This Is For the People? Who the Hell Do They Think They Are?

While trying to read a front page article today on DailyKos, the first diary I read had this statement from GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry,;

"....a key player in helping craft the Republican message, has offered an
unusually blunt description of the Republican strategy right now. McHenry’s
description is buried in this new article from the National Journal (sub. only):
"We will lose on legislation. But we will win the message war every day, and
every week, until November 2010," said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., an
outspoken conservative who has participated on the GOP message teams. "Our goal
is to bring down approval numbers for [Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and for House
Democrats. That will take repetition. This is a marathon, not a sprint."

Ok you say, Democrats and Republicans are rivals politically and this is "their game". The only problem here is that the game being played here is how steep is the cliff we are headed over, according to Warren Buffet. (I mean some falls like this are not fatal, if the air bags work). In the past six months, we have lost four million jobs (that does not include the number of out sourced jobs. Yes, that bill collector that bugs you constantly is from India. Hell do they ever sleep there?). Out sourcing under the Bush administration regime was considered good for the economy remember? So this was the business argument. We today see the effects of that failed logic in the ripple effect across communities,or more of a massive domino effect. As a result last November the American public spoke and rejected the Republican trash we had been shoveled for so long and a complete change was ushered in, but alas it seems the Republican Party either failed to get the memo, or like old extinct dinosaurs were unable to accept enviormental change (it's also related to climate control guys).

Instead of change we got from the entire Republican Party except three brave Senators total denial of the current reality. Their ways did not work,hence our economic picture is that you see around you today. Do Republicans see it? No, for if they did you would see some bipartisanship, or at least some joining in with the new tunes the band is playing and everyone dancing in step. Instead you get the tripe offered by Congressman McHenry who openly admits along with other Republicans their only goal is to try and mislead the American people into believing their same old myths and obstruct as much change as possible for their political gain and to hell with us. In their fantasy world delusions, they believe that by at least 2012 we will need rescue by some White Knight to save us from the evil socialist clutches of President Obama and the Demacrats. If though they are successful in the obstructionism, how can they blame the Dems? That my friends is the power of delusional fantasy. Others see the reality that is happening, the psychotic person does not and blames everything on the real world that is going wrong in their lives, hoping like the new Republican Leader Rush Limbaugh that everything fails so they can have a return to their fantasy world. They don't care or worry who gets hurt in their struggle to deny reality.

Take for example the new Republican claim they are returning to a party and core value of "fiscal responsibility" after squandering that myth along time ago. Folks like Sen. David Vitter (R-La) decry the nasty ear marks in this current omnibus bill due to it's"bloated" total. However, they don't acknowledge that they are as much to blame for it's "bloated" total as any Democrat. David Vitter thinks the $249 million he alone added as an ear mark is good, no one ele's ear marks are good though. That includes 6.6 million for research on termites. Other Republicans are just as guilty of adding pet ear marks but God forbid those shameless, socialist Democrats get any. The travesty is too great here. Those whining and yes folks, those lying Rethugs know the bill is going to pass so they are safe to vote no and rail about the debt the Democrats are incurring. It's all about politics and it is getting dirtier by the day. Then the weekend after this bill passes they will quietly slink home and brag how they got their constituents a good chunk of the pie and their ear marks served a useful need while others were just pork. Hey, that's what happened with Obama's stimulus package. David Vitter is treating the American voter with the same lies and respect he showed his prostitute in D.C.

I have always carried one single theme in all of my writings here, and that was the responsibility that the American voter has to hold elected officials accountable. We need to continue to hold Republicans, and yes some Democrats accountable. The statement made by McHenry clearly says the "American voter is stupid and malleable to whatever lies and propaganda the Republicans care to feed us. They have lost their corporate welfare ride of the last decade, brought this nation and the world to it's financial knees yet they call us socialist for giving money not only to their cronies but monies to help ourselves. After the stock market finally had the course correction it was long over due for they still want to give our Social Security funds to their broker friends after the market just lost 9,000 points in the past year. Tell me who is truly out of touch? Then ask yourselves if both you and your descendants deserve better? Remember your parents and grandparents, how they earned the title "the greatest generation", then go back and reread your history,or visit a nursing home and talked to those who survived the "Great Depression". Ask them how recovery was made possible? Did Hoover do it or FDR? Are the tactics employed by this current Obama Administration not similar to the successful tactics employed by FDR? Was there more willingness back then to put the country first, and political differences in a back room for a while?

Finally ask yourselves and the Republican legislators, "who the hell do you think you are to betray the American voter and try to lie and rewrite history for your own petty political gains"? I only ask that you do that when you are casting your ballet in 2010. Let's bury this party of old decrepit dinosaurs.
