Does anyone else find it ironic that the Republicans hate welfare for people who need it and in favor of welfare for corporations and the wealthy who obviously don't? I mean, subsidies for the largest corporations in the world, tax loopholes and breaks for the corporate crowd, and tax breaks to the upper 2% all while eviscerating social programs, education, and services for the poor. Ridiculous.
Nice to see Obama take on the futures market as regards to the gas prices. Now, put some teeth to it and get it done.
Trump can sound as presidential as he wants, he'll never run. Why? Because he would have to disclose his wealth, or lack of it, and he's not about to do that. The last thing Trump wants is for folks to know the facts of his finances and business dealings. Every aspect of his life will be investigated and I'm pretty confident there are as many skeletons in his closet as there are in mine, and I can't run for President, either. Making noise to try and keep his show on TV, that's all this is.
Did you catch former RNC Chairman Michael Steele on Ed Schultz tonight? It was classic! Ed brought on two public sector workers, one a fireman from Florida and the other a policeman who had both been life-long Republicans until their respective Republican governors began their campaigns against them and the middle class. It was amazing to watch Steele trying to deflect and plead ignorance of the issues. He was even called out for his pandering by the firefighter. When Steele started the segment, he thanked them for their service as first responders. The firefighter responded by saying that he was tired of Republicans always starting the conversation with a "thank you, but...", which caused a visible reaction by Steele. Both of these stalwart Republicans have switched sides, and yet Steele's only answer when pressed as to what the Republican Party should do to regain their votes was, "Let me be clear. I no longer speak for the Republican Party." Fabulous.
If an overwhelming majority of your constituents do not support your policies and you continue to push them anyway, then are you not proving that your constituents are not the voters, they are the checkbook holders? Yes, you are. And that's exactly what the Republican Party is doing. You aren't going to win any elections with 400 votes.
And finally, a bartender in Wisconsin was offering free shots to anyone who would sign his petition to recall one of the Wisconsin 14. No such tactics were necessary for the Republican petitions, which have 140% more signatures than needed. And, there will be an recount for the Supreme Court election AND an investigation of the clerk who "found" 7500 votes that tipped the election in favor or her former boss.
Sleep well, Hamsters!
