We're Here! We're Ready to Screw the Middle Class!

Too much of anything is not good for you. The Republican party has yet to learn this. Too much exposure of their true agenda is waking up the American sleeping giant. What is the only god they truly worship? If you now realize that it's money, welcome to a group of millions of Americans who have finally had their eyes opened. There is no concern for the American people, only the concern for how to acquire more wealth and more power for the rich. One presidential candidate proudly claims to make 60 thousand dollars for a speech and 1.8 million to give history lessons. His ideas range from arresting judges that he doesn't agree with, to getting rid of child labor laws so businesses can fire the parents and hire their kids for Chinese-like wages. Another presidential front runner says corporations are people. All the while, making his fortune acquiring companies, outsourcing jobs, and firing workers. He won't release his tax forms because they would show him in the 1%. He says banks should not be hindered in any way when foreclosing on homes, stolen with outrageous bogus lending practices. Another candidate wants to make congress part-time and make himself pope of America.
If you still believe that one of these looney greed mongers would make a good president, then only bats occupy your belfry. If you listen to only hateful rhetoric from right wing radio and television zealots, then your deck of cards is quite a bit short. If you think the ultra rich should be called job creators, then your elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. If you think Republicans care about your economic struggles, your wheel is spinning but your hamster is dead. If you believe that after voting to turn Medicare over to insurance companies, that they won't gut Social Security, then your oven is on but nothing's cooking. One more sickening cliche for you. We're here and we're ready to work.

And God Bless Tiny Newt

Those of us who are fortunate enough to have a great meal during the holidays should take a moment to thank God, karma, or our lucky stars for the Republican debates. The craziness kept mostly hidden all these election cycles is now plain for everyone to see. Americans have now heard of seven foot doctors, social Ponzi schemes, electrified border fences, letting uninsured comatose patients die, less taxes on the rich and an utter disdain for the poor and for gay people. All the candidates support Gomer Pyles, I mean Paul Ryans handing over Medicare to insurance companies. We have now all heard how a never elected right wing zealot has gotten Republican congressmen to sign a no tax pledge that effectively bars them from doing their job. We have seen houses burn to the ground as firemen stood by and watched because of an unpaid $75.00 fee. And God bless tiny Newt for saying he would arrest judges he didn't agree with.

Getrich the Opportunist Candidate (Sung to the tune of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer)

Getrich the Opportunist candidate

had a very hungry wallet

and if you really know him

you know he vilified all the poor kids he met.

All of the other politicians

used to laugh and call him names.

They never let moneybags Getrich

stay a power broker in their games.

Then one goofy election eve

Tea baggers came to say

Getrich with your mean spirited soul

won't you help our money grow?

Then all the greedy flocked to him

as they shouted out with glee.

Getrich the opportunist candidate

surely you can re-write history.

Go to Hell, Go to Hell (sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)

Dashing through the gloom

In a shiny black limousine

Ore the roads we go,

Laughing like a fiend.

Bells at soup kitchens ring

Making stomachs growl

Oh what fun it is to laugh and sing

Being a Republican on the prowl.

Oh, go to hell, go to hell

All you poor people have got to pay.

Oh what fun it is to ran and vent,

and not pay taxes along the way

Oh, go to hell, go to hell

you middle class cry babies make me sick

If I get my way they'll pass a law someday

and I'll be able to beat you with a stick.

CAIN ISN'T ABLE and OTHER BUMPER STICKERS

Watching little bits and pieces of the Republican debates, I wondered where are the catchy bumper stickers? I jumped into my ten year old Chevy pickup and headed to the ritzy side of town to check out parking lots at high end shopping centers. You know the kind. The security guards there are trained to seek out and follow customers that don't leach the smell of money. Bingo! Mercedes, BMWs, Lexus' almost all wore their politics on their shiny overpriced bumpers. The first one I spotted said :

CAIN ISN'T ABLE, then PERRY IS JUST SCARY.

Luxury car after luxury car sported flashy Chinese manufactured political slogans.:

IMMIGRATION? TRY LETHAL RADIATION

MICHELLE ISN'T WELL

YOU NEED A BOTTOM FEEDER NOT A READER

IF YE DO NOT WORK-STARVE YOU LAZY BASTARDS

OBAMA CARES-I DON'T

MY LOVE OF COUNTRY AND WORK ETHIC MADE ME CHEAT

SANTORUM? POOR PEOPLE REALLY BORE HIM

MITT IS FULL OF IT

NEWTS A HOOT

PAUL WILL KEEP AMERICA SMALL

CLEAN AIR, CLEAN WATER? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING CLEAN AIR OR WATER

MY DOCTOR IS SEVEN FEET TALL AND HATES OBAMA

I NEVER SAW BOTH SIDES OF AN ISSUE BEFORE MITT

TAX THE POOR NOT THE RICH

VACCINATIONS CAUSE RETARDATION

Yes... they do eat their own. Oops!

Michelle and the Seven Foot Doctor

Doctor: "Come in Michelle and lets have a little talk about your refusal to live in the real world."

Michelle: "Oh doctor, you're so tall. How tall are you? Over seven feet I bet."

Doctor: "No Michelle I"m only five eight."

Michelle: "You look much taller."

Doctor: "Michelle, which president do you believe fought a war against slavery?"

Michelle: "George Washington. In fact all the founding fathers, Jefferson Davis, Thomas Edison, and Grover Norquist all fought wars against slavery."

Doctor: "Michelle, Grover Norquist is an anti-tax advocate and he's still alive."

Michelle: "The fight against enslaving the rich goes on."

Doctor: "Michelle, before your ah, umm, problems weren't you a lawyer for the IRS?"

Michelle: "I was a spy trying to destroy them from the inside."

Doctor: "I've decided to stop the shock therapy and do a pre-frontal lobotomy, Nurse."

Republicans...Too much information

What is going to cost the Republican party the 2012 presidential and congressional elections? The overworked phrase "too much information". We now know their plans for the country. Creating jobs will consist of letting business and the banks run wild without regulation. They will dismantle any regulations such as Dodd, Frank or the health care bill. It will also consist of cutting taxes for the rich and going after the meager money the poor need to survive. All the Republican candidates have said they will not accept a ten to one ratio of cuts to revenue. Their position on the EPA? We don't need clean air and water, they are too costly. On immigration? Massive jolts of electricity and barbed wire. On medicare and the safety net? All the Republicans in office now or seeking office have voted to turn over Medicare to their buddies the insurance companies. Social Security? Let the stock market have a crack at it. Break the unions. Make it harder to vote if you're likely to vote for Democrats. Die if you can't afford health insurance. Remember if you're not rich or don't have a job, it's your fault.

Overreaching Heinous Ideology Overturned A.K.A. Ohio

Sleeping Beauty had to be kissed by a prince to wake up. Ohioans had to be clubbed over the head by a Republican Governor who promised jobs and delivered class warfare instead.

Guess what Republican big money? You're class warfare attack ads and Republican celebrities didn't work. Instead of lulling Ohioans into another narcoleptic state they stimulated Ohioans into voting down an anti union law. All those millions of dollars you spent trying to pit the people of Ohio against one another were wasted. You lost. This is only the beginning and you know it. Look at Occupy Wall Street, look at people leaving the banks for credit unions. The people are waking up. Change your idiotic no tax pledge or go the way of the dinosaur. All of your members in Congress have voted on the record, to give Medicare to insurance companies. If you don't think the people know what your up to just keep protecting the rich and see what happens.

The Ding Dong Republicans are Alarming

Alarm bells are ringing all over the country. People are camping out in city parks to protest the greed that has overthrown the government. Right here in Ohio I just saw a pro issue 2, anti union, class warfare commercial that was all about pitting working class people against one another. Instead of wanting all people to have good benefits, Republicans want you to be jealous of the people that have more than you. You know class warfare. The same kind of warfare they accuse Democrats of raising on the ultra rich.

Listen to the craziness of the right wings latest ideas. First the flat tax. This would just make the rich rich and the middle class and poor poorer. A deadly electrified fence on the border with Mexico. Get rid of the EPA. Clean air and clean water? We don't need no stinking clean air and clean water. Abolish reforms passed that are known as Obama-care. This is just a gift to the demonic health care insurance cabal. Abolish the Dodd Frank banking regulations, because we certainly don't want to reign in Wall Street. Republicans are already on record to turn Medicare over to insurance companies and to never raise taxes on the rich. Vote Republican if you really want your bell rung.

Those Zany Cartoon Republican Candidates

Can you believe those looney-tune-like candidates for president the Republican Party has promoted. The front runner and sure to be the nominee, Willard, is having his present mansion demolished so he can build a bigger mansion. He's made his fortune by taking over companies and getting rid of working class people. He says corporations are people. He says banks should foreclose faster on the people they gave unmanageable home loans to.

The African American pizza king candidate says blame yourself if you can't find a job. Just be willing to work for 61 cents an hour like the people in China do. He is against any form of abortion, but in the same sentence says a woman and her family should make that decision.

The arrogant cowboy from Texas, whose salad must contain loco weed, says social security is a ponzi scheme. He says he's qualified to be president because he's created more minimum wage jobs than any other governor. He's also more qualified because the state of Texas executes more people than any other state.

The audience at the Republican debates actually cheer when it is suggested an uninsured comatose patient should be allowed to die or boo a gay solider serving his country. This field of candidates would just be a joke if they weren't so pathetic.

BLAME YOURSELF

The man with the 9-9-9 plan says if you are poor, hungry, unemployed, or can't afford health insurance, blame yourself. Of course, if you turn the numbers 9-9-9 upside down you get 6-6-6. Yes the mark of the devil, go figure.

So if your rich boss sent your job to China...blame yourself. If failed CEO's get golden parachutes instead of golden showers...blame yourself. If gas and oil companies get obscene tax breaks and are protected by bought and paid for politicians...blame yourself. If you work two minimum wage jobs and so does your spouse and you still can't make ends meet...blame yourself. If you've lost your right to bargain with your employer...blame yourself. If you believe this garbage is fair and vote Republican...blame yourself.

Real Fire in the Belly

I must announce a mea culpa to the O.W.S. protesters. I wrote a blog last year asking where was the fire in the belly of the young people today. The young and old people protesting around the country have proven to all of us that they have what it takes to bring focus to the rape of America by the rich. I totally admire their determination to effect change. What they are doing is incredibly hard and courageous. They are constantly vilified by right wing zealots and their politicians. They have the mainstream media baffled and perplexed. I love it. This is one of the few things in the last ten years that actually gives me hope. To me there is nothing to criticize about the movement. I just want to say thank you. The Japanese Admiral who attacked Pearl Harbor worried afterwards that he had just awakened a sleeping giant. The Wall Streeters and their bought and paid for politicians probably feel the same way.

Theology of the Wealthy

I was channel surfing the other Sunday and I came across some mega church pastor pontificating on the grace bestowed upon the wealthy. He actually said words to the effect that you should feel proud to flaunt your wealth. Drive your luxury car with your head held high. Don't worry about what other people think, god made you wealthy because you deserve it. What a bunch of sacrilegious garbage. These shills for the rich disregard and misinterpret the bible, and the gospels especially, for their own monetary gain. No harder for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven than a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, for them. No good Samaritan giving the shirt off their backs for their fellow man. Not these puffy haired hypocrites. These false prophets preach god only rewards the rich because they are deserving. What would Jesus do? He certainly wouldn't dessert the poor and embrace the rich. What feel-good, obscene trash they spout. Have they no shame or fear?

Republican Zombies

Remember the monster movies of the past?

They always reflected the times in which they were made. Movies of the 1950's like Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Invaders from Mars were satires on the rigid conformity of the era. The 1960's had their horrors of nuclear annihilation and science run amok themes. The 1970's and 1980's had their inner demon angst.

Here in 2011 we have Zombie's galore. You know zombies, the creatures risen from the dead bent on eating the brains of normal Americans. They dress funny and shuffle along like geriatric patients in search of prunes. They cannot be stopped in their mindless pursuit of their goal. They will do anything to get what they want.

Today we have the Tea Party. To them people with brains are the enemy. They love to play dress up. A lot of them are of advanced age. They mindlessly pursue money. They want to infect you with their ideology. They will do anything to get what they want.

Poison Tea Grandpa?

People who worship only golden idols, today known as money, want to turn the rest of Americans into Frankenstein soul-less monsters they themselves are. One needs only to watch the Republican debates to see and hear the gollums shout and cheer when a candidate throws out his chest and says how proud he is to have sent hundreds of people to be executed. They find money to be so holy, such a sacrament, that they would shut off life support for comatose patients to save a buck. They have already voted to sacrifice Medicare on the health insurance industries altars all in the name of greed. Their leading presidential candidate wants to end Social Security by turning it over to the states. Why not just whip up a cheap batch of poison tea for everyone over the age of 60? Too bad Jim Jones isn't still around. He would probably be their nominee.

The Neanderthal versus Super Geek

There was a vast clamoring among the greedy. Their opponent was bloodied and weakened through their constant attacks. He was ripe for defeat. All the greedy had to do was to bring forth a credible savior from the ranks of the rich. They always brought their hero's up from the wealthy side of the tracks, who else would champion their cause? Trouble was this crusade had been taken over by the lunatic troglydyte element of their money first party. You know the ones with white or blue hair that like to play dress up and hang tea bags in odd places. The choice was now down to two. First there was the Neanderthal from the state, that wanted to secede from the union. He hated all things government, even Social Security. He said government was evil so naturally he wanted to head it.

The other candidate was more to the liking of the established greed mongers. He looked like Clark Kent. He had all the credentials. He had made his money the right way by taking over companies and firing workers. He said corporations were people too, especially the CEOs. The battle lines were drawn. Money flowed from the 527's like confetti. Super Geek capered gleefully while they Neanderthal inhaled and exhaled heavily through his mouth making grunting noises. This was going to be a close one. How could it not be with two such exceptionally qualified candidates.

A Media Enabled Armagedon

Now we all know that right wing radio and television have really put the crazy into politics in a major way. Republicans have a list of candidates that don't believe in global warming, evolution, raising taxes on the wealthy, or that the world is over 4 billion years old. You have a bunch of blue haired old people running around playing dress-up, that now represent the party of Abraham Lincoln. Republicans have gone from the Gettysburg Address to "Brownie you're doing a heck of a job." All but maybe 3 or 4 of the Republicans in Congress have not only signed on to a pledge never to raise taxes, but also a budget that will end Medicare as we know it. Where is the objective reporting that should point out just how insane the party of Lincoln has become? Don't get me wrong, I watch MSNBC all the time but it really seems to me that a lot of the arguments being raised are just to cause a reaction and boost ratings. If some nut is running around naked with a loaded gun, do you point out he is a nut with a loaded gun or do you ask him to run back your way so you can get better footage.

Here Comes the Savior Again!

What is with Texas? Is Locoweed part of the pre-natal diet? Does the prolonged drought (obviously not caused by global warming) destroy brain cells? What is bringing about another religious crusade to put an anti-science , anti Social Security, anti Federal Reserve Apostle in the white house. Please Texas, take him back and secede from the union. We will be glad to let you go. You folks there might like living like a third world country but the rest of us don't. We don't want another bible thumping creationist taking us back to the 18th century. Look, secede from the union and sell us your oil. Of course you won't be able to balance your budget using stimulus money like you just did but what the hell. People up north don't want blowhards leading our country anymore. Listen, if you do secede you can take all the mega-rich people spread throughout the rest of the country with you. Please secede, we will get along just fine without you.

The Republican Manchurian Candidates

Remember the movie and its remake the Manchurian Candidate? Prisoners during the Korean war were subjected to brain washing and then put in high places of government to bring down the United States from the inside. What did Michelle Bachman say was her reason to become an IRS Lawyer? When obedience to her husband didn't play well she said she was destroying the beast from the inside. When the Grover Norquist washed Republican presidential candidates were asked if they would accept a 10 to 1 ratio of cuts to revenue, they being the good brainwashed Norquist sheep that they are, all said no. What does this tell the American voter? Without question it tells you that if Republicans gain complete control of government, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid if not made extinct will become play things of Wall Street. This is a simple fact all the Republicans that signed on to Paul Ryans budget and Grover Norquists pledge will try and end Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. If you despise these programs along with teachers, science, unions, the poor and the elderly vote Republican.

Republican Compassion...The Law of the Jungle

We already know the only thing that matters to a Republican is his or her money and how to get yours. Being tools of corporations and insurance companies, their health care plan for average and poor Americans is as follows: First it is hoping doctors without borders will come back once or twice a year. Second, don't get sick. Third, die early. Talk about death panels, their policies are death panels!

Republicans will not raise taxes on the wealthy. They don't mind the less fortunate picking up the tab for them, through higher costs for everything, but they have taken a solemn pledge to defend the wallets for their rich contributors. See the point is they have enough money to take care of themselves. They want even more of your money so their kids Heather and Josh can have new sports cars while driving their drunken friends around college. Republicans scream class warfare when you even mention the inequities. Of course it's class warfare. Their supposed upper class has been waging it on the rest of us since money was invented.

REPUBLICAN RULE....LAW OF THE JUNGLE.

Tea Party Clown Car Drives America OFF Cliff

One searingly hot summer day, as Tea Party Clowns sat around making fun of global warming, their leader, Eric the Head got an idea. Eric looked around at his weird friends, as their make-up ran down their faces in the heat. "I've got it," he shouted! Tea Party Clowns can only shout. "Instead of shrinking the government to where we can drown it in a bath tub, let's financially drive it off a cliff killing it once and for all!"

This caused quite an uproar. Michelle jumped up with a scary distant look on her face and screamed "Death to all things government!" The Gomer Pyle look-a-like clown Paul shouted "Stick it to old sick people!"

Orin, the oldest, grumpiest clown bellowed, "it's time poor people quit whining and paid their share!" Another clown with a crew cut and long side burns could only drool at the prospect of finally killing social security.

They all piled into the tiny Chinese financed elephant mobile, the one without pollution controls, and headed for the Grand Chasm. As they sped toward oblivion they realized that they too were in the rampaging elephant mobile as it was about to make it's plunge. They looked at one another and laughed maniacally. They just didn't care.

From High Hopes on the Stump...To Nothing More Than a Republican Chump

Remember when the country was so euphoric over finally getting rid of the village idiot from Texas? The American people thought they now had elected someone who would stand up to Republican bullies and bring fairness back to America.

Fat Chance!

Political Superman changed into Superwimp, as fast as you could say phone booth. Just like John Kerry he let Republicans set the agenda. He didn't refute their fiscal nonsense. He let Republicans gain a majority in the House of Representatives by being as solid as milk toast. Republicans have said they plan to carve up Medicare and give it to their insurance company buddies. What does the mighty Rock Obama say to that? Ok. Republicans say grandma and grandpa are destroying this country and Social Security and Medicaid are the cause and must be slashed. Rock Obama firmly plants his feet in quicksand and says, OK, Enough! Let Bernie Sanders run as a 3rd party independent. I'll vote for him....

10 Years of Failed Welfare for the Rich

You have to give that simpleton from Texas credit for at least being able to follow the plan. The plan of course was the systematic destruction of the social compact and the fire-sale of the American economy to the greed mongers. We have had 10 years of tax cuts for the wealthy. Where are all the jobs? Ten years of failed policy is enough. Republicans say you can't raise taxes on the people who create jobs. What jobs? Jobs for the 61 cent an hour Chinese worker? Under tax welfare for the wealthy we, as a nation, have lost 3 million manufacturing jobs.

Let's just look at how the plan continues. First deny Obama a second term by manufacturing a chosen debt ceiling crisis. Destroy the economy for all but the wealthy. Give more tax breaks to companies sending jobs overseas. Crush all union. Make it almost impossible to register to vote. Save Medicare and Social Security by destroying them first then let insurance companies and Wall Street carve them up and swallow the pieces. Hope all you rednecks who vote Republican like fast food jobs or cutting lawns because that's all that will be left soon.

The Age of the Poison Tea Bag

Floride in the drinking water causes cancer. We didn't land on the moon. John Kerry was a chicken, not a hero. Global warning is a myth. President Obama wasn't born here. Defaulting on the national deb is no big deal. Poor people and the elderly are the one to blame for our problems...

ENOUGH.

It is time to stand up to the bullies that are systematically destroying America. Just because they have all the money doesn't mean they can't be defeated. There are far more real Americans than these fake, patriotic claiming, greed mongers. Don't be fooled by insidious lies and propaganda being spread by television and radio stations bought and paid for by right wing zealots. Instead of clinging to some little prejudice deep in your soul, open your eyes and gaze at what is really going on. The Fat Cats have chosen this current crisis to destroy Medicare and social security because they have always hated them. Don't be fooled by their rationale that they're only trying to fix Medicare. The rich need to pony up. If these people gain any more members, or god forbid the presidency, get ready to live in third world America.

It's Not a Revenue Problem...A Republican Fairy Tale

Once upon a time long ago, a very smart but skirt chasing king taxed his people in a way that led to prosperity for all. The treasury even had a surplus. The kings only problem was with the royal trousers. He couldn't keep them up. His peccadilloes led to the election of a small minded king named George the second. A lot of King George's subjects called him George the lesser or George the venal. This was never done to his face of course because George the simple had many spies and loved to tap phones. Now George the Appointed always listened to his advisers. There was the big Dick and Grover "the Drown the Government Rover." His advisers told George the Gullible that the only way to stay in power was to use fear, start wars, and take all the money from the poor and middle class peasants and give it to the rich. George the Selfish did this with great gusto for eight years. He plunged his kingdom into the red by first cutting taxes on the rich and starting two wars. After eight years, George the lame was put out to pasture cutting brush. The people, with hope in their hearts elected a new King. He was smart. He had vision. He was inept. He soon lost his mandate and found it was easier to compromise and give in than hold his ground. He really wants another four years. Doesn't look good.

The Choice Has Never Been Clearer

The clarity of political party choice has never been easier to make. Republicans have decided to double down and, as poker players say, it's all in. If you are rich and want to get even richer, the Republican party is the only one for you. If the only thing you worship is money, the Republican party is the one for you. If you make money speculating on gasoline prices, the Republican party is for you. If you will not stand for any form of disagreement with your positions, the Republican party is for you. If you think it should be harder for people to register to vote, the Republican party is the one for you. If you would rather plunge the world into a depression than raise taxes on the rich, the Republican party is for you. If you want to go back to the days of the robber barons and no child labor laws, the Republican party is the one for you. If you believe the whole world should be just yours for the taking....you get the idea.

How the Rich Tax the Poor and Make Them Like It

What a con job by the rich foisted upon the rest of us. They have made taxes a dirty word. They have taken the Grover Norquist pledge to never raise taxes on their own kind. Let's just see how the rich fat cats tax the rest of us. First whenever Republicans hold any office instead of paying a fair share in taxes they try to bankrupt any government they represent. State, federal, local, it doesn't matter. Look at George Bush and his record. Two unfunded wars and an unfunded insruance company bonanza in the disguise of drug coverage. These actions alone with massive tax cuts for the wealthy have socially engineered a starve the poor, feed the obscenely rich way of life. Get this one oil tax subsidies for the riches companies in the world need to continue because cutting them off would be a Norquist no no tax. Isn't making a politician sign a pledge not to consider an option of their job blackmail, and against the law? Cigar smoking fat cat commentators on right wing radio and television then pick up the mantle of the rich and run with it. The stupid American voter can embrace this garbage and his own prejudices then votes fat cat.

Oh I'm Glad I'm Not a Disappointing Weiner

Ever notice when Democrats finally get someone in a position, who fights for us, and tells it like it is, he ends up in a compromising position? A president like Bill Clinton who balanced the budget and created millions of jobs felled by a blue dress. His little ego trip down deep throat lane gave us George Bush. Now this latest blow-up cripples us once again and paints Democrats as silly sex fantasy driven ego-maniacs. The worst part about these scandals is that the perpetrators are just plain stupid. When you are the most powerful man in the world you do not trust a 21 year old woman with your libido and expect her not to tell someone. What a Duh! Now we have this Congressman who ends up trusting women on the internet with explicit photo's of himself. This goes beyond stupid. Enough of Dumb and Dumber. You both committed intentional political suicide because of your tremendous ego's. All the good you accomplished and could yet accomplish has been negated by your basest desires. Democrats who wish to do good deserve better. Keep it in your pants!

Shared Prosperity...A Republican Oxymoron

Don't you just love Republican oxymorons?

You know, like Ronald Reagans peacekeeper missel. The best one though is shared prosperity. When an oil executive was asked at a recent Congressional hearing if he believed in shared sacrifice and he said without blinking an eye that he believed in shared prosperity. Republicans don't share, they hoard. Oil and gas companies are setting world records for profits yet Republicans won't stop subsidizing them. How is charging $4.00 more for gasoline sharing prosperity? The only thing they are sharing is their let them eat cake mentality. One of my blogs in January stated what Republicans would do now that they held the house. They would cry broke and the oil and gas industry would kill any economic recovery through skyrocketing prices. I didn't have to be a Nostra-dumb-ass to see this coming. As the economy tanks do to shared Republican prosperity look for elephant like bellows of jobs, jobs, jobs again. You know the same jobs Republicans sent permanently overseas.

Definite Differences

Let's list the real differences between Republicans and Democrats:

First, what is the most important thing for a Democrat? People.

What is the most important thing for a Republican? Money.

Democrats want to make things better for people. Republicans want to make money on everything and not give any of it away. Democrats are for public schools and a good education for all. Republicans are for charter and private schools because they make money for their campaign contributors. Republicans want health insurance companies to control health care because they contribute to their campaigns. Democrats enacted Medicare and Social Security with moderate Republican help back in the day. Republicans want to get rid of both programs and let the market place rule old age. Republicans hate unions. Democrats recognize the right to organize and bargain.

If you worship at the altar of greed, vote Republican.

If you care about others, Vote Democrat.

Starve the Beast...Feed the Rich

I can only hope that it is finally becoming clear to Americans that the ultimate Republican goal is to starve the government and feed the bloated gluttonous rich. Republicans have finally, blatantly showed their hand. They are on record voting to de-fund Medicare and make the elderly buy insurance from some of the same companies that contribute to the Republican candidates. Right wing governors have destroyed workers rights while giving tax exemptions to business contributers. They want to give public tax money to charter schools so the people that run them will donate to their campaigns.

Grover Norquist who advised presidents Reagan and Busch allegedly said he wants to reduce the size of government so he can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub. He has gotten almost all Republican congressmen to sign a "no tax for any reason" pledge. He is not an elected official yet, he has set the policy in motion to de-fund the government through deficits. The Republican rich have taken over this country. They don't even want to get rid of tax breaks for the richest companies in the world, the oil and gas industries. They want to starve every social program they can to give obscenely wealthy people even more. I say lets put them on a diet!

The Death of an Altruistic Nation

Once upon a time long ago...there was a wonderful country where people cared about and for each other. The ruler of this land was elected by the people every four years. The ruler usually loved his country even more than the people did, and he would do anything he could to maintain peace and prosperity for all. One frigid winter day the frozen ground cracked and released a vile imp from the Netherworld. In the bowels of the Netherworld only two things mattered. They were money and power. The Imp saw the joy and happiness of the people and he vowed to destroy it. He quickly set out to corrupt the leaders of the political powers that governed the land. He soon found that only the leaders of one of the parties would really listen to his siren song of greed and power. His first confused confidant was a b-actor with a pleasant speaking style. This man actually headed a union at one time. The Imp was so successful with his indoctrination that soon the aged thespian was firing union members and cotting taxes for rich people. This was only the start. The Imp blasted his message of greed and power over the radio and television air waves. Soon bloated gas bags smoking cigars and spewing hate were the norm. Now to get rid of old people.

Some Wonderful Things Republicans Have Given Us

Step back a moment and look at a few of the wonderful things Republicans have done and are doing for America. Reagan started the whole tax cuts for the rich ideology. He said a rising tide lifts all boats. Sort of like the tsunami that hit Japan. So for 30 years, Republicans have cut taxes for the wealthy. Look at the results this brilliant idea has wrought. Republicans want the market place to rule the economy. How's your health care costs doing? How does it feel when you put gas in your car? Now when Democrats want to take back the billions from the obscenely rich oil and gas industry, the Republicans call it a tax increase. All Republicans in Congress have taken the Norquist pledge never to raise taxes. This means Medicare, Social Security, and anything beneficial to those making under $250K has to go. Remember when Republicans screamed jobs, jobs, jobs!? The only jobs Republicans create are for their relatives and the Chinese. So if your guns and prejudices mean more to you than having a job and feeding your family, vote Republican.

Doctor Heckle and Mr. Hyde

This age we live in is inexplicable. We have gone from landing on the moon to trying to discredit an American president by challenging his birth place. If something doesn't fit our world view then we just ignore reality and replace it with our own perception of how things exist. Facts no longer matter. Shout down the truth. Ideology is everything. Look at the recent death of Osama Bin Laden. President Obama made it one of his priorities and followed through. Republicans immediately started the stupid machine up with claims that torture and ex-president Bush were responsible for Bin Ladens death. The same president Bush that repeatedly said he wasn't concerned about the where-a-bouts of Bin Laden. He's on tape saying it multiple times. Doesn't matter. Facts don't matter. Spin matters. We have entered an age of de-evolution. Intelligent people are scorned while populist windbags with red neck values are elevated. If you repeat a lie enough times people with IQs that match the number of teeth they have will believe it. This is how rich Fat Cat Republicans stay in power.

The Master Plan Isn't Working!

The Fat Cat's were in a panic. They had bared their very souls in public. First their governors passed anti-union legislation. Then their congressmen voted almost unanimously to kill Medicare and cut tax rates for the rich another 10%. The people, who were lulled into apathy by right wing television and radio, were waking up. Even 70% of Tea Party members wanted Medicare left alone. Their congressmen were being dissed at town hall meetings. The birther lie, even after finding a new champion, was being discredited in the national media. Were their mindless sheep starting to leave the flock? What to do?

They finally settled down and regrouped. The oil and gas industry was still in their pocket. After all, didn't they give them billions in subsidies and call for billions more to be given to them? Fat Cats are nothing if not sly. Let gas prices go to $5.00 a gallon. This alone will kill any recovery. Then find a way to blame Obama for it. Perfect. Wall Street speculators are on board. Time to get the Stupid Machine cranked up and spread the lie.

Here Comes the End of Medicare

"Here Comes the End of Medicare"

(Sung to the tune of Here Comes Peter Cottontail)

Here comes the end of Medicare

Hoppin' down the congressional halls.

Hippity Hoppity

The Republicans are on their way.

Bringing every Tea Party member,

A chance to turn Medicare into a burnt out ember.

Legislation to make their Easter bright and gay.

There are massive cuts for everything,

Misery for the poor is what they bring.

The end of the social contract

Is only weeks away

They plan to drive the country into a ditch,

Ruin the nation except for the rich.

Lying and exaggeration is the only way they play,

Because money is king they must have their way.

Hippity Hoppity the Republicans are on their way.

Its's time to Soak the Rich Again

It's Time to Soak the Rich Again
(Sung to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb)

It's time to soak the rich again

rich again, rich again,

It's time to soak the rich again

and make them pay their share.

They've had it made for far too long

far too long, far too long,

They've had it made for far too long

and the time has come to be fair.

We've bailed them out time and again,

time and again, time and again,

We've bailed them out time and again,

and they've bid their money we don't know where.

They've used the money to buy congressmen

congressmen, congressmen,

They've used the money to buy congressmen

and laid the country bare.

The rich hate the poor and middle class

middle class, middle class,

The rich hate the poor and middle class

all in the name of class warfare.

Their greed and sins know no bounds,

know no bounds, know no bounds,

Their greed and sins know no bounds

and now they plan to destroy medicare.

The Ignorant Sheep Soldiers of Class Warfare

The class war the rich fat cat has successfully waged against America could not be won without the mindless foot soldiers. There are not enough rich people in America to vote to maintain power by themselves. They need the ignorant to vote against their own self interests and vote for the interests of the wealthy. Wealthy Republicans know how to divide and conquer the ignorant and gullible. First decide what prejudice you want to exploit. Gays want to destroy the sanctity of marriage. The Democrats want to take away your guns. Teachers and unions are the reason we are going broke. Obama wasn't born here. Now these divisive tactics appeal to the older and middle-aged mindless. How do you get the younger crowd to swing your way? No need to worry, the self centered young are too worried about a good place in line for the next cell phone incarnation to vote or pay attention. Let the music of popular culture pied piper them into oblivion. If you bring up an issue of relevance to their daily lives, they say they don't like to think about that stuff, it's too depressing. Too depressing? If that is your reality then just sit back and wait for the next form of electronic addition to soothe you.

Real Americans Need to Fight Back

There are so few real American politicians anymore. Sherrod Brown is one and Tom Harkin is another. I was so hopeful Barrack Obama would be one but now it is clear he is not fighting for the common man, only for re-election. He's caved into the Republican greed mongers and thinks he can win another 4 years by the classic Democrat mistake. Becoming Republican lite. Other than Brown and Harkin, Democrat politicians have once again gone in for wholesale castration. Why do Democrats let right wing zealots backed by Republican millionaires get the agenda. Democrats finally start to reform the health care travesty and the greed mongers vow to kill it. Phony Rich Republican politicians become governors on the false mantra of jobs, jobs, jobs and then break the unions. Phony Rich Republican Congressmen don't care one little bit about America or Americans, they only care about power and money. Their allies are the health care industry, CEO's who wend all our jobs to Communist China and radio and TV moguls who promote their greed filled agenda. It is time for the rich to quit crying about taxes and to pay their fair share. Tax the rich at 60% or higher and fine CEO's for chasing the currency in Communist China.

The Only Thing America Makes Anymore is the Rich Richer!

Whatever happened to the don't trust authority attitude of the 60's? Now it seems the prevailing attitude is if it's on the radio or television it must be true. What happened to healthy sceptacism? Some right wing gas bag spouts forth an outrageous lie and his mindless sheep brained followers repeat it ad-nauseum. The most incredible lie these gas bags have convinced the sheep of is, that it is wrong for the rich to pay their fair share. Rich people do not care about you. That is the absolute truth. The only thing they want from you is that you vote Republican. If you think the fat gas bags on radio or TV are just like you, try and walk into one of their country clubs. They pay more in greens fees than you make in a year. They have paid health care and have convinced you to vote against it for yourself. They help send most of the manufacturing jobs to Communist China because it saves them from giving you anything. The rich fat cat Republican wants the country to go back to the days of the robber barons. I think we are already there. If you are a mindless, one issue sheep, you are dumber than a bag of hammers. Abortion, gun control, taxes, and gay marriage are the ways the Fat Cat divides and conquers. Take a good look at the Tea Party members. They are mostly greedy Republicans whose only concern is their money.

The 2012 End Times Prophecy

By now most people have heard a little something about the ancient predictions, that in the afternoon of December 21, 2012, the world as we know it will end. Recent mass animal die offs and the rash of earthquakes in Haiti, South America, New Zealand, and Japan make these predictions seem more credible. Speculation as to how this will happen tends to run from solar flares, meteor strikes, volcanic eruptions, to global warming. What if the planet earth, in trying to get rid of it's most destructive parasite, is only the start of the process? What if mankind has been genetically programed to destroy itself? Every 50 years or so man starts some form of horrendous war in motion. The Second World War alone killed over 54 million people. Not to mention the First World War, The Korean Conflict, Vietnam, Cambodia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Let's face it, war is truly the ultimate abomination. Man gripped in this form of insanity inflicts terrible brutality upon his fellow man and even women and children. Think of the horror weapons cause. Mankind wallows in the creation of destruction. Think about the terror flamethrowers, cluster bombs, land mines shaped like toys, biological agents, poison gas, and the ultimate nuclear weapons cause.

Now take a look at the Middle East. Look at some of the African nations, look at how the rich in this country are cannibalizing the poor. Look at the hate spewed forth daily from radio and television stations with an agenda driven by false propaganda. Is it the same form of genetically encoded madness? Maybe the 2012 people are right. Something has definitely started to happen. Maybe the Neanderthals didn't die out. Maybe they are rising up to destroy the Cro-Magnums by spreading their intolerant stupidity.

You Know You've Been Duped by the Right Wing if...

Take a little test to see if you have become a mindless sheep following the right wing by answering the following questions:

1. Do you find it funny when a right wing commentator makes fun of a seriously disabled person?

2. Are you jealous of people in a union because they get some form of health care and you have to wait for Doctors Without Borders to come back to America

3. Do you believe the current President of the United States was born and raise in Africa?

4. Do you believe that the rich, who pay more in greens fees than you make in a year, need more tax breaks?

5. Do you think collective bargaining should be abolished because you believe it means people in unions just want to collect your money?

6. Do you think letting guns on college campuses is a good idea?

7. Do you believe because a Republican candidate who dresses up in blue jeans and eats pork rinds is just like you?

8. Is it proper in your opinion to send all our manufacturing jobs to Communist China so Republican CEO's can buy more golden toilet seats?

9. Do you believe all taxes are bad? Even the ones that provide services for you such as police and firemen?

10. Do you really believe Republican Politicians care about you?

What the Greedy Rich Really Want

It is always puzzling to me why when people are so rich, that they never have to worry about anything, they worry about the little piece of pie crust the poor have. It is obscene the way rich people want to create a Republican Monarchy and use the comfortable prejudices of the common man to get it. The Republican rich, and rich people in general, feel that Democrats and Democracy should be abolished. Look at any Democrat President in the last 30 years and how they have not been allowed to effectively govern because of the side show antics of the extreme right. When Bill Clinton became president he created a budgetary surplus and the Republican Rich started up a bogus Whitewater scandal investigation. Right wing preachers even jumped on the band wagon and suggested the Clintons were covering up murders. When this wasn't enough, Rich Republicans impeached President Clinton for a sexual dalliance. Fast forward to President Obama's term, Rich republicans through their television and radio right-wing zealots have effectively taken health care reform back to hoping Doctors with Borders will come in once and a while. This not being enough, they challenge the citizenship of our President. Rich Republicans feel only they have the right to rule. They gain power by appealing to the most venal prejudices of the common man. Soon we won't have elections, only coronations.

Why the Hatred by Rich Republicans Towards Working Class Americans?

Let's face it. The hatred Rich Republicans have for the working class American is the reason the country is in such dire economic straits. Rich Republicans disdain even their own mindless working class supporters. Being masters of misdirection, Rich Republicans using right wing radio and television have convinced a vast percentage of average workers, to vote against their own self interest and vote Republican. Rich Republicans have been getting tax breaks for 30 years. The only jobs to trickle down to the average worker are the ones given to the Communist Chinese by Rich Republican CEO's.

The time has come to correct the inequities. It is time to tax the BeeJesus out of Rich Republicans and see if they move to China. The Rich Republican health care plan, Doctors without Borders, has already been tried. Like tax breaks for the Rich Republicans it doesn't work. Hardworking union members are not the problem. Bailed out Wall Street Rich Republican bankers are the problem. Competition with Communist Chinese workers who make pennies an hour is not the answer. Investing in America is the answer. CEO's who make 500 times their workers salary are the problem. The Rich Republican has ruined this country and is now trying to finish the job. If you are some ignorant easily misled average Joe, and you are going to continue to vote for Rich Republicans you will reap what you sow. Too bad the rest of us have to pay the price.

Union Busting Republican Style

Well Republicans finally let the average Americans know how they feel about them. It took a trickster to get an honest response from a Republican governor. All the right wing gas bags on radio and television cannot put humpty Republicans back together again. Busting unions and ridding the political landscape of Democrats, not saving money or creating jobs, are the main goals of the greed mongers. Why are Republicans so Anti-American? Why is the Republican response to health care reform Doctors without Borders? I know this might sound far fetched but what if the Republican Party has been taken over by the Communist Chinese? Ask yourself why all the manufacturing jobs are sent to China by Republican businessmen. How come the governor of Ohio wants the communist Chinese to invest in Ohio? Let's look at the Republicans favorite country, communist China. They don't have unions. They have incredibly low wages and unsafe working conditions. Company compounds house workers on site. Sounds like a distortion of a John Denver song, Republican heaven, Communist China. Republicans may not be communists because the only master they truly serve is money.

The Death of the American Dream

I believe that like everyone who pontificates writing a blog, my basic premise is correct. The overly wealthy have seized this country in a death grip. The average American doesn't have a chance any longer. Right wing propaganda has hypnotized the mentally lazy into voting against themselves and their own best interests. Middle America no longer exists. Young people, for the most part, would rather line up to buy the next electronic form of Soma and play video games, then open their eyes to the fact that they have become the lowest form of pawns. They tolerate jobs without benefits or union representation and spend their minimum wages on escapism in the forms of beer, drugs, and Iphones. They get hooked on credit cards because like the self-centered song lyrics proclaim "I want it all and I want it now." Our government representatives have sold us out to the greed mongers. They don't represent us only the monied interests that get them re-elected. The jobs have all been shipped out to China. Look at any product at any store and see where it was made. The Fat Cats have won. Because Americans are intellectually lazy and morally greedy, they will keep electing people who fool them with misdirection about guns, gays, abortion, health care, death panels, and whatever lies that work. There's no hope.

Jobs Jobs Jobs

The main focus of the Fleeting American attention span is now aimed towards the realization that livable wage jobs are a thing of the past. Back in the day companies took care of their employees and employees were loyal to their company. The CEO's of major companies are now obscenely rewarded for outsourcing jobs to China and cutting workers and benefits. When companies go public, they sell their souls to the greed mongers. Workers no longer matter only share price matters.

If the pursuit of greed is the driving force of todays CEO and board of directors, then the only outcome is the demise of the American worker and his family. They say competition is the answer. Americans can't work and survive on Chinese wages. Why do Americans tolerate millions for non-productive CEO's and wages not fit for part time high school help? The pigs have been too long at the trough. All Americans are equal except when it comes to business.

Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest

The above articles title describes the American voting public as a whole. Eight years of tax cuts for the rich created millions of jobs, for the Chinese only. Health care under Republican eight year role, was the most expensive in the world. Millions of Americans without health insurance, because their jobs went to China, had to wait for Doctors without Borders to treat them. Two war fronts were opened up and their cost was kept off the books. Bankers raped and pillaged the country into near financial ruin. Americans bailed out the bankers who promptly gave their employees million dollar bonuses.
Enter the Democrats for two years. They finally address health care and pass a monumental bill. After being spit on by the tea baggers.
The dumb, dumber, and dumbest voters in the world buy the propaganda regurgitated over the air waves by right wing zealots and put the pillagers right back in office.

The States Right to go Broke

The Fat Cat agenda to starve the government is now in full swing. They want to cut 100 billion dollars across the board. The only exceptions would be defense and social security. Instead of the rich paying their fair share of taxes they want everyone else to suffer. These greed mongers just voted to extend tax cuts for the one percent of wealthiest Americans. It is incredible to think that school children will have to suffer so rich Fat Cats can buy some more useless trinkets. These robber barons don't provide jobs with their extra cash, they just buy new foreign sports cars so their kids can drive to private school in style. They want the states to pick up the slack in revenue. My state Ohio just voted in an anti-union, anti-poor, governor whose main way to get money is to rape the environment with hydrolic fracturing. Ohio has been so mismanaged by Republicans screaming privatize everything that we will never make a comeback. This is all due to a easily led stupid voting public.
