Democracy is Dead
| May 17, 2012 | Filled under Current Affairs, Politics |
So we read today that a conservative group led by the patriarch of the family that owns the Cubs that they have a secret campaign that goes where McCain wouldn’t. And what is that hard hitting campaign is about? Connecting President Obama with Reverend Wright. Really??? Why does this matter anymore? I guess if you are a Republican and have nothing else to talk about, this sort of stuff excites you. My opinion is that they should do it. I think it would offend the group that is most in play, independents and moderates. The other thing is, it would open up for Democrats the opportunity to highlight all the folks that Mittens “pals” around with. Not necessarily something he would look forward to. Bottom line is that things are going to get dirty. Romney is known for it. I hope though that Pres Obama and his people have finally learned though you can’t let these idiots define you. Fight fire with fire.

CHART: Spending, Taxes, And Deficits Are All Lower Today Than When Obama Took Office | ThinkProgress.

Mitt Romney Debt Speech: ‘Inferno’ Oversimplified
| May 15, 2012 | Current Affairs, Politics |
Mitt Romney Debt Speech: ‘Inferno’ Oversimplified. I listened to most of this speech and only came away thinking about what a shallow man this guy is for someone so well educated. He really doesn’t have a foundation of belief’s to go on as he tries to run for President. Most of his thoughts are warmed over crap from George W, and more of the same trickle down economics that have never worked. more

Paul Ryan Budget: House Passes Bill To Spare Defense, Cut Food Aid, Health Care
| May 10, 2012 | Current Affairs, Politics |
Paul Ryan Budget: House Passes Bill To Spare Defense, Cut Food Aid, Health Care. So 218 Republicans believe that the defense budget has no waste in it and it isn’t bloated. And that after 2 wars that weren’t paid for ending, there is no need to scale back unneeded programs or projects that won’t work. Instead they believe that the poor and hungry have it to good in this country and don’t mention the recession, but say that these cuts are good for them. In the meantime, no cuts in subsidies to oil companies that are making billions, no increase… more

Daily Kos: Wait, who is being divisive on gay marriage?.
A great article. It is short, but really hits the exact points that need to be hit. Republicans don’t have much to run on. If they think this is a winning strategy, they are in deep do do.

Sooner or later the government will have to step in and do something about this. Not a government takeover, but a much stronger, direct role by shareholders in compensation by CEO’s and executives. Although the rules is to maximize shareholder profit and care less about employees, I doubt that shareholders themselves as a whole believe in treating people like numbers as most CEO’s and executives do.

McCain really is a pathetic old man. A guy who calls his wife the C word during the presidential campaign is the one that tries to defend the GOP and it’s actions against women.
