven’t been re-infected.

    It never occurred to them that with tens of millions of people infected and infecting others, the virus would evolve around the vaccine. They just never thought of it.

    Just like CDC third stringer Rochelle Wolinsky, I learned about the effectiveness of the WuFlu death jab on CNN.

  8. Bikebubble was a lifelong Republican, but now he caucuses with mentally deficient, pathologically lying leftist rodents.
