FROM HELL TO HAIL TO THE CHIEF
WHAT A RIDE
It’s
taken me a week to settle my stomach and get back to normal after the electoral
process ended. If ever there was a
Maalox event this was it. Almost three years of hellish lies, spins, conflict, anger, deceit and well, just some filthy politics and corruption.
If known for nothing after this event the Republican election process, "The bastard machine born to Mitch McConnell" has been stamped with bloviating distortional statements and misinformation smothered in more lies than Dr. Goebbels told, and served with a liberal and generous conservative dose of bovine pancakes. Ah Ha! You thought I couldn't put Liberal and Conservative in one sentence!
Add the outdated Grover Norquist who dictated the whole mess to the Republicans with his butchered financial promises and pledges should be the first to test out the new Icarus Corporation tar and feather wings over the cliffs of Dover.
"The Pledge." It's a promise that they will never, under any circumstances, vote to raise taxes on anyone. And so far, Norquist has held them to it, through the pledge, he controls 279 votes, including both the speaker of the House, and the Senate minority leader. Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have signed it. And in the coming 2014-2016 campaigns, you can be sure that Grover Norquist won't let them forget it.
MITT SHOWS NEW FACE, OBAMA COUNTERS
Our Commander and Chief, victorious once more showed, us a few new sides of himself. He became strong and combative after being shaken by a poor performance at the first debate. A slick move to the center by the failing Romney team threw the President off guard. "Fool me once, your fault, fool me twice, my fault".
He came back guns blazing, rhetoric on fire, powerful and Mitt buttered up. In the next two debates it was all President. Yet after the election win he showed he is compassionate, shedding a tear and humanly kind toward those who supported him and offered a steady composure for those who didn't.
BREAKING NEWS: He even invited Mitt to the WhiteHouse on the 29th of November for lunch. Mitt accepted and asked if he could bring a food taster. The President suggested Karl "Himmler" Rove, and that way they both could solve their biggest problems.
And his approach was one of calm and coolness and using his head instead of the other sides grand display of cranial-rectal dyslexia. He offered them the olive branch, and Boehner seemed willing to work together, but Mitch McConnell is still Mitch McConnell. Fortunately, he is facing re-election this year and maybe the country will get lucky and a meteorite will fall on his head. The asteroid center in Puerto Rio (look at the old Bond movies, they used it a lot) didn't have any asteroids on tap so we'll suggest a concrete block from six stories in lieu of a natural phenomena.
Contending with the tactics, lies, and rumors spread by an incredible array of nutcases; Limbaugh, O'Reilly, Corpo-Guano from the KOCH brothers, Dick-Morris heads, AKA the Tea Party lunatics, Karl Rove, the unofficial Goebbels of the party, Coulter whose acumen in writing requires four letter words, Madeline, the makeover queen, the A-Holes of FOX News including the three jerks in the morning, the Republican gerrymandering brigade and election fixers, and voter suppression teams in states with GOP governors and houses. In many states voted down by the Supreme Court, the President calmly weathered the storm.
I call them the LEGION OF DOOM-GO here
The president followers, (they are called people) in strong rebuttal countered the financial onslaught of the Koch brothers, Sheldon, sell my soul to the devil Adelson, Donald the T-Rump, and the entire Republican birthers clan who gave Karl Rove, of all people and others, 1.3 millions of dollars to make Barrack Obama a one term President.
It proves the theory that RICH does not equal (=) INTELLIGENT, it just means you have money. Why did the GOP lose the election… they didn’t lose their base, plenty of nuts in that bowl, a smarter party won it from the people's choice, the way it should be…
LETS GO BACK IN TIME
THE TEA PARTY, the "WRITE" WING OF THE GOP:
The GOP allowed the Tea Party to do its dirty work in 2009-2012. At every opportunity at town hall meetings Congressman were broached by insults, challenges, being shouted down and not permitted to speak at their own meetings. So much for the freedom of speech, fairness, and calm intercourse. This Neanderthal Group Kum-Ba-Ya Tactical Plan worked. (Operation GKTP) This led to rallies of disruption, misinformation and obstructionism, and inspired by Mitch McConnell’s classic throw down the gauntlet of his version of America.
Mitch McConnell: "My job for the next four years is to make the presidents term, a single term, indicated to those in the party anything goes".
Thank goodness this is the United States, If Stalin was alive and president, Mitch would be deader than Cannon fodder. But the statement indicated he didn't care about the country, it was the party, which in practice, shows he is suffering from PAD. (Personal Ass Development)
He has a re-election coming up and is not really the one to carry the Republican banner in the Senate. A new face is needed. Sorely needed. Compromise and compassion fell the way of obstructionism and freedom of speech became freedom to lie.
The other leaders of the party as led by Herr McConnell, John Boehner, a good man in a bad spot, Eric Cantor, a real ideological idiot, Paul Ryan, master of numbers who can't count and a certified liar as we found out during the election, and the Dr. Goebbels and staff of the party, the unofficial voice of conservatism and verbal diarrhea, Mr. Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, Palin all jumped on the train.
And it was a coal train owned by the KOCH Brothers. Democracy in their minds is a CORP-OCRACY. Big business dumped a large part of the 1.3 billion dollars into the election. They tried to buy it.
Fortunately for the country the train wrecked.
The TEA PARTY, more a coalition with themselves than a party, without a caucus, was born. The press ate it up like maggots on an elephant carcass. Whatever you think of journalism and the press, forget it. Bad stories sell twice as good as good stories and scandal does even better. The ultrafast media of today and the Internet allow the wrongs to travel faster than the rights.
Big rallies were held and many showed up. Just like other political enterprises founded by history's greatest crowd pleasers like Adolf and Benito, Saddam Hussein, Al-Assad and others. These were patriots, and they let you know with huge rallies, lots of cheering and self congratulations, and many mis-spelled signs. Too bad education was not on their agenda. Learn how to spell you idiots!
ENTER BOEHNER
It worked and they managed to get in 2010 almost 87 followers in the House, which gave the Speaker of the House Boehner heartburn, severe heartburn.
That cut into his 100 rounds of Golf he plays every year, even the golf couldn’t calm him. And with friends like Eric Cantor and Grover norquist, who needs enemies. So instead of compromise he was forced to take on the President. For years our country has understood compromise for the sake of itself. The TEA POTS did not allow compromise. And gridlock became as big as the Hoover Dam and Americans suffered. We learn a lot from history, many of the things that occur, they come back to inspire us or haunt us.
STALIN - THE GAME CHANGER
Joseph Stalin also had a few things to say. Like Boehner, part of his team objected. That was on Tuesday, none of them showed up for work or could be found on Wednesday. Solved that problem. Don't kill the bill, just get rid of the messengers, that gets rid of the bill.
But first let me say, I am not a fan of Stalin; his one compelling virtue to me was he hated Hitler as much as I and most of the world did. Otherwise, he was no different and had as much blood on his hands as Hitler. But, if it wasn't for Hitlers egotistical stupidity in opening the second front and Stalin's tenacity, many in Europe today would be speaking German as a first language.
He was a great motivator. Had he written more, his book could of been called "Caliber Selection in Motivation". He believed a SKS (7.62 x 39) or a Tokorev (7.62 x 25) to the back of the head kept an Army moving forward. But his country was faced with the German onslaught and annihilation. He knew there was little time for political pandering. He did a lot of that, probably surpassing Hitler.
They could prevent, or obstruct any bills from passing and Boehner had little he could do about it. The inmates were running the institution. And three hundred unsigned bills and programs went to waste. Along with the integrity of the Republican party.
What wrong with the TEA Party, simple.
It seems few of those folks knew the true story of the TEA Party - Go here I didn't, so I researched it, fascinating. It's a whole different booze inspired moment of time. With that said, the TEA parties actions back in those days were small in comparison to today’s events. You could get away with what happened in those days, today we have encompassing attacks like 911, stalemated ten year wars, techno drones, missiles, nuclear bombs and the fact that we live in a global world and we are a country of 330 million diverse people.
A small government can't run that many people, period. The states can't do it either. There has to be a government. If you do not understand that last sentence go climb back in your cave. In the face of Katrina's and Sandy's of the global world, any individual states FEMA program would have failed and lots more people would be dead by now.
As George Bush the first said at the G20, this is the NEW WORLD ORDER (Go here) No it's not about the bombings, jack booted troops on our soil, or even the Black helicopters so brought forth by the NRA, more propaganda for membership dues, it's about how money rules the world and we are a global economy subject to the pitfalls and competition.
The Colonials never had a Brazil, Russia, India, and China, (the so-called BRIC community) plus Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Germany for competition. They wanted a better price on TEA. The political side came later.
So in 2010, the TEA POT party got greedy and impatient and that cost Republicans control of the Senate. Really inept, weird, strange witchcraft took over with poor candidates like Delaware's bewitching Christine O'Donnell and Nevada's Sharron Angle who would bring slavery back if she could in 2010.
Add TEA POT-HEADS like the medically inept play doctor abortion duo of Missouri's Todd Akin and Indiana's Richard Mourdock this year, Scott Brown, Allen West and others went by-by. The people had had-enough of their rhetoric.
Mitch McConnell might have been the new majority leader, instead he led a rout. Harry Reid gained four or more Democrats in Congress. his delight, will continue to lead a surprisingly solid Democratic majority.
