Republicans - Nay-saying their way into oblivion

Dear Republicans -

Yeah YOU! Haven't you yet figured out that your constant nay-saying of everything President Obama is trying to is only alienating you even more from mainstream citizens?

Your party has ZERO CREDIBILITY to speak upon issues of the economy (because YOU ruined it), or on Health Care (because YOU allowed it to grow out of control and become predatory), or on what President Obama should do now ( because YOU handed him the flaming bag of political feces created by the idiot boy king from Crawford Texas).

Your performance in the Senate regarding health care has been magnificently pathetic - you have done EVERYTHING your health care masters wanted - from gutting single-payer to nearly defeating the public option (but we will surprise you, soon). You ONLY represent the interests of the moneyed elite in this nation, to the detriment of the majority of the citizenry. And you think we don't know this!

Republicans believe in government "of the corporations, by the corporations, and for the corporations". It is this untenable situation that President Obama is trying to rectify, and it's clear that you are SCARED, SCARED , SCARED.

Scared because he is talking SENSE, and making progress towards reversing the fatal course you set this nation on when your beloved Ronald Reagan was elected, and Newt's "Contract with America' was enacted. It was actually a "Contract ON America", since you have been bound and determined to de-regulate everything your corporate masters didn't like (like Glass-Steagall), and reverse ALL of the social advances enacted into law from the 60s on (like Medicare).

Thankfully, the nation has seen the light, and elected a far more rational administration. But YOU believe that President Obama will DESTROY THE NATION, don't you? So riddle me this - how can he screw up things any WORSE that what you have done in 30 years?

Your continual bleating against things, like your constant complaints about the number of "czars" in the administration are laughable - don't you realize that it was Republicans who created the Czar positions originally? More importantly, don't you understand that WE'RE NOT STUPID and can see your LIES for what they are - feeble attempts to MISDIRECT the attention of low-information voters so they will "get mad" and vote you back into power, where you can once again return to destroying the nation.

We have to hand it to you - from Karl Rove on down, you guys have the most devious political minds since Machiavelli, but this time it won't help you - the American people now control their government, and will PREVENT you from being returned to governance! We have seen how Republican policies very nearly caused the complete destruction of our beloved nation, and we're in NO hurry to return the reins of power to your hands, where you will just screw things up AGAIN.

Might we suggest the following - please SHUT UP, and GO AWAY until such time that you have learned how to contribute something other than "Obama is a Communist", "Obama is Hitler" "Obama is the Antichrist" and other such delicious tidbits of right-wing hate speech.

GO AWAY until you can shut up Hannity and Beck and Limbaugh and all of other the right-wing talking loons who DO NOTHING to add to the reasoned discourse of this nation, and whose only purpose is to inflame hostility among low-info conservatives.

SHUT UP AND GO AWAY because we are sincerely scared that your unspoken purpose is to rile up someone, ANYONE, to assassinate the current President, at which time you will sheepishly say "Hey - it wasn't OUR fault" just like you did after the recent assassination of Doctor George Tiller, whose only crime was that he offended your "faith" sensibilities, and helped women who had nowhere else to turn because of YOUR draconian birth control policies.

In fact, honestly, just GO AWAY for about 16 years, because that is likely how long it will take Democratic administrations to REPAIR the damage your INSENSITIVE POLICIES and Corporate-driven giveaways have wreaked on this lovely nation.

Oh and while we are at it, SHUT UP about HEALTH INSURANCE REFORM. Your Big Pharma, and Big Medicine, and Big Insurance buddies have RAPED this nation and its citizens long enough, and it's time for you to pay, politically.

To quote from Paddy Chayefsky's "Network": "...YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU WILL ATONE"

Got it?

Lies, Liars, and Propaganda

It's been clear to anyone who has a brain (and doesn't soften it by watching Fox Snooze) that President Obama has been under a constant and concerted attack from "the Party of No".

It's amazing that the GOP, the party that brought us the financial NIGHTMARE we are currently trying to pull ourselves out of, would be fighting so hard AGAINST what SHOULD be good for the country. It's amazing until you look deeper:

- What do Republicans have to lose if the President succeeds?

POWER - They will have been proven to be a powerless, ineffective, and greedy collection of rich folks who are basically looking out for themselves, instead of the nation in general. And, by the way, when they lose POWER, they lose the ability to ENRICH THEMSELVES at the public's expense.

- Why the constant verbal attacks?

They sincerely believe that this is the best way to influence enough voters to question the President's policies, so that the GOP has even HALF a chance of winning ANY seat in Congress (certainly NOT the Presidency). Goodness knows, they SO have great message discipline - even if it means republican talking heads whose untruthful words grate like fingernails on the political chalkboard.

- Are they correct?

Of course not - but that doesn't get in the way of this constant verbal harrassment serving their purposes.
