The Tea Party is going to primary Boehner because he hasn't cut the budget enough or in what they think is a timely manner. They are obviously clueless as to how government works...and at what pace. One TP advocate went so far as to say that Charlie Sheen makes more sense than Boehner. Wow, that's saying something.
Not content to bash the President, more Huckab-s today when he said that Natalie Portman was glorifying unwed motherhood. I will say this, the question by right-wing radio talker Micheal Medved was a leading one and proved that the Huckster will simply bite into whatever the interviewer feeds him. No shame, no sense, no business leading, yes leading, the polls in the GOP field. Unbelievable.
Ever-growing demonstrations around the country prove that the polls are right. The People are against the Republican plans. Team Obama can stop negotiating now. The TP's are splitting the Party and the People are giving voice to their displeasure. Which leads me to tonight answer to last night's question, which also comes from the SOSADepartment: Who is really to blame for the mess we're in?
We are. The People of the United States of America are to blame for what is going on in this country. This is why I posted on Facebook the other day the following: It's nice to see the country awaken from the technological narcolepsy it has been in and stand up for what is right. They distracted us with the shiny objects and told us that we work for them, not them for us. We gave up our voice in favor of satellite TV, IPods, IPads, IPhones, internet porn, whatever. They distracted us with the gadgets that caused our reversion to our primitive simian ways.
We went back into the trees and stared in amazement at the shiny objects. And they took over. The last 30 years has been a systematic and patient devolving of the middle class. Tax breaks for the wealthy, loopholes, subsidies, unfunded wars and other programs have all led to the deficit and debt which is, without question, a crisis. Democrats the other day introduces legislation that would end the tens of billions of dollars that we give in subsidies to the oil companies. The Big 5 have recorded almost a trillion dollars in PROFIT in the past decade and are currently gouging us again at the pumps. Here in Cali, we are probably just days away from $4 a gallon gas and the Republicans UNANIMOUSLY defeated the measure. Even the TP'ers.
That's how the rich get richer and the rest of us start saving cardboard boxes and stocking up on cat food even if we don't have a cat.
We let it get to this. And we are starting, finally, to take it back. Here's a couple of predictions: Scott Walker and 3 Republican representatives in Wisconsin will face a recall challenge and Walker will lose. In Ohio, the voters will get the bill there onto the ballot and defeat it by referendum. Chris Christie will back off the cops and firefighters. Democrats will win major seats and the White House in '12, but not necessarily with Obama.
Probably, but not guaranteed.
There's an old axiom out there that holds truer today than ever. Paraphrasing here a tad: There's nothing worse than an enemy with nothing to lose. And Hamsters, they are out for our last nickle.
Time to get off the wheel and get out there. Get involved, even if it's only online. Take part in polls. Get your voices heard. Let's give them a big Hamster Roar! (Ok, so hamsters don't roar so much as squeak, but if you get enough of them together and try to take the last of their food, you'll hear a deafening squeaky roar...like a million nails on a chalkboard!)
