Political Poverty

It beats me how Newt Gingrich can believe that he is still politically palatable........what sort of internal white wash cleans his history up to where he has any chance of success? Is the country that bereft of decent Republicans?

And now we have a weirdo clown running........Cain becomes more unconventional ad by ad.........when you must explain your video messaging to a mainstream reporter such as Bob Schieffer you know it must be missing the mark. The man seems to believe that he is a law unto himself. Now this morning there are allegations of previous behavior of a current epidemic in politics of sexual behavior parameters that aren't welcomed by the majority of Americans.

Please someone emphasize that John Huntsman is a much more deserving candidate than these two that are grabbing the media minutes.

Did I hear an echo of a primal scream.........where are the good guys?

REDACTIONS

I am getting the distinct feeling that the self-proclaimed Christians on the right in the Republican party have a massively redacted Bible...........Ron Paul for one, apparently never heard of the story of the Good Samaritan. And weren't there twelve disciples to spread the word, not expected to be accomplished by one individual, whereas Paul says everything is up to the individual.......same applies to the whole REPUG view of government.........what about the instructions to be your brother's keeper, and love another as you wish to be loved and treated...........or are all the rightsies going to mega churches where tirades are offered instead of sermons, a la Rev. Jefress that is so intolerant of Mormons, man I am much more fearful of the ten thousands listening to this gook than a good Mormon. Or the instruction to render unto Caesar, etc......Norquist apparently never heard of this.

PERRY'S BRAIN

Is there a search on in Texas? It seems something is lacking in Mr. Perry's head. He has a deficiency common to another Texas politician with the initials of GWB that resulted in an administration dependent on the VP and a conniver named Rove.

Here's a link to what Rick didn't tell you and probably because no one tutored him, about the flat tax realities:

Maybe those journalists that authored "Bush's Brain" can piggyback another book on this phenomenon.

McConnell's Miscalculation

The boomerang should strike Mitch right in the sourpuss's face.......he has used "NO" now for so long that it is sickening and I believe there will be a voter backlash where not a single independent will vote for a republican.

And I make the same prediction about representatives and other senators. The public is weary of the tactic ------ one must wonder, sort of reverse psychological reactions, if they fear "Obama Care" so much then it must be really really good and they don't want another program as successful as Social Security on the democrats side of the book.

Same with other blocked legislation such as the AJA.

I suggest McConnell learn to duck at Olympic speed.

PEDDLER POLITICIANS

Be careful or you might catch the current virus spread among the Republican groupies, called nominees. It is a ghost writer virus. It infects you with a craving to rake more bucks into your bucket and at the same time renders a strong massage for that largest of physical traits among the birds of a feather, an ego workover.

If they can't garner the nomination - never mind -- they sold a lot of bios. Of all people that I do not wish to read more about - these take the cake. Topping the bunch is Newt.........we are already overdosed with all these repetitive mis-labeled "debates" !!!

Beware the Bios.

BOOTS, BLOOD & BILLIONS

Leadership anyone?

Maybe the GOP reps and senators haven't seen any in their party for so long they fail to recognize it. Or another angle is that they do but have great fear of it getting President Obama a second terms. Take you pick. Boehner baying about not being kept informed signals how excessively whiny his party has become.......everyone that isn't a Pug is tired of the act. The Pugs definitely need a new script..

The current clutch of policy results, in eliminating the Libyan dictator, getting Osama Bin Laden and his crony, must be viewed as far more important actions than all the sick choices made during the Bush/Cheney era.

The GOP sadly is too embedded in their Tea Party nursing to acknowledge any positives that happen because of the Obama presidency and his decisions as Commander-in-Chief.

History will be revealing somewhere down the line.......look at the differences in costs - especially the blood and boots ---- the billions matter too, but unnecessarily using our treasure of life is the scale balance. Those lost in the Iraq folly belong right at the feet of B & C.

Monster in Midst of Senate

Read the editorial from this mornings NYT's -- too bad Mr. McConnell ever got to Congress, let alone the Senate, he needs to be jettisoned.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/11/opinion/chipping-away-at-gridlock-in-the-senates.html?_r=1&hp

How much longer are the Democrats going to tolerate the beast? He needs taken to the woodshed.'

THE LESSER

Now it is becoming clearer through the mud that any choice about whom to vote for as next POTUS is going to be the classical "which is the lesser of two evils". This is based on the information now being made public about the Solyndra suckering.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/solyndra-obama-and-rahm-emanuel-pushed-to-spotlight-energy-company/2011/10/07/gIQACDqSTL_story.html?hpid=z1

IMO Chu should shoo. And he should have much company in his exit.

FUMING !!!!!!!!!!

Several things have my dander up, up and up and so it is time to RANT!

Rant numero uno: Commentators that don't ask the appropriate question, example: yesterday John King, CNN went back to that old saw from Reagan "Are you better off than you were three years ago?"........

I would suggest a better question would be " What other candidate in the last election could/would have handled best the mess bequeathed by Bush/Cheney?" We aren't anywhere near a political situation comparable to the Reagan admin. Keep relevant please.

Rant numero dos:

Bernanke seems to be afraid to call a spade a depression, and he's the guy that knows.

Rant tres:

Overworking items that are no longer "NEWS" ---- a la the Christie subject.

Okay I have taken three deep breaths and feel better.
