What Is That Sucking Sound?

Dunno?  It is coming out of Washington.  Want some help?  It is the GOP!

The Republicans in Congress are irrelevant — either because, in the smallest number, they go along with the Democrats, or because they just say no and lose. Either way, they’re part of the problem and not a place to find an answer. Lately, most of the Republican talking heads I see are so busy trying to figure out whether Rush Limbaugh is or is not their leader that they lose any claim to being leaders themselves.

Not one of the Repubs have anything to offer as an alternative to the Dem agenda.  All I have seen and heard are from memos sent out with their daily talking points and they all stick to them like good little puppies.  My fav is their new talking point that the recession be renamed the “Pelosi Recession”.

The conservative Dems are doing a better job at opposing the prez than the GOP.  But beyond that, where were the concerns with spending when GW was throwing money away like a drunken sailor in Sinapore?  They are just , as usual, playing politics.  They have NOTHING to offer the people as an alternative to the economic situation the country is facing.  The best they can do is to just say NO to everything Democratic.

If Washington is a circus, then GOP the Clown is the main attraction, for now.

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.

So Much Laughable BS!

Gov. Bobby Jindal said Tuesday he had concerns about the economic stimulus package moving through Congress and wasn’t sure if Louisiana would accept all of the money that could be available from the plan.

“We’re going to look at each program, at each dollar, to see what strings are attached before we decide whether it makes sense for Louisiana to use those dollars or not,” Jindal said.

Haley Barbour of Mississippi has made similar statements….these yo-yos are just political hacks trying to look more than they really are.  Push comes to shove these dicks are gonna take the money….I say if there is an outside chance they will not then send their share to Michigan, they need all the help they can get.

All these bozos are trying to do is secure themselves a place in a dying party.  Simple theatrics is all they are about for they have no plans to meet their state fiscal shortfalls.  They will cave and ask for the cash.  If not then these guys are more stupid than I ever considered.

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.

How 2 Build An Economy-Warning

WARNING!  This post may contain offensive language.  Read at your own risk!  You have been warned!

Hey morons!  This is not rocket science!  You dipsticks in Washington keep playing the same damn stupid game year after year.  And what have you really fucking accomplished?

Not a goddamn thing!

If you dipshits really wanted to build an economy you would not listen to the asshole Geithner.  Recently he talked and talked and said nothing, which is pretty much staus quo from Washington.  He gave NO specifics he did however give us a vague outline of things to come…..and those things are to help out those damn greedy assholes in the banking industry…nothing new there…I think that was pretty much expected when you hire a guy from the banking industry…YA THINK!

Shall I break it down for you MORONS?  If demand cannot be created–no amount of tax cuts or bank handouts will help.

Liquidity is NOT the answer!  The old tired mantra of Repybs and their goddamn stupid supply side economics will not do it.  Supply siders put way too much faith in tax cuts to increase investment.  That is not always the case, just look at the last 8 years of tax cuts.  What have we gained from those?

Want it simpler, dipstick?

If consumers are not buying, an increase in investment will not happen.  Business will hire when demand dictates it.  no hiring–no buying–no investment–no growth.  Silly people!  The Laffer Curve has been a conservative religion for decades–too bad it is a false god, the morons  they worship.

Try to keep up…I know it is difficult with your head up your ass….but give it a try.

There is a three word answer to building an economy when all is tanking rapidly….DEMAND…DEMAND…DEMAND.

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”.

How About A Gag Order?—-Warning

Warning:  This post may contain subject matter that some may find offensive.  Read at your own risk.

Enough Assholes enough!

From now on both parties in the economic debate need to shut the fuck up!  The stimulus plan has not divided the country–it is the media and paritsan politics.  A gag order is seriously needed.

I will say that most, but not all, of the media is trying to give bot5h sides of the debate.  Unfortunbately too many host are partisan and get a lot my air time than those who support the bill.  The problem is that they do not present the news in away that would help the viewers understand what is going on with the bill.  And some keep using the “I won” statement is just plain silly.  It is hearsay or it would be posted on line by now.  It is one of the main tools being used to divide the country.  The economy is a  trainwreck–we do not need more observers we need lots more EMS.

The division of the country is doing NO good–nothing is being accomplished, but some goddamn political game–The Dems as well as the Repubs are playing this moronic game of political tennis.  They stuck a bunch of crap from the last 8 years into this bill–that is called partisanship.  Incase you were wondering.

This game has got to stop if the economy is to ever get rolling again.    Change has not come to Washington.  It is the same shit, different adminstration—guess what?  That is called partisanship!

Here is a piece of goddamn bi-partisanship–stop paying these assholes until they cease the political bullshit and work to solve the country’s problems.  Here is anmother piece for the dipshits!  Take all the spending parts out of the 675 pages, the parts that actually stimulate the economy, and pass them as a seperate bill.  Then they can go back to playing the stupid little mindless bullshit we pay them for.

A GAG ORDER!  Is the only answer.  Or this slimy crap will continue ad nauseum!
