Well…I am amazed by the air time and analysis that has been given to the remarks made by Chris Christie praising the President’s actions in dealing with the aftermath of Sandy….I think it’s a sign of the dysfunction of our society and the republican party that Christie will probably pay a political price from his own party for the comments…why can’t anyone be honest? Why can’t anything happen in this country without it being viewed through the lens of politics? I know there are questions of politics that need to be answered, but I applaud Christie for shutting down Fox news when they tried to interject politics when our fellow citizens are suffering…and I applaud Obama for just being president and doing his job…maybe we can learn something from this…that repubs and dems can work together if the repubs can stop the pettiness that has paralyzed the country for the past two years…okay, I know…not going to happen but I am still the optimist….

It’s reverso Mitt and more shenanigans…
Well…I am so sick of the crap coming out of ole Mitt’s campaign…I have never ever heard of a politician or even a private citizen that has less core than ole Mitt…who lies and lies and lies…in a better world, people would laugh at this idiot and send him back to his house with the car elevator and Bain where he can only hurt the companies that Bain owns, not the entire country…and this latest, where Mitt is on tape saying he would get rid of FEMA and being quite adamant about it in the primaries…but, today, he turns into reverso Mitt and says that he wouldn’t eliminate FEMA…what is it Mitt? FEMA or no FEMA? How did this guy get to where he is…I guess this is just another example of money trumping competence or even honesty. Then, we have the shenanigans in Wisconsin, where the Romney campaign is training thousands of “poll watchers” to go into the poll and mislead people to suppress the vote, slow down the vote so people will go home when they see the long lines that will result. Is there any greater threat to our democracy than the modern Republican party? I’ve never seen this kind of gaming of an election…and if ole Mitt wins…I will never recognize it as legitimate…this amoral idiot is damaging our country to it’s core just to win…again, no principles other than winning…it makes me sick…geez…
Yeah, let’s abolish FEMA…
Well…events of this week just point out the stupidity of the repubs arguments that the federal government is too big and needs to be shrunk by over 30%…and this culminated in ole Mitt’s pledge to eliminate FEMA in a speech this past week…now, I’m not an advocate of government doing everything, but there are some things that the federal government is uniquely suited to do…and this is one of them, coordinating disaster response across the many states that are going to be affected by hurricane Sandy and making sure that the people in the affected areas are safe. In this time of cash-strapped state governments, ole Mitt’s ideas of letting the states go it alone in a natural disaster is unconscionable…that spreading of the risk and the costs of recovery is exactly what a nation should do…but in ole Mitt’s jaundiced eye it is every man for himself…what’s next? Make the cities and towns that are affected go it alone, too? That brings me to the nonsense that both Ryan and Eric Cantor pushed during the tornadoes that devastated Joplin…that is that there will be no disaster relief until there are budget cuts to pay for them…tell that to the 50 million people that are going to targeted by this storm…what a bunch of uncaring, ideology driven idiots….geez…
Okay…I was a little mistaken about the timing of ole Mitt’s comments…they were from 2011…so far back that they surely can’t be his views now…that was a little sarcasm…but the one nugget that I missed was his idea to move disaster relief to the “private sector”…so now he advocates letting his rich buddies make profit from the misery of his fellow citizens? So, I wonder what the price is of a rescue from a terrible storm? Your house? Your car? Your life savings? I just can’t believe this election is even close…wake up, folks…
Back to the “let’s scare em” playbook
Well…I am just appalled at the stupidity or the willful lying about the auto industry that came out of ole Mitt’s campaign yesterday….if it’s stupidity, then ole Mitt is not the sharp businessman that he purports to be, and if it’s lying…yeah, I know, he lies all the time so what is the big deal? Yesterday, in a speech in Ohio, ole Mitt came on stage and attacked Obama by saying that Chrysler is going to move all Jeep production to China because of too much regulation, yadda, yadda….but in the report that he quoted for his information, it was clear that Chrysler said no such thing…they said they were going to look at restarting Jeep production in China for the Chinese market….and they came out with a letter to ole Mitt saying that it was just an overheated fantasy that they were moving any production…and then stated they were ADDING 1,100 jobs in Detroit…something that ole Mitt didn’t want to hear since those jobs are a direct result of the auto bailout that he vehemently opposed. As always, ole Mitt didn’t think about the workers in those plants in Toledo that he said were closing…he didn’t think about the shock that would come from losing everything…he only thought of them as a prop for his campaign and as a way to get votes…what an amoral piece of crap ole Mitt is…geez…
The no values party…
Well…I find the contortions that ole Mitt is doing to try to make himself palatable to the general public really laughable…or, I would if the shape-shifting wasn’t such a dangerous thing….what message does it send to the world and the bad actors in it on foreign policy? If they just wait long enough, that a new policy that they will like is tried? This kind of crap just emphasizes the cynicism that runs rampant through today’s modern repub party…that even the tea partiers and their rigidity on their supposed “American Values” don’t have one word to say when ole Mitt abandons the party’s principles and platform to try to get votes…these supposed values must not mean too much to them…at least not as much as power does, the power to imposed their views on the entire country when all the polls show we don’t want what they are selling. The lack of any core values combined with the embracing of public lying is the biggest threat to this country that we face…geez…
Another inconvenient fact for the Republicans…
Well…with the new attack on Obama on the oil lease nonsense, they are again lying through their teeth as I explained a couple of days ago, but the new, inconvenient fact that the repubs don’t want to talk about is the trend in domestic oil and gas production. Over the past four years (you remember those years of the over regulatin’, socialist president) oil and gas production in the US has soared and is on pace to rise another 7% this year…if these trends continue, the US will be the largest producer of oil in the world in just a couple of years…surpassing even Saudi Arabia. So, either the regulations didn’t have any effect on rising production or they actually spurred more oil and gas production…either one just blows apart another lie by the repubs…maybe the truth will win…at least it looks like it has gotten up off the canvas and is ready to go a couple more rounds…
Let’s climb down from the ledge….
Well…there has been much consternation from the good guys that Obama has not been able to pull away in the polls with Romney being exposed for the shallow idiot that he is…and plenty of us have been on the ledge, ready to jump…but there was a good article that just came across Twitter from the WAPO today that does the right math, the electoral math, not the popular vote math the repubs are pushing. In the popular vote, ole Mitt has been crowing that all he needs to win is 50.1% of the vote to become president, again exposing that he is just not too bright…when we look at the electoral math and map… even with being tied, Obama has almost 240 votes that are essentially locked in of the 270 needed for election while ole Mitt has around 190…of the 110 left, Obama only needs to win 30 more but ole Mitt needs around 80 to get the job done…basically, he would have to run the table and take all of the remaining votes, something that does not look possible with the leads that Obama has in many of those states. So, climb down from the ledges folks, it still looks good for the good guys and with today’s new rape controversy sparked by another stupid repub…it will look even better tomorrow…especially since ole Mitt just did and ad for this idiot. Geez…
No contest…
Well…even though I was out for quite a while last night, I did get the chance to watch a good portion of the debate last night…I wonder if I should even call it a debate? I mean, Obama just mopped the floor with ole Mitt and exposed him for the know nothing hack politician that he is. I am glad that Obama finally pointed out to the public how ole Mitt’s stands change form day to day, not a good thing for a president, especially in a dangerous world…can you imagine ole Mitt going up against any of the bad guys in the world? After watching the gerbil on meth look he had again last night with the smirks, the blank stare, and the excessive eye blinking, it looked like he was having a stroke as he tried to regurgitate the standard talking point nonsense. The most striking thing for me was the fact that he agreed with almost everything that Obama has been doing in foreign policy…so why should anyone vote for ole Mitt? I just think there is no depth there….geez,,,
I think my brain has stopped working…
Well…I’m not sure what the heck the problem is with me lately, but I have been having real problems getting to these and having something to say…but, I have been blocked before and I’m sure I will be again…so, let’s go…I just love the word mendacity and I have been getting to use it a lot lately when I have been describing the repubs and their actions…from voter suppression to just bald faced lies in the debates across the country, I have never seen a party that is so far distanced from the truth…the latest example comes from the senate debate in Montana where the repub candidate denied vehemently that he voted to turn Medicare into a voucher program….the only problem was that he did…and it was in the congressional record…but with these guys, it just doesn’t matter, they just move on and their supporters don’t seem to mind they are being lied to….maybe it’s just not my brain that has stopped working…maybe everyone’s has…geez…
A short comparison..
Well…there are so many things that people need to remember for the election in three weeks…I’ll list a few of them here..first what party wants to give more tax cuts to the rich and pay for them by taxing the middle class? Yep, you guessed it, the repubs…second, who wants to take away a woman’s right to control her body and her healthcare? Yay…you got two right, the repubs, of course…Who is the party that is doing it’s best to make sure your neighbors and mine can’t vote? Three for three, the repubs…the last one is just a general thing…who are the people who lie like rugs every time the open their mouths? That’s 100%…the repubs again…how can this election even be close? Geez….
