Well…with the vote yesterday in the senate that blocked the re-instatement  of UI benefits for the long term unemployed…there is only one party that is responsible…and it’s name starts with an R…can you guess which one? Yep, the damn republicans are at it again, showing their disdain for anyone that is not rich and trying to spin it that is mean ole Harry Reid’s fault since he wouldn’t let the repubs add amendments that would repeal Obamacare and add more giveaways to big business. The sickening thing about all this is how transparently political this sham is…when ole GW was in office, the dems never asked for anything in return for taking care of Americans…they went along because it was the right thing to do…but the repubs don’t give a damn about Americans…even the unemployed R’s that vote for them…I think they are going to be surprised at the backlash for this one…there have been numerous stories that have die hard r’s that are unemployed who say they will never vote for a repub again….and we just might get Harry Reid to change the filibuster rules again that will let them get things done with a simple majority…and cut the repubs out of the process all together…they don’t want to govern anyway…geez…

Well…it has been another day of basically nothing..other than going out to lunch…and I am feeling that malaise that had been dogging me for the past month…which is keeping me from thinking about what to write here and finding a good topic…we still have the repubs being dicks by trying everything to keep UI benefits from being approved by attaching amendments that do nothing but punish people….and that is what the repub party has become over the years…all punishment…all the time…punish the poor, punish voters, punish women, punish undocumented people….when are they ever going to try to do something for the country and its people? Oh, that’s right, never….I wish Olbermann would bring back “the worst person in the world” and we could name the entire right in this country….what a bunch of asses…geez…
