The Republican Debates, The President’s Solutions, And The Need for A Progressive Alternative

Yep, he's part of the problem!

Besides, He'll NEVER be president.

For one very important reason. He's a John Bircher.

It's a classic case of them deciding to go with their principle.

That's fine...so long as the rest of us don't have to live with their choice. But we did.

If Gore had won, I don't think we would have gone to war with Iraq. We would not have had to borrow nearly a trillion dollars from China to GIVE to the wealthy.

The meltdown that happened September 2008 would have been treated differently..IF it had happened at all!

There ARE repercussions for actions. I don't care what you do if it does not affect me.

But when people vote Third Party and it DOES affect me both financially and with my lost freedoms...i.e., that damn Patriot Act, then I have a BIG problem with that.

And what Ralph Nader did in 2000, he did again in 2004!

The number of votes were mere hundreds in the total count between Gore and Bush. Nearly one hundred thousand voted for Nader. If he had not run, those votes would either have gone for Gore or had not been made in the first place.

Nader cost us, the working class DEARLY.

Think what life would have been like today if George W. Bush had not become president.

So, here we have the same bullshit about to happen all over again! Just because some will vote their conscience and if a Republican walks into the Oval Office with the idea he has a Mandate to kill SS and MediCare AND reduce UI to a few weeks, the EPA is shut down, public education is closed down, the FDA and USDA is shuttered (and by this action unsafe food finds its way to your plate), OSHA is done away with and you will work in an unsafe environment, air - water and the soil can be polluted because there's no one to police the Koch Brothers and them spewing and spilling waste into each, the Post Offices are closed, no regulations of any kind to speak of, offshore drilling in deep water and another Gulf oil spill happens or off the coast of Florida or California, bridges and roads fall in or down...then what are you Third Party voters going to tell yourselves and the rest of us who will have to live with what those that did throw away their vote by not voting for the Democrat?

OOOPS...sorry about that?

THINK people...don't any of you see what the Republican governors are doing in those "Red States"? Like here in Ohio? Or Wisconsin? Florida? Michigan? Texas? South Carolina? Need I go on?

Do you believe that a Republican president will be any better? Public sector unions can kiss their uncollective, unbargaining asses goodbye!

As we, the working middle AND the poor will be doing, too!

But I'm NOT worried about myself. I'm retired and have my nest egg intact. I am self-sufficient. I'm prepared. I've got some jingle in my pockets.

But I AM worried about all my brothers and sisters that aren't! What are they going to do?

What are YOU going to do? I'd say, "Get ready! It's going to be a very bumpy ride!".

The Declaration of Human Rights has a nice ring to it, too!

What's the difference between a Democrat and a Republican....hmmm...watch the video and find out.

LOL! Brown shirts, brown jackboots, brownish eyeballs - stained from the shit that fills up to them, brown-nosed from always being up each others' asses, and last but certainly not least, brown streak-marked panties from getting excited when Ronald Reagan's name is spoken!

My father taught me this valuable lesson of life, "When in doubt, sound it out."

It's worked so far!

There once was a Negus in Vegas
He saw the world as his bodegas
As he argued with Perry from Texas
How to deflate the tax issues degas
He loudly explained his plan 9-9-9
As Perry cried out "Nein, nein, nein!"
B_B

P.S. This was my most challenging poem to write using words that rhymed with Vegas...I believe all that's left are two and they're the pronouns "noriegas, ortegas"! I couldn't "fit" them in, though, no matter how hard I tried! It's the same degree of difficulty as the word "orange", I suppose.

LMAO!

Can I live in a Yellow Submarine if I do?

A classic case of SOL?

LMSAO!

Especially since the Koch Brothers have their hands DEEP into the Republican/Tea Party agendas, using subterfuge to hide behind who knows how many of these "candidates", it's the worst kind of dishonesty the Party has ever used to win an election! OOPS! I meant BUY an election!

Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina couldn't buy their "seats" they wanted, but Rick Scott sure did!

Think about all the millionaires in the Rethuglican Party that are running! And Herman Kain, er Cain, is the leader of the pack in the amount of money that he's been bought and paid for in Koch Klown Kash!

If only people knew how insidious the Koch Brothers' money is invested in the run-up to the presidential election they would not believe it!

(Edited for clarity)

Here is a video that is a fine an example of how those that don't want her speaking the truth will say about her!

People like Ron Paul try their best to belittle her wealth of knowledge! And your word "demonize" is so apropos!

And Ron Paul questioning HER knowledge of what's what is so laughable since the turd she expelled out her rear orifice this morning has more credentials with regards knowing financial accounting and economics than Ron Paul has in his ENTIRE body!

Imagine, him thinking he knows more than her on the subject of high finance! She's taught at Harvard, and every university from California to Boston!

PREPOSTEROUS!

"I watch them to keep track of the bastards..."

It's advisable to keep our "enemies" very close! Which is why I think Mr. Obama chose the Wall Street "insiders" like Timothy Geithner and Ben Bernanke! Who else can explain what the "fat cats" of Wall Street did to get us into the hole we are in financially now! If you want to learn to be a car thief or safecracker, who would you go to to learn their "trades"? Not anyone who hasn't been "taught" by the "experts" of Wall Street, right?

But back to the clowns of conservatism. I have wondered why the Republican Party has this bunch running for their candidate and came to the conclusion that there are the BEST of the Best.
The Crème de la Crème of their Party! And if that's the case, I'd HATE to see the bottom of their barrel.

If cream rises to the top and they are that cream, can you imagine what makes up their buttermilk? And, FYI, there is NO butter NOR milk in buttermilk!

It's the refuse of what's left! Many folks labor under the misconception that buttermilk is basically a buttery, high-fat milk. This couldn't be farther from the truth. You might be surprised to learn there is no butter, per se, in buttermilk, and it is lower in fat than sweet milk. Old-fashioned homemade buttermilk is the slightly sour, RESIDUAL LIQUID which remains after butter is churned, ie. milk from the butter or buttermilk!

And that is what's left of the Republican Party after these eight were "separated" from the rest!

And what is MOST shocking of all to me is that one of these yokels could possibly be thought of as competition against Mr. Obama!

IMPOSSIBLE....but true...when you take into consideration of the intelligence quotient of the average conservative voter and who they choose to vote for!

"I view the world from "Catholic born" eyes and have tried to get them off ever since!"

FYI...in my book?

You've succeeded!

Congratulations, my online friend!

I think Mr. Obama got all he could out of Larry Summers and then cut him loose!

Either that, or Larry Summers fought tooth and nail against divulging the "secrets" and decided to vamoose!

What made me sick to my stomach was how Allen Greenspan took all that money and got out of Dodge RIGHT before the shitbomb hit that financial fan!

Then Hankypoo Paulson came in, passed out all OUR money to the banks, both the U.S. AND foreign banks, took HIS big cut and got on his belly and crawled back in his snake pit! I don't want to remind myself of all the money he walked away with for a few month's worth of playing Santa Clause with the T.A.R.P. Plan, which I renamed the TRAP Plan....Trillion-dollar Ripoff Asset Program! And even though the amount was for 700 Billion Dollars, the government had to BORROW the money from China and Japan and by the time the "loan" is paid off it WILL COST a Trillion Dollars!

This video best explains a complicated situation that took place three years ago just last month!

I say the Democrats and We The People were hornswoggled! Hoodwinked!

Even though the "experts" say it would have destroyed the banking system, maybe it should have gone down and had been taken over by the government and all that money distributed to all of us!

And the Rethuglicans talk about how they are against "spreading wealth"...they sure did a fine job spreading it with the banks!

And the Rethuglicans talk about how they are against welfare...unless it's for the banks.

And the Rethuglicans talk about how they are against extending UI checks for those who have NOTHING when those checks they worked for and then stopped...they spent their pension funds, lost their homes and yet the Rethuglicans extend their hand out to corporations to give them whatever they ask for...but most of the time the greedy SOBs don't even have to ask since the Rethugs willingly give it all to the banksters knowing it's what they want!

SICKENING!
