Out Of Touch

From the VOMITORIUM

I hear some conserv pundits say, almost daily, that Repubs have ideas and have the will, just not the power to institute conserv ideals…..I will agree that there are some ideas coming from the GOP but most are recycled from the 80’s…just change the wording to make it sound new and fresh…..you know the stuff…tort reform, privatize Social Security,  cut the deficit, smaller government….yada yada yada…..

First of all, I would like to apologize to my conserv friends…I know it looks like I pick on the GOP way too much…but in reality they ask for it…..

The truth of the matter is that most conservs are old white guys that are out of touch with America….do not care what they call their latest proposal (Road Map For America’s Future…in case you were wondering)

GOP has NO new ideas for government or the economy…they are just re-hashes from the past or the fact that all the things that they are opposed to could have been addressed when they held the majority or their whining but others whining…..

I know,  if you are a conserv then you think I am being a “leftie” agitator…you would like more specifics….cool..I am down with that!

GOP candidate Angle  in Nevada thinks that you can eliminate unemployment by denying unemployment benefits to people out of work or,

GOP minority leader in the House, Boehner who compares the economic crisis to an ant or,

GOP Rand Paul who thinks that BP is being picked on and should be left alone or,

RNC chairman Michael Steele who thinks Obama started the war in Afghanistan…..

“The McChrystal incident, to me, was very comical. And I think it’s a reflection of the frustration that a lot of our military leaders have with this Administration and their prosecution of the war in Afghanistan,” said Steele. “Keep in mind again, federal candidates, this was a war of Obama’s choosing. This is not something the United States had actively prosecuted or wanted to engage in.”

And Steele is the chairman of the RNC…he is your spokesman!

Come Repubs admit it!  Your leadership and candidates are out of touch with the rest of the country…..how can you ask the people to vote for candidates that have no grasp of what it is to live in the real world?

Women Rule Mid-Term Elections

Inkwell Institute

2010/2012 Election Series

For the most part the normal mid-term election primaries are about as boring as watching flies mate…for the most part the 2010 ones were No exception…..but…..there were few races that caught my eye….why?  Women!  I like women and political women are just hot…for the most part…but this time around there was more to the campaigns than just political diatribes…..to be honest there was some real funk going on…..

Meg Whitman in Calif has spent over $80 million in a primary and the general is coming on strong……is the running of a bankrupt state really worth $80 million?  Fiorina will take on Boxer for the Senate seat as the outsider……

South Carolina, the attractive Tea Party candidate has won a run-off for the GOP nomination, Nikki Haley, even after allegations of a couple of sexual affairs were thrown around….she said she would resign if they can be proven…keep an eye on that see if that campaign promise will be kept….

Blanche Lincoln has pulled her political butt out of the fire by making a comeback against Halter in the primary and now she will move on to the general against the GOP candidate and will most likely lose her seat in the anti-Washington sentiment of the Arkansas voter.  But I think that her voting record and campaign donations may bite her harder in the butt than labor did in the run-off.

But the favorite of all the races has been Nevada…..one candidate wants to use barter like chickens for health care to bring down the cost but the best is the one that is currently in the lead……Angle….the whackier of the women in this race…..she does not think that alcohol should be legal, she wants to pull out of UN, wants to disband Social Security, just a few of her more scarier of beliefs…..the good news is that she will most likely face Harry Reid for the Senate seat….he should have an easy campaign….that is assuming that the people of Nevada are not complete idiots.

Women have had this mid term dance a bit more interesting than it would have been without them…at least for me….the mid-term elections are usually just a rubber stamp of the political dance and then when it becomes something more….thanx to the American voter and their anger at the way Washington is doing business….
