You have to hand it to Arizona Senator Jon Kyl, he is a man of guts, and no integrity. He is a Neocon charlatan, and smirks for his repulsive behavior. Oh yes, he is a hypocrite.
It seems that three (3) days after the Senate voted to ban Earmarks, Senator Kyl was capable of getting $200, 000,000 dollars (Two hundred million) for his pet Arizona project. In doing so, Senator Kyl told America, he was beyond the Earmark ban. He is just another Neocon saying "Screw you" to the American taxpayers.
Incidentally, it does not matter what the money was for, it is the principle that matters: that we have the Number two Republican acting like a charlatan and having his own willful rogue way.
So, why doesn't Senator John McCain flap his fat lips. Probably because he is a rogue too. Forget that maverick shit!

Hypocrisy: GOP Style.
The GOP wants the Obama Administration to extend the Bush Tax cuts indefinitely for their business friends with deep pockets. They do this while crying, "We cannot afford to spend more money, government is spending way too much money now. We have to lower the deficit."
If Congress does extend the Bush Tax cuts, then the Obama Administration will have to go hand in mouth to China to borrow another 600 billion dollars to pay for the Bush Tax cuts for the wealthy. The Republican's offer no plans to pay for them. And, it increases the deficit subtaintually, almost doubling it's present size.
However, if the Bush Tax cuts are allowed to expire, or Obama vetos them, we save enough funds to almnost but not quite enough to eliminate the deficit.
Now get this America, the GOP is willing to increase, almost doubling the deficit, however, they will not extend the unemployment for three month because it will cost too much, and run up the deficit.The Republicans again are showing they do not give a shit about America's working class, and are steadily pushing it into the ranks of the poor.
Anyone out there seeing a GOP hypocrisy here?

Rand Paul: Political Jekyll and Hyde.
While Rand Paul was running for the Senate, he promised not to take earmarks, but to work on banning them. But, now that he has been elected to the Senate, he flip/flops and agrees not to ban them, but to fight for them.
Come on Rand, this crap has a stink to it, your word isn't for shit. Just another lying Republican trying to get elected to the Senate. Well, I suspect he will shortly run lock-step with the Republicans when they start waving their leadership on juicy committees. What lies will he tell the Tea Party folks back on the farm who voted for him?

Democrats: Repeal DADT, It's Un-American and Stupid.
Ok Democrats, it's time to 'strap on your balls' and stand for something vital to this nation. Repeal DADT! It's time is over. It was a damn un-American law to begin with, the idea of practically asking people to testify against themselves based on their lifestyle. A person should have the right to live in their own lifestyle. DADT eliminates that right to service people. We have got to stop being so damn homophobic. It is insulting.
I was in the Korean War, and I didn't give a crap if the guy in the bunker with me was gay or not. As long as he had courage, and could fire his gun when needed, that's all I cared about. Or, when the nurse taking care me in the hospital after I was wounded, as long as her hands were taking care of me, changing my bandages, I didn't care who they caressed.
Most of the troops in a war zone feel the same way. So Democratic boys and girls in congress, be brave once, have some balls, or strap some on, and do the right thing for our warriors, they are doing the right thing for you. Repeal DADT!

"No Compromise!" Says the Republican Party of 'No.'
So What Is New?
It is an old story heard repeatedly to prevent legislative bills from being passed. So what the hell is new here!
Ideology Dysfunction.
The Neocon Republicans have forced the GOP legislators into a lockstep 'no vote for the last two years. Any one differing can expect a severe reprimand by the GOP hierarchy. Can we expect anything less from them on the issues of debt, spending, and judicious governance. We will get convoluted logic, lies and worthless promises. What can we expect is our nation caught in ideology dysfunction, and polarized thinking. In addition, we, the American people the the royal screwing.
Myopic Vision.
While the Neocon Republicans with their myopic vision are holding the GOP hostage as a functional arm of government, Eric Cantor and John Boehner said as reported in Huffington Reports favors extending the Bush tax cuts indefinitly No compromise there. The Neocon Republicans know they cannot have their way with Obama in office. So Mitch McConnell has made getting the Democratic Obama Administration out of office his priority. With so much to be done to move the nation forward, it is disrespectful myopic vision that tells people they have nothing coming from the Republican Party.
Step Up and Be Counted.
There may be some newly elected Republicans that don't want to use their office as a political vendetta, and want to put America first by trying to build a sensible consensus. If anything is to be done they will have to act quickly, defy the Neocons, and incur their threats and wrath. They should 'step up and be counted' for their nation needs them, before gridlock sets in.

Democrats: You Missed A Golden Opportunity.
With the country having high unemployment and out of work, but still a viable work force ready and able to to work, the Democrats missed a golden opportunity to put America back to work andcleaqn up the nation's outdated, decaying, and rusting infrastructure. It was an opportunity begging to happen...and fell with a thud to the political wayside by Democrats without vision. We did it in the 1930's with the WPA and CCC.
Can this opportunity to restructure our roads, highways and bridges be regained? Who among the Democrats raised a voice to become stewards of this nation's treasures like our National Parks?
The jobs we lost to foreign nations by American businesses seeking the almighty profit will not be coming back soon, if ever. So why not take advantage of the American work force who wants to work, and let them clean up a decaying America. Don't we deserve it.

Democrats Cut Their Own Throats!
The Democrats were brought into power with Obama's promise for change in the country. They were afforded a perfect time for two years to get something done for the people of America. It is unfortunate they could not govern, and they did not know how to govern. Most importantly, the Democrats in Congress did not know how to come together to work within the party to gain ideologly goals. Most of them acted as if they did not know the Democratic ideology.
They deserved the beating they took, and work hard (doing little) to get the beating! They let President Obama down time after time, and let the Neocons define who they were supposed to be. They were fortunate to have saved their majority in the Senate.
They squabbled, fought and often bucking their own party and the President. They were not aggressive but self-protective, individuals, they were not a coheisive group, but timid individuals fighting for personal recognition. It was a pathetic bunch of elected people. They did not think in terms of real compromise, but capitulation to Neocon Republican' who voted 'no' en masse at legislation attempts.
By their actions, they simply stepped forward and handed the Republicans the sharpe knife to cut their throats. And, elected to office the same people who brought us the 'Great Recession.' How stupid can we get!!!

Our Democracy is Dead!!
The American Democracy lies in its death throes. It is being viciously stabbed in the back by the votes and mouths of the GOP's Neocon Republicans. It took them over eight years of George Bush to do it, but, they brought the American Democracy to its knees, waiting the final Coupe de Grace from this November 2010 election. they want to finish the assassination of our way of life and culture.
World Domination of Big Business.
Americans should not be fooled by the slick, even folksy rhetoric of lies, distortions, misinformation and character assassination from the lips of the GOP, it is their stock and trade. They do not discuss issues. They will look America straight in the face and lie to us. They push a veiled, deep-rooted, unwavering power and control ideology of this country for big business. They will do anything, say anything to regain power and control of America's direction to global dominance, and the annihilation of our fragile middle class. Nothing else matters.
Are We Stupid?
They crave a Republican Pantheon with a furtive desire of a New World Order with businessmen and women running the country. If they have their way, there will no longer be states electing a Congressional Representative or Senator representing the citizens. It will be a Senator from Monsanto, or Congresswoman from General Motors or Ford., or other big business will be represented. The American middle class no longer exists, but is being absorbed into the new poor class of the country.
Corportations to Congress
Based on an unquenching financial greed, big business and multi-national corporations will run the country. Not for the good of the people, but the dollar. The lobbyists who assisted with a floodgate of money for this coupe will be negated because they are not needed. Corporations control the country, so what is their need to contaminate and corrupt an already corrupt country. The President will not be a Republican or Democrat, but from the New World Order Party, and may be from Halliburton or a European country represented by Mercedes-Dalmier. The Neocon Republicans have and ideology of global domination by Multi-national businesses. Our Democracy has stood in their way...until now!
Think about the Neocon Republican agenda in today's firestorm of politics with the dimwit politicians running. After their ouster in 2008, they have done nothing for this country except obfuscate, and vote 'no' on important legislation and deceive the people that they are doing something about the deficit, when it was on their watch we accumulated record deficits. How can we trust the same people who spent eight years arrogantly dismantling the country, and now are begging for the opportunity to finish the job. Are we stupid to let this bullshit happen and turn this nation over to these greedy bastards with their secret agendas?
The Rich Will Get Richer.
The wealth of America will be concentrated in fewer corporations and people, and making them more wealthy than before. While behind our back, they are buying politicians and selling our Democratic Capitalism to the highest bidder., until it simply no longer exists. We will have the best government bought and run by corporations.
Secret Funds.
There will be hundreds of millions of secret dollars pouring into political races in a attempt to place and win corporate approved candidates for state and national elections. We will never know where the money came from, thanks and credit to the Supreme Court's horrible decision in Citizen's vs the Federal Election Commission that opened the proverbial flood gates for non-disclosure of the source of election funds.
The Constitution as Useful Tool.
The Neocons say they won't compromise, and they haven't. They are obstructionists in Congress with their 'no' votes and threatened filibusters. There are Democrats there too, standing with them. They should be gone from public service, not re-elected for they play into the Neocon's hands and perpetuate the 'gotcha' game with President Obama. The Neocons tout they are Constitution Conservatives, however, that is only true as long as it serves their ideology. They have no faith, or belief in the Constitution of this nation.
Strategy: Get Obama Out of Office.
The Neocons have several stratagies to acheive their ideology of global domination by business and multi-nationals. President Obama is doing the right things to clean up their mess they left him. They cannot afford to have him in office, so they have to make him a one-term president.
They will use anything available, lies, and misinformation to discredit him, anything negative that will stick in the minds of the people. Even questioning his birth location.
When we think about the election, we should remember which party gave us the 'Great Recession' why, and how they did it. Most of all, which corporations benefited, and quickly became profitable.
Remember: People will believe a simple lie far easier than a complex truth. Don't believe a word any Republican tells you, they are all simple liars.

Why Does America Kiss Israel's Ass
Israel is acting arrogant again to the point of US provocation. It was recently done when Israel's Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu's regime announced they are going forth with some 1,600 settlements around East Jerusalem. The US strictly opposes any new settlements, especially around Jerusalem.
This announcement came when Vice President Biden was visiting in Israel. Of course, Bibi feigned shock and said he knew nothing about it. When Vice President Biden called him on pushing for the settlement, and Secretary of State Clinton spent 43 three minutes upbraiding Netanyahu for pursuing the construction of the settlements. He apologized profusely, (for being caught) however, the Israeli government is proceeding with the construction of the settlements of Jewish homes. In fact, the Israeli press announced it would be 50,000 Jewish homes constructed in the area. Bibi plays a dangerous game of" hide and go seek" in the area.
Now, Israel is asking Secretary Clinton to defuse the tensions with the US that the Israeli's created, and made no mention of canceling the settlement's construction. Screw them!
The Israeli government has a long history of not honoring treaties, (except when it meets their needs) from Jimmy Carter's watch until present. They keep saying they want peace with Palestine and in the region, however, their actions are arrogant and provocative. Clearly not the actions of a nation who desires peace. Israel will negotiate, and even sign treaties, and when their actions are required they find some reason like the new settlements, using them to wriggle out of any meaningful political negotiations. We need a partner we can trust to do what they say they will, and not act as a rogue nation
Perhaps, it is time for Israel to stand alone, and take the consequences of their outrageous behaviors. The US should no longer tolerate a partner who uses us as their 'Whipping boy' to get their own way. Maybe it is now time to stop the 3.1 billion dollar subsidy we give Israel. We can certainly use the money at home.

Why Tiger: When You Had So Much?
Let me say that Tiger Woods with his alleged affairs has broken no laws, but, has behaved in a very immoral manner for an athlete role model. It is clear Tiger has many distorted, or mistaken beliefs, and acts out on them because he deeply believes he deserves them as rewards for his outstanding golf performance, and will not be caught in his unsavory behavior.
Poor Tiger Woods, the narcissistic man surly appears to be a control freak, evidenced by the setting up of a public apolpgy that aired nation wide. Once again, Tiger was going to have it his way. And the media once again were gleefully sucked into his game plan. Is this really national news? It is doubtful if Tiger Woods is really sorry, except that his wife caught him cheating on her, confronted him, and the media unraveled his sordid lifestyle publicly.
He has spent a very short time in therapy, being a quick learner, he was there just long enough to learn the vernacular of therapy with impact words and terms like: "responsible, sorry, hurt my family, contrition and change."
Tiger Woods claims his affairs is a problem between he and his wife, and he is probably right, it is a family matter. However, why is he apologizing to the world with a publicity stunt on national television?
The problem is, Tiger Woods is sorry that he has been exposed for the immoral person he is, and his sordid behavior has been made known to the masses. All this hype is for two reasons. What Tiger Woods really wants is to play competitive golf again, and to regain his sponsors (the money factor).
The way he set up his bland apology on national television, seems to indicate he is still a controlling person. He believes he is a victim, and not another immoral and dysfunctional athlete who is exposed. If he desires to maintain this charade, perhaps Tiger should have acting lesson on his agenda.
Yet, every man is fully entitled to change, however to do it, core beliefs that led to dysfunctional behaviors must be exposed and challenged. This is not easy to do. It is a journey that takes courage and hard introspection. We wish him well on his journey. He is the world's greatest golfer.

How Can We Have A Free Market Economy If We Subsidize Industries
The US Government uses taxpayers money to subsidize and incredible number of industries like: Petroleum, Insurance, Tobacco, and Financial industries. Not to mention the Farm and Lumber industries. If it is an American industry, it is subsidized somewhere along the line and their competitive edge and the desire to excel is taken from them with free government money. And, there is a well heeled army of lobbyist at work in Washington making sure corruption occurs.
We support a drug industry to help sell narcotics addicting our people on a drug, (Nicotine) for a lifetime of addiction. Yet, we have laws against selling marijuana in every state of the union. Then in crease the prices of a pack of cigarettes hoping to stop the addiction. Why are we subsidizing this industry? It makes no sense. However, it is a huge industry, big business, and their lobbyist control the legislation with their money, power, and corruption. That is why!
How can we have the morals to do this, how can we claim we have a free market exchange when the competitive field is not level, because some industries receive a an unfair advantage by lucrative government subsidizes. And most legislators do not have the guts to make selling a narcotic like nicotine, or its use against the law no matter what the delivering mechanism.
We will not have a "free market economy" as long as subsidies are offered to favored industries and pushed by their lobbyist, Senators and Representatives in their states. Intill subsidies are not given by the government, the talk of a "free market economy" is just bullshit in a nice wrapping of pure rhetoric.

Wake Up America: Democracy Does Not Live In Washington
Wake up America, President Obama is stuck with Republicans who do not want any part of 'Bipartisanship'. He is also saddled with a group of Democrats who think and believe their constituents have sent them to Washington to vote their conscience and personal ideology. They do not care what the people want. They vote with the lobbyist who will grease their palm with cash, and more cash. And forget the common man or woman.
When we have votes in the Senate, the Republicans vote in lockstep against the bill. Not a single Republican Senator will defect, and vote for Democratic bills like Health Care or the President's Jobs program. It is a despicable political action. They do not do your work but the lobbyists.
Don't Wast Your Time
It is a waste of time Mr. President to attempt any wooing, or political conversion of any Republican attention to the real needs of this Nation and its people. They are idealogues who succor on greed, lies, power, deception and corruption from the special interest business groups. They can care less about our country, they have an agenda and goal of a world dominated by business. In the process, they are doing away with democracy and the Middle Class of this Nation. We will have only the rich and the poor. And they have been at it for the last ten years right under our trusting noses.
The Constitution Is Not Their Paradigm
The Republicans talk at great length about the Constitution and Conservatism in the same breath. Their mouths are foul and filled with tainted, deceptive and untrue rhetoric. They speak one way and vote another. Who was in power to run this nation into the brink of financial ruin and collapse? They use the Constitution only when it is convenient to further their cause as the Supreme Court did when they recently voted 5-4 to allow corporations unlimited funding for political candidates they pick and are of like persuasion and ideology. That ruling gave corporations the same voice as individuals, as you and I, but louder and and unlimited bankroll to buy and sell any Republican to their cause. Pathetic!
Wake up America, hold your polititicans accountable for your values, not their conscience or ideologies. Hold them to what you want done in Congress for the good of the Nation, and not Wall Street, or Insurance Companies. If they do not do the will of the people, then get them out of office. Those politicians are charming, slippery weasels, they will lie straight faced to you, and give their allegiance, and their vote for sale to the highest bidder. They are manipulators for big business. It is time we took our country back from the charming weasel mouthed bastards! Vote the out!
They are sent to Washington to vote for what you, the people want done, not Wall
Street, Insurance companies, or Mortgage firms or Financial intitutions. Watch them, Republican or Democrat. Hold them accountable to do what is best for the nation...and not themselves. They are not smarter than you, they just think they are.

They can care less about our country, they have an agenda and goal of a world dominated by business. In the process, they are doing away with democracy and the Middle Class of this Nation. We will have only the rich and the poor. And they have been at it for the last ten years right under our trusting noses.
The Constitution Is Not Their Paradigm
The Republicans talk at great length about the Constitution and Conservatism in the same breath. Their mouths are foul and filled with tainted, deceptive and untrue rhetoric. They speak one way and vote another. Who was in power to run this nation into the brink of financial ruin and collapse? They use the Constitution only when it is convenient to further their cause as the Supreme Court did when they recently voted 5-4 to allow corporations unlimited funding for political candidates they pick and are of like persuasion and ideology. That ruling gave corporations the same voice as individuals, as you and I, but louder and and unlimited bankroll to buy and sell any Republican to their cause. Pathetic!
Wake up America, hold your polititicans accountable for your values, not their conscience or ideologies. Hold them to what you want done in Congress for the good of the Nation, and not Wall Street, or Insurance Companies. If they do not do the will of the people, then get them out of office. Those politicians are charming, slippery weasels, they will lie straight faced to you, and give their allegiance, and their vote for sale to the highest bidder. They are manipulators for big business. It is time we took our country back from the charming weasel mouthed bastards! Vote the out!
They are sent to Washington to vote for what you, the people want done, not Wall
Street, Insurance companies, or Mortgage firms or Financial intitutions. Watch them, Republican or Democrat. Hold them accountable to do what is best for the nation...and not themselves. They are not smarter than you, they just think they are.

Is Abortion A Woman's Right?
Let me put another way. Does a woman have the right to kill her unborn child? Does she have the right to murder her unborn child, for any reason? It is a thorny question about a woman having the right to do what she will with her body. There are no laws against the systematic planning of killing an unborn child. the Supreme Court of the land says it is just fine, and it is a woman's right to due murder of an unborn child, but the second the child comes from the mother's womb, and breathes air it is another question!
What About the Father's Wishes
It takes two to normally make a child, what about the role of the father of the child? There are some men who want the child. We only hear of the one's who do not. Suppose he says : "No abortion, I want my son or daughter."
Why does the woman exclusively have his right, and the man does not? We know he does not have a prayer to claim and raise the child. Is this only a woman's issue? It seems 'Baby making' is generally a equal opportunity playground, and both sides get to play. Shouldn't both sides be responsible?
Is it Constitutional
Tell me, where it is written in the Constitution a woman has the right to kill her unborn children? The privacy issue does not cut it. If it did, why do we still have laws against prostitution? It is simply a woman doing with her body what she wants. I admit, it is a long leap from prostitution to murder, however, there are laws in each State of the Union against prostitution, and for abortion.
A Moral Problem
Perhaps we might be wise in saying that a woman has the right to do what she wants with her body until she is impregnated. Then the moral virtue kicks in. It is the life of the child and has to be considered and protected. It is on the woman and man to take care of the child, considering the child's future. There are many routes this can take, adoption is one. But abortion, the taking of a human life is off the table. and any one involved with it should be prosecuted. Oh that is right, there is no law against. I do not think our founding fathers when writing our Constitution considered privacy as a matter of murder.
