GOP FOLLIES

Have you ever seen a more outrageous spectacle than the GOP?  First you had the embarrassment of Rand Paul trying to intimidate Hillary Clinton, and then you had Ted Nugent at the State of The Union speech, Marco Rubio’s laughable speech, and the filibuster of Hagel for Secretary of Defense.  These people do not care about this country they are in some cases nuts and in others  trying to protect big business, and still others like John McCain, and Lindsay Graham that were once important people and now are just angry  people who have no place else to go and still want to think they matter.

GOP EMBARRASSED AGAIN

During Hillary Clinton’s testimony on Wednesday about Benghazi the GOP embarrassed themselves especially the Sen. from Kentucky Rand Paul.  The President has proposed mental health checks for gun buyers; I would suggest that Mr. Paul and some of his colleagues be examined. There is no way they could pass a mental health test.

NO SHAME

Republicans have this way of making up stories to fit any crazy conspiracy theory or political point they are trying to make, as evidenced with the attack on Hillary Clinton.  She must be faking an illness so she doesn’t have testify about the Benghazi debacle.  Clinton fell and hit her head which resulted in a concussion, now the doctors have found a blood clot in her head.  The Republicans said she made all this up.  If anyone thinks Hillary Clinton is afraid of these small minded and closed mined people they are crazier than I thought.   The other thing just happened. The house failed to bring up the relief bill for the folks hurt by Superstorm Sandy.  One of the Republican stooges on Fox News said it was Obama’s fault that it wasn’t brought up.  Even my dog knows this is crazy, too bad the people who listen to these whackos don’t know that.

GUN CRAZY

Since the tragedy in Connecticut you have been hearing about how teachers should be armed.   These people have no sense.  Think about some of the videos you have seen where police stop someone for a traffic violation.  When occasionally a weapon is drawn and shots are fired, how many times do you see anyone hit?  These police are trained in weapons and are supposed to be the best.  All those misses that occur would more than likely kill innocent by-standers and very possible end up with the shooter having an extra weapon.   These people w ho want to arm everyone are flat out crazy.

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.
