Obama
was named Man of the Year by Time magazine.
His personnel approval rating is 59%, and 59% of Americans view Obama as
a strong leader (Pew Research).
On
the other side of the political divide is the Republicant … party? Americans give Republicants the thumbs
down. 49% surveyed have a NEGATIVE VIEW
of the Republicants, just 26% have happy thoughts about them (NBC/Wall Street
Journal).
That's not much of a
party.
That's
politics. Obama up … Republicants down. Some days you get the bear and some days the
bear gets you. A year from now the polls
might be reversed. The pres in decline
and the House of Repubs soaring like eagles.
But it's unlikely.
Why?
Because
the Republicants don't seem to yet understand that their policy ideas ARE HATED
BY THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS AND THE REPUBLICANTS STILL CAN'T GET IT THROUGH
THEIR HEADS THAT THE MAJORITY RULES.
Like what policies for
example?
The
Fiscal Cliff. AAAAAUUUGGHHHHH … THE FISCAL CLIFF. The
majority of Americans blame the Republicants for almost pushing us over the
Fiscal Cliff. AAAAAUUUGGHHHHH
… THE FISCAL CLIFF.
What else?
Raising
the debt ceiling. Wall Streeters – major
backers of Republicants – have warned the Neanderthals in the House not to play
games with the debt ceiling. One of the
Koch brothers has told them the same thing.
But they don't even listen to their own breed. The breed that supplies them with $$$$$$$$
and private jets.
Sounds kinda stupid of
them.
Yeah. Stupid.
It goes on and on. 56% of
Americans say they want tighter gun control laws since 20 six and seven year
old children were massacred by a maniac last December. But the Republicants on retreat (perfect word
for them) in a Virginia resort say no one has even mentioned guns or gun
control.
Why not?
They're
too busy deciding which moron should next bring up the subject of legitimate
rape.
Sounds
kinda stupid too.
And
the Republicants are obsessed with cutting spending – it's their second
favorite subject of discussion, preceded by which medical procedures they
should next inflict on pregnant women – yet they never specify what they want
to cut or by how much. They keep sayin'
it's Obama's job to tell THEM what they should want to cut.
That makes no sense.
Of
course it does. See, Republicants don't
really want to cut spending …
They don't?
No.
Well then what do they
want to do?
They
want to TALK about cutting spending.
It's much easier to TALK about cutting spending than actually cutting
anything.
Where's your proof of
that?
When
the fiscal cliff deal was put together by Sen. Mitch McConnell (Rep. Kentucky)
it contained billions in pork:
$1.6
billion in tax free bonds for Goldman Sachs and Bank of America
$9
billion in off-shore tax loopholes for banks and manufacturers
$1.5
billion in tax credits for FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES OWNED BY
US MULTI-NATIONALS.
So what you're saying is that if the Republicants really wanted to cut spending those give-aways to big corporation would never have been included by McConnell.
US MULTI-NATIONALS.

Now
you're beginning to smell the coffee.
