Well….if you have been following politics for a long time as I have, you will no doubt remember the rule that the repubs used to have..”never speak ill of another repub”….looking at what is going on now, that rule has been shredded and dumped down the sewer. You only have to look at the spat between ole Donald and Ben Carson when the Donald compared ole Ben to a child molester to start and then trotted out some tried and true racist dog whistles to go after him since he is rising in the polls. Then ole Ben shot back with the comment that “he is terribly sad for Donald” and it is bad to see him “implode before our eyes”….now, I can see the ads that are going to be run if either of these idiots gets nominated and it won’t be pretty since they will use the words of other repubs to attack the nominee and the dems won’t even have to write anything. Contrast that to the deep policy discussions that are going on on our side….now, I am not naive enough to think that no one on our side will go negative…after all, negativity works in some instances and we do want to win…I am laughing at the lack of discipline on the right when they have lived by staying on the talking point message so well over the past few years…just hope they keep it up….

Just one more on ole Ben…
Well…I know I’ve been doing a lot of these on ole Ben Carson but damn, he’s such an easy target that I just have to….and the latest thing shows that this idiot has an ego that is bigger than anyone’s in the world probably…the other day, trying to justify his absolute lack of political experience and knowledge, he compared himself to the founding fathers, stating that none of them had ever held elected office either…but, when he was told that most of them really had held offices in the early governments before the US was born, he comes back with the lame, lame qualifier that none of them had held FEDERAL office….which of course is true since there were no federal offices at that time. The whole idea that this idiot is comparing himself to Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ben Franklin and the rest is just the worst sort of egoism…the only thing he has in common with any of these guys is his first name…to compare himself to the people who built the structure of this country that endures to this day is so over the top that I am going to stop commenting here and just let that soak in for a while…what a maroon…..
One more on ole Ben…
Well…if you have listened to Ben Carson with some sort of critical ear…you know he is just a delusional liar, but today another huge lie was exposed that has me shaking my head…one of the stories he told and continues to tell is one where he says he was offered a full ride scholarship to West Point after having a long talk with General Westmorland when he was 17…the problem with that is that it never happened…he may have met the general while they were at the same dinner at that time, but there is no record that he ever applied to West Point…there is no congressperson that put forth his application…which is necessary…there is no record whatsoever that this even happened…so what does that make him….let me think…a liar? The sad thing is that him being such a bald faced liar will not hurt him with the idiots on the right…..they will blame it on the “lamestream” media as ole Ben has already started to do….this guy should never be in any office…anywhere….he shouldn’t even be in this race…geez…
Ben Carson is just weird…and crazy…
Well…the more I read about ole Ben, the more I think he really is insane…not only is he a “young earth” evangelical, but, as I said here before, he doesn’t “believe” in science or astronomy. The latest addition to this full vat of crazy comes from a speech that he gave in the late 90’s where he said that he doesn’t believe the archeologists that say that the pyramids were built as tombs for the pharaohs…he thinks that they were built by the biblical Joseph for grain storage since the bible said that Joseph talked to the pharaohs about grains….I am shaking my head about the crazy in that one…but it goes to ole Ben’s ignorance and his substituting his beliefs for settled science. Not one archeologist supports this idiotic notion and all you have to do is look at the timing…the pyramids were built thousands of years before Joseph was even on the scene and there has never been any grain found there other than the offerings left for the pharaoh’s afterlife needs. Man, this guys is so willfully ignorant, how could he possibly lead a technological nation when science doesn’t mean anything to him? I know the modern repubs have taken know nothingness to an artform but, c’mon…this is just too much….I can’t wait to hear the comments from the rest of the world who are already laughing at us….geez…
Are the people in Kentucky just stupid?
Well…with the elections yesterday…and I voted…the people of Kentucky have shown behavior that could only be described as stupid with their electing a far right wing tea party idiot as governor. Guess what this cretin ran on…taking health insurance away from 440,000 people in Kentucky that benefited from the Medicaid expansion that the previous dem governor accepted from the feds. I wonder what it is that people are now constantly voting against their own self interest? Most of these people on Medicaid there are poor whites who overwhelmingly wanted the tea party to run their state…or ruin their state…they have a functioning state exchange called Kynect that people love but they just don’t understand that it is Obamacare…same damn thing…people there hate Obamacare by a 2-1 margin but when they just say Kynect, a majority likes it…just another example that these people are just not right…I am at a loss to understand this nonsense…..oh, well…it’s almost as bad here so I guess I shouldn’t talk too much…geez…
Shouldn’t you have to believe in science to be president?
Well…I know the know-nothingness is a badge of honor for many of those on the right but shouldn’t you have to believe in science to be president? I guess not for the ignorant masses on the right and for their leading candidate Ben Carson. In an interview this weekend, ole Ben came out and said that the theory of evolution, which does explain how everything got here, was a plot by the devil to lead people away from religion and that it can be dismissed as false since progressives believe that it does explain how life got to where it is now. He has also said that the science of astronomy is “false” and doesn’t believe in that either. I have never heard more ignorant statements from any supposed “leader” but the right eats this crap up…where did their intelligence go? Or, have they always been this stupid but just hid it better? I cannot believe that in the 21st century anyone can still think that everything they need to know was written by a bunch of ignorant goat herders over 2,000 years ago…geez…
This guy is a sheriff?
Well…I do need to do a couple more of these today and just remembered this unique bit of crazy from Milwaukee sheriff David Clarke…in an interview this past week this right wing nut was commenting on the BLM movement and, as you can expect from the right, called them a terrorist organization…but, this guy went even farther than that…he predicted that BLM and ISIS are going to merge together and kill everyone in the US…yep, a real sheriff said that..where the hell do these guys get their delusions? How do they continue to get elected when they are so demonstrably nuts? These kinds of thoughts used to be whispered in the fever dreams of the crazy…not shouted out on the airwaves like it is the most normal things you could ever say…wow…just wow…
The latest repub “debate”
Well…right off the bat I want to admit I couldn’t stomach another repub debate after about 5 mins of the ‘kiddie table” event….just way too many lies…especially ole Bobby Jindal being proud that he put 30K people out of work by cutting state government and glossing over the fact that the only reason the budget is balanced is the use of accounting tricks…leaving an almost 2 billion dollar deficit for the next governor to have to deal with…I did go out and read as much as I could take about the grown ups debate…well…as grown up as people like Rubio and Cruz can be….and the only theme was that they all have tax cut programs that would give the country away to the rich and cut every program that benefits anyone but the rich…there was one thing that they all did to deflect attention away from their delusions…and that was to attack the media for asking them questions that they couldn’t answer and hurting their fee fees…geez what a group of losers who shouldn’t ever see the White House…even on a tour….
If you hate the senate so much, Rubio, just quit…
Well…not sure if you have heard of this nonsense but I read about it a few days ago and wanted to make a short comment. In the past week or so, Marco Rubio has been telling everyone that will listen that he hates the senate and won’t run for re-election…and this has really shown in his behavior lately…having compiled the worst attendance and voting record of anyone in the senate. This coming from a person that famously said a few weeks ago about some other government official that if they won’t do their jobs, they should just quit…so, Marco, take your own advice and stop stealing your pay for the next year…pay, by the way, that is $174,000 dollars a year and that I’m sure most people wouldn’t whine about….this is the typical repub these days…bitch and complain when you have it better than most of the people in this country and make excuses for not doing your job….if the senate is too hard for you, why the hell are you running for president? So you can quit when it gets too hard like sister Sarah…what a crass little whiner…geez…
Ben Carson…wow…that’s all I have to say…
Well…if you have been paying any attention to the crazy-assed stuff that ole Ben has been spouting, this may not be a surprise to you…but it was to me and I am shaking my head about the stupidity of this guy…in the past few days, one of the things that old Ben has spewed out of his fever brain is, that if he is elected, he would change the purpose of the Department of Education to be the thought police and to withhold federal funds to any university that espoused teaching ideas that are outside the mainstream…and that mainstream is whatever ole Ben thinks it is…and, all you have to do is look at what this idiot believes to see what a nightmare world he lives in where evolution is the “work of the devil” and any progressive thought needs to be punished. Now, do you see what this looks like? Kinda like China under Mao or Germany under Hitler where people would be punished for thought…never mind that the first amendment protects thought and speech here in the US…but we all know that any repub loves the constitution until people they hate get rights from it….this guy is just batshit crazy and should never be anywhere near any government function other than receiving mental health care….geez…
