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.
