Santorum, THE Religious Right Candidate...

All of a sudden I'm nervous...nervous because Rick Santorum is winning in states President Obama won in '08...Minnesota, Missouri, Colorado, Iowa....Religious wingnuts scare me, not because of their faith, but because people who back candidates like Rick Santorum are Fake Christians. Fake Christians scare me because they focus on hate, just look at this list of Santorum endorsements who believe he presents the biggest contrast to Obama. Well he sure does, but not in a Good way...

Michelle Malkin; David Limbaugh; former presidential candidate and Colorado Rep. Tom Tancredo; and James Dobson, the founder of Focus on the Family, which is based in Colorado Springs.

See? Hate...

Never underestimate the Religious Right...remember G W Bush...The Teapublicans, the religious right are definitely on a mission. Santorum scares me even more than Sarah Palin did...



 

I think we are witnessing a death spiral :)

    The Republicans have spent the past 3 years with their heads together scheming and plotting of a way to convince  American voters they've made a herculean mistake by electing the Black Liberal as Leader of the Free World. But in doing so they have alienated themselves and turned the Grand Ole Party into the Grand Obstructionist Party. Even worse than that they have divided the nation and put the blame on President Obama.

   As Republicans in Congress watch the President's approval numbers rise, and as the GOP candidates for 2012 scramble to put forth some sort of attractive message that will cause voters to flock to the polls and vote R in November, it's becoming obvious the Grand Ole Party is imploding. They have nobody to blame but themselves.. .. last month, a pollster told House Republicans that their polling numbers had collapsed while Congressional Democrats have actually seen theirs improve.  The Republican Party is in a self- induced death spiral. This year will be extremely interesting, will the R's continue their scheming or will they work with Democrats and President Obama? Will the Kochs, Limbaugh and Fox news retreat in defeat?  Hardly....

Today's news ...all GOP hypocrisy and more..

I am overwhelmed by today's news. I guess the best place to start is with the Clint Eastwood ad from last night's Super Bowl. You saw it right? Did you think Eastwood was speaking about President Obama and a well deserved second term thanks in part to his genius decision to save the auto industry, much to the dismay of most Republicans?  That was my take, even though Clint Eastwood is a Republican, I do believe he is in support of our president, how can you not? Well, If you are Karl Rove, you are pretty damn pissed off about the whole awesome ad....

Rove, on Fox News today
"I was, frankly, offended by it. I'm a huge fan of Clint Eastwood, I thought it was an extremely well-done ad, but it is a sign of what happens when you have Chicago-style politics, and the President of the United States and his political minions are, in essence, using our tax dollars to buy corporate advertising and the best-wishes of the management which is benefited by getting a bunch of our money that they'll never pay back."

That's fine Rove, you and your Fox news buddies can stew in your own gutter muck...the auto industry, the auto workers, and the jobs market..ALL ON A COMEBACK, and the Republicans are FURIOUS and scared shitless....too bad..

Next bit of good news is the new poll numbers out showing President Obama gaining, even surpassing, Mitt Romney in a general election match up. Well, Mittens people say the poll data is seriously flawed. Spokeswoman Gail Gitcho said in a statement that the poll introduced “specific negative information about Governor Romney immediately prior to asking the ballot match-up against President Obama.  So by negative they mean FACT BASED !  The voters were asked if Romney's wealth was a negative or a positive, do they think he did more to create or cut jobs at Bain Capital, did they feel his 14% tax rate was fair, and whether or not his Mormon religion would affect their views of him as a candidate!! That's it, ALL legit questions!  The more the voters know about Mittens the more they hate him....that's not the voters fault now Mittens! ;)

Oh and while we're talking about Romney... John Sununu, former New Hampshire Gov. and one of Romney's top campaign surrogates, would like you to know the reason for low voter turnout at the primaries...Republicans are so satisfied with their front running candidate they need not bother showing up to vote...Oh my, yes he really said that...!!


Now this next story I just LOVE!  Indiana Secretary of State Charlie White -- the man charged with upholding election integrity in Indiana -- was convicted of six felonies on Saturday, including three counts of voter fraud, two counts of perjury and one count of theft.  White, a Republican, could face up to three years in prison for each of the counts, the Indianapolis Star reports, and will be sentenced on February 23. The charges were based on accusations that White lied about where he lived while campaigning for secretary of state. The jury ruled he lied in order to keep receiving his salary from the Fishers Town Council even though he had moved out of his district.

 The reason the story is so fascinating is because of the HUGELY popular(with Republicans) new voter ID laws that are wafting across our great land causing distress and killing our Democracy, YET the ones crying for these new laws are the ones committing the fraud!!! Google Republicans commit voter fraud and you will be amazed how  hypocritical this sick  party is! Have you noticed they said NOTHING about voter ID in the Iowa Primary? No of course not, they only want these voter suppression laws when Democrats vote...

some more Republican Hypocrites for your enjoyment...

Donald Lukens, Former Ohio Republican Congressman, was found guilty of having sex with a minor - a girl he was accused of sleeping with since she was 13. Also convicted of taking $15,000 in bribes from the operators of a trade school while he was a congressman. A U.S. District Court jury in Washington deliberated for just one hour before reaching the verdict.

Ed Schrock, two-term Republican Congressman from Virginia, with a 92% approval rating from the Christian Coalition. Cosponsor of the Federal Marriage Amendment, consistently opposed gay rights. Married, with wife and kids. Withdrew his candidacy for a third term after tapes of him soliciting for gay sex were circulated.

John Fund, of the Wall Street Journal, a prominent anti-abortion columnist and GOP fund raiser. He lost his position after it was revealed that he impregnated the daughter of an old girlfriend and then encouraged her to abort his child.

John Allen Burt, Republican anti-abortion activist from Pensacola, Florida, convicted of sexually molesting a 15 year old girl at the home for troubled girls that he ran.

Are there some good and decent Republicans? Yea, I guess, but the party of family values, the religious right, the party screaming about voter fraud, the party who calls our President a Kenyan, Marxist, Socialist, commie pinko pig...HYPOCRITES, one and all...

Contrasting President Obama with the hypocrite Right..

 What a day! Actually I wanted to do a post on the contrast between President Obama's morning speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, and Willard Mitt Romney's afternoon accepting the endorsement of The Donald Trump. I think you all know how the day went...

President Obama spoke with elegance and grace as he quoted scripture, he spoke about shared responsibility, his belief in God's command to love thy neighbor as thyself, he said "I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper, that as a country we rise and fall together. I'm not an island. I'm not alone in my success. I succeed because others succeed with me. And when I decide to stand up for foreign aid, or prevent atrocities in places like Uganda, or take on issues like human trafficking, it's not just about strengthening alliances, or promoting democratic values, or projecting American leadership around the world, although it does all those things and it will make us safer and more secure. It's also about the biblical call to care for the least of these -- for the poor; for those at the margins of our society.... Treating others as you want to be treated. ....Requiring much from those who have been given so much..... Living by the principle that we are our brother's keeper..... Caring for the poor and those in need.....Was President Obama sending a message to the Religious Right they need to practice what they preach?, their claim to be the Party of God is hypocritical?, that he, Barack Obama, really is a Christian ???  A Democratic president, a Christian?? Oh No, It's the Republicans, they are the Christians we should put our trust in as leaders of the free world! Really? Republicans don't quote scripture, they never talk about Jesus' teaching to care for those less fortunate, to be your brothers keeper...have you noticed?? They talk about abortion, class warfare, the privileged not the down trodden....these things are not in their Bible...anyway....

Mitt was endorsed by The Donald...woofuckinhoo...how embarrassing is that?? js...

So while I was reading the transcript from the Prayer Breakfast I skimmed over the always interesting comments from the peanut gallery and knew this one was gonna be a blog post for today..this guy was replying to a religious rightie who was blaming Obama for the abortion rate, the fact that birth control pills and condoms did not work 100% of the time therefore some unwanted pregnancies occurred, which of course he blamed on the Immoral Majority and Pres. Obama.....so goes the reply,

The biblical injunction against killing was never intended to apply to anything but human beings--which the Bible defines as those who have been out of the womb successfully for 30 days or more.

The idea that it means anything else was invented in the mid-19th century by the head of one putatively Christian church, who claimed he could change the Bible's meaning as he saw fit, and did so according to his understanding of 19th century science, not anything scriptural.

Then this putatively Christian church managed to convince Protestants of the same thing by waterboarding the rules of logic to inject talk about fetuses and abortion into the Bible post hoc. It now uses sonograms to invent thoughts and feelings for fetuses, with as much basis in reality as the "diagnosis" by Congressional Republicans of Terry Schiavo's "thoughts and feelings" when her skull held nothing but a brain stem and fluid.

And I notice that in ccnl1's rant against the President, he/she/it says exactly nothing about actual babies and actual children--who die of starvation daily worldwide by the tens of thousands, and thousands of whom are kept as actual slaves in the USA right now--plus the millions living in terrible circumstances--thus confirming the liberals' charge that self-appointed "Pro-Life" people have no interest in doing what Christ actually told them to do.

Actual people like the cases of pregnant children as young as ten years old in Latin America who that same putatively Christian church uses its control over government to force to carry their rapist's fetus to term and try to give birth when their bodies are completely unprepared to do so. Such callous disregard for raped actual children is appalling.

Or how about the lady in Arizona a year or so ago who would have died--along with the fetus, which wasn't viable yet--if she hadn't gotten an abortion? This same putatively Christian church promptly excommunicated the church administrator who okayed the abortion.

Worse yet, the world's total population is increasing at the rate of over 140 people A MINUTE. Even today it would take 1.4 Earths to sustainably care for the number of people that exist now. We are literally killing the only place in the entire Universe that we know can keep us alive. A billion people are starving at any given time.

Which make the anti-abortion movement actually the Pro-Death movement.

They say the path to Hell is paved with good intentions. Here's the proof.

As for "human life starts at conception"--Not identical twins. Not chimeras. Not all the non-viable fertilized eggs--the ectopic pregnancies, the ones that fail to implant naturally, the ones that aren't genetically viable, the ones that aren't compatible with the mother's biochemistry. A fertilized egg is a fertilized egg, not an itsy bitsy man or woman.

But even if it were, we'd still need every nation on Earth to adopt China's One Child policy. Now that really would be a "Pro-Life" stance.

Amen....

Obama is anti-work...according to Newt

Bill Maher , love it when he calls out the crazies...

Send all the Clowns to the Moon!!

I tuned in late to the GOP Clown fest on CNN last night, but not too late to hear a conversation that went on for what seemed like an eternity about the MOON of all subjects!! No, not a conversation about jobs and the economy, THE MOON, and how Newton wants to inhabit it, yes, colonize it with 13,000 residents, I shit you not!....Newt:."By the end of my second term [2020], we will have the first permanent base on the moon and it will be American," he told a cheering crowd in Cocoa, Florida, a town with links to the space industry. Pandering to Floridians by talking about a Space Program! "I want you to help me in Florida and across the country so you can someday say you were there the day it was announced that we’d have commercial space, moon colony and moving toward Mars. Cheers? because Newt thinks he'll be president for 8 yrs, or because he and his party will be headed out in space and never come back?  It's too good to be true...

The country is moving forward, the economy is improving, jobs numbers are up, the debt and deficit are still a problem, but the Newt has HUGE government intrusive plans to spend, according to experts, 100 billion to put Americans in condos on the MOON!  Would the Newt talk like this in North Dakota or Oregon?  No, he's a pig who criticizes Big Government spending and then turns around and spews this insane shit, and his followers CHEER.....I can't believe we are even discussing this...


 What a night, the only good thing about it was Barack Obama was the winner again..

Speaking of winners, the President and Democrats are steadily rising in the polls.  An  NBC/WSJ poll showed voters want a Democratic Congress, not a Republican one, by 6 percent (47 percent to 41 percent). This lead is double the advantage Democrats had in the last NBC/WSJ survey from December.

• On Tuesday, a National Journal poll found that 48 percent of voters prefer Democrats to take control of the House while 37 percent want Republicans to stay in control. In October, the same poll showed a statistical tie.

In January of 2010 before taking the majority, Republicans led in an NPR poll by 5 percent and by 3 percent in a CNN poll.
This week, former NRCC Chairman Tom Davis said that Democrats could retake control of the House and last week former RNC Chairman Michael Steele admitted the same.

 Aaaah lovely, my predictions will come true, I can feel it....Barack Obama will win in November and Democrats will take back the House. Republicans are making sure this all happens, every time they open their stupid mouths...

I am appalled but not surprised......

Tonight President Obama will give his third State of the Union Address, I will be in front of my TV watching, so will at least one GOP Congressman, Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., maybe 2, because they "don't (BOOFUCKINHOO) agree with the Obama agenda" and "This is just another campaign speech to bash the GOP", so they are not attending.  Just who do these GOP'ers think they are impressing by boycotting this special night for OUR president and OUR country?  The couple of fistfulls of rightwing haters? Wow, how mature, So cool to disrespect the office of the presidency...

How many times have you heard a conservative say "Obambie ran on uniting the country and all he's done is divide us"!! As far back as you can remember has there ever been a president whose own party turned on him because he spent toooooo much time kissing the ass of the other party???  This has been Barack Obama, pragmatist, reaching across the isle, bending over backwards to please the GOP who kicked him in the balls every single time!! This president HAS tried with everything he has to be a uniter, YOU would not allow it to happen. I don't know, maybe pure hate, stubbornness, jealousy, dumbassness...who knows, all I know is the time has come to flick the hard boogie (GOP) from your nose Mr. President and carry on....We are gonna watch with PRIDE tonight!!

God Bless My President and God Bless America  (and fuck the haters, they are irrelevant)

I don't know why I subject myself to the filth and hate from the rightwingnutfucks, but I do...here's just one example of what they are saying today...


I refuse to listen to the un-American, anti-American, non-American, Constitution-killing Alinsky Marxist, closet Mohammedan, limp-wristed, metro-sexual pantywaist liar…. in any capacity, ever. After 1000+ days of this narcissistic community agitator I can no longer bear to see him or hear him. My policy is to mute him immediately and then change the channel as quickly as possible.
Sadly, there aren’t more representatives like Joe Wilson and Doug Lamborn.

Sick fucker representing the Repuliscum party of hate and STUPIDITY!
