Bits and Pieces.....
Dear Lord what is happening to our civilized country??? Don't watch this video without your barf bag near by. The Lizard looks tired and rather plainjane fugly tonight, no makeup, bags under the eyes. She must be skipping out on the beauty sleep, maybe too worried about Daddy War-bucks and what his future holds. I guess it's their little circle of friends who think Dickless is "Da Man", but the rest of us sane Americans find him to be a despicable slimeball. Last November a Washington Post survey of REPUBLICANS found just ONE out of 804 picked Cheney as a good representation of conservative values. And then we have the CPAC crowd, chanting Cheney, Cheney, Cheney!! Run Dick Run!! fuckin' morons....
Enough of that hideous family...
Here's an interesting young fella speaking today, Jason Mattera of Young America's Foundation. He said our notion of freedom doesn't consist of snorting cocaine, which distinguishes us from Barack Obama. What a fucktard! Oh but I bet his Mommy and Daddy were proud of his appearance at CPAC.
Oh look it's Mitt Romney, he's defending the Bush administration. He's a likely 2012 presidential candidate and he's praising Bush and Cheney! LOL! He says the Bush record wasn't all that bad compared to Obamas,
"History will judge President Bush far more kindly -- he pulled us from a deepening recession following the attack of 9-11, he overcame teachers unions to test school children and evaluate schools, he took down the Taliban, waged a war against the jihadists and was not afraid to call it what it is -- a war. And he kept us safe." Yup, that's what Romney said....
the crowd was quite pleased with the Bush defense and even more so when Romney praised former vice president Dick Cheney.
"I respect [Bush's] silence even in the face of the assaults on his record that come from this administration," said the Massachusetts Republican. "But at the same time, I also respect the loyalty and indefatigable defense of truth that comes from our 'I don't give a damn' Vice President Dick Cheney!"
WHAT THE FUCK???!! These people are clueless!
Here's a snippet from a Caroline Myss piece at Huffington Post, click here to read the whole post,
"If these people could only see through the real agenda of the Republicans, they would realize that they are merely being used as upstart noisemakers, no more than public distractions to create havoc for the Democrats. They actually believe that the Republicans are on their side, listening to their issues and protests when all the Republicans want them to do is make noise. Listening is not part of the Republican bargain. Don't they get that? Why don't these people remember the Bush/Cheney administration?
"No doubt President Obama has made several decisions in his first year that he would not make again now that he sees the consequences and now that he also realizes many in his own Congress want to see him go down. How tragic if not borderline treasonous is that? If his administration had chosen to investigate all the crimes of the Bush/Cheney administration in public view, perhaps that would have made these Republicans a bit more cooperative. But since that's just a pipe dream, maybe the Democrats should mirror some of the Republican strategy. When the Republicans say, "NO", the Democrats should yell back, "NO WAY". You are not getting the White House back and you are not turning this nation into a complete corporate state in which the Constitution is a thing of the past. The Republican creed of "less government" is in truth one of "corporate government". Their covert destructive policies need to be publicly exposed again and again until even their Brown Shirt Tea Party minions can understand that this party is fundamentally dangerous to the future of this nation."
The Republican Party, soooooo wrong for the health of our nation.
I kind of hope that all this rhetoric and posturing is just the whine of a dying political animal that knows it has been found out, and that its days are mostly done.
Although I'm not a old style conservative myself, I do at least respect them, and I sometimes wonder where they are right now, and when they will reclaim the soul of what was once a great party.
Romney: [Bush] took down the Taliban, waged a war against the jihadists and was not afraid to call it what it is -- a war.
And he let the jihadists escape at the siege of Tora Bora and allowed the Taliban to get back up again by leaving their safe havens across the border in Pakistan untouched, something which Obama's more comprehensive policy is now dealing with.
Enough of this meme that Obama shies away from using the war "war" to describe the struggle against the jihadists. He's used it many times.

I so hope you're right magpie. I have moments of being pretty scared.
Magpie, I'm hoping they die off too because I find it harder and harder to look at them as a party that could actually be helpful to America.
Infidel what happened at CPAC is sickening to say the least, but what more could we expect from a bunch of hypocrites!
Leslie, don't be afraid, thats what they want us to be! :-)
