If I hear another, skin flinted, helped to get us in this mess, Republican says that the American people reject something they want to derail, I feel my head is on the verge of exploding! Just because you SAY the American people are behind us to justify their quest to kill all things Obama, does not  mean that it is true. The Republican Party once stood for something. They did not have the mind set of  heartless, cruel, oppose at all costs everything that would help the American people, that I know. The once principled Republican party is now populated with Appalachian trail hiking, wide stance in a restroom having, liars, hypocrites,  and racists.

Is this not 2010 and this country still can’t get it together when it comes to race. Make no mistake their opposition at every turn is firmly rooted in covert and sometimes, overt racism. America voted for an African American man to be our leader and their base of scared white people simply can not accept it. He must have been born in Kenya. He must be a Muslim radical. He has got to be stopped to take back “our” country.  When they say “our” country, they do not include the vanishing middle class, people of color, LGBT Americans, the working poor or anyone else who does not attend a Klan meeting.

Surely this can not be the country that America aspires to be. The Republican presidential campaign slogan was “Country First”. What an insidious euphemism for what they really meant. The once proud and respectable GOP has become a party that constantly uses fear to keep their base riled up and vocal. Come on America, surely you don’t buy in to the crap they are selling you. For me, when someone is trying to scare me, it shows me only the weakness of their assertions.

If America is to be the beacon of hope as in the golden years of the country, we have got to get rid of the mindset that “I am more important than the least of my brothers.” The “Don’t take my tax money to help anyone but me” mentality and mantra must be shouted down by The American people. The rational people who would dismiss that ideology.

I pray for the greatest country in the world to re-discover its greatness and potential. Lord knows we can use all the help we can get. What do you think?

Told you so!!!

I said it. The current leadership talks tough about the issues they have mistakenly wedded themselves to. By pandering to the lowest, meanest, most ugly fringe in our country, they have marginalized themselves to the precipice  of oblivion. They disrespected the American attention span and memory. They lied to all real Republicans by running on job creation in 2010. Using the anxiety most Americans feel about jobs they won huge gains in Congress and called it a mandate to pursue the fringe agenda of social issues.

They counted on the Democrats angering the Progressive base to win those seats. An excellent calculation on their part. In their arrogance, they took that win to be an endorsement of fringe agendas. If you campaign on jobs and pursue union busting, denial of abortions and women’s health services, cutting of education, cutting the Social Security benefits of our seniors, Medicare for our seniors, Medicaid for our poor, restriction of access to voting, you show yourselves to be what everyone already thought of you. You are out of touch and mean spirited snakes whose only purpose is political power and control so that you may serve your big monied donors. You have shown through your actions that you care nothing about the “The American People” you love to quote in front of every microphone.

You have had an axe to grind ever since the Nixon impeachment and have proven that you have no respect at all for the office of the presidency. You have made it your mission to attempt to destroy every Democrat who wins election to the White House. Instead of governing and statesmanship we get gang warfare. We get a bunch of tough talking bullies who would destroy how our president is viewed by running easily manipulated figureheads for the office and when a Democrat wins, make sure that any attempt to govern is met with a resounding NO. You care nothing for our country or it’s people. We are merely a means to your end of maintaining the economic chasm that exists between the haves and have nots.

You will not dare support anything that could help the country or it’s people because if you did and work was actually done, you may need to resort to actually defending what it is you are really about. You have become the party of the obscenely rich and the scourge of the middle class.

HEY MORONS!! IT WAS A ROBUST MIDDLE CLASS THAT MADE THIS COUNTRY THE ENVY OF THE WORLD!!

Has America diminished since the Nixon impeachment? You bet it has. You made sure of that. You elect these yes men to the office when you win the White House and leave a steaming pile to clean up for any Democrat who would dare take the Oval Office away from you due to your own incompetence.

Look at what you are giving this country as an alternative to Obama. Your rank and file party members can’t even get behind any of them with any vigor. The inadequacies of what you have fielded for candidacy are obvious to most thinking Americans so I will not waste time going in on them. I think Colbert had it right when he did his bit on the generic candidate.

If you have so little respect for the people of this country that the best you can do is the guy above, you deserve the oblivion you are careening toward. We need statesmen not petulant children to help pull this country out of the morass. It is not President Obama who has failed, IT IS YOU!!

PS. While you are stalling and putting the full faith and credit of the United States in jeopardy in the name of what Joe Scarborough calls “simple math”. Consider this simple math. The people you are targeting with all of your over reach outnumber the people you answer to by a huge margin and you WILL hear from us in 2012.
