GOD! I Love This Stuff!

The conservatives are making this all too easy.  The Dems have been trying to make Rush the face of the GOP and evertime one of these guys apologizes to Rush they are just helping the Dems in ways they can not imagine.

Two days after calling Rush Limbaugh a mere “entertainer” with an “incendiary” talk show, Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele apologized and acknowledged the radio commentator as a “national conservative leader.”

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele says he has reached out to Rush Limbaugh to tell him he meant no offense when he referred to the popular conservative radio host as an “entertainer” whose show can be “incendiary.”

“My intent was not to go after Rush – I have enormous respect for Rush Limbaugh,” Steele said in a telephone interview. “I was maybe a little bit inarticulate. … There was no attempt on my part to diminish his voice or his leadership.”

Steele comments were thus:

Steele told CNN host D.L. Hughley in an interview aired Saturday night: “Rush Limbaugh is an entertainer. Rush Limbaugh — his whole thing is entertainment. He has this incendiary — yes, it’s ugly.”

And then the Rush fires back at Steele:

“Why are you running the Republican Party?” Limbaugh asked on his radio show. “Why do you claim you lead the Republican Party when you seem obsessed with seeing to it that President Obama succeeds? … I would be embarrassed to say that I’m in charge of the Republican Party in the sad-sack state that it’s in. If I were chairman of the Republican Party, given the state that it’s in, I would quit.”

This comedy of errors just keeps rolling along…snowballing as it slides down the political slope….GOD!  I love this stuff!


Tax Cuts? Tax Cuts!

Oh crap…..we are still singing that tired old song?  Repubs have been rattling this piece of crap since 2001…it promises jobs and growth and …and….and….well just about anything you want it to; but what does it really bring with it?

Not much that it promises.
What did the Bush tax cuts really bring forth?

unemployment was up

opportunity was down

poverty went up

income went down

anxiety went up

prosperity was down

And yet with all that, the Repubs just keep throwing the failed policies of the past into the fray of any stimulus plan..  Why?  That is an easy question to answer.  They have NO plan B to offer the people or to save the economy.  And yet again they keep winning elections with no plans for the future other than to cut taxes.

Why?  Another easy one to answer.  The American people are so damn gullible that they believe the tax cuts that are promised will somehow benefit them and make their lives all the much better.  HA HA HA!  Dream on fools!  It only helps those who do not need the help.  Just like the newest stim plan.  The average middle class worker will make an extra $13.oo per pay check–guess that means the vacation to Cancun is out of the question, huh?

The American people are ALWAYS foolish when they hear the word TAX CUT…that somehow they will benefit…they seldom do.  Please Stop Lying To The American People!

Do you remember the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act?  That is the recent stimulus plan that was passed by Congress with little support from the Party of “NO”, the GOP.  Why no support?  They wanted more tax relief.  But the largest part of the plan is $288 billion is for tax relief, and is not that what the Repubs kept screaming about?

They, the GOP, got their way, they got their way on tax relief but yet they still would support the bill.  Reality dictates that they would have supported the Act regardless what was put into it.  It was never about the bill but rather the positioning for the next election in 2010.

Are You Listening?

To the flap trap BS of the GOP, RNC  and conservatives…..you guys have an internal battle royale going on….right now between Steele and Rush…I guess these guys are the voice of conservatism right now…..if so then the GOP is in lots of trouble.

Steele is characterizing Rush as..an entertainer and ugly…Rush fires back and basically calls Steele a joke…..who will apologize first?  My guess is it will be Steele.

All this name calling and capitalism promotion is doing NOTHING to help the GOP to find its way that it has lost during the Bush years.  Oh yeah, they are all “fiscal conservatives”, but where was this concern on spending for the last 8 years.  These guys are not concerned with the ailing economy…they trying to set up themselves for electoral victories in 201o.

The Repubs have NO idea how to fix the economy…they just know that they cannot agree with Obama and his plan.  The only plan they can offer is a tax cuts…HAHAHA…what a plan…we had those for the last 8 years and look where we are now….a new plan needs to be found.

The GOP is not showing any leadership on the repair of the economy…they are showing that elections are more important than the lives of the people they should be representing.

GOP Has Declared War On Obama

From the very beginning of his administration, Pres. Obama has been fighting an uphill battle with the GOP.  Regardless of the make nice words from the  minority whips and leaders of both houses of congress, it is evident that it will be nothing but confrontation after confrontation.  The Repubs have said it clearly that they want the president to succeed and that they are looking forward to working with him, but so far they have shown nothing but contempt for him and his attempts to try and use a bipartisan approach.

The cowards will not admit that they want Obama to fail and that they are willing to have him do so at the expense of the nation’s economy.  The GOP and its talk show pundits are willing to have Americans lose jobs and homes and meals all in the name of partisan politics with the hopes that a presidential failure will return them to power in Congress.

Nothing is more important to the GOP than their position of power.  And NOTHING will get in their way of their return to power, including the American people and their livelihood.  The economy is being used as a weapon of mass destruction against the Dems and most importantly against Obama.  They, the GOP, has no plan, other than their tired old tactics of the past, tax cuts, to offer the people, so they will attack everything tried by the new president in the hopes that something negative will stick.  Even to go so far as to use a fictitious CBO report to make their case–in other words they will LIE to get their attack on.

But Wait!  Did I call the Repubs cowards?  Yes I did!  And I will bet you would like me to justify that accussation…..alrighty then….The GOP is putting political party and the grab for power over the well-being of the economy and country…that is a cowardly thing to do.  There is a time and a place for such a political war and now is neither the time or the place.

The GOP Alernative For Stimulus

House GOP Leader John Boehner on plans for an economic stimulus and working with Barack Obama to craft such a plan:

“Republicans stand ready to work with President-elect Obama and our Democratic counterparts in Congress to enact an economic recovery bill that focuses on tax relief for working families and small businesses, rather than increased spending on government programs and higher taxes. House Republicans have put forth a plan that would do what Americans are asking Washington to do on the economy. President-elect Obama has expressed a desire to govern from the center. In that spirit, I’m hopeful he will give our plan his full consideration as he assembles his economic team – not for our sake, but for the sake of the American people, who are struggling in this economy.”

That is the alternative—it has been the alternative for decades.  It does not necessarily prove to be accurate–but the Repubs keep harping and pushing a tired, lame ass tactic.  We have had 8 years of tax cuts and it did NOTHING to stop the economic meltdown we are experiencing at this time.  But it will now somehow miraculously save the economy.

The only answer I have to his pile of steaming bovine fecal matter is a quote from John Stuart Mills, “I am not saying conservatives are stupid, but most stupid people are conservative”.

What Will They Do?

To begin with, my father is a screaming racist and a conservative and Republican since 1964 when Goldwater was the man.  In the last election he believed all the emails that he got from his mindless dipshit friends….but Obam being a secret Muslim or a non citizen or going to paint the White House black…..if it was a scare tactic, he got it and believed it.

Of course me being the radical independent that I am he would try to rattle my cage as often as possible by repeating some of the more outrageous claims.  And then McCain was a hero in his eyes because he had been in the military, that was his only qualification and then there was Palin, the wick witch of the North, he liked her for some reason…I do not think he knew why other than she was a Repub.

It was a black day (pun intended) when Obama got elected.  He pissed and moaned about it for days.  Like I have said he liked rattling my cage every chance he got about Obama so I felt like I had to do the same for him….after all I try to be a good son.

Recently the RNC elected Steele to lead them into the future….though he does not have a plan other than to copy Obama’s internet strategy…he will lead them into the future…with the same tired positions they have regurgitating for years.  All that aside, I thought I would rub a little salt in his wound….so I ask what he would do now that we had a black pres and his party, the GOP, was lead by a black dude?

I gave him time for reflection after all he is 88 years old.

He thought for awhile and point at me and said, “go f*ck yourself”.  All in all a good day.
