THE MEDIA

I heard today that Anthony Weiner (D.NY.) is resigning today because of his penchant for sending racy pictures on twitter. Who cares? The media does, that is all I have been hearing or reading. Other than the double standard that seems to be in effect in the media about whose sex scandal deserves major play. Why are they focusing on this story in the wake of all the other things going on?
You have an all-out attack on the middle class going on in this country. We have corporations running just about everything. The Republicans are in the pocket of these corporations, and the media ignores it. We have Glenn Beck pointing at a picture of President Obama and asking why do you need a gun. This is crazy. I have heard the defense of Mr. Beck. He is just crazy like a fox. He really means that the Democrats want to take away your guns. I have challenged people to show me the evidence on that. Of course I have never had any shown to me.
You have a major government shut down looming, you have people in congress trying to roll back regulations for the environment, tobacco, child labor laws, and just about anything they can think of to support their corporate bosses. The scary part is that a lot of people in this country are buying into this stuff. There was an article a few weeks ago about letting the Republicans have what they want the list was amazing.This is the article.

All the issues that are the core of their conservative beliefs into reality, and make them the law of the land. Let conservatives who "want My America back" have it. And finally the nation will get to see the reality of Ronald Reagan's "Shining City on the Hill ™."
Give the Republican Party everything it wants.

All of this.
All of it.
And so much more. That's just the first 100 days.
No cherry-picking only the issues you like. That's the conservative agenda. That's their Shining City on the Hill ™.
That's your America.
The Republican Party's American Dream.
Consider it.
This isn't about single issues. This is about who the Republican Party is.
The Republican Party has long been able to flimflam the American public to vote against its self-interest because Democrats have always blocked enough of the GOP's worst far-right instincts. But if you want to see who the Republican Party truly is, then give them all of this, give them everything they want. In four years, the nation will feel so demeaned, the GOP will cease to exist.
And if Republicans try to flim-flam you by saying the same about Democrats, remember the truth: when Franklin Roosevelt had everything his way, the American public elected him four times.
Be careful what you wish for, you might get it.
