Well…it’s been a bore of a day and I’m just waiting for 7 o’clock to come so I can have a cocktail and watch Man U and Barcelona play a friendly match…I have been working on a political one today but the nonsense goes on with the debt ceiling which is crowding out all the rest of the political news….I just can’t believe that these guys are wasting so much time on this non issue when the economy is heading back into recession…just like I said it would if government spending was cut while the economy was still fragile….I hope the tea partiers are made to pay for their nonsense in 2012 and they send them back to ignorantville where they came from….
One of the things I find funny about the tea party and its masters is how they act just like the totalitarians that they say they hate…in the old Soviet Union, threats were a way of life to those in the government and was the way to keep them in line and we see exactly the same thing from the tea party leaders…promising to “primary” any member of congress that doesn’t do exactly as they say; no matter if their idiocy will result in irreparable damage to the country…these folks just don’t give a damn about anything but the money men from the Heritage foundation, Club for Growth, and the Koch brothers…..it’s just un-American that 80 people out of the congress can take it upon themselves to ruin this country…
Where are the jobs Boehner? Where are the jobs Cantor?
Well…wanted to get this one down before I have lunch and forget it…and, this one is going to be a mash up of different topics….so, bear with me for a few minutes and you might get something worthwhile…remember though, I said might, not would. Let’s start with some more repub hypocrisy…this time on jobs and their constant bitching that Obama has not created any jobs in the aftermath of the deep recession and say that two years of his term should be enough to have created millions of them. Then, we have the repub governors, notably Scott Walker of Wisconsin, coming out late last week and saying that he needs time for his policies on job creation to work, saying that it will be probably almost 3 years for them to really get going…so two years is too long for Obama to create jobs but three years is okay for the repub plan to create jobs? Did they fail elementary math? I seem to remember that three years is longer than two years. Geez….
Nope…I guess this one won’t be a mess of stuff…I should talk about the latest craziness from Michelle Bachmann…she just attacked Obama saying he wants to end Medicare and she won’t let that happen when in the next breath she cries about socialized medicine in the Affordable Care Act…or Obamacare as the right likes to call it. Michelle, Medicare is socialized medicine…a plan run and controlled by the government that you say you hate…so what is it? Is “socialized” medicine bad or good? You can’t have it both ways….and this person is a “serious” candidate for the repub nomination? I sure hope she gets it….4 more years for Obama…
Well..it’s been a busy day today..had lots to do to get to this point and I am now just sitting down for the first time today to take a look at the world of politics and put in my two cents. I am just amazed at the repub hypocrites that have the gall to ask ‘where are the jobs?” as a campaign slogan when, for the 8 years they held power, not one net job was produced by them or their voodoo economics of tax cuts, tax cuts, and more tax cuts. As I have said many times before, if tax cuts spurred job growth, why aren’t we swimming in new jobs with tax rates being at their lowest overall level in more than 50 years. I am more than frustrated by the dems not standing on any flat surface and shouting these facts; that the repub policies do not work for job creation…and I’m sure that business is not hiring just for the fact that they want a repub back in the White House to de-regulate some more and take the remaing shards of the American dream and rip it from the last few hands of the middle class…ignorance is going to be the end of this country I fear…
Well…don’t have a long-form topic again today…it seems that there are so many things up in the air about my life that I’m just not thinking clearly enough to be lucid for long periods of time. So, this is going to be a short one with a few topics….let’s start with Anthony Weiner…what a fricking idiot…what the heck is wrong with politicians these days? Don’t they understand that electronic records last forever once they hit the web? I’m not sure if he should resign but this whole incident just shows that he’s not too bright…but what politician is? Hmmm…oh, the whole lost jobs thing in Obama’s term…the repubs just keep lying about the issue and no one is calling them on it….blaming Obama for the 2 million jobs lost before he even took office…so, that means he’s responsible for 9/11, Katrina, and anything else that happened before he was sworn in, too, I guess. Then, we have ole Tim Pawlenty coming out with his economic plan that includes more tax cuts and a promise that these cuts will result in a 5% growth rate for the economy….never has happened…never will happen….these guys are just pulling figures out of their asses and their base is eating it up…I really fear for this country now…geez…
Well…the tanned one had his Marie Antoinette moment this morning when he was asked if the cuts he is proposing will mean the loss of jobs in the USA….and his answer was ‘so be it” that he doesn’t care that these cuts will potentially cost a million jobs and has the real possibility of plunging the country back into recession. I’m sure you can see his reasoning here which is the reasoning of the repub party….keep the economy bad and unemployment high and the repubs take back the White House in 2012. Another example that the repubs don’t care a bit about you or I…but Boehners case has a nice little twist to it…he’s perfectly happy to cut jobs anyplace but his home state of Ohio, where he is using the earmark process to continue a spare jet engine that no one else wants…not the pentagon or anyone else wants this bit of wasteful spending to continue…but Boehner does since the engine is being made in Ohio and continuing it will protect 7,000 jobs and his re-election status next year….can anyone say pork, pork, pork? Geez….
Well…you’d think that someone that always gets things wrong would be out of job, but I guess if you’re on the right, it just doesn’t matter…you can predict whatever you want, you can be sure of things that are not true, and you can ignore the successes of the opposition because that is what the ignorant right wants. In Nolan’s column this week, he rails and rails about the “job-killing” Obama administration in one sentence and then he says that the automobile industry is in a turnaround and adding jobs…all the while ignoring the fact that he excoriated the administration for the bailout that kept those jobs and set the stage for the automakers to thrive.
He then goes on to the next talking point…that it is Obama who is at fault for gas prices rising and that it will kill the auto industry if he doesn’t do something about it….can anyone say “drill, baby, drill”…
Hypocrisy, thy name is Nolan Finley…geez….
