Pay for play…exposed……

Well…these damn repubs are so stupid they are saying the quiet parts out loud…after most of the repubs in the House supported the lies that there was election fraud in the 2020 election that led directly to the attack on the capitol…there was huge backlash from their corporate donors who said they will stop giving money to the ones who supported the lie and insurrection…and what is the response of these repubs? To expose they are all doing “pay for play” by saying they won’t meet with any representative from the companies until they give them money again…gee…sounds a bit like blackmail or extortion to me and it does fit the criminal description of it….so now we know…okay, we knew this before…that the modern repubs are only in government to enrich themselves…they have no principles or any guiding system of governance…they are just in it for the money and when the money is shut off there is no reason for them to be there…not to make their voters life better since that never enters into their heads…just money…and money alone….god, I hate these guys…

Nobody’s fault but ours….

Well…that title is a paraphrase of a Led zeppelin song title, and it came to me today on the bike that if we let the crazies and the know nothings take this election, it nobody’s fault but ours. It our fault if we sit this one out because it has become too partisan, or because we’re not energized enough, or because we’re too busy…this is way too important to not take a half hour out of our busy days and get out to vote…and there is a difference between the candidates that can’t be overstated…go back to Bush and deregulation or keep going forward where government puts it’s thumb on the scale FOR us, not against us.

This could be our chance to make sure businesses won’t keep spending secret money to get their way; to buy legislators and legislation that allows them to get rewarded for taking, taking, and taking…if we don’t believe the lies those right-wing ads are full of…if we hear ‘failed stimulus package” and think: LIE…if we hear 500 billion in Medicare cuts and think: LIE…and if we hear “Nancy Pelosi’s best friend” and think: LIE….we can get them to stop with our votes because they will stop spending the money if it doesn’t get results. So, let’s not give them the results they are looking for. It’s nobody’s fault but ours if we let this country go down the drain…again, it up to you and me…
