Piss Off An Entitled Republican. Vote For Newt Gingrich

There are several common traits republicans share. Among these, the sense of entitlement they all feel. And they will resort to any lie they have to in order to justify their entitlement to low taxes, less regulation and screwing the poor and middle class and the planet to justify their entitlement.

Mitt Romney is an excellent example. He thinks he's entitled to his low tax rates and the presidency because he's Mitt Romney; republican.


The republican establishment also feels entitles and they want a fellow entitled guy to be president. One that understands them and how they deserve more goodies and government largess than the 99%. So of course they support Romney.

Trouble is for Romney is that Newt Gingrich thinks he's entitled also. And Newt has even fewer qualms about lying his ass off to get his entitlements than Romney. And as Ronald reagan showed, never let the truth stand in the way of a good lie.



As I and many others have pointed out, should this race continue and no winner come out of it going into the republican convention, Jeb Bush has a chance to be drafted as the republican nominee. And before anyone says he will lose because of George remember this. He will win the South. He is popular among Latino voters so he will win Florida, New Mexico and Arizona. He will also win Nevada. Voters in Ohio and Pennsylvania will vote for him also because that's what they do. Jeb Bush will beat President Obama. If Romney gets the nomination the bigot vote will be split between bigots who hate Blacks more than Mormans and visa versa. Our only sure fire way to victory is if Newt Gingrich is the republican nominee. Only the kooks like Newt.


For this reason I'm seriously considering asking for a republican ballot in this year's primary and voting for Newt Gingrich.

Mitt Romney: Benefactor Or Victim Of Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

A problem I've always had with the Democrats and progressives is that too many of us think we know best and can be irritatingly condescending to not only people who aren't in total agreement with every wondrous thing we say, but in many cases, irritatingly condescending to people that agree with everything we say since our thoughts are so wondrous and our minds so advanced we must treat everyone like shit.



Republicans don;t have this problem with their elites since their ideas and thoughts are so simplistic and ignorant they can't feel the elitism too many liberals feel. And this makes the right leaning voter so damn loyal while too many progressive leaning voters think voting for Ralph Nader is sending a message or some ridiculous thing. Or holding a grudge because our candidate lost the primary so I won't support the other guy.



This has been an advantage held by republicans since 1972 when the democratic primary ended up with George McGovern beating Hubert Humphrey and Edmund Muskie. Since then the only way the Democrats could win was not so much by great ideas and inspiring message, but because shit was so bad thanks to republican mismanagement that there was no way a republican could win.


The republicans are experts at taking shit and making chocolate cake out of it. Ronald Reagan is the greatest example. George W. Bush, who just enough Americans were convinced was a compassionate conservative and not the total moron and shithead he showed us he was during debates, is another great example. But sadly for republicans, good for America, they have nobody running in their primaries that not even Karl Rove could bake chocolate cake out of.


Looking at Iowa and how some votes were "lost", it means Mitt Romney actually came in second to Rick Santorum. Too bad for Rick Santorum that Romney got all the headlines for winning Iowa.

John McCain endorsed Romney but the reality is that nobody cares what that addle brained joke McCain thinks. Tea party favorites like Michelle Bachman and Rick Perry endorsed Gingrich. And these two people are idiots which gives their words great weight among the idiots who make up the republican voting base.


Mitt has a great organization and lots of money. But for whatever reason, there's always something about Mitt that makes republicans want to look elsewhere. Crazy shit is happening. It's almost as if it's designed to keep Mitt from getting a lock on the nomination, while making sure whomever charges up the polls is an unelectable kook like Bachman, Santorum, Cain or Gingrich.


Republicans are is nothing else, organized and obedient. They will vote for whomever the republican nominee is. And as of now, that nominee hasn't been chosen for them. The pot is being stirred and it may end up being Romney for no other reason that the republican elite have figured out Obama is going to win anyway and he deserves another term. Why waste Jeb Bush, Chris Christie or Marco Rubio when Rove and the right wing spinmeisters have four years to mold them into right wing deities?

Spending, Borrowing and Profiting Like Mitt Romney

My man Jack Jodell has a great post up on why Mitt Romney would be a crummy president. The guy is a dishonest asshole but is blessed with nice posture and hair.


Mitt's company, Bain Capital, does what I call "money for nothing." And ironically, while this asshole calls for government to reduce it's debt and cut and all the other stuff, he made millions on BORROWED MONEY.

The words "debt" and "borrow" have been replaced in business lexicon with the word "leverage." That's all leverage is is borrowing. So just like righties are trained to use nice words that are either meaningless, or mean something other than their traditional meaning, leverage is the word used rather than borrowing because borrowing is now a dirty word.


Just as the term "job creators" makes the deluded happy because they think what the "job creators" are are benevolent job creators, rather than what they really are is American job destroying greedy bastards that don't give a rat's ass about anyone not belonging to the country club. "Leverage" makes the deluded and uneducated to what it is feel good about it. Like it's a wonderful business thing. The most dangerous is when a company is described as "highly leveraged." That means they owe a boatload of money.

Mitt had his wealthy investors to use as collateral to borrow, or leverage, from big banks so he could raid distressed companies that still had great asset value.

In essence, companies that had fallen on hard times selling their products, but still had great asset ts like land and equipment or patents. Mitt would use his investors cash as well as all he could get from the big banks and buy up these companies. Lay off workers. Raid their pensions. Sell off the assets and if the business was a dud, bankrupt it. Mitt and his pals took their profits from asset sales and laughed all the way to the bank. And of course Bain Capital profits were shielded from bankruptcy proceedings, the sap banks that loaned money to Mitt and his company were the ones getting screwed. In addition to the banks depositors and shareholders.


Good work if you have a bunch of rich buddies to invest and make your balance sheet look good the bank you're going to use to "leverage" your investments.


And as a lover of good irony, I love that Mitt made boatloads of money from borrowing. Typical republican hypocrite. And if anyone thinks this joker or any other republican will actually stop spending and borrowing and shoving the debts up the collective ass of the middle class is deluded.

Republicans Are Whining Because They're Losing The Class War

Poor deluded whiny republicans. Their most recent talking point is accusing President Obama and others on the left of "class warfare." Of course this and their pathetic "job creators" phrase are total bullshit.


The reason republicans are whiny babies about it is because they're losing. Mitt Romney And George Bush never had to worry a day in their lives about how to pay the mortgage or electric bill. Yet the minions of Mitt are dutifully repeating this Left's using class warfare against them. Dupes and sheep is what any righty who falls for this latest nonsense from the same Rove and RNC crowd that brought us the bullshit Tea Baggers and Heritage Foundation and Cato Institute.


These republican liars push out their bullshit about people on unemployment or welfare being lazy bums who don't want to work. Yet thousands of these people are returning war Veterans who volunteered to fight wars and occupations started by draft dodging shitheads and deferment boys like Dick Cheney.


It's obvious to anyone of saner mind that the right is nothing but a small group of propagandists touting pro rich guy shit, with millions of deluded followers who will parrot anything they're told by Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity in hopes that their sucking ass will lead to something for them. Unfortunately, desperation never leads to good judgement. Desperate deluded fools are easily exploited by the right wing propagandists. They kneel down and thank Bush and Reagan for tax cuts that amounted to a few measly bucks a week for them while their health insurance becomes unaffordable and price of gas skyrockets. While college becomes unaffordable to their children they demand government keep it's hands off Social Security and we spend even more on defense which doesn't make us safer but does enrich Cheney's old pals at Haliburton.



And while all this is going on the dupes whine because a left leaning guy said Romney is out of touch with mainstream America. Oh. And by the way, Huntsman and Gingrich and Santorum have said that also. But Romney's in the lead. Huh. Anyone still wonder who runs the republican party? It ain't moderates or Jesus freaks or adulterers. It's rich guys. Just like Mitt Romney. But the dupes will convince themselves that they are in charge and Mitt and the republicans are on their side. And they will decry class warfare on their blogs. the message boards. The letters to the editor and phone in shows.

It's no wonder these dupes never tire of parroting right wing bullshit. How much effort does it take when someone is just pulling their puppet strings?

The Iowa Caucus

Sorry for my lack of posts lately. Been busy.

Sorry I have nothing worth noting about the Iowa Caucuses either. They're all liars and assholes. Newt Gingrich agrees with me.


Whether they want to admit it or not, everyone agrees with me. Good sense is my shield and truth is my sword. 2012 will not be a good year for the deluded right wing fools and their masters if I have anything to do with it.

President Obama will crush his opponent this November. Democrats will win the House. Truth 101 will continue his crusade of truth and wisdom. And drink beer.

How Obama Could Destroy The Republican Party In 2013

I've always said that respect is born out of fear. And up to now republicans had no reason to fear President Obama. They always got their way. Until now.

President Obama relentlessly drove home the message that republicans are more concerned keeping tax cuts for millionaires than middle class Americans. Which is of course the truth. And today Boehner and Cantor had to back down and the middle class will keep it's payroll tax cut.


While I never wanted the payroll tax cut in the first place, I'm glad President Obama stood up these assholes. And this should show him that they will back down. Enough of them did that there could be a rift growing in the republican ranks. And to keep it growing republicans must be afraid that President Obama will continue to stand up to them and not compromise everything away. In addition to that, as Obama's power grows, his influence among the electorate grows. More republicans in districts they think are vulnerable will start acting like Democrats in hopes Obama will not campaign against them.



All Obama has to do is win in 2012. Considering the idiots in the republican presidential primaries, that should be pretty easy. The tea bagger phenomena continues to wane. I was even thinking of running for Congress against the kook Bobby Schilling who is against taxes and government while the biggest employer in his hometown is government. (I'd do everything here as it's free and I'm out of the good graces of the democrat hierarchy who in the end will get whomever they choose through the primary anyway)



Another good thing for Obama to do to make republicans afraid is to hold off on the pipeline they want. The big thing for republicans is pipeline contractors that donate them and their pacs big bucks. So screw em and make sure every chance anyone on the left gets remind America how republicans don't care about their property and safety when a big company is trying to make a big profit TAKING YOU LAND THROUGH EMINENT DOMAIN so they can build a pipeline from Canada to Texas through it and ship the oil overseas.


And Obama could actually make the dirty coal plants that Congress directed the EPA to clean up 20 years ago to finally clean up and quit spitting tons of mercury and other dangerous chemicals in the air we breathe. And all the republican lives about lost jobs need to be exposed since we will still need power and it will have to come from a new or updated plant which will use the people from the old plants plus [provide jobs for the people building and or upgrading the old plants. There isn't much more heartbreaking than a little baby coughing and nothing we can do about it because republicans want to allow big utilities to keep spitting mercury and sulphur into the air. Dead babies are no joke. But apparently contributions from big energy companies are more important to republicans than dead babies.

Dr. Strangelove. Or how I learned to stop worrying and use Ronald Reagan

Over the years my frustration at Democrats refusing to listen to me has grown to more a feeling of bemusement. Democratic politicians, once getting elected thanks to the democratic party apparatus, generally give the finger to democratic ideals in favor of corporate whorism. And with the power of incumbency, we're stuck with them.


I've had more than one democratic candidate do nothing of what I advised them. Candidates running for judge or district attorney were advised to run as being tough on crime. But don't listen to old Truth 101. What does he know. The voters want nice people who run because they love their families and would bring nice qualities to offices who's job it PUT FUCKING CRIMINALS IN FUCKING JAIL!


But no. What do I know.

Or naive candidates that believe a positive message and not attacking opponents and standing up for themselves will win them election. These well meaning, albeit foolish individuals think being able to "live with themselves" justifies losing elections to assholes is better than winning election and keeping assholes from fucking things up is a wonderful thing.


So at last night's republican debate I was heartened that at least Newt Gingrich had the good sense to swallow his pride and take my advice. He invoked the name of Ronald Reagan.

I've always said whenever a republican is in trouble, shit, whenever they're not in trouble, just say "Ronald Reagan." Even better is if you can position yourself in front of the American Flag.


In fact, Democrats, if one had the balls, should do the same thing. You can always add the caveat that Reagan was a union president and worked with Tip O'Neal to save Social Security.



Of course nobody will listen to me. They never do.
