Cincinnati Enquirer Wants Mitt Romney to Take Back Their Country

“Obama took office in January 2009 as the nation’s economy was imploding. That year alone, 4.7 million U.S. jobs were lost and the unemployment rate ballooned past 10 percent. The president can’t be blamed for that. In fact, he and his administration took bold action to prevent further disaster. “-Enquirer Editorial Board

First they compliment the President, then they slap him down by handing their endorsement to Mittens. You can read the whole thing here.

The Enquirer's main problem with Obama, it seems is that he didn't solve ALL PROBLEMS IN HIS FIRST FOUR YEARS. That's it. Didn't work fast enough, apparently implying he was too busy shuckin and jivin to get the job done. If you've paid attention to GOP talking points for the past couple of years, then there is no need to read the editorial.

The editorial goes on to say that the country is in danger of sliding back into a recession and therefore needs Mitt Romney to steer it the rest of the way, back to prosperity. In other words, Mitt will take back the country and all will once again be “white” with the world.

I stopped reading the Enquirer a long time ago primarily because the people who run this sorry excuse of a newspaper write as if they never look out of their windows and see the architecturally beautiful city surrounding them. Cincinnati is in the midst of a construction boom...houses and businesses are jumping. There is a Casino going up. The Banks have taken off. There are Black and Latino restaurants opening up downtown. Amazing. But this stuff would never happen if someone other than Barack Obama was in the White House. It would not have happened with a president Romney based on his proposed policies and spending cuts.

And yet, this GOP controlled paper says Mitt is the answer? Please! And please, let's not discuss the re enslavement of women as proposed by the Republican party. This from a paper where two out three on the editorial board were female at birth.

And no mention of how Mittens would handle the wars, or take care of our returning Vets. Guess The Enquirer doesn't give a damn about them either.

The vacuum that these folks write and exist in is overwhelmingly white, suburban and republican, minorities need not apply, ever. If you read the Cincinnati Enquirer on any given day, you would have no clue that anyone other than conservative catholic white people live here, ever.

Been that way all six decades of my entire life and I keep wondering why I still get mad about it.

The definition of crazy is doing the same thing over and over and over, expecting different results.

Time I followed my own advice.

The CEO from Hell and The Bitch Slap Heard Round the World-The Romney, Obama Debate, Number 2..

Mitt Romney, the boss from hell, showed up again last night, but this time when he tried to lie, push and slam his way through the question he got knocked on his ass by The President.

“And the suggestion that anybody in my team, whether the Secretary of State, our U.N. Ambassador, anybody on my team would play politics or mislead when we’ve lost four of our own, governor, is offensive. That’s not what we do. That’s not what I do as president, that’s not what I do as Commander in Chief”-Barack Obama to Mitt Romney

If looks could kill, Mitt Romney would have been vaporized by the look in Barack Obama's eyes, at that moment. Candy Crowley would have had to call for the broom in order to sweep up the smoking pile of shit on the carpet where Willard once stood. End of election. End of discussion. It was over at that point.

All Mitt could do was stutter and badly after that exchange. Make no mistake about it, if you didn't know who is the Commander in Chief of the United States of America, you do now.

Romney blinked. He showed that he is not used to being challenged. What he is,  is an excellent salesmen with no people skills in evidence. After more than a decade of running for president this man still has not figured out how to relate to people. It was obvious that he does not consider Barack Obama, nor anyone else for that matter, to be his equal in life and that is his Achilles heel.  In Mitt-world, nobody is equal except  his boys, his sons and the men of his church.

There is a difference between serving the people and ruling the people. Real presidents understand that. CEO's never do. They lord it over their employees and delegate others to do the grunt work. It's not easy governing from the oval office. Sitting in the oval office requires the man to govern for all of the people, not just the 53% with same size bank accounts.

Prior to the debate, all the pundits wondered which Mitt would show up. The guy who walked onto that stage was the bully who led the attack on the gay kid in high school by cutting his hair. We saw the guy who ran away from the Vietnam War to Paris, while taking part in “support the war” demonstrations full of other young cowardly rich boys who used Daddy's means and power to dodge the draft. We saw the guy who has a fantasy island view about foreign policy.

We heard from the guy who delegated the chore of wooing women in this campaign to his wife, someone as haughty in a Marie Antoinette kind of way, as himself. The “binders full of women” comment felt like another blatant lie given his reticence to talk directly to women.

In another caught on tape moment from earlier in the day, we now know that the Mittens has canceled his appearance on The View, tomorrow because he fears talking to the ladies, especially Whoopi Goldberg. During the debate he barely acknowledged the needs of women for equal pay, equal health care and family planning care.  

The looks on his face showed he wasn't too thrilled with the very female Candy Crowley doing instant fact checks either. He bull rushed her too, just like he did The President, but she refused to back up, doing her job of wrangling the two men as she was supposed to do.

For the third straight debate, Blacks, lesbians and gays were not in evidence, not even in the audience.

However, despite what the right wing nutcase pundits will say in coming days, the election is over. There is still one more debate to sit through. But essentially, this election is over.

Mitt will have to wait another four years to “take back his compa-er-country.”

Queen Ann “let them kiss my ass” Romney

“I mean, lied about what? This is something he’s been saying all along. This is what he believes. This is his policy, these are his statements," …........"I mean, lie — it’s sort of like someone that’s, you know, in the sandbox that like lost the game and they’re just going to kick sand in someone’s face and say, ‘you liar.’ I mean, it’s like they lost, and so now they just are going to say, OK, the game, we didn’t like the game. So to me, it’s poor sportsmanship.” -Ann Romney to FOX News.

Her majesty, Lady Romney, was talking about President Obama, comparing him to a child in a sandbox. She even called him a bad sport. The layers and levels of total disrespect in that short paragraph are amazing. There has been so much disrespect voiced for Obama that people are becoming numb to further utterances from the batshit crazy crew on the right.

I should qualify that-some white people and younger Blacks are stupefied by the levels of hate. We older Black people have grown up with it. A sad truth, that in this American society, the closer you get to becoming equal, or achieving equality at work, at school or in sports, hate and bigotry increase exponentially, still.

So, really, anything coming out of Queen Ann's mouth should not surprise us. But you know it's really bad when folks start using the “stupid C***” curse! Saw that this morning when I opened up comments on my Facebook page. C*** is reserved for the highest of the high bitches. You really have to piss someone off to be publicly called a C***.

I guess no one in all of her 60 some odd years on this planet ever told this woman to STFU. Bet she doesn't even know what that means, STFU. It's understandable, when your husband makes as much money as Mitt, there is really no one except Mitt himself who can shut you down, you think.

To Ann's mind, he is already king of the world, so why shouldn't she and her brood of Mormon stallions live in the number one house in the universe-The White House, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Mitt wins the White House and Ann Romney's transformation from mousy brown haired catholic college doormat to brassy blond first Mormon first lady of all she surveys would be complete.

SHE-WHO-WOULD-NOT-BE-DENIED doesn't see the lies being told by her husband because she gets what she wants when she wants it. Mitt doesn't bother to lie to her. He simply gives her what she needs or wants, and she thinks that is the way he will govern the country. But in her mind, he will give us deadbeats and victims the kick in the pants, and character building lessons that we need to succeed in life in the same way that Mittens has. Nevermind we had to work from the bottom up-no trust fund ladders in our climb, no sirree.

I'm sure in Ann's mind her Mitt will deliver sweetness along with justice and discipline, just like they raised their five boys, who don't seem to have left home and still apparently live in the basement, coming up to work for their father when he needs to appear American-Family-Dreamish.

He will tell us exactly what we need to hear, when we need to hear it, and that is the problem, Miss Ann. Telling us what we need to hear, when we need to hear it, are called “LIES” in the real world, your majesty.

The truth never bends to fit your idea of reality. It just is, and you, we, all of us have to deal with it.

The truth....Mitt Romney is extremely pro life, meaning he is into fetus worship, meaning he will use all the power of his office, should he get there, to eliminate health care for women. In fact, it's the only war that Romney is comfortable with-The GOP War on Women.

Mitt favors a 20% across the board tax cut for everyone...which if implemented will increase the deficit by 4.9 trillion dollars.

Mitt favors increasing spending for Defense by a couple of trillion dollars in a time when the USA is dialing down it's militarism against the rest of the world. And yes, Miss Ann, the rest of the world thinks Americans are full of blood lust and hate for brown people who have funny names, worship other gods and live in far away places.

Showing them how strong we are, only begets more war like that thing going on in Afghanistan that Mitt refuses to acknowledge or talk about. Makes you wonder, is Mitt afraid of war and battle? Seems that way since he draft dodged his way through Vietnam and ignored every other war or military action in which this country has engaged in for the past several years. The lie in this is that he thinks he wants to be commander in chief...no he doesn't.

The truth was told by Mitt to those people in that dinner down in Florida. Romney and his FLAQ (first lady and Mormon queen) have absolutely no use for nearly half of this country. It is not his job, he said, to care about the 47%. Mitt Romney wasn't lying when he stood there that night.

Trying to convince us that he cares is the biggest lie of all.

Mitt Romney doesn't give a damn about anyone and neither does Miss Ann and they prove it every time they try to talk to regular people like us.

The Professor and The Prevaricator: The Obama-Romney Debate

The CBS flash poll said 46% of those who watched last night's debate proclaimed Mitt Romney the winner. Only 22% thought the President won.

So, what criteria was used to judge this contest?

I heard The President pretty much say the same things he's been saying about the country. No surprises there. Yes he was calm. Yes his answers didn't fit the format (he is always too long winded). Yes he seemed a bit preoccupied (His wedding anniversary). And yes he didn't go for the kill shot on some of Romney's more blatant lies (Romney is a dead man walking, no need to shoot).

But I heard Romney claim he never intended to cut taxes. I heard Romney say he is not in favor of privatizing Medicare or Social Security. I heard Romney say Medicaid would be better off under State supervision.

Which leaves me to wonder, have I been living in an alternate universe for the past several months? The guy who tells the truth about his plan is considered the loser. But the guy who once again lied out of both sides of his mouth, changing his position before our very eyes, is said to have won the debate.

Really? I mean really?

Honestly, I don't think anybody changed their minds or formed an opinion based on last night. I think if the election were held today, Obama would win, and win handily.

Romney is still an arrogant, clueless kind of guy in search of power, who feels he can lie his way into the White House. He also turned his back on his base, continuing his penchant for shaping his message according to who is  listening and then back tracking when he feels its necessary.

I think those disappointed in Obama wanted to see more of a street fight, with Obama taking Romney to task for all the lies, drawing some blood in the process.

What we got from The President was the professor, who probably would have rather been with his wife then standing on a stage talking at Mitt Romney and the American people.

Professors or academics drive me nuts. They take way too long to explain or come to the same conclusion that I reached hours before with my ADHD brain. But I would rather have The Professor rather than The Prevaricator in charge when the shit hits the fan.

Based on past performance, I know The Professor can handle it when he has to. He's already proven that time and time again.

10 Questions for Mitt Romney and The President-Presidential Debate Day USA

(understanding that all aspects of American life are affected by the economy)

Romney

1. Your proposed tax plan for the country consists of a 20% across the board cut for all Americans...Since all progressive tax plans are redistribution of wealth from one segment to another, how do you justify giving more to the rich at a time a time when they obviously don't need it.
2. You have stated that you believe life begins at conception. If that is the case, how do you justify any exemption based on rape or incest, and why do you place so little value on the life, and well being of women who find themselves pregnant.
3. You recently formed a Council made up of several of your Black colleagues to advise you on how to reach out to the African American Community, yet so far, we've heard nothing from them or you, for that matter. How do you plan to convince Black people to vote for you instead of the President
4. You are on record as favoring the use of vouchers in place of several programs such as medicare and medicaid or to fund public education for students in the hope of gaining a better education for them. My question: vouchers are a fixed amount of money...what happens to the individual when the money doesn't cover even basic costs of what is needed to buy services.
5.  You have said that President Obama is too timid in his approach to dealing with the Middle East, specifically Iran. Are we to understand that a President Romney would follow the preemptive strike doctrine created by former President George W. Bush, whose approach led America into two unfunded and some would say illegal wars, one of which we are still fighting.

President Obama

1. For the past four years, you have worked diligently if unsuccessfully to get Congress to approve your programs. If re-elected, what will you do differently in the next four years.
2. The afghan war is winding down. More of our troops are being killed by so called allies than Taliban. Why not just bring our guys home now instead of waiting until 2014?
3. Our roads, highways and bridges are crumbling under our feet. How do you get the money to fix these problems and how soon does the work begin once you secure funding.
4. The past four years have been tough on the middle class, yet the wealthy such as your opponent have prospered, so much so that you wonder why they are complaining about your policies. How do you bring parity back to the country so that all Americans get an equal share of the pie. I guess what I'm asking is why should I vote for you, if you're going to continue to aide the rich and let folks like me suffer.
5. On January 1, 2013 the sequester will take effect. Do you plan on preventing this or are the mandatory cuts the medicine that America as a whole needs to swallow, understanding that the poor and middle class will suffer the most.

10 Questions for Both

1. Do you favor codifying discrimination into the US Constitution in the form of DOMA-the defense of marriage act, and why or why not ENDA.
2. What is your plan for immigration reform.
3. Marijuana- legalize or not and why
4. What would you do to ensure that women are finally elevated from second class citizenship when it comes to health care and living wages.
5. Do you favor the repeal of tax exempt status of all churches and 501 C4 alleged social service agencies, considering they don't adhere to the separation of church and state rules of the American Constitution.
6. How do you reverse the trend of more black men in prison than in school
7. What will it take for a Black man or woman to get elected to the US Senate under this current two party system.
8. Creationism  or evolution and which should be taught in school
9. Is the 1964 Civil Rights Law unconstitutional and why or why not
10. Affirmative Action has it over extended its expiration date and why or why not.

Dear Mitt,

Well, son, this is the last letter that I will pen to you, seeing as how you are about to retire from public life and return to your corporate raider day job on November 6^th. Not that you really entered my world to begin with, since I am a card carrying member of the 47% that you've dismissed out of hand.

I've gotta be real honest with you, in the 41 years that I've been voting in elections, I've never, ever seen anything like this campaign that you've mounted. Never. Even before I could vote I watched conventions and election returns on the television for almost as long as I've been alive. The first convention that sticks in my head is the one where Eisenhower was nominated. I was five.

Not one of the campaigns, Republican, Democrat, Independent, hell, even Communist Party, nothing has come close to the amount of total disregard for the facts, arrogance, cluelessness and outright viciousness toward a sitting president or the citizens of this country, has ever occurred in my memory.

I was born during Jim Crow, so I know what it is like being hated and dismissed as a human being, solely because I exist. However times had changed, I thought. You masters of the universe had gotten better at hiding your hatred, until you made your 47% speech to your rich supporters. I guess the feelings have always been there, just hidden. Silly me.

Your assumption that we wouldn't understand your plans for the country is totally insulting, not because it is a difficult plan, but because you think I'm too stupid to understand the words coming out of your mouth.

Well, let me give you a for instance....you keep accusing the President of “redistributing the wealth.” You stirred up your base to make them believe that Obama is taking “their money” and “their country” away from them and giving them to the reprobates on welfare, which is your code for Black people.

What you're talking about is a progressive tax, aren't cha?

Progressive tax is by its very nature, a redistribution of money from one section to another. The difference is that you prefer to “redistribute the wealth” to your rich friends rather than help out those who really and truly need it. So the truth of the matter is, you with your 20% across the board tax cut, are the one who will take their money away from them, right?

Sir, you may be a Mormon, but you're certainly no Christian. I would even venture to say that you are not religious in any sense of the word, unless you count lucre as your god.

It doesn't help matters that your sincerity is as plastic as the credit cards in your pocket. You have proven to be bankrupt as an empathetic, feeling human being. I used to joke by calling you Max Headroom. Maybe you remember that virtual reality clown who lived in a TV set. Max was just a disembodied head floating around in a box.

For what it's worth, your head is on a body like normal...it just doesn't function any better than good ole Max.

So to make it official, I'm not voting for you Mitt/Max.

Our one night stand is over. You weren't even a satisfying roll in the hay. Not enough staying power to get me off. So enjoy your life. I know you will.

And, by the way....If I were you, I'd cast my vote for President Obama, come election day, because if one thing is certain, rich people like you made out like bandits these past four years. He has really, really been a good president for wealthy people such as yourself.

Guess you could say, no matter what happens, you're still in the win-win situation in this life. Enjoy Mittens!

Vote responsibly in November.

MItt Romney's Blind Ambition Tour

I have to be honest, never, in all my years of political participation,  have I seen anything like this current campaign for President of the United States. I am at a complete loss for words about what has been taking place lately.

I thought I'd seen it all in 2008 with the McCain selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate. That move was straight out of Barnum and Bailey. It never rose to the level of Cirque to Soleil.

But here we are in 2012 and it's gotten ten times worse. We've gone from circus to Bizarro world. We've made a complete jump into another dimension. Hard to believe this stuff is going on.

The outright misrepresentation of the facts, wholesale lying and constant prevarication by the GOP ticket and RNC minions has my head spinning. I am totally dumbfounded.

The only visible goal is to destroy Obama and if that means destroying America in the process, then so be it.  Hatred is a mutherfucker, isn't it.

Because blinded by his obvious hatred of the Black man in the White House,  destroying America is what Mitt Romney tried to do a couple of days ago. He tried to slam the President while the President was doing his job as the world watched.

This fool tried to start World War III from the sidelines, or at the very least take us head long into yet another military fiasco in the Middle East, as a thank you to the rabid Jewish clown Adelson, who holds his leash and pays his bills.  Adelson is nothing more than a well funded terrorist on the Osama Bin Laden level, who buys politicians instead of bombs, maybe. 

To put it bluntly, Romney was wrong on policy, timing, and understanding. He fucked up. No other way to describe it. Romney's only driving ambition is to win the White House. He is totally blinded by his desire for power. Unable to see the falacy in his latest attack.

And once again, President Obama has been left holding the bag. A bag filled to overflowing with bullshit by some simple assed non understanding and bigoted Republican.

I have no doubt that my President will fix this situation like he's handled all the other problems left him by Dubya and the many of the same NeoCons who now advise the  clueless Romney.

I hope the American people have seen enough to send this fool back to Wall Street or Mormon Hell, because he has certainly proven to be as useful as a vagina on a man.

Hey White People, "when Massa Speaks, How High do you Jump?"

(update from previous version)

Hey white people, got a question....now that the rich elite have destroyed the middle class, what are you going to do?

There is no middle ground anymore....poor white people are back to being on equal footing with black people....just like back in slavery days in America.

Prior to 1670....poor white people were treated the same as an African slave....Then rich whites got scared.....because when you added black slaves to white indentured servants....the rich guys who owned the plantations were greatly outnumbered...

They feared the po' folks would come in the night and slit their throats and steal their property, in similar fashion to what happened in France during the beheadings during the Revolution....

So they created laws to divide and conquer....stacked the deck, if you will...convinced poor whites they were better than black people....that they were just like rich people...except for the money and property, of course...made them think they could marry their rich daughters and become just like them, (wink, wink). They had white skin and were christian....not like those uncivilized non christian blacks from Africa...you can read here.

And poor whites jumped at the chance to be seen as the same...not equal....never equal...because who doesn't want to better themselves...the choice is understandable.

But understand.....racism....has always really been about class....not skin color.

The game they created back in the day is still working today...... rich  people sit back and watch poor white people...the “scum of the earth”(their words for you) do battle for them against the black African “savages”(their words for us).

An on-going gladiator contest......you against us....them in the stands.

The tea party, the libertarian party, the AIP, the GOP and the Democrats.. for that matter are not and never were grass roots organizations....they are funded by rich people like Karl Rove,  Dick Armey, George Soros....Liz Cheney...Dick Cheney...The billionaire Koch brothers....or the Rupert Murdochs of the world.

The tea party is led by millionaires named Sarah and Glen and Rush....they don't give a damn about you...they talk for their money...they will say whatever money will have them say.

Think about it.....

They talk about tax cuts.....tax cuts for who....you've already got them....Continuing the Bush tax cuts will add a trillion dollars to the deficit and effectively bind your children and grandchildren into modern day slavery to their off spring for years and years to come

Reagan quadrupled the deficit....Bush put the deficit into the stratosphere and nearly bankrupted the country and the world.

Spending has been out of control for years....it didn't just happen within the past four years.  And prior to 2008 Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan supported the spending. They only morphed into deficit hawks when they started running for president.

Health care.....they've got it or can afford to buy it.....what about you....You have Affordable Health care unless or until Mitt Romney is elected president, then he has promised to repeal it in his first act as commander in chief of America.

Social Security....they want to do away with it.....they don't need it....they have retirement plans and golden parachutes, paid for by "we the people." Taxpayer funded and they don't even say "thanks."

Jobs....they don't need them.....they have them......you're lazy because you can't find one...and you don't need unemployment insurance...makes you lazier.

Houses.....yours is foreclosed.....theirs....they probably walked away from a mortgage or two or three...saved em some money.

Schools....they can afford the best education that money can buy....they don't need affirmative action...they have legacies....what do you have poor white people.

Perennial wars.....they don't fight them....you do..... Romney has five, count-em, five deferments....Cheney got five deferments...said he had other priorities then protecting his country.....George W went AWOL for a year....Mitch McConnell got some mysterious discharge...hidden and secret to this day.

Mitt said a couple of days ago that he didn't feel Afghanistan was important enough to mention in his acceptance speech down in Tampa.  Americans are dying in the longest fought war, ever and he doesn't think it's important?

Even when they join they don't serve....they have you, poor white people, as cannon fodder......their kids go to college...yours die in some god forsaken country on the other side of the world...sometimes killed by friendly fire....quietly buried so you never find out the truth.

NAFTA....global trade....outsourced jobs from America....the rich get richer...bigger profits....America dies....middle class disappears.

Mitt Romney is so bullish on America that he keeps his money overseas in secret accounts.  He likes and trusts our system that much.

America's economic  problems didn't happen in the past four years....this has been going on for the past 30-40 years, and the current GOP candidate is doubling down on past failures. Romney wants to go backward because he stands to make beaucoup bucks off your dumb ass.

That cushion making you seemingly better than blacks is gone...you're in the same boat...as a Mexican swimming the Rio Grande to freedom.

But you'd never know it to hear you talk about it...They control you with fear....nothing more...your fear of being seen as the same as a black or brown man.

Listen to poor whites....in the same boat as poor blacks....and what do they say.....they admit there are problems.

no jobs....no benefits....too many wars.....but they blame blacks and browns and other things.

To be sure....some whites have awakened and do understand....the ones who went after the Wall Street rich guys in their exclusive neighborhoods...rattled a few enclaves.

Scared the rich guys...but not enough....they still make huge profts while the rest of us flounder.

If we're to take any lessons from history....then it should come from the French Revolution and go after the guys behind the big iron gates.

Time to go band together on our common ground...and go after those who have always had the cake.

Time for us to eat some too.

Isn't it time for you to take the blinders off and to vote for your own self interest...rather than the rich white guy who is spitting at you like he spits at me?

Hired Help for Mitt Romney

Right after Mittens appointed his wife to head up his advisory council on women, I joked that I couldn't wait to see who he would appoint to advise him on Black People. I really didn't think he'd do it, but he did. On Wednesday, he handpicked his personal negroids to teach him how to relate to the  Black community.

No Nicki Minaj didn't make the cut. Neither did 50 cent, even though he has almost as much money as ole Mittens. Fiddy and Willard probably have a lot in common, but we'll never know, and he will never find out.

In keeping with his staid, cautious and clueless demeanor, Mittens went with the likes of Florida Congressman Allen “slave tracker” West, Florida's Lt. Governor Jennifer “I don't look like a lesbian” Carroll, and South Carolina Congressman Tim “I'm a happy Black man in the GOP” Scott.

These are his national chairs, Mitt's HNICs, all  apparently with proven track records of relating to everyday run of the mill Black folk.

Mia “I'm a black Mormon” Love and Artur “G Money” Davis are  also members, but the rest of the BLC is made up of people nobody's ever heard of. There was one reverend included as well, probably in a nod to the Black Church. Given Mitten's track record during this current campaign, I hope who ever he delegated this task to checked to see if they really are all Black people.

Not that it's gonna make any difference. Romney's council has about a snowball's chance in hell of making a real outreach to the community, even if he is serious about bringing us into the GOP. This is because like most white people, Romney thinks Black people only vote according to skin color, with absolutely no regard for political philosophy or ideology.

Note to Willard: the reason why there are no Black people in the Republican Party is because of the GOP's political positioning. To put it another way, we don't like your politics nor the subtle racist subtexts that typically enshroud it, and, we're not willing to turn off our brains to make you happy.  Whether you say it or they say it, won't make any difference.

And as far as the Mitt's Mormon religion goes, despite Mia Love, there are very few black Mormons in existence either, and this is the reason why:

Michelle Obama

I need to sing; “Mi-chelle, ma belle, son les mots qui vont tres bien ensemble...”

What do you do when the wife of the man you're intent on destroying, beats your ass in public and doesn't even break a sweat?

The President hasn't set foot in the ring, hasn't even taken a swing yet and already Mitt's bloodied, and stumblin' around tryin' to pick himself up off the concrete where Michelle Obama knocked him. And she did it without even once mentioning Mitt Romney by name, or Ann Romney, for that matter (study out says Michelle's speech graded out at 12th grade level of reading compared to Ann Romney's 5th grade level).

Last night was just the first round. These were the warm ups, the practice punches. They handed Mitt his ass... laying off elves and outsourcing reindeer? Got to say, I love my ex Governor Ted Stickland.

To paraphrase current Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick, “Mitt fixed a lot of things, but one of them was not Massachusetts.” Whoa, shaaaaaaaaaaaaaade!

Mayor Julian Castro and his equally fine twin brother, Lily Ledbetter, and that governor whose name I can't recall took turns pummeling the wannabe king of the world. They presented quite a contrast to that vanilla mess presented by the GOP last week, which falsely purports to represent the real America. Puh-lease!

Mittens says he wants to take back America, well judging from last night, he's gonna have to fight for it, if he can. He does have the money, but he has no heart, no passion, no understanding and no brain powering his cybernetic push forward to the White House.

And that is the difference. We ain't got no money, but we have heart and understanding of what will happen if we don't fight. It's as clear as the difference between tuna fish and pasta,  and potato chip sandwiches for dinner.

Can't wait for Bill Clinton tonight.

Mitt Romney and the GOP Fakin the Funk

Watching the opening session of the GOP convention in Tampa was painful, but not in the sense that you would think. It was painful because it was obvious that except for his wife and kids, nobody really likes Mitt Romney.

Yes, they gave him the nomination. Yes, he will be their flag bearer and public face in this next election. But obviously, the GOP is not happy about it. Seems as if they really, really, really want someone else to sacrifice against the President.

For the most part, the applause was perfunctory. Oh, there were plenty of applause lines written into the various badly delivered speeches ( Ann Romney, accomplished public speaker...please), but most of the people simply sat on their hands and looked, well frankly, constipated.

Keynote speaker Chris Christie, who was supposed to fire up the crowd, waded through nearly two thirds of his 20 minute speech before evening mentioning the name of the nominee. Then he went back to the true subject of his speech-himself. What was he doing, preparing for 2016?

The whole room looked like it had been fed Ex Lax and whoever did it also locked the bathroom doors. Pitiful. Absolutely pitiful. The cut aways to the crowd were telling. Grim faces...obvious attempts to look like they gave a damn, when they don't. Sad. Truly sad.

I attended every single GOP and Democratic Convention from 1976 until 1996 and it was always a party, regardless of the political reality of the time. This one is bad. The delegates look as if they have given up, already, and they are not even trying to fake enthusiasm for good ole Mittens.

Maybe we should just give Tampa to Isaac, cancel the Democratic convention and move straight to the vote. Looks like we've already won, if last night's GOP fling was any indication.

Vote responsibly in November.

Romney/Ryan's Got a Boner for America

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, two to the manor born rich guys with a hard on for the middle class, senior citizens and poor people. They don't like “we the people” and they have authored, created or supported programs solely designed to destroy us, period.

There is no other way to look at it. Romney/Ryan will be the death of us all, if this ticket makes it to the White House.

For Example:

1. Privatizing social security-in the Ryan budget
2. “Fixing” medicare-in the Ryan budget
3. Destruction of the social safety net for families and the poor-is the Ryan budget
4. Open warfare on women-in the Ryan budget

By embracing Paul Ryan as his running mate, Mitt Romney has completed his deal with the devil and become the mouth of ultra right conservatives and the tea bag nation. He ensures that he will continue to get the money while the rest of us get shafted.

Fully 3/5^th of the proposed cuts in the Ryan budget come from programs that make up the federal safety net to keep poor people surviving, including gutting job training programs, pell grants and food stamps.

Back in the day, that 3/5^th number was used to tell slave owners how much of a slave they could count for property and how much was considered human. Poor people are being reduced to less than human, once again, by two clueless rich guys.

Paul Ryan's budget  is so severe that the national organization of Catholic Bishops called the cuts “unjustified and wrong.” In a letter the bishops accused the strict catholic Ryan of shredding “moral obligation” to the poor and needy of this nation. Ryan responded to the bishops by telling them he was merely helping the poor to kick their habit of dependence of the government.

Ryan's method is kind of like taking a two year old and throwing him into the deep end of the pool and walking away, in order to teach him to swim. If he drowns, oh well.

And while the less than rich are dying off, the Romney/Ryan approach would cut taxes even further, showering the upper 1% with even more wealth (29% tax bracket) to sock away in some tax haven in the islands south of America.

As for the war on women, which the GOP says does not exist, ever hear of the “Let women die act?”

HR 358 was a piece of legislation that passed the House by a 252 to 172 vote, with 15 democrats joining republicans in an attempt to get the measure made into law. Paul Ryan, Mitt's newly minted VP choice voted in favor of this bill which would have allowed hospitals to refuse emergency treatment to women in nearly all medical circumstances.  Mitt Romney has now officially signed onto this way of thinking. This of course is in addition to denying any type of preventive health care that women need to stay healthy in the first place.

Romney/Ryan is pro-birth, anti-choice, anti-women's health care in toto.

Romney/Ryan would migrate senior citizens off Medicare as we currently know it and onto a voucher system. This voucher system would give seniors a certain amount of money for their health care, forcing them to negotiate with the insurance companies for benefits and coverage.

The Congressional Budget Office says that 10 years into this program seniors would be paying $6400 more out of pocket then they do now for the very same health care.

It goes on and on. Every line of the Romney/Ryan plan for America is nothing more than a restatement of the fantasy land created by atheist author Ayn Rand in her books which espouse “screw thy neighbor” as her main philosophical outlook.

Ryan has said on the record, Rand was his reason for going into politics in the first place.

Needless to say, Romney/Ryan is anti LGBT everything..against ENDA, against repeal of DADT, against same sex marriage.

Just what we need...the leader of the prick posse teaming up with the playground bully.

Great...

Mitt Romney-What We Have Here is Failure to Apologize

"I am an unapologetic believer in the greatness of this country. I am not ashamed of American power. I take pride that throughout history our power has brought justice where there was tyranny, peace where there was conflict and hope where there was affliction and despair."-Mitt Romney

Does Mitt Romney understand that he lives in the era of camera phones, videotape and photoshop? You can't just say stuff and expect it to magically go away anymore.

Somebody is always in record mode on your ass.

The way Romney continually makes statements and takes stances and then revises them once he pulls his foot out of his mouth, makes me believe Dude is not the brightest bulb in the box and clearly does not understand 21^st century technology.

I thought that honor went Sarah Palin, but maybe McCain was right to choose her over Mittens back in '08.

Mitt Romney says he believes in America, he told that to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, yesterday, but he's not willing to put his butt on the line to make it so. Nor is he willing to let his sons fight for their freedoms to be rich and well, useless.

He should have apologized to VFW convention for getting five deferments dating back to the Vietnam War. By the time he got the last deferment, Mitt said he was too busy doing other things to fight for his country, just like his silent but not so invisible mentor Dick “I have a new heart” Cheney.

Romney also said his sons, all five of em, had better things to do than to waste their time joining the military. Seems all they've ever done is watch Dad run for president, although one of them does speak Spanish and has cut a commercial or two, to convince Hispanics that Mitt gives a shit.

A real man of conviction would have stood his ground and defended his actions, like Muhammad Ali, aka Cassius Clay did in refusing to be drafted. Ali was willing to give up his way of life and freedom, a thought that has never, ever entered Romney's mind, let alone understand that he needed to apologize to the VFW.

Instead, like everything else, Romney just refuses to talk about his past actions or statements or stances. His reality is what is in front of him at the moment. It seems he believes that if he ignores it and doesn't talk about it, “it” will go away.

Do anything, say anything, just get elected.

Maybe Dude is a closeted Buddhist...permanently living in the present moment, yesterday is done and subject to revision, tomorrow is another day, still to be written.

Hope he's read the passages on Karma...

Open Note to Mitt Romney

Hey Mitt, “Thought You Said You a Bid-ness Man” 

Dude, I am totally and completely confused. You told us you was a bid-ness man and that we should vote for you because you know bid-ness and how to fix this economy and how to put us back to work.

So what, we supposed to do, take your word for it?

You been runnin' for president for damn near 10 years, and you've had this problem, whatever it is, since you were governor of Massachusetts. You didn't fix it in all this time and you want me to vote for you?

You want us to ignore the paper trail laid down by Bain Capital. You want us to ignore your record in the Massachusetts State House. You want us to pretend that your financials are in order based on a year of income tax returns.? 

 Are you really that arrogant and condescending to the rest of us that you think all you have to do is to tell us "no?"

C'mon man, you runnin' for president of the United States, not your local boy scout troop.

Where's the paper trail to prove your credit worthiness? You ain't even handin' out Vistaprint free bid-ness cards with your name on it, at this point in the campaign.

And then you send your equally clueless wife out to defend your actions on television and she proceeds to put both feet in her big mouth. “You People!?” Really? Sure she tells everybody how successful you are...how charitable you are to your church.....and we the people would see that if we looked at your financials.

Well, Homie, that is exactly what we tryin' to do....look at your financials...but you won't give em to us.

What kinda shit is that?

Okay, so you give to your church....good...great....but I got a problem with that too, seein' as how your church is the Mormon Church...the church that isn't sure if people like me are human and also was the major source of funding to keep same sex marriage from happening in California...you know that whole Prop 8 thing that's still going on out there.

Since you tithe to your church, I can only surmise that you are in favor of writing law discriminating against me and my people, the black ones as well as the gay ones.

Let me be totally honest with you, Mitt, I don't give a righteous damn about your lack of paper pushing skills. I don't really care about whether or not you hit the mark on your filings to the SEC.

What I care about is the complete and utter failure on your part to handle the peripheral bullshit surrounding your apparent ineptness to do the right thing. Why you got to lie?

If you can't handle the circus surrounding failure to release paperwork, paperwork that is done by nearly every other American citizen in some form or other, how the hell you gonna handle anything else that might crop up inside the Oval Office?

I mean, really, you're looking more and more Sarah Palinish every day that you allow this to drag on. I can almost see why Walnuts thought the snowbilly was a better choice for VP.

I saw one ad comparing you to Tricky Dick Nixon, but baby, don't flatter yourself...you ain't good enough to rate that comparison yet. Nixon was good.

You son, are inept, incompetent and completely in over your head.

You should consider dropping out of the race.

John Sununu? You Cannot be Serious Mitt!

Yesterday, Mitt Romney gave us John Sununu, he of the stratospheric IQ and self inflicted tourette's syndrome of the mouth.


Prior to Romney's resurrection, Sununu was last in DC as Chief of Staff for Daddy Bush, and before that he was governor of New Hampshire. While in DC, Sununu succeeded in pissing off everyone from the President on down to the serving staff with his clueless handling of day to day affairs in the White House. It didn't help matters that he regularly used military planes to carry him around the world working or not.


Sununu was officially allowed to resign his position in the Bush I Administration, however a peek behind the curtain reveals that dude was pushed out by Bush the younger, at the behest of his father, for his boorish behavior and his tendency to use military planes for his own personal vacations and travels.


Sununu proved to be out of touch, and arrogant with an easily bruised ego, exceedingly quick to pass blame for problems onto whomever was standing nearby, including his president.


And now the equally clueless, out of touch and supremely arrogant Willard Mitt Romney has brought Sununu back for another spin in the spotlight.


Did he bring him back out of friendship? Hell no!


Mitt resurrected Sununu because he needed a fall guy. He needs an attack dog with no fear or real understanding of the present day world, to attack Obama. Once Sununu serves his purpose, he will be thrown back onto the trash heap where Mitt found him.


So, what has John-boy Sununu contributed so far?


"I wish this president would learn how to be an American," Sununu said about the President to reporters during a conference call, yesterday.


Great way to deflect attention away from that tax thing, right Mittens? Get an old school bigot to call the President names or question his “otherness.” Because everybody knows that only you white guys are real Americans, right Willard?


Poor John Sununu, still being used by the American Patricians to do their dirty work...first Daddy Bush...now Mittens Romney.


For someone with such a high IQ, Sununu remains as dumb as catshit.


Note to Mitt: Release the Kraken, boy...you're losing Mt Olympus.

Mitt Romney vs Barack Obama- The Clash of the Titans

So President Obama is beating up on Mitt Romney about his Bain Capital days.

So the fuck what!

For four years, we have watched every one wanting GOP/teabagger cred call Obama names, make fun of his family and disrespect the man to his face.

We have fumed because he is so bent on working with the wing nuts to govern this country, that he seemingly doesn't even flinch when they call him names or shout into his face interrupting the State of the Union Address, for instance.

He has been simply unflappable while standing in the midst of this GOP created shit storm.

For four fucking years, Obama has been Buddha, Gandhi, and Martin all wrapped up in one body.

Smile and turn the other cheek, he's told us and shown us, as we've gritted our teeth hoping for some comeback, like Malcolm or Marcus Garvey. 

We've secretly wished Obama had revealed  some Kunta Kinte fight in him.

On day one of his term, the GOP Congressional Leadership publicly vowed to take him out and make him a one term president. These vicious SOB's have laughed off every death threat and slam the neanderthals have dreamed up as a way of denigrating this President and his family.

The GOP has controlled the message....they have lied...they have attacked...they have obfuscated at every given opportunity. As a result there is no governance. There are only 33 attempts to repeal a law they are using for their repeated public flogging of the Prez.

33 times? Isn't that the textbook definition of crazy? Just askin'.

We on the left, call him soft because he won't fight back....because he stands there and takes it and tells us to take it too.

Until now....

President Obama has come out swinging for this election and nobody knows how to deal with it. The silly little pundits are worrying their useless little heads about whether or not the President is being too hard on Willard Mittens Romney. Is Obama being too negative too soon, they wonder out loud.

Again, I say, so the fuck what. Romney started the fight. Let's see if he can finish it. Fuck him if he can't take a joke!

I for one am glad and happy to stand back and watch the man whale on Mitten's white arrogance ass.

It's time somebody bloodied this fool. He isn't interested in running a fair campaign. Romney's sole interest is in being “king of the world.” Period!

Romney used these very tactics to kill his opposition during the republican primaries. When Gingrich and Santorum and Paul et al attacked Romney, He attacked back, with more money and so much negativity they had to back down and run.

Obama is basically using the same tape filled with the same allegations that the other GOP candidates used against Mitt. There is nothing new here.

It's just being used better and more effectively.

President Obama is a different animal. He has the money, he has the time and the best investigators available on earth.

And...unlike Mr. Romney....The President has been vetted..investigated and vetted again and again and again since 2007.

There are no more secrets to find out on Barack Obama. There is just his record as president, which really is not nearly as bad as the teabags would have you believe.

Trust me...despite what they say....they really, really, really don't want to talk about Obama's record of accomplishments these past four years.

So, as Rahm Emanual said yesterday “quit whininn' Romney. Mittens picked this fight.

Romney is the one who has brought back the “willie horton” smear experts to handle his campaign.

And there is an old saying in the ghetto....”Don't start nothin', won't be nothin.”

Romney and the GOP been throwing unanswered punches for four years.

Time for some old fashioned payback.

Step right ova here for yo ass whuppin', Mitt.

We got this...

Condi/Mittens- Swirling for America

Oh shit! Mitt Romney's gonna choose Condoleeza Rice as his vice president! Quick let me run out and change my party registration to Republican...

At least that is the reaction Mitt and his handlers are hoping for from Black people. I mean after all, if you want black votes all you gotta do is put a Negro on the ticket somewhere, or in the organization in a visible position of pseudo authority and voila, you get the whole community en toto. Right?

That's how Obama got elected, remember. 150% of all Black people voted for Obama in 2008, including Condi, Clarence, and probably even Herman, if you believe the rumors. How else can a Black man get into the White House? Surely no real white people would vote him in. Right?

Considering that self identified Blacks still only make up 13% of the population, we did obviously have some help-must a been all those suddenly avowed mixed race people, too.

Why all this talk about  Condi, the former Secretary of State and BFF to both Bush Presidents?

Matt Drudge is trumpeting a new exclusive this morning, that Condoleeza Rice is on the short list of candidates to run with Mitt Romney as VP. He didn't say Mittens had chosen her, only that she was on the short list. And I'll bet my next paycheck this “exclusive” was handed to the reportorially challenged wannabe by the Romney organization as a means of changing the subject in the media.

By that I mean, Romney needs time to recover from the latest round of allegations about his allegedly shady business dealings concerning Bain Capital, these past several years, so he is floating Condi's name as a distraction. After all she is also Black and intelligent and her selection or consideration would seem to contradict the feeling that Mitt is rich, bigoted and clueless, following his speech to the NAACP earlier this week.

Note to Mitt: If you want to swirl, what about the Lt. Governor of Florida? Oh right, she's caught up in a same sex/tape scandal down in the sunshine state. Did you know that before you made her your date to the NAACP convention, earlier this week? Hmmmmm?

Anyway....

Rice has already NFW'ed the idea and I tend to agree, after all she is a policy-wonk and seemingly not very politically motivated. Romney has also promised that his VP choice would be anti-abortion. Condi is on record as being pro-choice. But we all know by now that Romney is prone to changing his mind regularly, depending on the way the wind blows.

Choosing Condi would also put a more powerful spotlight on the fact that Mittens is not really creating anything new.

He is recycling Dubya. It's Bush-lite warmed over and what better way to do that than to float the story that you're considering Dubya's second lady as your choice for VP.

It's certainly more fun than selling the people on your foreign cred by traveling to other countries to hold fund raising events.

What? Jerusalem fund raiser canceled?  Israelis too busy praying to throw money at you?

   Aw shucks!
