MITT AND NOOT FIGHT OVER A USELESS NOMINATION
OBAMA WILL GET HIS SECOND TERM...AND MAYBE A LITTLE MORE SUPPORT FOR HIS PROGESSIVE AGENDA...
THE TEABAGGERS HAVE FADED INTO THE POLITICAL WOODWORK...THEY WERE A PHONY ASTRO TURF ORGANIZATION AFTER ALL...
Fox, Romney and Alinsky
The Alinsky BogeyMan is another Fox Republican plan to dupe the stupids...yet again...
The problem with the stupids is they won't stay duped...!
Republicans are trying to run against a "fictional Obama" ...solely constructed on Fox News...
This has nothing to do with the Real Obama...
Unfortunately for Fox they are going to be stuck with Mitt for the rest of this election cycle...and Mitt has not been a fan of Fox... He seldom appears on Fox...
Fox really does not like Romney because he will be very bad for Fox ratings... Fox prefers the freaks, Palin, The Herminator, etal...nearly all of whom have dropped out...
It will be interesting to see how Fox handles Romney... Romney thinks this is about Real Policy...not the freakish rants you hear on Fox daily... There is a real problem here for both Fox and Romney... How to get along until after the Obama Landslide...!
How to you support for President a guy who has all of his money in off shore tax havens...?
And hearing Romney rant against Obamneycare...will be FUN...!!
Monday, January 30, 2012
Fox News loses if Romney wins...Here's why...
Then we can start talking about what it means to have a President who is keeping all his money in Off Shore Tax Havens...not in America...!
And why Romneycare is "working" in Mass... but won't work for the rest of the country...and what Romney would "replace" it with...of course that isn't even mentioned...
In fact they never really told us why we all "hate" Obamacare...
We're just supposed to take Fox's word for it, I guess...
Why is allowing deadbeats to freeload on the health care system while everyone else pays for their care...a "good thing" for Republicans...
And never mind that Obamacare essentially IS THE REPUBLICAN PLAN...
Only just before Obama passed it...!
Worse yet...the talking heads on Fox seem to be saying Obama is going to be unbeatable in November...simply because Republicans have such a weak field of candidates...
It could be a long boring summer leading up to the November Obama Landslide...!
So enjoy the hype while you can...
FACEBOOK FAD ENDING SOON...
"BEEN THERE, DONE THAT"...SETS IN...
FACEBOOK IS THE NEXT GEOCITIES...THE NEXT NAPSTER...THE NEXT AOL...THE NEXT ALTA VISTA...THE NEXT PETS.COM...THE NEXT MYSPACE...THE NEXT....? WELL YOU GET THE PICTURE...?
REMEMBER HOW YOU WERE GOING TO RETIRE AND PAY FOR COLLEGE EXPENSES BY HOLDING THOSE STOCKS...?
BUY AND FLIP...DON'T BUY AND HOLD ON THESE FAD STOCKS...
FACEBOOK WILL SURGE AND THEN PLUNGE AFTER THE IPO...AS THE SUMMER OF ECONOMIC DOOM KICKS IN FOR THE MARKETS...
MARKETS DOWN ON END OF QE SUPPORT...
WHENEVER QE ENDS THE MARKETS PLUNGE... THIS ENTIRE "RECOVERY" HAS BEEN BASED ON QE AND MONEY PRINTING....
VERY LIKELY...WE ARE IN FOR A BIG BEAR MARKET SUMMER...GOING INTO THE ELECTION.
NOT BECAUSE OF POLITICS...BUT SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO THROW AT THIS DEPRESSION...
IF ROMNEY WINS...IT WILL BE A REPUDIATION OF ALL STANDARD ECONOMIC THEORY...NAMELY THE VALIDITY OF KEYNESIANISM... IF OBAMA WINS...THE RESULT IS BETTER ONLY IN THAT ORDINARY PEOPLE WILL FEEL BETTER ABOUT BUT NOT ACTUALLY DO BETTER IN THE ECONOMY...
THE DEPRESSION IS FAR FROM OVER...ITS GOING TO BE A LONG DOWN HILL SLOUGH...
EVERYONE KNOWS IT...
EXCEPT OF COURSE WALL STREET....

ROMNEY'S VP CONSIDERED....
A woman VP from the south would help... Rubio might deliver Fla...but he would turn off the rest of the country... What has Rubio done or said to even be considered...? He's a frat boy with a bad attitude about the problems of real people...
His only appearances in public are mostly to deny that he wants the VP position...and the rest is strictly the bland Republican talking points of the day.
Has he ever expressed policy positionS...that are not about Cuba...which is not a big priority with the folks in fly over country these daze?
Halley would be the best choice...
But the notion of electing a President of the US ...who keeps his money in off shore tax havens...is going to be a hard thing to overcome...
And Romney's tin ear on social issues...will cancel any benefits from his VP choice... Romney can not hide in the shadows of his VP...
Obama has this election in the bag...and if he doesn't...this nation is in for a lot more trouble... Just the notion of repealing Obamacare...by Romney who admits that Romneycare is popular in Mass...is just too freaky to even imagine in a post election news cycle...
Americans are crazy...but not that crazy...
ARE REPUBLICANS GIVING UP ON BEATING OBAMA...
GEO WILL AND BRIT HUME IN PARTICULAR SEEM TO BE DRIVEN TO A LEVEL OF PESSIMISM THAT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THROWING IN THE TOWEL... AND ITS ONLY JANUARY...!
THERE SEEMS TO BE A REALIZATION THAT THE MUD BOWL HAS GONE ON TOO LONG...AND THEIR SURVIVING CHOICES JUST DON'T HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST OBAMA...
OBAMA IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER...AS THE REPUBLICANS SELF DESTRUCT...
THIS ELECTION COULD BE OVER BEFORE THE 4TH OF JULY...!
IS ROMNEY THE NEW "NOT ROMNEY"....?
MANY HAVE DROPPED OUT...ONLY THE NEWT STANDS AS THE LAST NOT ROMNEY...
BUT THE NEWT IS HATED BY THE OLD GUARD OF THE PARTY... AND NEWTS "INSTABILITY" HAS BEEN LOOKED AT AS ALMOST AS SERIOUS AS ROMNEY'S DULLNESS AND TIN EAR ON SOCIAL ISSUES...
THE REPUBLICAN PROBLEM WITH "THE VISION THING"...WITH NEWT HAS BECOME THE "HALLUCINATION THING"...!
WE SIMPLY CAN NOT HAVE AN UNSTABLE MERCURIAL PERSONALITY IN CONTROL OF OUR NUKES AND OUR MILITARY...
WE DON'T NEED AN "AMERICAN CALIGULA" AS MANY SEE THE NEWT BECOMING...
NOW...AT LEAST IN FLORIDA...ROMNEY HAS BECOME THE NEW "NOT ROMNEY" CANDIDATE...
THE NEWT WILL HAVE HIS DAY WHEN SUPER TUESDAY HAPPENS...AND THE TEABAGGERS REALIZE THAT THEY ARE BEING DUMPED...AND THE GUY WITH HIS MONEY IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS IS GOING TO BE THEIR NOMINEE...
A VERY NON-POPULIST OUT COME...
MANY TEABAGGERS MAY FINALLY "COME TO THEIR SENSES" AND REALIZE THAT OBAMA IS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THEIR ECONOMIC STRATA...
IF TEABAGGERS ARE "REPUBLICAN POPULISTS"...ROMNEY WILL NOT GET THEIR VOTE...
BUT OBAMA MIGHT... ITS TIME FOR THE LUNCH BUCKET REPUBLICANS TO GET REAL AND COME HOME...
THE DAYS OF HOPING FOR MORE CRUMBS TO FALL FROM THE TABLES OF THE WALL STREET ELITES IS OVER....
WE SIMPLY WILL NOT HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO HAS STASHED MOST OF HIS MONEY IN OFF SHORE TAX HAVENS...SETTING GOVERNMENT POLICY IN THE WHITE HOUSE...
QUITE SIMPLY THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN...!

AMERICA'S BIGGEST FREE TRADE EXPORT : FACTORIES AND JOBS!!
The Obvious Problem is the off shoring of good jobs to low wage nations...yet Democrats continue to spout the discredited notion that Free Trade "Opens up Markets for American Goods"....
Curiously...the tariffs come off on stuff foreigners export to us...BUT NOT on the things we would export to them...!
Yet...for some reason no one notices...
What Free Trade really does is OPEN UP...low wage nations for the building of US owned manufacturing plants...!!
The best example is Apple...! Everything is made in Asia!
OUR BIGGEST EXPORT IS FACTORIES...AND MANUFACTURING JOBS...!!
ROMNEY'S OFF SHORE PROBLEM...
THE WHOLE PROBLEM WITH REPUBLICANS THIS CYCLE IS THAT NONE OF THEM ARE MAKING A COMPELLING ARGUMENT FOR WHY OBAMA SHOULD BE REPLACED...
ROMNEY SAYS HE WILL REPEAL OBAMA CARE ON DAY ONE OF HIS PRESIDENCY...YET SAYS THAT ROMNEY CARE IN MASS IS POPULAR AND WORKED OUT WELL...AND WAS NOT A MISTAKE...!
THE REPUBLICANS SEEM TO BE ARGUING ABOUT WHO AMONG THEM IS LESS REPULSIVE TO THE AMERICAN ELECTORATE...
NOT WHO CAN BEAT OBAMA...AND WORSE YET...WHY OBAMA SHOULD BE REPLACED...
WE ARE TOLD THAT WE "HATE OBAMACARE"...BUT NEVER TOLD WHY...?
IS IT BECAUSE OBAMACARE STOPS FREELOADERS FROM MILKING THE SYSTEM THAT OTHERS ARE PAYING FOR...?
THE BIGGEST REPUBLICAN DILEMMA THIS CYCLE IS THAT OBAMA ESSENTIALLY PASSED AND ADOPTED THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN REFORM AGENDA...!!
AND NOW REPUBLICANS ARE FORCED TO SAY WHY ADOPTING REPUBLICAN IDEAS WAS A BAD THING...!
THIS IS NUTS...!

THE END OF OUR ERA...HAS IT HAPPEN YET...?
The current generation knows no history...and just doesn't care... We might call this the "Post Classical Era"... Nothing pre-1990 interests anyone...
We have had a Cultural Revolution...not unlike what happen in 1968...
Eras end with hard breaks...1789, 1848, 1914, 1932, 1968...and you can never go back.
The exact year of this break is still unclear...2008 is a good candidate if the Depression doesn't end...
Perhaps the "break year" hasn't happen yet ~ but its coming...
Nothing matters that happen before the IPO of Pets.com...!
WILL AMERICA BREAK UP SOON...?
Oddly...Federalism as Washington knows it is not a sure thing even now...
The South has been the odd man out in the union from the start... that is why Washington and Jefferson were pushed as early Presidents...to keep the South on board with the Constitution...and that only lasted until 1861...
The US has been run from New York and the East Coast from the start...and it still is...and that is why the South is still a problem... There is more to Red States and Blue States than politics... Its about wealth, power and control... America is a bi-coastal power...Atlantic and Pacific...
Fly over Country...and the deep South are not really players on a national level...and that is getting worse by the day... Hence the Tea Party....
If the current national Depression turns out to be "unsolveable"...as well it may... It is very possible that the union will break up before the end of this Century... And the South will go its separate way...as a Latin American style low wage zone attempting to compete with Asia and South America...
If the nation is in a perma-Depression... a lot of scape goats are going to be needed...and quick...
Likely there will be a move for the South to pull out of the Federal Union before the end of this Century...
It this all too Alarmist...?
Have you seen where we are and were we are going in Washington...? This thing is heading for total collapse probably within 5 years...and likely much sooner...

OBAMA WINS REPUBLICAN DEBATE....!
Obama is doing just fine...especially compared to the Republican alternatives...
Where they differ with Obama is mostly in areas that make no sense... Like a flat tax for millionaires...or just abolishing health care reform with no ideas on what's next...in fact Romney made a spirited defense of Romneycare...that was very Republican...stop the freeloaders...!
These guys are contenting for the Republican nomination that isn't worth squat in 2012...
Obama is simply going to win reelection...and all this blather is just going to be forgotten after November...WHEN THESE GUYS JOIN THE HERMINATOR ON THE TALK SHOW CIRCUIT...
GOOD REPUBLICANS...! THEY ARE NOT ALL CRAZY...!
The problem is that reduced private sector incomes...can not support the old style public sector wages and benefits...
On that level I actually agree with the Republicans...
Old style unions...private sector unions...had a "social justice" function in the 20th Century... Workers Comp, Child Labor, Workplace Safety, Pensions and Health Insurance, Social Security, Civil Rights, etc...but much of that good stuff has now been PUT INTO LAW...
As an instrument of social policy unions did their job...in the 20th Century... But merely to extort higher and higher wages and benefits...in a declining economy is not benefiting the public now...

WHAT OBAMA MISSED...
If there is an economic theory that shows how extremely low slave wages are sustainable for Western Consumer Capitalism...I'm all for it...
The notion of protection is as old as the trading economy itself...its ancient...!
Notions of Free Trade have always been political not economic... Its not really a valid economic theory in the long run...in its extreme it falls apart...just as extreme Keynesianism is doing now. But Keynes admitted that when he said "in the long run we are all dead"...
Valid economic theory demands some kind of equilibrium and sustainability...otherwise everything collapses... As we see now...!
When Free Trade was developed...it was all about maximizing the "natural advantages" of different nations...to produce things... You buy bananas from Columbia...not Canada...! Etc...
It was never about low or slave wages as happens in China and parts of Asia... The Era of greatest growth in the US was an Era of greatest protectionism...
People wrote editorials thanking Pres. McKinley for: "Protecting us from the pauper labor of Europe"...in 1900!! This, long before the Internet or this current incarnation of the so called "Global Economy"
This problem is not "new" or somehow related to technology or the Internet... Its carved on the walls of Egyptian Temples...!
If China wants to make TVs in the US...like Japan was "forced" to make cars in America in the 80's... Fine...
Solve the massive Trade Deficit with Asia...and Bring the Pentagon War Budget into the modern era.... Get Canadian/UK style Single Payer Health Care...and get health care in general off the backs of "job providers"....
AND EVERYTHING WILL IMPROVE...ALMOST AUTOMATICALLY... And that's an 'invisible hand' that is sustainable...!
TIME FOR A POST FOX REPUBLICAN PARTY...?
THEIR "RESPONSE" SEEMED TO INDICATE A COMMON GOAL OF SAVING THE SAFETY NET...AND ADDRESSING INCOME INEQUALITY ISSUES...
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT OLD STYLE REPUBLICANS ARE SEEING THAT FOX AND THE TEA BAGGERS ARE PUSHING THEIR PARTY...INTO A DISASTEROUS AGENDA THAT COULD TOTALLY RUIN THE PARTY AS A VIABLE ENTITY IN AMERICAN POLITICS...
THE PROSPECTS OF THE NEWT...SEEMS TO HAVE SCARED SOME REPUBLICANS STRAIGHT...!
AND MADE THEM MORE WILLING TO OFFER REASONABLE SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS...EVEN IF OBAMA SUPPORTS THEM...
OBAMA HAS BASICALLY ADOPTED REPUBLICANS PLANS ON HEALTH CARE AND OTHER KEY ISSUES...YET THE CRY FROM FOX WAS FOR REPUBLICANS TO REJECT ANYTHING OBAMA WANTED...SIMPLY BECAUSE HE WANTED IT...!
THERE MAY FINALLY BE A REALIZATION THAT THAT AGENDA IS A DEAD END FOR REPUBLICANS...
IT MAY BE TOO LATE FOR OLD GUARD REPUBLICANS TO SAVE THEIR PARTY FROM THE RADICAL KNOW NOTHINGS IN THE TEA PARTY...
TIME WILL TELL...
BUT THIS IS NOT THE PISS AND VINEGAR FOX DOMINATED REPUBLICAN PARTY OF 2010...
WE COULD BE SEEING THE BEGINNINGS OF A POST FOX REPUBLICAN PARTY

How to Save America....in a Nutshell.
Everyone is afraid to tell the people what happen... Worse Republicans, like Paul Ryan, want the looting to continue at the expense of the Working and Middle Class...
We need:
1. Canadian style Single Payer Now... paid for by...general revenues
2. Cuts in the War Budgets at the Pentagon...cuts of 1/2 are needed.
3. A $10 tariff on every Chinese made I-Pod and TV that comes into the US...just to keep the roads in good shape for delivery of Chinese made goods sold by US corporations....
4. Reversion to a progressive tax system...with high rates 50%+ on the mega wealthy who take the most out of the system...
Simply put in America the looters got out of control...and now is the time to bring them back with higher tax rates...
Unfortunately ...because of special interests and looters power...and Trailer Trash Republicans who are mostly duped by Racist nonsense... It may take another big collapse before any of this happens...
ROMNEY NEEDS TO QUESTION NEWT'S SANITY...
Newt is mildly manic depressive...it runs in his family...his mother had it...
Manics will go from a wild attack phase to a very passive "look normal" phase quite quickly... In this "down phase" they often appear "too normal"...
Suddenly its all very polite, too polite...really a: "See I'm really normal" act...
Newt was in his "normal act" last night at the debate... The trick is going to be for Romney to bring him out into a manic state on TV... Those who know Newt personally have commented on his manic states... Those people need to come out and expose Newt for what he is...
We all know that Newt will never be President...but he could do massive damage to Republicans down the ticket if he is the nominee...base on the odd notion that he can : "Stick it too Obama"...
The sooner Republicans come up with real policies for ordinary middle class people the sooner they will be electable again...
Just being the "Not-Obama-In-Chief" is not the road to the White House...
"STICK IT TO OBAMA" WILL NOT WIN IN NOVEMBER...NOR WILL MANTRAS AND SLOGANS ABOUT "FOOD STAMPS"...
REAL POLICY IS NECESSARY...
REPUBLICAN DEBATE : NEWT TRIES TO NOT APPEAR MANIC DEPRESSIVE...
AFTER AN "EPISODE" OF HYPER ACTIVITIY...
THEY GO VERY PASSIVE, CLAM AND DOCILE AND SEEM TIRED...
THIS IS ESPECIALLY APPARENT IN MANIC DEPRESSIVES...LIKE NEWT.
NEWTS PERFORMANCE LAST NIGHT WAS AN ATTEMPT TO SAY:
SEE...I'M NOT SCARY...I'M NOT INSANE...I DON'T HAVE MANIC UPS AND DOWNS...I'M IN CONTROL...
NEWT SIMPLY CAN'T BE TRUSTED...HE IS UNSTABLE... AND HE WILL NOT BE PRESIDENT...EVERYONE KNOWS THIS...
AND REPUBLICANS KNOW IT BEST...
REPUBLICANS SEEK TO BE THE "NOT-OBAMA-IN-CHIEF"....
CONSEQUENTLY, THEY SEEM TO THINK THAT IT ISN'T NECESSARY TO PRODUCE ANY POLICY POSITIONS...
THEY MERELY LOOK AT WHAT OBAMA HAS PROPOSED...AND THEN DO THE OPPOSITE...
IT IS ON THIS BULLSHIT NOTION...THEY SEEK TO REGAIN THE WHITE HOUSE...
AT ITS CORE, REPUBLICAN POLICY IS A REVERSION TO THE BUSH YEARS...PRE-BUSH DEPRESSION...
THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A REVERSION TO TRICKLE DOWN... TAX CUTS FOR CORPORATIONS AND THE RICH...
AND ATTEMPTED CUTTING BENEFITS TO THE MIDDLE CLASS AND WORKING AND ACTUAL POOR...
IT IS NOT MENTIONED THAT OBAMA HAS DONE A GREAT JOB IN SAVING THE SYSTEM THAT REPUBLICANS LOOTED TO THE POINT OF COLLAPSE...
AND INDEED OBAMA POLICIES HAVE ALLOWED THE STOCK MARKET TO SOAR...THUS RESTORING MUCH OF THE WEALTH THAT THE RICH AND CORPORATIONS LOST IN THE FINAL YEAR OF THE BUSH DEPRESSION...2009...
TRANSLATE INTO ACCEPTANCE OF MORE CUTS TO THE MIDDLEHERE'S THE PROBLEM...WHEN RENS DO GET POWER...THEY SIMPLY WON'T BE ABLE TO CUT ENTITLEMENTS...THE PUBLIC WILL NOT GO FOR IT...
BECAUSE THE ATTACKS ON OBAMA AS A PERSON...WILL NOT CLASS IF OBAMA IS GONE...
THAT IS THE REPUBLICAN FALLACY THAT CONSTANTLY PLAGUES THEM...
THEY DON'T CUT SPENDING...THEY INCREASE IT ESPECIALLY FOR THE WAR BUDGET...AND THEY DON'T CUT ENTITLEMENTS BECAUSE THE PUBLIC WON'T ALLOW IT...
THEN... THEY CUT TAXES...WHICH LEADS TO THE NEXT CRISIS...
AT THIS POINT DIVIDED GOVERNMENT IS TOXIC IN THE US...
WHAT IS NEEDED IS A CLEAR PROGRESSIVE GOVERNMENT...OR A CLEAR WALL STREET GOVERNMENT...
THE MIDDLE GROUND IS A KILLING FIELD FOR THIS ECONOMY...

DEMOCRATS BEG REPUBLICANS NOT TO VOTE FOR GINGRICH...!!
WE DEMOCRATS NEED OUR FOOD STAMPS...!!
PLEASE NOT GINGRICH...
GINGRICH WILL DESTROY OBAMA WITH HIS SHARP TONGUE AND QUICK WIT... IN THE DEBATES...
THEN WE'LL LOSE OUR FOOD STAMPS...1
PLEASE DON'T VOTE FOR GINGRICH...!!
NEWT'S ABILITY TO "STICK IT TO" PEOPLE...
BUBBA HATES THE OTHER GUYS DISABILITY CHECK ...NOT HIS...
GRANNY WANTS ENTITLEMENTS STOPPED...BUT NOT HER SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE...
ON FOX THEY ALL RANT...AND SCREAM...AND EVERYONE IS JUST STICKING IT TO EVERYONE ELSE...
THAT IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TODAY...
NEWT IS THE KING RANTER OF THE MOMENT...HIS ABILITY TO STICK IT TO PEOPLE IS MUCH SOUGHT AFTER AMONG ANGRY WHITE UNEDUCATED REPUBLICANS...
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY ITSELF IS FATALLY DIVIDED BETWEEN THE ROMNEY RICH...AND THE PALIN STUPIDS... THESE PEOPLE HAVE NOTHING IN COMMON...EXCEPT FOR SOME REASON THEY CAN'T VOTE DEMOCRATIC...RELIGION, RACE, REGION STOP THEM...AS WELL AS WEALTH OR LACK OF IT...
THE PROBLEM IS THAT STICKING IT TO PEOPLE IS NOT THE SAME AS GOVERNING...
RANTS ARE NOT POLICIES...
REPUBLICANS WANT TO RANT...NOT RULE...
AND THAT WILL BE THEIR DOWNFALL TO OBAMA IN NOVEMBER...
ALL OF THIS MEDIA HYPE DURING THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARIES...WILL BE A FORGOTTEN FOOTNOTE IN HISTORY BEFORE THE END OF THIS YEAR...
IGNORE IT...ITS A WASTE OF TIME...
Sunday, January 22, 2012
NEWT : ANGRY FAT OLD WHITE GUY OF DESTINY...!
...an American Everyman...!
Newt is the Man for Our Times...
A Fat Angry Old Fart of Destiny...!
He's a Conservative, He's a Teabagger. He's a Progressive, He's a thinker, He's a Bar Stool Ranter...He wants to protect the middle class by canceling "entitlements"....
BUT ONLY FOR THOSE BUMS IN THE STATE NEXT TO YOURS...! NEWT HAS IT ALL...!!
Can he beat Obama...? Probably not...
Newt is all over the place and that won't sell in November...
But Newt is entertaining...and Totally Foxable...(only Fox doesn't know it yet)
Obama is a Mau Mau Socialist from Kenya...who hates America...especially White People.
And that is all we need to hear for now...

HOW THE GINGRICH STOLE MITTS NOMINATION...
NEWT DIDN'T WIN...
MITT LOST BIG TIME...!!
NEWT WIN FALLS FALL...FOR REPUBLICANS...
AND NOW HE GIVES THE REPUBLICAN SCREAMERS A 100 PAGE HISTORY READING ASSIGNMENT ....FOR THE NEXT CLASS IN FLORIDA.....! BORING...!
GOODY... USA! USA! USA...!
AND NEWT'S "JOKE" ABOUT OBAMA NOT PLAYING CHESS OR CHECKERS AT THE WHITE HOUSE...
WAS ONE I CAN'T WAIT TO REPEAT AT THE LOCAL BAR...!!
WHAT A YUCK...!!
HMMM...CAN THIS FAT DOG HUNT...?
NEWT WINS ON THE ART OF THE RANT...
I am surprised that the Evangelicals and others in the values camp did not give Santorum more of a "Pity Vote"...
Romney is the Hillary Clinton of Republicans...someone that everyone thinks should be nominated...but no one really wants to vote for... Its the false leader phenomenon...
Further...this is a Fox Teaparty Republican party...not a Bob Dole Republican party... Entertainment is all...policy is secondary...to Fox Republicans the rant is all... Rant about anything...
Complain about "entitlements"...even if you are on Social Security...Republicans have little to say about the American decline and the Wall Street looting of America...so they just want to rant...
They don't really want to govern...they have little new to say...they want to complain about government...
If Newt's "Lying Bitch" rant against CNN won this primary ... CNN should be given a seat of honor in the White House press room...Republicans are mad...crazy mad...and The Newt is their Man for 2012...
THANK YOU CNN...!
THANK YOU CNN...!!
It will be nice to see an anti-capitalist academic run as a Republican...
Newt will bore the conservatives with his historical comments... Newt has no policies to discuss ... its all ramble on about whatever pops into his head...followed by a vile Hate Obama rant...at the end.
As front runner ... he may have his style crampped a bit now...
Newt's CNN "Lying Bitch" Rant had a shelf live of about 3 days...unfortunately for Rommey the primary was only 2 days off...!
BOTH ROMNEY AND NEWT ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE
Romney is toast...his tax stammer is just not cutting it...did he think his taxes would never be an issue...?!
And Newt's new wife... well...she looks like a dominatrix in a bad 60's sci-fi flick... Maybe thats why Newt fell for her and ditched his old wife..."The Lying Bitch"...
While evangelical men may go for Calista's home wrecking dominatrix look...their wifes won't...
Geez...where does she keep that hair at night...in the freezer...?
Newt can't rant his way to a win in South Carolina based on his marital problems...
Santorum...will be the surprise winner tomorrow...yet again...!
People don't vote for freaks, creeps or geeks...its just that simple.
GINGRICH LOSES "LYING BITCH" VOTE...!
NEWTS DEFENSE OF OPEN MARRIAGE IS SWEEPING SOUTH CAROLINA TONIGHT...
AS EVANGELICAL MARRIED MEN FLOCK TO NEWT'S SIDE...IN HOPES THAT THE SAME "EXCUSE" WILL APPLY TO THEM AFTER THE ELECTION...
SANTORUM ALL BUT CALLED THE NEWT CRAZY AND UNSTABLE...BUT WHAT OF IT...
SOUTHERN MEN LOVE NEWT'S NEW WIFE...WITH HER LOOK LIKE SOME NASTY DOMINATRIX IN A BAD 1960'S SCI-FI FLICK...
I MEAN...WHERE DOES SHE KEEP THAT HAIR AT NIGHT...? IN THE REFIGERATOR...?
THE NEWT HAS SOUTHERN MEN EXCITED TONIGHT ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF OPEN MARRIAGE... THE BEAUTY OF IT IS NEWT HAS THE PERFECT ALIBI...
IF YOU GET CAUGHT JUST BLAME THE MEDIA...AND SAY THAT GOD HAS FORGIVEN YOU...
EVEN IF THAT LYING BITCH EX...HASN'T...!!

SANTORUM WINS SOUTH CAROLINA PRIMARY...!
Santorum will win the primary on Saturday...
Santorum calling Newt a virtual "American Caligula" was effective...
And Romney's Tax Stammer...was terminal for his chances...
Santorum is the last man standing for the Tea Party...or Main Street Conservatives... or the Religious Right...
Somehow the MSM is missing this...because Santorum is not "flashy" enough for the media...
Thus Santorum is always the "surprise winner" for some reason...
Call it a "pity vote" for Santorum...or not...
But Newt and Romney are just too freaky and too creepy for real people...!
Thursday, January 19, 2012
ROMNEY...TOO GREEDY. NEWT...TOO UNSTABLE...
SANTORUM IS REALLY THEIR ONLY CHOICE...
NEWT : TOO UNSTABLE TO BE PRESIDENT...? AN AMERICAN CALIGULA...?
He is the only candidate unsable enough for the Republicans at this time...As President Newt?
Newt would be terrifying in the Oval Office...
Newt's unstable word salad thinking may cause many to reconsider Romney for being RICH AND GREEDY...
BUT AT LEAST HE'S NOT CRAZY AND UNSTABLE.....
NEWT COMES OFF AS THE "CRAZY GUY"...AT DEBATE...
AND...THAT IS FINE... IF YOU ARE IN A THINK TANK...
OR IN ACADEMIA...
BUT THE WHITE HOUSE IS AN EXECUTIVE MANAGEMENT POSITION...NOT AN IDEA POSITION...
A PRESIDENT NEEDS TO CONSIDER MANY POINTS OF VIEW...
AND NOT BE SO ENAMORED OF HIS OWN "GENIUS" THAT HE GOES OFF ON TANGENTS...OFTEN "HISTORICAL" OR BIZARRE...
NEWT IS TOO UNSTABLE TO BE PRESIDENT... IF HE WANTS TO THINK DEEP THOUGHTS IN SOME THINK TANK...FINE...
BUT THE OVAL OFFICE IS NOT THE PLACE FOR SOMEONE WHO IS ADMITTEDLY MERCURIAL...AND UNSTABLE...AND TOO INSANELY GRAND IN HIS ATTITUDE TOWARD HIS OWN ABILITY...
ROMNEY IS TOAST...ITS OVER...NEWT IS THE LAST FREAK STANDING
OBAMA WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER...AND HE WILL HAVE A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS TO GET THINGS DONE FOR THE PROGRESSIVE AGENDA...AND THE SUFFERING MIDDLE CLASS...
THE FREAK SHOW IS IN ITS LAST ACT FOR FOX AND FOR REPUBLICANS...
THE NEWT WILL BE THE LAST FREAK STANDING...!

HAVE REPUBLICANS ABANDON THEIR "BASE" VOTERS...?
But Bad Karma will catch up with you...
I feel sorry for Fox too...having to justify the top 1% to their audience who are basically the bottom 70%... Fox really seems to be struggling to maintain their status as AM Hate Radio...on Television...
Their problem is that things said on Fox by Republicans only "sound good" inside the Fox Studio Echo Chamber... Every 2 to 4 years however...the Fox types have to leave the studio...and go out an face real people...and the Lamestream media...
I was shocked in the last debate how detached the candidates where from the regular people asking questions... With these candidates...every "answer" is tax cuts for the rich...followed a mantra ("Shining City on a Hill or Take America Back or Something about Freedom, Liberty or Free Markets")....then...of course...followed by a Hate Obama Rant...to the effect that Obama is the : "Worse President in History")....
Those real people just have blank stares after their question is answered...

ROMNEY BEATS OBAMA ON THE ECONOMY...!
But it would be nice to give the Republicans back their DEPRESSION...and let them figure it out...
Romney claims he would let everything collapse...The banks, housing...the auto industry...Wall Street...just let it all RIP...!
Health care reform...cancel it...for what? Dunno...? Yet...but anything but Romneycare...!
That would be fun to watch...
Maybe he'll get his chance...
But my hunch is that Romney is a coward as well as a flip flopper..and he will follow the advise of the real economists...(non-Laugher Types)... Because so much of Republican economic theory is just unsupported by the facts... Dubya proved that with his unfunded wars and entitlements...and his tax cuts...
As a Progressive...I would be very happy to have Obama lose...Americans don't deserve a progressive agenda...and they are not ready for it... One more Republican in the White House should "cure" them for a generation...
CONFUSED REPUBLICANS SHOULD DIVIDE THEIR PARTY...!
Republicans are a very divided party... There is the Wall Street Wing...which hates the Bubba Evangelical Wing...but tries to dupe them every election cycle into voting as if they were "rich"...
And the Evangelical Wing...mostly poorer, more religious and less educated, Southern and/or Rural...with their New Tea Party hating the Wall Street Wing...
REPUBLICANS SHOULD DIVIDE INTO TWO POLITICAL PARTIES...
THE POORER BUBBA EVANGELICAL WING AND THE BILLIONAIRE WING ARE TOTALLY INCOMPATIBLE...!
A Political Party divided into a Rich Wing and a Poor Wing...can not survive...
RENAME MLK DAY...
MLK was a political figure of a certain era...now gone... Something more inclusive should be devised...
Its like naming Labor Day...Walter Reuther Day...!
Even the major Presidents...Washington and Lincoln... share a "Presidents Day" now...not their individual birthdays...

FOX REPUBLICAN DEBATE HIGHLIGHTS DESPERATE PEOPLE...
Nearly all the people seemed desperate for help...unemployed, uninsured...broke, foreclosed on...or can't sell their house...too old to work. but too young to retire...etc etc...
No rich dudes telling their God Bless America story...
These folks did not seem like people really concerned with conservative notions about "Big Government"...
They seemed more concerned with their mere survival...!
There seems to be a serious detachment from the world view of the Republican candidates...and the economic realities of their Republican voters...
The only thing that "unifies" supposed Republicans is their hate for Democrats and Obama...and a few talking points like Pro War and Anti Abortion...
....Which in the case of most of these people seems misplaced...given their dismal economic condition...
FOX HUCKABEE DEBATE : AMERICANS CRY FOR HELP...!!
CLEARLY...THESE "REAL PEOPLE" ARE HURTING...BADLY... THEY ARE OLD, UNEMPLOYED...IN DEBT OR LOSING A HOUSE...OR CAN'T SELL THE HOUSE THEY HAVE... THEY DON'T HAVE HEALTH CARE...OR CAN'T AFFORD WHAT THEY HAVE...!
THERE WAS LITTLE IN THE WAY OF SOCIAL ISSUES...OR PRO WAR JINGOISM...OR CAPITALIST NONSENSE...WHICH WAS MOSTLY COMING FROM THE CANDIDATES NOT THE VOTERS...!
REALLY ....IT WAS JUST ONE ECONOMICALLY DESPERATE PERSON AFTER ANOTHER...!
THIS IS NOT WHAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE
AMERICANS ARE CRYING OUT FOR HELP...THEY ARE SCARED AND ECONOMICALLY DEPRESSED...
BUT IS IT REALLY A CRY FOR "SMALLER GOVERNMENT"...DURING THIS "GREAT DEPRESSION"...?
ROMNEY : COLD AND PLASTIC...
COLD AND PLASTIC...!
Republicans are stuck with a creep show this election...likely Democrats will do well down the ballot...
Many people have been "told" that they hate Obamacare...but few now want to take a chance on losing its benefits...and "going back" to the Republican Plan...which is NOTHING...NO PLAN!
Remember...the Republican Line on Obamacare...is :
"We have to stop it now...because once people are on it...they won't want to give it up...!"
Romneycare is very popular in Mass...and Obamacare was modeled on Romney's ideas...which were really Republican Ideas...until Obama adopted them.
Postscript:
And Romney's World War II hair style (ala a 1950's high school yearbook) doesn't help...its more than just "the tie" with him...that makes him seem foreign and detached from real people.

THE NEW ROMNEY : HIS SCARY HATEFILLED RANTS
At First..."Nice Guy" Mitt had a hard time with the hate agenda of Fox and AM Radio...some even questioned his passion to win...
Now, Romney seems to be wallowing in hate for Obama...spewing it like a possessed mad man...and it comes off as scary...
The notion that Obama has been Pure Evil...and accomplished nothing to reverse the Bush Depression is just not true... But they just keep ranting...
If Romney thinks he is going to scold America ....and spew negativity and hate all the way to November...as his Road to the White House...he could be in for a surprise...
Hate and constant negativity and telling the middle class that they are at fault ... and must now 'suffer'...will not win for Republicans...
But they are so invested in these negative notions...that they seem unable to come up with anything else...
ITS ALL THEY HAVE...

WALL STREET 2012 : MANAGING THE DECLINE...
AT LEAST SOME OF THAT IS 'GOING AWAY' IN 2012...
EVEN WITH THE MASSIVE "RECUE PROGRAM' STOCKS BARELY MOVED IN 2011...HOW CAN YOU EXPECT BETTER IN 2012...?
AMERICA IS IN A LONG TERM DECLINE...AND IT WILL NOT BE REVERSED AS LONG AS THE GLOBAL ECONOMY IS IN ITS CURRENT CONFIGURATION... AMERICAN WAR SPENDING WILL REALLY BE TO THE BENEFIT OF CHINA AND INDIA IN ASIA...AS IT HAS BEEN IN EUROLAND FOR DECADES...
THE AMERICAN MILITARY MACHINE IS REALLY THERE TO MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL...WHICH HAS LITTLE OR LESSER CONNECTION TO THE US ECONOMY EVERYDAY...
THE GOAL OF THE POLITICAL CLASS IN AMERICA IS TO CONVINCE PEOPLE THAT "LESS IS MORE"...AND THAT WILL LIKELY RESULT IN MORE TEA PARTY AND OCCUPY TYPE OUTBURSTS...
UNLESS AND UNTIL THE AMERICANS DECIDE TO PROTECT THEIR MARKETS...AND RETURN MANUFACTURING TO THE US...AS THEY DID WITH THE JAPANESE CAR MAKERS IN THE 1980S...NOTHING WILL HAPPEN AND THE DECLINES WILL CONTINUE...
WHO KNOWS...SOMEDAY CHINESE INDUSTRIALISTS MAY BE SO RICH THEY CAN DECIDE TO EXPLOIT CHEAP AMERICAN LABOR...!

THE GREAT DEBATE : REPUBLICANS MUST CHOOSE...BETWEEN...
GOOD LUCK BEATING OBAMA...
OBAMA IS THE GUY WHO:
KILLED OSAMA, END BUSH'S CRIMINAL WAR IN IRAQ, STARTED TO ADDRESS THE HEALTH CARE MESS, SAVED THE AUTO INDUSTRY...PREVENTED A SYSTEMIC BANKING CRASH, REGULATED THE LOOTERS ON WALL STREET, AND SAVED US FROM ANOTHER GREAT DEPRESSION...
OH...YEAH, SURE...BUT REMEMBER:
OBAMA IS THE "WORST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY"...ACCORDING TO FOX REPUBLICANS...!
BE GLAD WHEN THESE FOX FREAKS ARE BACK TO INFLUENCE PEDDLING...WHICH IS ALL THEY ARE REALLY GOOD AT!
WHY UNIONIZED TEACHERS ARE EVIL...
It may be genetic...It may be a cultural... It just doesn't matter... It is what it is...and it can't be changed...
America has no intellectual tradition...unlike Asia and parts of Eastern Europe... In fact we praise anti-intellectualism as being "Real American"...look at Dubya two terms running the nation into the ground...
Most graduate students in US universities ...in "hard subjects" ...are foreigners...
Most of the valedictorians in American High Schools are the children of foreigners...or "new arrivals" untainted by our American notion that Stupid is Real and Good ...especially Popular...!
Face it you want your kid to be the Quarterback or Homecoming Queen...not the Geography Bee Winner...! I pity the teachers...tenured or not...who are trying to teach kids who really don't want to learn...
So...
Forget the Books...! Get your Pom Poms out...!
Trust me...its all you can do at this point...
REPUBLICAN DEBATE : REPLACE "GREAT SOCIETY" WITH A "BRUTAL SOCIETY"
IT WOULD TAKE A JESUS TO SELL THIS DISMAL BULLSHIT TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...
AND THAT IS JUST THE WAY REPUBLICANS ARE PLANNING IT...!

REPUBLICAN DEBATE or, THE BIGGEST LOSER...
EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THESE GUYS ARE CLUELESS AND HAVEN'T GOT A CHINAMAN'S CHANCE AGAINST OBAMA...
YOU CAN NOT WIN ...BY SIMPLY BEING "AGAINST OBAMA"...THERE NEEDS TO BE A PLAN...AND MORE TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH...AND CUTTING THE SOCIAL SAFETY NET ISN'T IT...
NOT THIS YEAR...

FOX SEEKS RATINGS...VIA RANTS...
Fox is out for ratings and ONLY ratings...and that is achieved by controversy and hatemongering...and rants...
Fox has bashed Palin and Bachman...and now Santorum... Fox just doesn't care about conservative politics...
Its all ratings with them...if the nation has to be divided ...FINE...it makes no difference to Fox...just keep the rants coming...
Ignorant and hateful Opinion is controversial...and it draws eyeballs easily...Fine.
But any "conservative" who thinks Fox supports their ignorant views is delusional...
Fox will do anything to keep the rants and ratings going...as "nice guy" Santorum...and his religious supporters.... will soon discover...
Is anyone delusional enough to think that Fox would actually cover "real policy" like CNN does...?
Who would watch that...!
FOX BASHING SANTORUM...?
RATINGS....THROUGH CONSTANT CONTROVERSY...AND RANTS...!
SANTORUM WAS BASHED BY ORIELLY ON FOX...AND TREATED RUDELY...VERY MUCH LIKE PALIN WAS EARLIER LAST YEAR...
THE POINT IS THIS...FOX IS NOT REALLY A "CONSERVATIVE" NETWORK...THEY ARE A NETWORK THAT VALUES ONLY RATINGS....
ANY DIM-WITTED "CONSERVATIVE" WHO THINKS THAT FOX WILL "SUPPORT THEIR VIEWS"...AFTER THEY ARE IN POWER...IS DELUSIONAL...
FOX IS VERY CAPABLE OF ABANDONING THE "IGNORANT OPINION" ON THE CONSERVATIVE SIDE...AND ADOPTING THE MORE ENLIGHTENED PROGRESSIVE VIEW...IF IT WILL CREATE "BUZZ" AND CONTROVERSY...
AND BOOST RATINGS...
IGNORANT OPINION IS MORE CONTROVERSIAL...AND THEREFORE MORE INCLINE TO DRIVE UP RATINGS...
BUT DO NOT THINK THAT FOX WILL "PLAY NICE" IF A CONSERVATIVE IS IN POWER...
PALIN AND SANTORUM CAN ATTEST TO THAT...
FOX IS ABOUT RATINGS... STUPID SELLS...
UNTIL IT DOESN'T... THEN THEY WILL SWITCH...ANYTHING TO KEEP THE BASHING GOING...
Thursday, January 5, 2012
IS NEWT INSANE...CONSIDER THIS...
Gingrich is a high risk candidate... He is not behaving normally even now...
Telling people you are a genius...going off on bizarre "History Lessons" while on national TV...and saying you are destined to be the president...
And then going all foul mouthed when challenged ...is something you'd expect from an unmedicated manic-depressive when the police arrive...!
Gingrich needs to take a long rest...perhaps on a Greek Island...very pleasant...no stress...

IS SILVER READY TO "CATCH UP" TO GOLD...?
SILVER HAS A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO IN 2012...
CLICK HERE FOR CHART
IOWA VOTERS SAY : "STOP THE HATE!"
The most important question is what does Fox do NOW to keep ratings up...when the only choices are two bland non-Foxy candidates like Romney and Santorum...?
Iowans had to chose who they wanted to cut their Social Security and Medicare...and they chose the two "nice guys"... rejecting all the Fox ranters... The lesser of many evils...
Romney has been avoiding Fox for years...to avoid being associated with their nightly "politi-tainment!"
Santorum would be a good baby sitter or scout master...but can he lead the nation internationally...?
Whats good for Iowa...will not fly nationally.
My hunch is that the 50 and 60 year olds who "caucused" in Iowa last night...want their Social Security preserved...and will vote for Obama in November...
SANTORUM AS "BABY SITTER IN CHIEF...?"
IOWA JUST WANTS TO GO BACK TO "ORDINARY"...
TO THE PRE-FOX ...PRE-RUSH ...WORLD THAT SEEMS NOT TO EXIST ANYMORE...
THEY WANT TO VOTE FOR SOMEONE WHO IT WOULD BE SAFE TO LEAVE THE KIDS WITH OVER NIGHT...
IOWANS DON'T WANT A LEADER...THEY WANT A BABY SITTER...
THE MESSAGE OUT OF IOWA WAS REAL PEOPLE WANT THE RIGHT WING MEDIA TO DITCH THE HATE...!
CAN SANTORUM FILL THE "HIGH HEEL SHOES" OF BACHMAN...?
SANTORUM WAS NOTABLE FOR HIS SILENCE AT THE DEBATES...ALWAYS OFF IN THE CORNER WATCHING THE FIGHT...A SPECTATOR REALLY...
BACHMAN WON THE IOWA STRAW POLL...NOW ITS SANTORUM WHO MUST FILL HER SHOES...
TRUE MOST EDUCATED PEOPLE ARE CREEPED OUT BY SANTORUM...
BUT WHAT IS CREEPY IN NYC...SEEMS LIKE A "NICE GUY" IN IOWA...IOWANS WANT A SCOUT MASTER...NOT A COMMANDER IN CHIEF...
CURIOUSLY THE BIG LOSER IN IOWA WAS ROMNEY...WHO PROVED THAT HE COULD NOT BREAK 25%...EVEN AGAINST TWO OF THE CREEPIEST PEOPLE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN DECADES...PAUL AND SANTORUM!
IOWA REJECTS FOX HATE...
MOST OF THESE "ORDINARY PEOPLE" DON'T CARE ABOUT FOX'S RATINGS...THEY SIMPLY WANT ANSWERS TO THEIR ISSUES WITH WASHINGTON...
SOME OF THEM HAVE BEEN DELUDED INTO THINKING WASHINGTON CONTROLS THEIR "MORALS" OR "VALUES"...THIS IS OF COURSE NONSENSE...
ONLY THE FAR RIGHT WALLOWS IN THE FOX HATE SPEECH...
THE ECONOMIC PROBLEMS OF THE BUSH DEPRESSION ARE SERIOUS AND SEVERE... BUT REPUBLICANS REALLY HAVE NOTHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO SAY TO FOLKS IN IOWA...
FOX REPUBLICANS ASSUME THAT THEIR "BIG LIES" ARE ON THEIR SIDE...AND THAT THEY CAN "RIDE THE LIE" ALL THE WAY FROM THE FOX STUDIO TO THE WHITE HOUSE...
BUT SOMEHOW THE PEOPLE ALWAYS SEE THOUGH THIS IN THE END...
Tuesday, January 3, 2012
CAN SANTORUM LEAD THE NATION INTO WAR...?
BUT TO A CHURCH ICE CREAM SOCIAL...
MAYBE....
SANTORUM IS A TWIT...THAT'S WHY HE LOST IN A LANDSLIDE IN PA...
THAT SAID...HE IS PROBABLY A NICE TWIT... BUT AS PRESIDENT...NO WAY...
BYE BYE IOWA...! SEE YOU IN FOUR YEARS...
BY NEXT WEEK...IOWANS WILL BE DRINKING THEIR COFFEE ALONE...WATCHING THE WEEDS BLOWING IN THE WIND OUT IN THE PARKING LOT....
HOPEFULLY THEY PICKED THE BEST CANDIDATE TO CUT THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE....!
CITY ON A HILL, BABY...CITY ON A HILL...!!
RON PAUL WINS IN IOWA ...! VERY LOW TURNOUT FAVORS PAUL...
RON PAUL HAS DEVOTEES... NOT JUST SUPPORTERS...
IN SMALL TOWN AMERICA ... THESE PAUL DEVOTEES WILL INFLUENCE THEIR NEIGHBORS...THEY KEEP THER "LAWN SIGNS" UP ALL YEAR...!
FURTHER ...THE UNDECIDEDS SIMPLY WILL NOT SHOW UP... YOU DON'T DRIVE OUT ON A COLD MIDWESTERN NIGHT TO SAY NONE OF THE ABOVE...OR "I DON'T KNOW."
MOST OF THESE IOWANS ARE OLDER ~ ON OR NEAR SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE AGE... AND LIKELY WOULD PREFER TO SEE DEMOCRATS PRESERVE THESE ENTITLEMENTS FOR THEM...
IOWA HAS BENEFITED GREATLY FROM GOVERNMENT SPENDING AND THE FED POLICIES...WITH THE RISE IN COMMODITY PRICES FROM A WEAKER DOLLAR...
IOWA IS REALLY A STATE THAT HAS BENEFITED FROM THE OBAMA AGENDA MORE THAN ANY OTHER...
THEY DONT WANT TO JUMP BACK TO THE BUSH POLICIES NOW...
Monday, January 2, 2012
IOWA REPUBLICANS UNDECIDED...ABOUT...?
REMEMBER MOST OF THESE CAUCUS GOERS ARE OVER 60 AND LIVING IN SMALL TOWNS....!
YES...ITS A BATTLE OF PLATITUDES... "CITY ON A HILL"....RESTORE AMERICA...TAKE THE COUNTRY BACK...OBAMA HATES AMERICA....
NICE...BUT NOT REALLY UP TO THE LEVEL OF REAL POLICY...
HMMMM.... PERHAPS WHAT IOWA REPUBLICANS ARE SAYING IS...
WE DON'T WANT OUR BENEFITS CUT...! NO MATTER WHO HAS THE BEST PLATITUDES...AND THE BEST HATE SPEECH AGAINST OBAMA?
REMEMBER THESE IOWANS ARE WORKING CLASS FOLKS...JUST LIKE THE "REAL DEMOCRATS" IN THE BULE STATE CITIES...
THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BEING THAT RURAL RED STATE PEOPLE ...CAN'T VOTE DEMOCRAT ...NO MATTER WHAT...ITS JUST NOT ALLOWED OR DONE IN SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTRY...
I FEEL SORRY FOR THEM...REALLY.
YA THINK...?
CAN FOX LIVE WITH ROMNEY AS NOMINEE...?
IS ROMNEY "FOXABLE" AS A TOOL FOR FOX'S RATINGS...?
ROMNEY IS A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO FOX'S FREAK SHOW RATINGS...AS THE UNOFFICIAL MEDIA OUTLET FOR FOX REPUBLICANS...
FOX AND ROMNEY COULD BE ON A COLLISION COURSE... HOW OFTEN HAS RONMEY BEEN ON FOX...? NOT MANY...!
IF ROMNEY BECOMES THE APPARENT NOMINEE...HOW WILL FOX HANDLE THAT...?
THIS COULD BE THE MOST INTERESTING PART OF THE 2012 ELECTION...!
STILL UNSEEN AND UNCOMMENTED ON IN THE MSM...
KRUGMAN : GROWTH MATTERS... NOT DEBT...
KRUGMAN SAYS...IF YOU ARE GROWING...AND INCREASING YOUR INCOME...LONG TERM DEBT IS NOT AN ISSUE...ITS AN INVESTMENT...!
THE REAL GLOOMSTERS ARE THE REPUBLICANS...!
REPUBLICANS FATAL FLAW...
BUT THEY JUST DON'T HAVE POLICIES THAT BENEFIT THE WORKING CLASS...
THAT IS THEIR FATAL FLAW...
IF THE ELECTION IS ABOUT HATE AND FEAR AND RANTING...REPUBLICANS WIN...
IF ITS ABOUT REAL POLICY TO RESTORE ...OR GOD FORBID ...HELP WORKING PEOPLE...? REPUBLICANS LOSE...
OBAMA BETRAYED HIS FOLLOWERS WITH HIS WALL STREET CONNECTIONS...
IF PEOPLE ARE MAD AT OBAMA ITS NOT BECAUSE HE WAS "A SOCIALIST"...IT WAS BECAUSE HE WAS NOT SOCIALIST ENOUGH...!
RICK SANTORUM AND GRANDPA'S SWEATER VEST...
WAS THIS SARTORIAL CHOICE PRE CLEARED BY LUNTZ .... TO BE NOT A "JIMMY CARTER" SYMBOL...?
HERES THE DEAL...
MOST IOWA CAUSUS VOTERS ARE OVER 60...AND LIVE IN RURAL AREA HOUSES THAT ARE HEATED WITH OIL, WOOD OR PROPANE...
SINCE MOST OF THESE PEOPLE ARE LIVING ON SOCIAL SECURITY...THEY TEND TO KEEP THEIR HOUSES COOL...TO COLD...DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF THEIR INCOME...
SO, GRANDPA WEARS A SWEATER VEST ALL DAY IN THE HOUSE IN IOWA...
JUST LIKE RICK'S...!! BECAUSE...HE'S "ONE OF US"...
IN IOWA PEOPLE DON'T UNDRESS TO GO TO BED...THEY PUT ON A JACKET...!
BET THAT SANTROUM WILL LOSE THE RATTY "IOWA GRANDPA SWEATER VEST"... BY THE TIME SOUTH CAROLINA COMES AROUND...
I WONDER WHAT HIS 'COSTUME' WILL BE THEN...!
MY HUNCH IS THAT THE "SCOTT BROWN CARHART JACKET" IS COMING SOON!
LETS JUST HOPE SANTORUM KEEPS HIS CLOTHES ON...!
Sunday, January 1, 2012
CAN ROMNEY BE FOUL MOUTHED AND HATEFUL ENOUGH TO WIN THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION...?
ROMNEY "MAD AS HELL" IS NOT A PRETTY PICTURE...
SORT OF LIKE PEE WEE HERMAN "PISSED OFF"... ITS MORE HUMOROUS THAN BELIEVABLE...
ROMNEY HAS LIVED A LIFE OF UPPER CLASS PRIVELIGE... HIS WORKING CLASS ANGST IS JUST NOT CREDIBLE...IN FLY OVER COUNTRY...
HOW SANE IS NEWT...?
MANIC DEPRESSION IS A PSYCHOTIC CONDITION....IT IS VERY SERIOUS AND IT IS NOT CURABLE (ALTHOUGH LITHIUM SEEMS TO HELP CONTROL THE CONDITION FOR SOME)...
OMINIOUSLY...THIS PSYCHOSIS TENDS TO RUN IN FAMILIES...
PERHAPS THERE IS A GENETIC LINK TO THIS PSYCHOSIS... IF SO...THE NEWT COULD BE "AT RISK" FOR THE CONDITION...
NEWT'S BEHAVIOR AT TIMES SEEMS A "LITTLE MANIC"... HIS MOTOR MOUTH RANTS...WITH VILE COMMENTS ABOUT HIS ENEMIES... HIS CONSTANTLY TELLING US THAT HE IS "A GENIUS"... HIS "BOOKS" WHICH FEW PEOPLE READ AND WHICH ARE PROBABLY CUT AND PASTE JOBS WITH HIS "TEAM" OF RESEARCHERS... WITH NEWTS NAME ON THE COVER ....
HIS MARRIAGES ...INCLUDING THE MOST RECENT ONE... HAS AN UNSTABLE FEEL TO IT... EVEN SOME PEOPLE IN NEWT'S FAMILY ARE OPPOSED TO HIM AS PRESIDENT...AS ARE MANY OR MOST IN CONGRESS WHO WORKED WITH NEWT...
NEWT IS A HIGH RISK CANDIDATE...
CAN WE TAKE A CHANCE ON A MANIC DEPRESSIVE IN THE WHITE HOUSE...?
I DON'T THINK SO... WE CAN'T AFFORD TO TRUST THE WORLD TO SOMEONE WHO COULD GO OFF HIS PILLS AT ANY GIVEN TIME IN THE FUTURE....
GLOOM AND DOOM REPORT : THE BEST PLACE TO WATCH THE COLLAPSE OF 2012...!
TRUE...A BIT EARLY...BUT IF YOU DUMPED PETS.COM AND BOUGHT GOLD IN 1999...ARE YOU COMPLAINING...?
THIS PAGE TAKES AN HISTORICAL AND MACRO VIEW OF MARKETS, POLITICS AND ECONOMICS...TEMPERED WITH THE NOTION THAT SHIT ALWAYS HAPPENS AND A "MUDDLE THROUGH" IS POSSIBLE...AND INDEED LIKELY
THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE TO GET YOUR GLOOM AND DOOM...
WE DO NOT TWITTER...OR YOUTUBE...ANY VIDS ARE NOT US!
NOR DO WE FACEBOOK...WHICH IS THE NEXT CANDIDATE FOR THE IPO "SOCK PUPPET" AWARD IN 2012... THIS IS THE ONLY AND THE ORIGINAL GLOOM AND DOOM REPORT...!
SO BOOKMARK THIS PAGE...AND COME BACK DAILY FOR THE RATIONAL SPIN ON EVENTS THAT ARE BECOMING INCREASINGLY IRRATIONAL...
LISTEN TO THE SPIN AND THE BULLSHIT... THEN COME HERE TO CLEAR YOUR HEAD...
BECAUSE THIS IS SHAPING UP TO BE A VERY INTERESTING TIME...THE CHINESE CURSE IS UPON US!
REPUBLICANS FALL FLAT OUTSIDE THE FOX STUDIO...
ITS BEEN ALL 'HATE OBAMA' ALL THE TIME...AND ITS WORKED...AT LEAST FOR FOX'S RATINGS...
REAL POLICY DISCUSSIONS WERE CONSIDERED "TOO BORING" FOR THE FOX "SMACKDOWN" AUDIENCE...
BUT REPUBLICANS WILL BE FORCED TO ACTUALLY TAKE POLICY POSITIONS THIS YEAR...AND THAT VERY PROSPECT SEEMS TO BE DREADED ON THE FOX CHANNEL...
WHAT TO SAY...? WHAT ARE FOX POLICIES...?
WILL MORE TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH...BE ABLE TO OVER COME THE GIDDY JOYS OF OBAMA BASHING...?
WILL CANCELLING "OBAMACARE" BE OK...WITHOUT A REPUBLICAN "ALTERNATIVE?"
WILL VOTERS BUY "TORT REFORM" AS A FOX HEALTH CARE PLAN....ON WHICH REPUBLICANS CAN WIN IN NOVEMBER...?
FOX SEEMS ABSOLUTELY SCARED SHITLESS AS THE NEW YEAR STARTS...
RANTS AND HATING OBAMA ARE NOT POLICY...
AND THESE FLEDGELING FOX REPUBLICANS, TEABAGGERS AND ASSORTED POLITICAL FREAKS WILL HAVE TO FLY OUT OF THEIR FOX STUDIO "NEST" SOON...!
WE AWAIT THE "WORLD ACCORDING TO RUSH"... AND FOR THE "REAL FOX SOLUTIONS" TO THE BUSH DEPRESSION AND ITS DISMAL AFTERMATH... SO PLEASE TELL US!
WE ARE WAITING....FOR THE FOX/RUSH "CONSERVATIVE ANSWERS"....BECAUSE IN 2012 HATE AND HATE ALONE WILL NOT WIN...
2012 A DOOMSDAY YEAR....!
IT SEEMS THAT A STALL IS INEVITABLE....
