The Republicans have pulled exactly this same crap every single time in the past when the national budget has come under consideration. It’s full-on public extortion, but no one seems to be able to see it—-nor can anyone seem to remember it. They will hold America by the throat, threatening to shut the country down, and at the same time they shout to all who will listen how it’s the fault of the Democrats for not knuckling under immediately. When the Republicans try to pull this shit, it’s “saving the country.” When the Democrats try to stop them, they’re “playing politics.”

In the end, the Republicans will get one more tiny increment closer to their overall goal—-dismantling the entire social services network, including Social Security and Medicare, and giving the proceeds to their already unbelievably wealthy controllers—-those rich patrons that have seen to it over the years that the Republican Party maintains the invisible funding necessary to establish all those lying PACs and professional scumbags like the Swift Boat Character Assassins. Most Republican politicians are nothing but well-dressed criminals, lying thieves in the process of stealing the leadership of this once-great nation. You can help stop them with your vote.

“Obama will continue to offer Republicans sensible ways to refrain from
committing a shockingly unpatriotic act of economic vandalism.”- Eugene
Robinson

The being who uses the name, Barack Hussein Obama, born in Kenya, a CIA
offspring-type, who was and is not qualified to run for the U.S. Presidency,
has never offered a plan to any activity within the U.S. GOV, that qualifies
for the title, “sensible.”  The moguls that Control the Tax-Exempt
Foundations and Comparable Organizations, uncovered by Norman Dodd and the
Reese Committee in the 1950s to be engaged in the undermining of democracy
in the United States, installed their CIA puppet Obama to accelerate the
destruction of democracy and the establishment of a dictatorship in the
U.S.A., not to provide sensible ideas. 

The Republican Party is manipulated by the Bush family, WWII NAZI entourage,
while the Democrat Party is manipulated by the Rockefellers, Rothschilds and
other Zionists who manage the Tax-Exempt Foundations that have been
destroying US democracy for sixty years. Any idea, offered by the leader of
one of these groups to the other group, would have to contribute to their
common goal, the destruction of US democracy, in order to be considered a
sensible concept to the other group.

Unless the patriotic members of the CIA, NSA, Secret Service, similar
organizations and USMilitary begin immediately to “unravel” the leadership
of the USGOV dictatorship, the leadership of the United States empire will
require an action similar to that of the “allied powers” of WWII. Just as
“outsiders” were required to stop the Hitler society from overtaking Europe,
“outsiders” will be required to stop the Hitler society from destroying the
U.S.A., and overtaking the world. 

A shockingly unpatriotic act was the writing of this bull-shit article
penned by Eugene Robinson, and the publication of it by Truthdig.

You are playing into the baloney Mr. Robinson.

What would Obama’s proposed concessions really do to help the economy. The “leadership” in both parties has no intention of doing anything to help the poor and disenfranchised, the people who have lost their jobs, the people who have lost their homes. the people who are holding underwater mortgages.

Any deal they have been disscussing would be pathetically useless for reducing the debt in the short, medium, or long term.

Stop waving around that 45 Magnum and start talking turkey my friend.

P.S. I liked your column on Obama’s Afghanistan speech. I liked it a lot.

“MAKE MY DAY!” screams the headline.

Let’s see, Obama has pledged to cut programs for the middle class four times
over the trifling changes in revenue. And we know what will happen to ‘revenue
increases’ - the same things that happened to health insurance non-reform,
financial industry non-reform and reining in the ‘war on terror’.

How can this author with a straight face peddle to us that we have ‘won’?
Obama and his ‘advisors’ may believe he’s ‘won’ (or wish he had), but by
electing Obama the middle class continues to lose. It’s as if we still had George
Bush - there have been few substantive changes, though we all expected
‘change you can believe in’.

It’s the voters who have lost and who will replace Obama in 2012, either with a
new Democratic candidate or a Republican.

Obama cannot sell to the American voters what he is peddling - warmed over
Republican solutions. Obama could have won only by being a Democrat. Long
ago, he set that aside. What a waste of a Presidency.

For ways Obama has turned his back on what the American people wanted,
please, review the following:

1. Debt & Taxes: 72% of us support raising taxes on the rich including 68% of
Independen­ts and 54% of Republican­s -Washingto­n Post-ABC poll Washington
Post-ABC poll, Spring 2011. Obama first with McConnell, then with Boehner
‘bargained­’ to extend the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.

2. Financial Bailout: Over 70% of us opposed the bailout. Obama accelerate­d it
with two Bush carryovers - Geithner & Bernanke.

3. Health Care: 72% of us supported “a government administer­ed insurance
plan - something like Medicare for those under 65—that would compete for
customers with private insurers.” Obama supported a private-se­ctor, for-profit
health insurance ‘reform’, guaranteei­ng profits with ‘mandated customers’ &
20% more for ‘overhead’­.

4. “Wars on Terror”: 64% of us opposed expanding war in Afghanista­n and
wanted to disentangl­e from Bush’s ‘preventiv­e war’ policies. When Obama
leaves office more troops will be involved than when he began.

It did not have to be as it is: Obama had the American peoples’ support for
success, instead, he chose capitulation and failure.

Republicans are willing to wait this out - just like the guy at the poker table with the most chips waiting to buy the pot - waiting for the next deal to come around.  They literally don’t care if it’s a pyrrhic victory.  McConnell pointed at the fence like Babe Ruth and swore to take Obama out knowing he himself will survive even with some serious wounds.  He and Boehner stabd ready to take the fall as long as Obama goes down too; they will be regarded as political martyrs = for a short time.

Once more, the Republicans hold America by the throat and demand total capitulation from the Dems—-or else. This shit has gone on far too long. Not only is this a textbook case of extortion, after the incident is resolved, any resulting ugly ramifications will be publicly blamed on the Democrats. This is standard procedure for the Republicans; they pull this stunt every time the budget comes to the fore, and after causing hardship for the poorest of Americans, those who are dependent on the social programs the Republicans hate so much, they claim a sort of twisted victory for having done it.

Again, the state governments will be stripped of Federal funding, and again the state powers will take it out on the poorest people in their states. They’ve proved what they’re made of already, in cutting off Medicaid in their states for the poorest of the poor, the most helpless people in their constituencies. This was done without conscience, and without mercy.

The Republicans are destroying everything good in this country! The existing state of humanity in America is abysmal because of their efforts, and they won’t be satisfied until every last elderly, disabled and poor American is left unsupported—-all so the rich can have a tax cut. The social support network established by this country is the only thing keeping us from dropping to third world status. Without these programs, America will be no different than the countries that allow their most helpless citizens to die in the streets of disease and hunger, homeless and forgotten. What have we become, people?

I like to bash Obama as much as the next guy, but on this issue he looks like the
only adult in the room…..

The answer is easy: When people elect guys like Ryan and Cantor and McConnell to “cut gummint waste” they NEVER believe it will happen to them…it’s gonna happen to somebody ELSE like those Eastern Lib’ruls.

So it’s simple: If you voted against compromise. If you spoke against compromise, YOUR voters will be the first to experience government default. The President should make it clear that EVERY payment to Mr. Ryan’s, Mr. Cantor’s, Mrs. Bachmann’s and every other tea-bagging shit-head who thought cuts would happen “somewhere else” will have ALL federal checks stopped there first: All Social Security, all Medicare, all Food Stamps, all military contracting, all military personell, all of ‘em.  Let the people in Mr. Ryan’s district see EXACTLY what the running out of money means, in REAL dollars.

They voted these shitheads into office.  Let THEM bear the consequences!

It’s real to me.  My mother gets half her retirement income from Social Security, and if those checks stop…and if her Medicare coverage stops….
Our NJ Senators have supported the President.  Why should WE be punished when assholes like McConnell and Paul and Imhofe and Coburn and Hatch et al have created this crisis as nothing more than a power play? Let the fools who elected THEM pay for it!
