The further Democrats fall behind in the upcoming elections, the more strident and nutty their rhetoric becomes.
They have always based their words, not on what is true, but on what they think they can persuade someone to believe even when they know it's not so.
But when people's belief in their speeches starts slipping away, as it has for the last several years, their response is predictable: Make the things they are saying, more ominous- and draconian-sounding. This also moves them farther from reality, but they are so used to that they apparently forget that their audience is not as likely to believe them any more.
Sometimes the results can be hilarious... such as this example.

Pay for abortion, or women 'die on the floor'

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., was essentially stripped of any formal input into the legislative process in last November's election. I heave a sigh of relief over this fact every time I see her say something like this:

She's talking about a bill that simply protects taxpayers from having to subsidize abortions through Obamacare. This is about just how out-of-touch progressives are on social issues. If you fail to show sufficient enthusiasm for paying to kill someone else's baby, it is a sign that you're heartless.
