S.O.S.D.G.

The latest round of primaries is over and the huge wave of change continues if you believe the hype of the mainstream media. Women were the big winners in California and South Carolina and Arkansas.

Maybe...

Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman pulled out big primary wins in California proving that money can still buy elections regardless of gender. Both of these first time candidates spent their own money to stand on the victory podium last night. Fiorina was also endorsed by political gadfly Sarah Palin.

Fiorina will take on Senator Barb Boxer, while Whitman will square off against former California Governor Jerry Brown.

Blanche Lincoln is one step closer to re election in Arkansas, while South Carolina is looking at putting another Palin backed candidate in the Governor's mansion in the form of Nikki Haley.

Haley is a Mark Sanford protege, endorsed by Sanford's ex wife as well as Palin.

In Nevada, the tea party candidate, Sharron Angle won the right to take on Harry Reid in November.

On the surface the election of all these women looks like a good thing...a change in direction for the country. However, if you look at what they are saying, you know that Fiorina, Whitman, Haley and Angle are simply more of the same..

SOSDG....same old shit different gender

What these women all have in common are platforms that are violently anti woman and anti family. They are on record as wanting to abolish the Dept of Education, the Environmental Protection Agency, repeal Roe v Wade, and privatize or eliminate Social Security, among other things. They are not listening to the people, but they are listening to the men who have gone before them and who are still pulling the strings.

Bottom line...they are rich people who continue the “do as I say....not as I do” way of governance that plagues Congress now.

It's not the gender of the candidate that makes the difference...it's the platform...

Time to start listening and reading and researching and voting come November..

Clueless in Kentucky

Sarah Palin's teabagging minions are crowing this morning over the outcome of the election in Kentucky.

Their darling, Rand Paul, son of Ron won in what local media is calling a landslide over Mitch McConnell's handpicked puppet Trey Grayson. So much for Karl Rove's world domination plans.

Paul now goes up against the Democrat Conway in November.

During post election interviews last night and this morning, Paul declared his intention to win and to “take back his country.” …..typical tea party mantra....

Paul who was backed by crazy man retiring Senator Jim Bunning also says he wants to dismember The Fed and kill the Department of Education....

Conservatives like Paul, and republicans have been working overtime to destroy the public school system in America...that's why Charter Schools came into being along with voucher programs for private schools...Charter Schools and private schools are nothing more than a legal way to get around Brown vs Board of Education....separate and unequal...

By creating these alternatives....the majority of them bad alternatives....the public school system is floundering, under the no child left behind program monstrosity...which teaches kids to take tests...but doesn't educate them....

On GMA today, Robin Roberts called Paul on the location of his victory celebration, which was a private golf and country club....Roberts asked him if that sent the wrong message to the people he is planning to represent...

Paul did what all clueless elitists do...invoke the name of Tiger Woods to indicate that the golfing world is not as exclusive or elitist as it used to be...said Paul.....”many people play golf these days...”

True....However, very few can afford joining private, still mostly segregated golf and country clubs, Dr. Paul....even if they do allow us to join them in the first place because some of us will never ever be the right kind of American...eh, Mr. Paul...

Paul is a blank slate, waiting for someone..his dad...Sarah...somebody to write on him and point in the direction they want him to to travel...clueless...

In Philly.....Arlen Specter lost...and he should have....the guy is a proven political whore who should have been put to pasture a long time ago.

Blanche Lincoln is still holding by her finger nails...she's been pushed into a runoff...

Primaries are for the party faithful...

November is for the people...time to get to work...

Super Tuesday.....Maybe

Mainstream media is in full hype mode today as several states conduct primary elections to gear up for the run in November.

The usual song and dance goes that Democrats are cooked come November, especially so if certain candidates win today...

Maybe....maybe not...

Since few Americans have attention spans longer than two weeks, many seem to have forgotten that this hype today sounds like the hype of 2008. That landslide election was supposed to be too close to call, remember.

Today, the MSM is telling us to watch Philadelphia where two Democrats, one of them Arlen Spector..Spector is the 80 year old career politician who routinely switches parties to in his own words, “get elected.”

Spector is also backed by President Obama. However, what the media isn't telling you is that Spector is an incumbent and that in order to get him to switch from GOP to Dem, the party had to promise to back him. Hence the seeming Obama support.

In this race, Obama is in a win-win situation, because if Spector loses, Joe Sestak is still a Democrat. True he will have to face the Republican in November, but cross that bridge later.

Then there is Arkansas where blue dog dem Blanche Lincoln is in a battle for her seat with a democratic governor. Lincoln is a Dino...democrat in name only and needs to lose. But here again the hype machine says Obama would be on the losing end if Lincoln loses, because he is sorta supporting her.

Again, Obama is doing party stuff. Truth be told, Lincoln needs to go and he knows this. Lincoln singlehandedly derailed the public option in the health care bill. Win-win for Obama.

In Kentucky, this is a GOP dust up with the establishment favoring one guy while the teabaggers are backing Rand Paul son of Ron....Neither one of them stands much of a chance against the democrat in November, but today's race is being touted as a referendum on Obama.

Sarah Palin and the teabaggers want Paul to win the race, and he may get there. Turdblossom's bitch, Mitch McConnell is backing the other GOP candidate, Trey Grayson. The delusional Jim Bunning is also backing Grayson Grayson is more of the same politics of no that has caused the massive slowdown in DC.

Primaries are merely to choose the candidate to run in November. The turnouts are always party loyalists and very very low.

Once the candidates have been selected, the real race begins.

The question in November is do we go forward into the future....or do we try to once again turn back the hands of time and give our trust to the guys who screwed us in the first place..

My take.....America is tired of incumbents or career politicians so some of them are being bounced today...... That is a good thing. The term career politician is an oxymoron.

I don't think America is as racist or xenophobic as Palin, Beck, Limbaugh and the Teabaggers think...so given the goings on in Arizona with its country wide ramifications, the GOP is in trouble and that trouble will play out at the polls come November.

Super Tuesday is interesting today....but super duper bell wether...don't think so...

Look past the hype of the 24/7 news cycle and get ready for November...
