Trump Is Just A Hail Mary Pass By Ashamed Republican Voters.

I am thinking that all the pundits got it half right. Yes, republican voters are angry because they have been the laughing stock for the past 15 years. They have been proven or at least been rumored to be the non-knowing group of Americans who constantly vote against their better interest. That is the half they got right.

The other side of the coin is that republican voters have learned to become embarrassed and ashamed, and many don't like the mirror anymore... or at least what they see in that mirror.

This is information they are slowly awaking to... because for the last 14 years, since 9/11,  they have been using the Internet more and more and now have smart phones and they have since heard a constant faint drumbeat in the background. That faint and haunting drumbeat of criticism brings the realization that a blinding light is now shone on them...the whole world can see them, and see what they do and also see what they have done.

To begin with, what they have done is they elected the most arguably unqualified person in the form of George 'Dubya' Bush to lead the free world and he broke it... with their blessing. 

He ignored the warning about 9/11 and thereby let it happen, which in essence turned the world upside down because he used the attack to launch two wars and spent much blood and treasure. Demolition evidence suggests and some conspiratory theorists conclude, that this went well, according to PNAC's plan.

He then had the worst recession since the last depression... which all but sealed the fate of the world at large. As fast as the chips fell in the American economy, it plummeted just as fast in global markets. Some economies have still not recovered.

Bush destroyed countries in the blink of an eye... all to satisfy the hunger of the military industrial complex.

This is important because until Bush, the republican voter could have still held their heads high and simply say that they have different ideas to anyone who disagreed with them. But now the shoe has dropped, they slowly realize that they are blamed for the error of the Bush rampage through the corridors of idiocy. As Bush ran through the ward, he took the voting base right along with him. 

To everyone, the patients running the ward was just the punchline of a silly joke... until now, until they were made to look in the mirror, through the mirror of the Internet world. That slow and careful look in the mirror is always a hard thing to face... and realize you are the fault, for voting that person into office... and then he broke the world.

Since Bush's reign of terror, the republican voter has seen the world change so rapidly because of what was left of the wounded world. The reinvigorated push-back by the whole world, against most of what republicans stand for, has opened their eyes... just a little. 

They still want to go back to the old ways, in a long lost century, when there was no internet... not much electricity... where women could stick some aspirin between their legs for birth control... where rape had its legitmacy... where it was ok for family to mingle... in the dark...

We see a new hope for the world now, with a new Pope. A Pope with eyes wide open making sweeping changes in this now broken world. Opening other's eyes... making amends.

We see the first black American President, making even more sweeping and most welcome changes. More changes than anyone thought was possible for a Captain of a half sunken ship. They both come together to give us this one message... 'On a sinking ship, the more gold you grab, the less your ability to swim... In life, take things that would not drown you.'

We see on social media that republicans are being schooled now more than ever, and unlike 20 years ago when it was just non republicans in their hometowns attempting to school them verbally, now it is people from all over this precious globe. That is a loud voice that can't be ignored. When you see this uproar against your policies in writing, and in every corner of the Internet... you can't escape it unless you throw away your smart phone, of keep your computer and TV turned off. They feel ashamed... they hear the voices.

So republican voters have just gotten the message, they now look at their new field of 2016 presidential candidates, and they do not like what they see. They see a bunch of broken people with the same old broken ideas, the same old broken policies, and the same old broken talking points... they still like it, but they know they look less than smart to the rest of the world.

This is why they are throwing a Hail Mary pass, and are supporting Donald Trump right now. They know he is a clown, but he is just different to the rest of what people call 'the clown car,' even though he is just a magnification of their very disillusioned best... he is the ultimate old, white, rich man.

They don't care what he says, he has dropped the pretense that he needs to be apologetic, he is brash and ill mannered, he does not believe in God, as he believes he does not need to ask or get forgiveness from God. He has donated many dollars in the past to buy favors from politicians, yet he says he will be honest and not be bought by other rich men.

He does not need to have brainy ideas as he believes he can pay the best thinkers to do his thinking for him. He understands that business runs the world, but he misunderstands this to mean that he can buy hearts, minds and souls with business. 

He does not believe in Socialism but wants to save everyone... says he has a heart. I think that is a social idea. I think that's what Jesus would do... save everyone with his big heart. He thinks he does not need to be a humble man as all good Christians are, or are supposed to be. 

He does not have to be smart enough to know that a wall can be tunnelled under. He does not have to be smart enough to know that they have shovels in Mexico. He has already forgotten the lessons of the last two big prison breaks, the one in upstate New York and the other in Mexico by 'El Chapo.' Maybe he is smart enough to know, and is just fooling his voters.

He does not need to know anything... republican voters don't care much for knowing things, as long as he can reflect something back to them that does not remind them of ...them. They have always bought the idea that they can each become a millionaire and need to give the millionaires a tax break, or an estate tax break... just in case they come by the odd million dollars, or two.

They feel the need to distance themselves from their past mistakes and bad decisions with the votes for candidates that they really wanted at the time. They were not careful of what they wished for, and they got it, each obviously disappointing time.

They see themselves reflected in a dysfunctional congress because they have been branded as the party of 'No.'

They are embarrassed and ashamed. That is why they need Trump, to help them save face as the world looks on. The first half is nearly over as the teams have been picked, and are on the field playing ball... and their team looks like a weak one, one that could lose... again.

First they lost to a black man, now they could lose to a woman, or worse yet... a socialist! So they need this Hail Mary pass...in the darkness that is their world view, with glorious war at every turn...  they desperately need it... he can provide it... he is the rich and glorious Donald Trump!!

Republicans Still Show No Concern For The Poor.

After watching CNN's State of the Union with Candy Crowley, I came away feeling that I have to write an obituary for America! Candy's guests were quite succinct and more than convicted in their veiled disgust and nonchalant lack of concern for the poor of America. They keep bandying about words like 'entitlements, Spending cuts and deficit reduction' without batting an eye, as to the destruction to the poor that they are proposing.

First of Candy's guests was outgoing senator Olympia Snow. She was all too eager to project that republicans really care and want to keep tax rates from going up on anyone, but insists that any fiscal cliff deal has to include some plan for reducing entitlements. That would be all well and good except it's obvious she thinks Americans are too stupid to realize that entitlement cuts really mean cutting programs for the poor that they need to live, feed their kids and stay healthy.

Next up was CNN Correspondent Dana Bash who reported something really shocking. She said that Republicans refused to go along with Democrat's suggestion, that some of the extra income that will be raised with the new tax rates can be used to pay down the debt. Republicans insisted that debt reduction must be done instead by entitlement cuts thereby ensuring that any pain and suffering to pay down the debt and curb spending is placed squarely on the bleeding backs of America's poor. 

Next up was Senator for Wyoming John Barrasso who commented that infrastructure spending was off the negotiation table as it is just another way of running up the debt, suggesting that we should first grow the economy... by following the Republicans' mantra of cutting spending by entitlement reforms. Notice how republicans say that having infrastructure programs is 'spending' on infrastructure, instead of it being 'investing' in those programs and creating jobs which will grow the economy...something that was done after WWII. 

Of course when a major bridge falls in their area or they are stricken in some way by natural disasters they do not say that their pleas for help requires government spending, instead they are quite happy to praise the same departments that they are still trying to do away with, FEMA is just one such example.

They are wordsmiths of the highest order, 'entitlement reforms' simply mean cutting programs to the poor in order to scrape off massive profits for the rich in the form of lowering taxes and keeping them low, regardless of how much pain and suffering they cause to the bottom 98% of Americans, half of whom are poor republicans who need these programs to live and feed their families.

The Fiscal Cliff  and Debt Ceiling talks have one thing in common, the willingness by the Republicans to do everything they can to bring pain and suffering to America's poor and needy, who just want to live. 

Republicans maintain that there is no leadership from the President, by which they mean the President should fold to their demands to inflict pain onto the poor, and lead the rest of the Democrats kicking and screaming towards the Republican's evil way of thinking.

Traitorous Republican Sabotage?

While listening to the morning talk show with Host Mark Riley on WWRL 1600 AM in New York on Tuesday April 19 2011, I was fortunate enough to catch the interview of a certain Ms Applebaum, an economist who made it clear in no uncertain terms that the Actions of the S&P on Monday April 19, which reduced the American Fiscal Outlook rating to "Negative" was in certain informed circles, being seen as a suspected clandestine attempt at political control of the Obama Administration. 


This view of suspected corrupt dealings by the S&P, is being bandied about because just the opposite is in fact the case, as voiced by some economists of well known outlets... the Economy is on the rise and the Recession/Near Depression caused by the Bush Years is subsiding, economic growth and the addition of Jobs are taking place as we speak.


This suspicious and mischievous "downgrading" comes fast on the heels of the President's speech in which he voiced his resistance, to succumb to the Republicans and Cloaked Fascists in the political Arena who all want to destabilize the middle class and privatize social programs including Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. It is well known that the Ryan Budget Proposal will have a real and negative affect in devastating the middle class, on whose backs the recovery is built and depends on. The hypocrisy...and no surprise... is that Paul Ryan is also a recipient of the same Social Security program he now wants to destroy.


It is no secret that since the Great Depression, Fascism has been on the rise in certain Wealthy circles, with the expressed intention of secretly taking over the US Government and using the Government's powers for their own purposes of self enrichment. An ideal that has in 2011 seen the advent of Washington being overrun with more than 11000 lobbyists entrusted with this task. This is a video of the Fascist's plot to replace F.D.R. 


It is also no secret that the Republican party has begun a National Campaign to stifle and sabotage the Economic Growth and recovery of the Country, their actions having the Ideological signature of the Old Fascist Secret order started in the Great Depression.  Ed Schultz gives his take on the subject.


The question now, is are they trying to circumvent the positive actions of the present Government by using the pressure tactics we see being displayed by the S&P, who are obviously in full understanding of what their downward rating would have done...evidenced by an immediate drop in the Financial Markets, which in turn throws much more panic and concern into the Financial Speculative Aura, upon which the Global Financial Markets thrive or die.

CLASS WARFARE, SLAVES TO THE WEALTHY, BY GEORGE CARLIN

Well, everyone has now seen how badly this "Bush Tax Cuts" debate has gone so far...there was no debate. The Republicans said ...massage my shoulder will ya? The Democrats are now the masseur, massaging the Elephant's shoulder, putting lotion on his feet...and kissing where the sun don't shine... cleaning up their shit, adding at least 700 Billion dollars more to the deficit... This shit certainly leaves a bad taste in our mouths. That is some shit...


My head is spinning, I am gravely hurt by the President's speech on Monday December 6th, where he seems to have bowed down to his aggressor who wants the poor in this country to become slaves to the wealthy, to have no dignity and pride in themselves or their families...their Parents...Their Spouses...Their children. I feel like I am in the days of slavery all over again...I feel the pain and anguish they...the Slaves must have felt...stripped of every shred of self worth, pride and indeed Human dignity and decency, as if "We the people" are not worth it, and no one gives a damn.


Certainly I wonder sometimes if our Leaders don't give a damn, because it appears they are not willing to fight for us. We did not elect leaders to go there and surrender for us, If we wanted to surrender, or be defeated,  we would have sent someone who we knew was an idiot or a coward...we didn't. We sent educated people, who we think are capable of getting the job done, who are willing to fight, because when the fighting is done, we would be assured that what we get would have been the best we could get...But right now, the Democrats are not fighting, they are just massaging the Elephant's shoulders, following their orders, and being a Disappointment to the American People...the 85% of us who did not vote in November, for the Republicans.


Maybe I am wrong, or misinformed...maybe there was a fight that took place and "We the People" just did not see it, did not know it, because it was behind closed doors, against very powerful entities, Foreign and Domestic. I have often said the President is privy to more information than I am...so maybe he knows what he is doing more than I know what he is doing. Maybe he saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and I am just slogging through the darkness looking for a helping hand out of poverty. 


 I am anything but speechless, but there is a traffic jam...a bottleneck in my throat, because there are too many words trying to come out at the same time...it's choking me...so I will let the Late and always Great Mr. George Carlin do my talking for me...because I am really hurting by the Democrat's surrender without a fight...Some say The President paid the RANSOM...I agree with that, I understand the hard road...but it still sticks in my craw...


Stephen Colbert says he can't wait for the Taxes to stay the same so he can create all those jobs...Stephen got it right...no one in the Wealthy Country Clubs will be creating jobs...maybe we can give away Social Security while we are at it...I just had to add Stephen's video as well. Let me clarify, I Blame the Republicans for Blackmailing us, I do not blame the President for making the best deal he thinks we can try to get, rather than getting nothing at all... 


I think upon further reflection, I will support the President...my President...because he can do for me what I cannot do for myself...secure a better future for my children. The old people have a saying...Stoop to Conquer... so I will Stoop with my President...so we will get stronger and rise higher later.

American 60% Non-Voters Just Don't Give A Rats Ass?...Apparently So...

                                                                                                                                                         The NEW numbers are in, and according to the United States Election Project, There was an average of 218 Million eligible voters, out of whom an average of 40 % voted... which amounts to around 88 Million voters. This average number, if taken to mean a 50/50 split for each party, suggests that a mere average of about 44 Million voters, in effect made this election a victory for the Republican Party...a mere 20% of all eligible voters... a mere 20% steered the Country down this rabbit hole.

For those who are interested, the US Population is 308 Million people, which means that this 20% of eligible voters who were allowed to elect a Republican majority in the House is actually 14.2% of the US population....14.2%....a minuscule 14.2% of the US Population elected the House Majority...

I HAVE TO SAY...14.2% IS NOT A SHELLACKING BY ANY MEANS!! Because it means more than 85% DID NOT VOTE FOR THEM!!

The numbers further suggest that we have to "Thank" for this Republican victory...the remaining 60% of non-voters...the 130 million who did not vote. Of course "Thank" is not exactly the word this author wishes to use, but for want of a better word... we will go with "Thank." Apparently most of these non-voters thought it was not worth their time to be Patriotic and do their duty...and vote, to keep this ship upright, so they let 20% win part of the Elections and Control of the House. That is indeed a shame and I might add...they need to keep quiet when they feel the strain of unemployment and hopelessness that we know will soon come, at the hands of the Republicans... because they caused this by not voting.

We now have a very rocky road to traverse in the coming future with the Republican hands itching to grab the reins of power. We all know of the purely crazy intentions the Republicans have, of trying to repeal Health Care so that our Seniors and our kids will be rendered helpless and uninsured, due to preexisting conditions or being over 21yrs old in the case of the kids. We also know of their intentions to Sabotage and bring the efforts of the Recovery to a halt so that the President will be seen to fail in his attempt to bring the Country back from the brink of disaster... causing them to win the 2012 elections.

The sad thing is that the same 20% of voters who voted for the Republicans are going to have their Seniors and kids affected as well by the Whacky Republican ideas. They did in fact vote against themselves and their Families' interests, being none the wiser to this.

This is all part of a further attempt by Republicans to appease their Corporate masters who call the tune for the Republicans to follow. The Republicans' twisted plans can be thought of in terms of a broken down Taxi Cab in need of repairs. The mechanic wants $100 to repair the car, but in an attempt save money, the Republican owner tells the mechanic that he will not pay for repairs but will instead pay $20 storage fees per month to keep the car in the garage. The owner in the meantime loses $1000 per month, by the Taxi not being able to work and bring in an income, plus he has to find other means of transport which costs him money as well. In five months, of course, he also loses the $100 he is trying to save, with his short-sighted ideas. For further explanation...the Country is the Taxi Cab.

20% of voters for Republicans means 80% DID NOT vote for them...85% of the population...85% of The American People DID NOT vote for them...REMEMBER THAT WHEN THEY TRY TO DISTRACT YOU WITH THEIR LIES...AND THEIR SPIN OF THE TRUTH !!!

THEIR "AMERICAN PEOPLE" IS 14.2%...OUR "AMERICAN PEOPLE" IS 85% !!!

At the end of the day though, I remind you we are still one people, one country, 100% of 308 million...one America... so please be civil to each other.

One piece of advice...when anyone presents their theories and ideas...just ask them to explain HOW that plan would work...throwing around talking points is fine, if you can't back it up with facts...so remember to ask WHY...let them explain their theories. Most do not have a clue about the ideas and talking points they offer.

Treasonous Republicans Sabotage American Recovery.

Republicans are doing their best to sabotage America. How you may ask? By their vehement cries to stop the recovery. Quite simply if you ignore them being the Party of NO since a change from the previous Republican Government, and ignore the mountain of new and good changes and new laws that the new President has been successful in getting, the attempt to and then achieving to get a better Health care plan than the previous Republican Health Care Plan;  Bush's Republican Administration did not choose to help or thought they needed to help the American people with a health plan...

If you ignore everything that has helped us to stop the devastating downward spiral we were left with after the last Republican Administration, and you agree with the Republicans' tactics of trying to stall the President's plans to bring America back from the brink of disaster, then I can only say one thing right now...listen to the lady. She is Erin Burnett...I and many great economists think she is one of the most intelligent women when it comes to the Economy and the Financial Markets. What did she say that I want you to hear? Well, even though the Republicans are trying to be treasonous, and sabotage the recovery by lying and saying that we are going in the wrong direction, that the Stimulus was a failure and the recovery is not good enough or large enough or fast enough, they cry that the Job Recovery efforts through rebuilding infrastructure is too little, too late... She said that the fact is this is the fastest recovery we have had after any recession in 25 years!!

Their idea is instead of it being too little too late, it is better to do nothing now, and let it get worse...I say it is much appreciated and better late than never!! There is a house bill that has been sitting there and is being blocked by Republicans RIGHT NOW!! They are just maneuvering to avoid voting on it. Their treachery in blocking this and dozens of other bills as they strive to stymie the Country's recovery, is as plain as day.

                                                                                     

She calls it the Tortoise Economy, but explains that we are heading in the right direction, we have growth and compared to other recessions, we have vibrant growth at that! She says we have the fastest Job Recovery in 25 years, you can also watch the rest of the video, it is  "Meet The Press" , on MSNBC  and in it you can also see how far up their asses, the Republicans' heads are shoved. What is apparent by their actions, is that The Republicans are not as interested in the well being of America, as they are interested in reclaiming power so they can restart the devastating Republican Bush policies that shook the world in the first place, and brought on a recession the likes of which most of us  have not seen in our lifetimes and unwanted and unnecessary wars that further bankrupt us...not to mention the loss of homes via the millions of  foreclosures they did nothing to stop and the loss of millions of jobs they did nothing to stop.

I caution everyone, reelecting the Republicans will kill the Country for sure!!

America Died Last Night...

Nov 3 2010, 12:01 AM

By Wrson Oells, BNN News...

Yes my friends, it is with a heavy heart indeed, that I report  America as we know it, died last night. There will be a short service for a couple of weeks while the Republican wolves awake their sleeper cells and set out to bring about what they put in motion during Dumbya's  eight Nightmarish years that the Dems under the direction of President Obama, were not able to stop. All the Republican insiders who wish to remain anonymous, that this reporter has spoken to has confirmed my worst fears, the Republican sleeper cells in Government who did their best to reign in the positive affects of Obama's efforts, are now already going to work to restart the Bush policies including Tax Cuts for themselves and their rich friends.

Obviously the less attentive and  mistaken amongst us have been convinced that sane Millionaires who are heavily invested Globally, will choose to take these Tax breaks and foolishly spend it on creating jobs in America. They still do not understand that the reason for business is to put money into the owners' pockets and there are more fertile markets around this shrinking Globe, to reinvest the said money that is gained from the Bush Tax Cuts. According to these many   anonymous sources in the Republican Party, there will be a respectful couple of weeks where the distracted will be allowed to rejoice in the election victory, while they are allowed to be in the delirious condition of feeling hopeful for the mistakenly perceived freedom they thirst...before being crushed and enslaved by Global Corporatism. There is no real freedom as the world is run by Corporations who dictate what they produce for us to eat, live and indeed exist.

Their un-attentive Republican followers are still under the false impression that we live in the sixties and Corporate America, which is now a gaggle of Global Corporatists,  still lives with and has Patriotic intentions toward America. They are ill informed and still do not realize that since the Reagan Revolution against America began, the Ex-American Corporations were enabled to turn American workers into Global Corporation's slaves, with Global masters, by doing what other Calculated leaders have done around the Globe... convincing his unwitting base to stifle new Governments and their ability to protect the populace against Global Corporations and instead yield to Corporate orders and ship jobs overseas, thereby weakening our independence and ability to be self sustaining.  The Reagan slight of hand while destroying America, worked well on the distracted followers who are bombarded with cries of becoming "Socialists, Marxists and Communists" while taught that their predicament is all God's will. It is still working and their followers are taught to look to God for relief from the same people they elected and the policies these people use to fleece America and put Her at the mercy of Global Corporations who are known Foreign entities and hostile countries.

Yes my friends...America died last night...and this is Her Eulogy.

To all voters who love America...don't let this be our future...There is a saying that "Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it"...Remember the Bush years and the results it brought, Death to millions of innocents around the world, Destruction of America's ability to sustain Herself, making her a beggar around the world...borrowing from our enemies and hostile countries, Forclosures, Bankruptcies, Joblessness and the worst Recession in our children's lifetime...up until now...your vote  will determine if they are put back into office, to revamp this Recession and turn it into a Depression...to the delight of  Global Corporate powers who are waiting to harness America's ability and talent, for the single purpose of increasing their profits...for the Holy benefit of their Almighty bottom line.

Update...start now, to win in 2012...

Iraq War 900 Billion vs Health Care 940 Billion

Iraq War Facts, Results & Statistics at February 16, 2010

4,379 US Soldiers Killed, 31,669 Seriously Wounded

By Deborah White, About.com Guide

http://usliberals.about.com/od/homelandsecurit1/a/IraqNumbers.htm

" Mar 7 2010
For your quick reading, I've listed key statistics about the Iraq War, taken primarily from data analyzed by various think tanks, including The Brookings Institution's Iraq Index, and from mainstream media sources. Data is presented as of February 16, 2010, except as indicated.

U.S. SPENDING IN IRAQ

Spent & Approved War-Spending - About $900 billion of US taxpayers' funds spent or approved for spending through Sept 2010.

U.S. 2009 Monthly Spending in Iraq - $7.3 billion as of Oct 2009

U.S. 2008 Monthly Spending in Iraq - $12 billion
U.S. Spending per Second - $5,000 in 2008 (per Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on May 5, 2008)

Cost of deploying one U.S. soldier for one year in Iraq - $390,000 (Congressional Research Service)

Lost & Unaccounted for in Iraq - $9 billion of US taxpayers' money and $549.7 milion in spare parts shipped in 2004 to US contractors. Also, per ABC News, 190,000 guns, including 110,000 AK-47 rifles.

Missing - $1 billion in tractor trailers, tank recovery vehicles, machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and other equipment and services provided to the Iraqi security forces. (Per CBS News on Dec 6, 2007.)

Mismanaged & Wasted in Iraq - $10 billion, per Feb 2007 Congressional hearings

Halliburton Overcharges Classified by the Pentagon as Unreasonable and Unsupported - $1.4 billion

Amount paid to KBR, a former Halliburton division, to supply U.S. military in Iraq with food, fuel, housing and other items - $20 billion

Portion of the $20 billion paid to KBR that Pentagon auditors deem "questionable or supportable" - $3.2 billion. "

Ok, lets cut the bullshit...these idiots prefer to spend 900 Billion dollars on this Republickers'-loved,  Repuglickers'-cooked-up Iraq war in an eight year period, but they scream about a Health Care bill that will spend less money over the same time and save hundreds of thousands of people?  The numbers speak for themselves...900 billion in eight years of war means an average of 112 Billion per year and counting indefinitely, compared with 940 billion over ten years, or an average of 94 Billion per year. So in my view these Repuglickers are not against this because of the cost...or they would be screaming for us to stop the war. If there are 45000 poor people dying each year for lack of health care, then it must mean they want these people to die for some reason....maybe they do not like or care for poor people and their votes.  If we have a terrorist attack and lose 3000 people every year, it still does not compare or validate letting 45000 poor people die....unless you are a Rich Republican piece of shit....They...the Republican following, the Republican sheep did not care for how much money disappeared or was wasted by the Republican Administration they supported and still supports but they expect us to be fooled by their concern for Health costs...They would have been as vocal against the war and the waste as they are now...if they cared...

Shareholders Rights?? WTF...Screw You.

Quotes from Huffington Post...

Goldman Sachs Board Rejects Shareholders Demands To Cut Excessive Pay, Bonuses

NEW YORK — Goldman Sachs Group Inc. said Monday it has rejected demands by shareholders to investigate the Wall Street bank's compensation practices.

Shareholder lawsuits filed recently in New York and Delaware charge that Goldman's compensation levels in 2009 were too high, Goldman said in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The lawsuits seek to recover some of the pay and force the bank to adopt pay reforms. Goldman said shareholders have made similar demands in letters to its board.

Lawmakers and shareholders sharply criticized Wall Street pay after the biggest banks lost billions of dollars on bad mortgage bets, helped cause the recession and then had to be bailed out by the government.

"The board believes that the firm's compensation policies and practices, which directly align pay with the performance of the company, are appropriate and in the best interests of shareholders broadly," Goldman spokesman Ed Canaday said in a statement. "When the firm does well, our people do well and when the firm does less well, our people do less well."

Goldman employees received $16.2 billion in salaries and bonuses for 2009, up 47 percent from the previous year but lower than expected. That's about $500,000 for each of the bank's 31,700 employees. Many employees, however, earned millions.

In other words...Screw you and Fuck off !!!!!

While I don't feel sorry for any Banks' or Bankers' losses suffered in the Bush era recession, I would like the Republican community to realize that there is no compassion given to Americans by Corporations. Goldman's rejection of their Shareholders wishes attest to that. Shareholders were misled and downright fooled into thinking they had rights and control over what they apparently didn't, no surprise there I think. The Republican line has always been to support the Corporations against the American people and any Democratic Government, a practice which has always caused suffering, injustice, loss of jobs, loss of many benefits including Medical and dental benefits and even loss of life. Such is the lack of compassion exhibited by the Republican party and it's minions, who all support the Corporations.

The recent decision by the Supreme Court allowing Corporations to be able to finance elections in various ways is another chapter in the long battle by the Corporations and the Republican party to stifle the will of the American people. It is an insult to intelligence that a Corporation can be afforded the rights of an individual, this being a victory that the Republican Party and it's minions have long trumpeted and supports even now. Had we, the intelligent Dems not been made to suffer the consequences of these laws along with the Corporate lovers, I would be inclined to say nothing and let the Republican Corporate-bought-and-paid-for-zombies suffer the consequences by  themselves, but alas, we are joined at the hip, so maybe we are all screwed.

If you think the Republicans are not the party of NO, and are not the obstructionists who pander to the Corporations while not caring for the American people, just take a look at their  pathetic new star who is really taking the Evil party line to heart and doing exactly what all Republicans really believe is right, while pretending they do not approve, acting as if they do not support him...he is Jim Bunning, their hero.

Shit Flinging

Some people say that President Obama is too much of a Statesman, a Gentleman and a Politician. He has to be all three, the first two are obvious. Sometimes I think the President HAS to be a politician and will fight dirty because you do not go into the ring of a Shit Fight with a clean white shirt...nor do you expect to come out of the ring squeeky clean and smelling sweet like a rose either. Sometimes he needs to play both sides of the fence, save us while still giving Big Business some concessions. We need to let him do his job, however he sees fit and support him no matter what, because he is the lesser of two evils and we do not have another savior right now. We had eight years of the other evil before...If President Obama did not step into the ring we would already be in a depression, if he steps out tomorrow, I think there is no better person to replace him. He is not enjoying his job while trying to accommodate those idiotic Republicans nor did he take the job to enjoy it, he knows the job is the shittiest job in America and he knows that when he is done he will be all spent and not many may like him and Republicans may even call him another Carter, but he is a true American because he is literally giving his life and soul for this shitty job and this shitty public, who really do not have the balls or decency to support him while he gets shit flung in his face and tries to fling shit around to save them. He has twice handed the Republicans their balls on silver platters in front of the cameras while they attempted to fling shit at him, and some in the public still says he is no good. He is really trying to not alienate the right wing community, after all they are Americans too, including those folks who call themselves independents. There is in my opinion nothing called an Independent, you are only a Democrat or a Republican, independents are simply the folks who can't decide if to let people know that they are closet Republicans, because they are ashamed to go public. Even if sometimes you don't agree with everything the Democrats do, you will not leave the party, so independents are really Republicans in disguise. Being a Republican means being evil on some level as you will side with the corporations against the people, causing great harm, suffering, pain and even death to said people. It also means being a hypocrite and a liar, and your main purpose is to fling shit all over the place like a crazed monkey (tell lies), scratch your ass in public (like impeaching Bill for getting a blow) and respond to the urges in your loins... in airport bathrooms and the like. There is never any reason to have a brain as you are only required to tow the party line, learn their talking points, fling shit (lie) to cover their tracks, blindly believe in a magical God floating in the clouds and follow the churches like mindless sheep, and give blowjobs (worship) to right wing radio and TV wackos .

C P A C... Crazy Pistol-packing Alarmist Conservatives

They are crazy, yet they are the only ones who don't think they are.  Their wacky and unprecedented misuse and flagrant abuse of the Filibuster is proof of their mischief and intent to stifle our progress as a Nation...a Nation of laws...laws they seem to frequently ignore. They meet today...to plan their attack on America, to plan how to descend on the public, pounce on us and steal our money. They lie daily, thank goodness for people like Rachel Maddow, Chris Mathews and Keith Olberman who hold their feet to the fire and help us to shed some light on their wicked ways.  They cheat, and we all know about their stealing the election in 2000.  They do bad things when they are in office, giving all the considerations to Corporate interests above the people who are crushed by these Companies and then they scream for justice when they are out of office, as if a new Administration trying to do good and clean up their messes for the people is a bad thing.  They become the Obstructionist party of NO, because Yes means helping the American people and being true Patriots. They did nothing to help the country when they were in power, they only passed tax cuts and started wars so they could pay-off their friends and empty the Treasury... to which end they stole Billions... which was the norm for the recently past Republican Presidents and their Administrations... they are only smart enough to leave Deficits. They try to change their spots from Republicans to Conservatives to Neo-Cons to Independents to Reagan Conservatives to Tea Baggers to Birthers and last to Palinites, so the public will forget who they are. They are still thieves and Con men just fleecing the public with Predatory lending and warmongering. They started this recession and I'm sure they were all receiving their ashes on Wednesday to prove their "Good Christian" status. Well if that is the standard of a "Good Christian" then we are better off not believing in Magic and witch craft (Sarah believes in that,) Gods and Satan. The evil is truly in what they do.

Republicans try to score points

When the Republicans celebrated the nearing of the meeting where they perceived a bloodbath for the enemy of progress, though mistaken, they were ecstatic...up until the point in the song where Tommy stopped and locked the door, after that night, no one considered him the coward of the county...anymore. There is a lot to be said for the mob mentality and trying to beat up on the underdog, and the worst thing you sometimes learn is how bitter the failure and defeat tastes when you are handed your balls on a silver platter, by said underdog. We learned many things that night...we learned that the so called 84% increase in spending was not as a consequence of Tommy's input, but was an automatic and predicted development put in place before Tommy took office. We learned that we inherited 8 Trillion Dollars in Debt. We learned Ear Marks are not strange to either party and "Sunshine seems to be the greatest disinfectant." So much for the need for a Teleprompter by the way... Chris Matthews said Clinton, in his time, was also witty, smart, informed and poetic and also informed about the numbers, and the issues at the same time, and Tommy...apparently wrote that book... The Indians...140 of them, circled the wagon that night...that fateful night, seeking the scalp of a man who drove that wagon, a man who only came with a mirror in his hand...as his only weapon...and also as an olive branch for those intelligent enough to recognize the mirror as such. They thought he was going to be flamboyant to the point of being careless about who he was facing, and as such would be an easy target and taste their wrath...Tommy plays basketball...they didn't see him half the time, because as games go, he was dunking most of the time, airborne while they looked for him to be lying on the ground...to be floored by their questions... questions they worked on for long hard hours, relinquishing the quality time they had to spend with their wives, with their children, with their husbands...and probably for one heartbroken man...quality time with Jeff Gannon (as we still don't know who he visited those hundreds of times before)...they did this so as to craft questions credible enough to convince the crackpots of conservatism that they had this fight all rapped up. They were wrong, this fight turned out to be not about or against Tommy, the wagon driver...the dark horse in the race...the underdog...The Commander In Chief, but about their own misplaced, misguided and misused policies of generations gone by and when the disinfectant sunlight hit them...the mob... it turned out to be a fight against the American People.
One lady asked after a long drawn-out tirade to attempt to score points, "When would we look forward to starting anew..." She hadn't a clue that this was what was going on right then and there...that was what she...and they ,were all there for. His answer to Miss Clueless, with the Bolshevik comment, made her look like a deer in headlights..."hypocracy by Marsha" sounds like a type of cheese cake, Tommy loves cheese cake, and I thought I saw him even lick his lips when he was done ripping her a new one. Tom Price meanwhile offered some "Boilerplate" to the underdog and Mr. Hensarling just embarrassed himself and the whole mob. Mr. Mike Pence tried to offer some red meat... which caused the warriors to applaud and beam with pride...but that animal was slaughtered so long ago that it was rotting, it was undigestable and just sounded like a compendium of bumper stickers. Lets hope, for the country's sake, that some people learned something that night and will try to help save the American people from the tough times ahead, and not let Tommy do it alone. Let's hope they can put Country before Self.

Respect for the President

Many pundits sound like they have better ideas about how to run this country with the plethora of problems President Obama inherited. I used to say that anyone who wants to be President after Bush, was an idiot. I said that Kerry willingly lost because he came to his senses and saw how difficult the job would be. I still think you have to be crazy to take the job, but very smart and loving really... I do not have the courage, love or conviction to do it. I think I would rather run away. If the pundits think the job is easy then they are blind. That job, after Bush, is the worst thing I can imagine. Hat's off to President Obama, he is a better man than I am. At least I am not going to bad mouth the man who is trying to give my children a future. I'm old enough, maybe I'll die of old age soon, but he is giving my kids what I can't...a better future and for that I understand and respect him...more than I do Bush and the Republicans... who took it all away. I don't hate Republicans, I never met one...they only exist in the TV, in the House and in the Senate, the rest of us are just ordinary loving folks right?...I just hate that they took away our future. Why should we re-elect them again, so they can do it to my kids one more time? I'm not that stupid.
