Well…haven’t been feeling too well today so I am getting to this one a little late…but, it is something that I just needed to comment on…that is that Ted Cruz is just nuts…how else do you explain what happened In NH the other day? When asked what he would do about climate change if he is elected, his answer was “nothing”…and then he launched into an 8 minute screed about how climate change is a conspiracy by liberals to expand the government and take away our “freedoms”….now, when I was young and the politics on the right were not so insane, this kind of nonsense would have gotten ole Ted laughed out of the room and the guys in the white coats would have come running with the straightjacket. But, these days, this delusional behavior is a requirement to get their delusional base to vote for them…..if you could see me, you would see me shaking my head with a dejected, resigned look…something like weariness that our country has come to this…geez…

Marco Rubio is a robot…
Well….didn’t watch the repub debate last night since they are all the same as I’ve said before….but, there was one theme that came through in all of the commentary…and it made me laugh…Marco Rubio is a robot that had a glitch in his programming…in one three minute span, he gave the same canned answer three times…and the answers had nothing to do with the questions….to me, this shows just how unqualified this idiot is to be president…if he can’t think on his feet and formulate new answers to questions, how would he handle the uncertainty that comes with the job? Is he going to ask Putin to submit his challenges in advance so his people will have time to drill the answers into him? This is one of the problems that I see with politics these days…no one on the right has the intellect to take in new information and synthesize new answers without first running it by their pollsters to see if it will hurt them if they say it…even if it is the truth. After last night, I can’t see how anyone would think the empty suit Rubio is qualified to do anything other than managing a Mc Donald’s….and he would have to have his “people” help him with that…..geez….
Here comes ole GW….
Well….as you know ole JEB!’s campaign has been floundering with a 6th place finish in Iowa that cost him almost $3,000 per vote given the huge sums of money he spent there…and now, his solution to his moribund campaign? Roll out ole GW (aka the smart one) to campaign for him in south Carolina since the voters there “still think kindly” of him….now, who would roll out a war criminal, worst president in modern history to try to help his campaign? I think this just shows how insulated and delusional the folks in the Bush camp are….they still think GW was a good president, that he didn’t authorize torture, that he and his cronies didn’t crash the economy that we are still digging out from. I welcome ole GW coming out to remind everyone that he was not elected to his first term…that he was installed by the right wingers on the supreme court and then it went downhill from there…what’s next? Bring out Cheney? Just tell him to leave the shotgun at home…or maybe JEB! could get some sympathy if Cheney shot him in the face….I wish I was a comedian, it would just be so easy to write the jokes about this debacle…geez…
Now we need the EPA?
Well…as you know, there has been a huge crisis in Flint where or governor’s man allowed the city to be poisoned with lead to save a few hundred dollars a week, and now the blame shifting has started where all of the repubs that were (and still are in charge) are trying to shift the blame to the EPA saying that they didn’t do enough to prevent the problem…and not enough oversight so the water would be safe. Now, I sure hope you see the irony in this coming from the repubs…the same repubs who have spent the years since the clean water act was passed trying to gut the EPA and filing suit after suit in the courts to prevent them from ensuring that the water in this country is clean. So now, when the model that the repubs want, state control of the cleanliness of water fails, they cry and cry that it’s the EPA’s fault. I am tired of the hypocrites on the right gutting government and the programs that we need to have a safe environment to give tax cuts to the rich and then jumping up and saying “see, government doesn’t work”…..it would work if they did their damn jobs for a change instead of attacking the poor and unions…I’ve had enough of the party of “no responsibility”….geez….
It’s a tie in Iowa….
Well…not sure if you have been following the causcases in Iowa, but I’m pretty sure you’re as tired of it as I am…the cool result was that Bernie and Hillary basically tied with only two tenths of a point separating them and the policy that they stressed was what the dems wanted to hear…not like the right who are filled with crap and personal attacks that I am just tired of. I probably should mention that Ted Cruz won on the repub side with Trump being the first loser as he calls it and Rubio coming in third that he has been touting all day as a win…the delusion runs deep in this one. the one thing I want my side to remember is to not go overboard on that support…that when or if your candidate loses, we have to remember to support the other candidate on our side….to sit out to just spite the chosen candidate will hand the presidency to the repubs…and I’m not sure that damage will ever be repaired…look how long it took Obama to fix the mess left by ole GW…geez…
Snyder is such a whiner….
Well…I am just shaking my head at this latest thing from ole Snyder…our wonderful governor here in Michigan. He went on the radio a few days back to whine, whine, whine that he is being heckled in public when he goes out to eat….let that sink in for a minute….this guy who, along with his cronies, poisoned an entire Michigan city and now he is whining that he is the victim here…not the people of Flint or the rest of us who are going to be stuck with the tab for the repairs, but him. How typical is that of the repubs across the country? They screw up completely, causing untold damage to the country and then when they get called on it they whine and play the victim….hey Snyder, how about you do something about the water in Flint instead of just whining and studying it….how much more tone deaf can one person get? I guess we’ll see…..geez…
Okay…this one is filler…
Well….yeah, the title says it all…just don’t have a topic for today so this one is just going to be filler…there was one thing about ole Ted Cruz….he has vowed that he will appoint “conservative” judges to the supreme court who will then outlaw gay marriage…yeah, Ted…you are never going to be elected so that’s not going to be a problem…and the 14th amendment doesn’t change just because you want it to….another time where the repubs are shown to be the huge hypocrites they are….real law and order until they don’t get what they want and then the court ruling is “unlawful”….what the hell law school do you go to? I’m sure they taught you what the constitution means…and yet you go on and on how illegitimate it is….what a poor excuse for a human being this guy is…hmmmm…might have to change the title…nope…I think I’ll just leave it…I did make the goal for the month so I guess that’s something….
It gets worse in Flint
Well…as you should know by now, the state of Michigan and our wonderful governor (snark) poisoned the people of Flint for almost two years constantly saying that the water there was safe to drink when they knew it wasn’t…and another piece of the proof puzzle fell into place the other day when it was revealed that in January of 2015 the state offices in Flint started supplying bottled water to the employees there since they were concerned that the water was bad….something they didn’t do for the citizens of Flint until almost a year later…yep, they didn’t want their employees to be poisoned but it was just fine to poison the residents. This kind of crap happens every time there is a repub in charge…and in this case, an un-elected emergency manager who made the decision to change the water supply not to save money but I think to reward ole Snyder’s cronies that are getting sweetheart deals to build the new water system…what better way to make the new system necessary but to ruin the old one? What a bunch of crap…and typical repub crap…geez…
Okay…not sure if I want to attribute that much intelligence to those idiots…callousness, yes, but I don’t think they are that bright….
Trump skipping the debate…
Well…as you know, I have been loathe to write about old Donald…okay, I have done a few about him but this latest controversy of him skipping tonight’s debate deserved a few words from someone…and an idea that I haven’t heard in any of the news stories take on yet. To start, I find it funny that ole Donald is in a fight with Fox news who have been all Donald, all the time…but I think I also understand why he would skip the debate…after all, what would it get him to be there? He is ahead everywhere in all of the polls from the repub side and there is only downside to him being there…it could only hurt him in the polls if any of his opponents landed any punches so I guess it’s pretty smart to skip it…he is getting more press by skipping it and he just doesn’t care what anyone thinks so this appears to be logical…not that I would attribute logic to this idiot…but, this one time, it appears he has stumbled on some by accident….still going to be fun to watch….geez….
Ted Cruz is a liar…
Well…if you remember a couple of days back, I did a post here about ole Ted’s saying that he lost his health insurance due to Obamacare and the insurance company he was using getting out of the business because…Obmacare…and his premiums were going up 50%, too, because…Obamacare….guess what? None of it was true…he was just lying through his teeth like all repubs do. He never lost his coverage…just moved to an HMO since the PPO’s that the company offered were being eliminated…and the 50% increase? The insurance company can’t figure out where he got those numbers from….they are lowering their rates for that type of insurance….and if he wasn’t such a prick, he could get his insurance from the federal exchange, like the rest of senators and their staffs do and get a subsidy for it…well…maybe not subsidy since his family had income of 10 Million dollars last year. So, again, we have a repub that is so ideology driven that he will lie and lie just to try to make a political point….real presidential material…geez…
