They do know there is video, right?

Well…yeah, I’m really late today with taking the day off to lie on the couch and watch movies…but I did want to talk about the stupidity of the repubs when it comes to video evidence of what they say…I mean they do know there is video, right? It started Tuesday when Biden called them out on their plans to eliminate SS and Medicare…and they all complained loudly that they never said they were going to do that…cue the video…so today, reporters kind of did their jobs and had the tape ready when the asked Mike Lee if he was going to cut those popular and vital programs and he again denied it…so they rolled the tape and the idiot just got pissed and walked away…I saw this happen a couple of times in my feed over at Mastodon and I can understand why they keep lying…after all, not one damn repub has been held accountable for their lies so they will just keep doing it unless the media elevates the truth and continues to confront them with it…and the rest of the dems need to “Biden up” and do the same…oh, and I’ll copyright “Biden Up” tm…I thought that one up right now…

Where’s our progressive warrior?

Well…watching the fiscal curb nonsense that has been going on over the past month or so, a question has come to mind about Obama…”where’s our progressive warrior?” Where is the person that we elected to take the results of the election and turn it into policy? Where is the person that was supposed to protect SS and Medicare at all costs and get the revenue side of the economic equation back in balance? After all, government spending and taxation is at its lowest point in almost 50 years as a percentage of GDP and the economy is sluggish because of it…take one look at Europe and you will get the idea of what the repubs plans to continue to cut spending will do…we will certainly have a double dip recession with more people out of work and less tax revenue coming in…I have had enough of compromise with the terrorists on the right…they have changed politics from the collaborative art of compromise to one of take no prisoners…to one of winner takes all and no matter how much Obama may want it, we aren’t going back to compromise any day soon and he needs to wake up to the new political reality and be the tough warrior for the middle class that the repubs are for the rich…and he needs to do it now before this country is forfeit to the know nothings on the right…geez….
