RIGHT-TO-WORK SHAM

Michigan Republicans are making the state a right-to-work state.  That means that if you go to work at a place that has a union you can work there without joining the union, and don’t have to pay dues.  What’s wrong with this you may ask? One reason Republicans want this is to defund unions to the best of their ability.  Unions are one of the last organizations that compete with the business community at election time.  They would also like to see wages fall so business can pocket a little more money.  To hell with their employee’s.  The thing that bothers me most though is the people who choose not to join and pay dues still get the benefits and protection of the union. It is the reverse of taxation without representation.  Republicans try and say it will help their state’s economy.  All you have to do is check out the right-to-work states, and you will find that most of them are at the bottom of the economic ladder in this country.

DEMOCRATIC OPTIONS

Ever since the election ended you’ve been hearing from the democratic talking heads on how the Republican Party has to reach out to different constituents to expand their voter base.  My question is who the hell cares what the Republican’s do or don’t do?  The Democrat’s should be trying to figure out how to connect to more white working class males. The Democratic polices should appeal to the working class. The Dem’s have to figure out how to get their message through.  The Democrat’s have to take on the NRA.  The NRA’s argument against Democrat’s is a lie. The Democrat’s haven’t tried to push through any gun-control legislation that would affect the second amendment. It’s time to face these bozo’s down.  In the uproar in Wisconsin last year about union rights the National Democratic Party was nowhere to be found including President Obama.  They should have been in the forefront of the fight.  The Democrat’s can’t be complacent, they have to be proactive and be a little less compromising and stand up for the working class in this country.

THE BLAME GAME

Now that the election has been over for a few days, the right wing blame game is in full throttle.  Of course it was Romney’s fault, he wasn’t conservative enough. Never mind the fact the GOP electorate chose him, and forgetting the fact he really didn’t have a plan for anything, and in my opinion wasn’t a very truthful person.  Who do they think would have done better, Santorum or Gingrich? Don’t make me laugh. Romney and his advisors were pathetic.  They said stupid things and the next day said stupider things.  People like Dick Morris and Karl Rove the Fox propaganda station said the polls were wrong except for theirs. Guess what?  The polls were exactly right, and theirs was wrong. I guess they want to blame the storm for their downfall too.  Oh, I forgot it must be Gov. Christie’s fault too.  The President was doing his job and Christie was trying to help his state and his people, reprehensible according to the right-wing loons.   If President Obama hadn’t been sleep walking in the first debate this would have been a bigger blow out that it was.   If the GOP doesn’t stop listening to the Limbaugh’s and the Fox propaganda machine they are never going to win much of anything.  Good people with good ideas should matter more that agendas. 

UNTRUTHFUL ROMNEY

I keep coming back to my main issue with Mitt Romney. He is not an honest person.  He tells lies constantly.  Let’s take the last one.  Chrysler is going to ship their jeep production to China.  Of course it’s not true, but that doesn’t stop Romney and his crowd from repeating it over and over.   The Chrysler chairman comes out and says it’s not true.  Doesn’t do any good Romney still repeats it. Romney is not honest.  If you have noticed Romney has not answered any questions from the press in 3 weeks.  I’ve come to the conclusion that he is really not his own man.  He is totally bought and paid for by big business and the billionaires. We can’t have a President who will say and do anything no matter if it’s true or not.

JOHN MCCAIN'S ANGER

Does anyone else think Sen. John McCain is suffering from the onset of mental illness?   I realize that several of the GOP are nuts, but McCain at one time was considered a statesman.  I noticed that when he ran for President he started going off the track.  I wonder if the pressure of running for President got to him, all you have to do is listen to him. He has so much anger in him directed at President Obama. 

EXTORTION

Land of the Free Home of the Brave only applies to the Republican nut jobs that are currently running for office.  Their calling for employers to tell their employees to vote for Romney.  If you are working at a factory or any place that an owner or boss can threaten you with downsizing if you don’t vote the way you want is extortion or blackmail or anything else you want to call it.  It is a sign of desperation on some of these losers part.  Can you imagine if Democrat’s were doing something like that? Republicans that would condone something like that should be run out of their districts on a rail.

POST VICE-PRESIDENT DEBATE

The thing about the debate was that Mr. Ryan didn't have answers for how he would implement his programs.  He said that they would work with congress and figure it out later.  Trust him is their motto.   President Reagan used to say trust but verify.  I think that is important here because these two Republicans are not giving anyone answers, and from the things they have said in the past they can't  be trusted on anything.

One side light from last night.  A women was being interviewed from the crowd.  She said President Obama wasn't American.  The man asked her if she didn't think Obama was born here. She said yes but he's a communist.  He asked to clarify that, all she said was check it out.  Typical Republican nut job. Throw things out and have no prove to back them up.
