OK, I’ll admit it. Sarah Palin scares the shit out of me. (Wolves are terrified of her, too, but that’s for another day.) I feel threatened by her. There! I’ve said it. Are all you bat-shit crazy right wing bloggers happy now? Well, if you are, you can stop now. Wipe those self-satisfied grins off your silly faces. I’m not afraid of Sister Sarah because she’s so wonderful. And I’m not threatened by her good looks or political talent.
She strikes terror in my heart because she is poorly educated, lacks even the most basic knowledge one would expect in a political leader, lacks intellectual curiosity, is too stupid to know that she is incompetent, and has an inflated opinion of herself that is entirely unwarranted. And you Repugs are too dumb to see it.
She frightens me because Republicans are blindly stupid when it comes to choosing candidates. Don’t forget,it’s you guys who selected George Bush because ya’ll wanted to have a beer with him. The males among you will choose Sarah because you want to do something else with her. (Don’t bother trying to deny it. Your minds are in the gutter where she is concerned. Pat Buchanan has given ya’ll away) You repug women are no better. You love her because she pops out kids and preaches evangelical stuff. None of you, men or women, care that she is FUCKING INCOMPETENT! All that matters to you is that she is a good looking Jesus freak who opposes abortion.
So, yes, I am afraid; I’m terrified that you morons will be able to convince just enough so-called independents and PUMA’s to support Caribou Barbie for her to win someday. If that were to happen, the Bush fiasco would look like “Happy Days.”
Now for my Democratic friends, let me say this. If you think I am over-reacting, how many of you thought Shrub would actually become president? How many thought he would surely lose in 2004? See? Anything is possible when you have the poorly informed electorate that we do. Even total idiots can be president and win a second term.
Heaven help us!
Of course, if Sarah were ever to win, we might get lucky. She has a history of being a quitter.
This Independence Day weekend marked the second incarnation of the fabled Tea Party movement, protesting the government’s growing involvement in economic matters. And, just like the first go-around, the July 4 protests saw an elected Republican official, undoubtedly hoping to harness some of that the popular unrest, taking the stage to a chorus of boos.
This time the recipient of the unforgiving welcome was Sen. John Cornyn. The crowd yelled at Cornyn, called him a traitor and shouted that he was "the problem" when he took the stage in Austin.
I will add that I sorta like this new development of these clowns booing their guys. It was also about 105F on the 4th of July. Not any of the corporate sponsors that were asked to sign on and pony up the big sponsorship money they were hoping for.
The healthcare reform bill that emerges from Congress this year will include a government-run public health insurance option, regardless of the bipartisan negotiations seeking a compromise in the Senate, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Sunday.
"Make no mistake about it, the president is for this strongly. There will be a public option in the final bill," Schumer said on CBS News’s "Face the Nation."
Thursday the unemployment figures were reported to be as high as they have been in the last 26 years. Obama’s opposition pounced:
I remember 26 years ago. Third year into Reagan’s presidency. High unemployment, low wages and double-digit interest rates. Ah, good times… Back then the recession was created by the Fed raising rates to rid ourselves of the crippling stagflation that had gripped the nation. When that worked (inflation rates dropped from 13.5% in 1981 to 3.2% in 1983) deficit spending by the Reagan administration worked us out of the recession, along with a measured and gradual reduction in interest rates. Unemployment dropped, albeit gradually.
Elephants are suppose to have good memories, but the GOP seems to forget how Reagan’s deficit spending helped get unemployment down to reasonable numbers 25 years ago.
Epilog: The failure of Reagonomics resulted from the fiscal policy that was imposed after the recovery, but that’s a topic for a different day.
