Well…I think things are starting to turn in the election and I do believe that it comes down to the competing visions that the two parties have for the country…the dems have a vision of possibilities and a greater future with fighting for the middle class while the repubs have a vision of a diminished America of going backwards on the rights of citizens and giving more and more away to corporations and the rich. The American people are starting to see the repubs for who they are and they don’t like it…they don’t like ole Mitt trampling on the memories of the 4 Americans killed in Libya and they don’t like that he appears more and more like he is in no way near ready to be president….and the media is starting to call them on their vagueness and lies…I am really starting to have hope that the repubs are being seen for what they are…they are not like the rest of us to be sure…

September 16th
Well…it was a day yesterday…didn’t do a whole lot…decided to stay in last night with the back pain I have been having that has stretched from my neck down…but I’m sure that it is not structural so I’m just going to have to ride it out…might even take the day off of the bike today to let things settle down…might have something to do today..supposed to meet up with T later but I’m not sure if that is going to happen….but, I don’t have anything else to do so it’s no big deal…I will be back later for another one after I digest the news of the day…
September 15th
Well…it’s Saturday so you knew I was going to be late getting to this..it was an okay day yesterday…won at pool but you know that makes me feel kind of crappy today…and I am still sore from golfing last Sunday..or, I think I am…my lower back is killing me today so back to the ibuprofen and aspirin….I do have some things to do today but I’m not sure if I’m going to do them or not…a bonfire out in Cedar for later but I want to watch the new Doctor Who tonight, too, so I may just skip it…will have to go out to see the Michigan game since they dropped the big ten network from the dish and I am starting to get really annoyed with them…okay…going to go get more coffee and watch the tube for a while…
Flip flopping must be contagious..
Well….it looks like flip flopping might be contagious with the comment that Paul Ryan made yesterday on the role of government in peoples lives…in case you are unaware, ole Ryan is the author of many bills that would restrict the right of women to contraceptives and abortion…so, yesterday he comes out and uses for an example of government abuses the new contraceptive requirement that he feels is taking away the rights of the Catholic church to control the women that work for it..so, he thinks it’s bad for government to impose regulations that would help women but he thinks it’s just peachy when government is used to take rights away….what a crazy, screwed up idiot…and this is the future of the repub party? I hope so…then we will never see another one in the White House…geez…
September 14th
Well…it was a day yesterday and I got a few things done so I feel okay about that…got rid of the leaning tower of papers and got the glass cleaned in the car along with de-spotting it…then it was just a total veg for the rest of the day and I ate way too much so I’ll have to make up for that today….I do feel a little crappy today with not sleeping too well but I said I wasn’t going to bitch about that anymore so I won’t…I do have some stuff to do today…pool with Tom for the first time in a month but we still need to find a new place since the other place overcharged us so much….more later…..
Here’s a conspiracy theory for you…
Well….I was just thinking about a few things, mostly the whole idiot Romney statement and came up with this thought: what if this whole thing is a plan by the repubs to inflame the middle east so they then can criticize Obama for being weak? After seeing how Fox covered it yesterday and today, it appears that this might be what is happening…although I am loathe to give the repubs any credit for having any intelligence at all…just a thought…
Just a few things…again…
Well…after the over the top output over the past few days, I think I’ll just take it easy today and noodle around again to see if anything starts to work…I did want to talk about the new conference that ole Mitt did on Tuesday….did anyone else get creeped out by the smarmy, smirking, exit? A serious situation like the one in Libya and all this guy can do is smirk? It is getting too easy to take shots at this idiot…so, that will be the last one for the day. Good news with the polls here in Michigan…the latest ones show that ole Mitt is 10 points behind and has stopped spending money here…yay…and other polls show that senator Stabenow is leading Hoekstra by 11…and Hoekstra keeps making mistake after mistake…kinda like ole Mitt…okay…I won’t talk about him anymore. I did go back to watching the news yesterday and I think it will be a one time thing since it has gotten way too strident for me…that’s about it…can’t really think right now…I may be back later for more, though…who knows?
September 13th
Well…the second recovery day went pretty well yesterday and the soreness is starting to ease….slept okay last night but I feel pretty crappy today and tired…but I feel pretty good that I got caught up on these yesterday…not much to do today…I do need to make the grocery run and get coffee…but first, back to the couch for some water…more later…
One last thing for today…
Well…I know I have been hammering ole Mitt almost non stop for the last couple of months but my ire has been earned by the stupidity we see daily from these folks…but the one scary thing that most people don’t know is who his foreign policy advisers are…if you like to be lied into two wars that were not paid for, then vote for ole Mitt since he has all of guys that were responsible for the Iraq war working for him and making his foreign policy…scary stuff if you love this country as I do…what we don’t need is a re-run of the Bush years….and that is what you’ll get with ole Mitt…
I find this just too funny…
Well…reading and reading all day, I found a new thread that has started to pop up that is just too funny…that is if you think the Romney candidacy is a joke as I do…the repubs have already started to try out the trial balloons of why Romney lost…yep, even those on the right are starting to see this election as a lost cause and are getting ready to throw Romney under the bus to try to save the “brand” of the republican party by saying that ole Mitt was just a bad candidate but the ideas of the party are still good and the people like them. The people like tax cuts for the rich? The people like deregulation of the banks? The people like the dismantling of Medicare? The people like the destruction of Social Security? The people like two wars that were not paid for? The people like government intrusion into women’s bodies? The people like the rejection of science for ignorance? Man, the repubs are just delusional if they think that the rejection of Romney is not a rejection of the crazy right wing ideas, too…and maybe the media won’t let them get away with it this time…we can only hope….geez…
