The BS of Voter Enthusiam

Posted under Elections,National Happenings,Obama by brian on Tuesday 7 September 2010 at 2:16 pm

Watching the news networks this weekend we all witnessed the expected Labor Day gear up for the midterm elections.  Along with looks into local elections, tons of talking heads and  one hell of a speech by President Obama we also saw quite a few person on the street interviews.

The regular people on the street came from all walks of life, age groups, racial backgrounds and political leanings.  The one thing  I noticed was how many people stated that they lacked the motivation to take an hour of their busy lives to vote in the upcoming election.  This seems to be an ongoing theme in our country for  midterm elections.

You heard people say things like “I am not inspired by any candidate”, “I am disappointed in what has been accomplished during the Obama Presidency”, and the classic “this election will not affect me”.  Of course the vast majority of these comments came from the young, the Democratic and the Independent voters.

In contrast the Conservative Republican and tea bag people interviewed seem highly motivated and ready to come out in force in November.

I have a couple of questions for all of you.  How can you not be motivated to express your opinion in the most fundamental way an American citizen can?  How can you ignore the history of your family who’s members sacrificed hardship and wars to give you that right?  How on earth can you feel that a national election will not affect you in any way?   Why would you gag yourself and your views by not voting?

I would like to take the time to point out a few things, fundamental facts you might say about midterm elections.

First of all the people running for office are not there to inspire you, they will be the ones speaking for you until the next time they run for office.  They will pass laws in your name.  They will follow the policy that they preach in your name.  They will band with other politicians to set the course for our nation in your name.  Whether you vote for them or not they will represent you.  The fact is that very few politicians are truly inspirational, they are bureaucrats, plain and simple.  For every inspirational politician our nation has had there have been hundreds more who simply do the job.  Inspirational or not the person elected will speak for you, your neighborhood and your state.  Rarely if ever will you find a politician who sees every single issue the same way you do, you must choose the one who most closely shares your views.

Next is that every election affects you!  On just about every ballot there are state, city and county tax and bond measures.  There are people on the ballot running not just for national or state office but local judges, sheriffs, DAs, city council and school board members.  How much closer to home do you need an election to get to affect you?

Then there are the national level politics that many people, to my dismay, claim do not affect their lives.  Did the policies of the ten years before President Obama affect your life?  Did uncontrolled financial and investment institutions affect your life?  Did the financial crash affect your life?  Did the war in Iraq affect your life?  Was there anything  the congress, senate and presidency did in those ten years that affected you in any way shape or form?  There is no possible way that any American citizen can say no to that.  All of our lives have been affected by the ten years that Republicans ruled the government.  How can you say now that a national election will not affect your life?

Then you have the crowd that is disillusioned because the changes that President Obama promised are coming too slow.  I have one thing to say to that. Boo frickin Hoo.

We have seen more positive change in this nation in the last two years than we saw in the decade prior to Obama taking office.  If it is not coming fast enough for you than I suggest you look at who represents your state in our government.  We have seen environmental and energy reform bills passed.  We have seen credit protection and health care reform passed.  We have seen an end to combat operations in Iraq.  We have a President who wants to end tax cuts for the rich, expand domestic spending and protect the people from abuse by corporations and their minions.  All this while one party blocks every measure he proposes and others prey on our basic fears and racist attitudes to work against him.

We have candidates running in this election who flat out state they wish to return to the Bush Presidency economic structure.  The very same economic structure that led to the financial problems our nation faces today.    Protect the wealthy and the corporations with tax cuts and exemptions while raising taxes on the middle class and small business. How can that not affect you?

We have candidates running who would seek to rewrite the Constitution of the United States of America so  they can further their religious and racial intolerance.  How can that not motivate you?

We have candidates running who seek to eliminate Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.  They also want to eliminate programs such as unemployment insurance, the FDA and the Department of Education.  Do you seriously think you or your family will not be affected by these actions?

Politicians running on and endorsing policies of hate, fear, intolerance, corporate privilege, environmental neglect, and taking away our basic liberties as Americans is not enough for you to care?

What the hell is wrong with you people?  What exactly would make you care about an election?

You all need a reality check here people!  This election like any other is important.  This election unlike many others may set the tone of our nation for years to come.  Do we want things to go back to the Bush era or heaven help us one step beyond?

Or, do you want our nation to continue the slow and painful process of recovery?  Do you want us to move forward, not backward?  Do you want a democracy or a theocracy?  Do you want we the people to elect those in government or do you want them all to be corporate lackeys?

The choice is yours.  No one can force you to vote.  It is your right and your privilege.  It is something that millions of our forefathers have fought and died for on forgotten battlefields to protect.  It is fundamental for our nation to be represented fairly.

These statements about not being motivated or inspired are excuses.  If you are simply to lazy, to busy, to ignorant to see the importance of voting, or just do not give a damn about our nation then just be honest.  Quit weaseling and whining.  Come out and say so.

One thing I have noticed over the years.  People who bitch and whine and moan about how bad things are in our nation are the ones that did not vote!  My response to them is always the same:  If you did not vote you have no right to voice any opinion on what is happening.  You gave up that particular right when you chose to pass by your polling place on election day rather than casting your ballot.

If you don’t vote, then spend the next two years answering no polls, not speaking in front of a camera, not voicing your opinion and just taking whatever the government says as Gospel.   Why?  You muzzled yourself with the loss of your vote.  You gave your opinion away to others.  You have no say, whatsoever. Enjoy being the flotsam on the ocean that is our nation.

I am not asking you to be inspired or motivated.   However, I am asking you to vote.  It is after all our most fundamental liberty.  Remember, an unenthusiastic vote counts just as much as an enthusiastic one.

Use it or lose it!!! It is your choice!


Obama Labor Day Speech–WOW!

Posted under Elections,National Happenings,Obama,Video,economy by brian on Tuesday 7 September 2010 at 5:08 am

On Labor Day Democratic President Barack Obama gave a speech to a union audience at Laborfest  in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  What a barn burner of a speech it was.

Admittedly President Obama was speaking to an audience that should be mostly on the Democratic side.  But even so, this speech was a doozey an if he had been speaking to an audience of any political persuasion, it would not have diminished the impact of his words.

I think you could say the Republicans have been put on notice.  The Democrats are going to come out hitting in this election and they are going to hit hard. The great hing is, all they have to do is speak the truth.

The Republicans have blocked many bills that would have benefited the middle class and working America.  That is the truth.

The Republicans have stood with big business and mega corporations to the detriment of the rest of us.  That is the truth.

The Republicans have stood beside Wall Street, big oil,energy corporations and big banks against the interests of the majority of the citizens of this country.  That is the truth.

The Republicans have stated they want to get rid of the safety net that protects Americans in their older years or when they are unemployed or when they are sick.  That is the truth.

There are many more truths that the Democrats can hammer the Republicans with.  I don’t think the conservative wing nuts and tea baggers are going to want to hear it anymore than DC Republicans.  But the Democrats need to shout the truth from the rooftops.

If the speech today is any indication, they are going to do just that.

I’m sure some of you missed this rousing speech by the President  because you were out celebrating Labor Day.  So I have posted it here for you in its entirety.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.


Who Would Angle Hurt?

Posted under Elections,Hypocrisy,Senate,economy,hate by brian on Monday 6 September 2010 at 5:09 pm

We have all heard the Nevada Republican tea bagger darling Sharron Angle repeat over and over again how she would change things in our state if she takes the seat of Senator Harry Reid after the November election.

She has told us her vision of Nevada.  A Nevada that saves tons and tons of money by getting rid of all the federal and state handouts that make the people in our state spoiled and lazy.  Handout programs like unemployment insurance, Social Security benefits, disability benefits and federal and state pension plans.

Though being critical of Senator Reid for using his political influence to protect jobs in Nevada, saying it is not a senators job to promote or protect workers jobs in the state,she recently kind of flipped on that topic.  The new and improved Sharron Angle would seek to promote permanent full time jobs for Nevada workers after she has taken the hatchet to all these handouts that make the people of her state so lazy and spoiled.

What she has failed to tell  us is exactly how the people that lost these benefits would survive what could be years until the permanent full time jobs became available.  She has also not stated what she would do with all this extra money in the meantime.  She has also never mentioned how many people in Nevada would be impacted by the loss of these incomes.

I thought it might be a help to us all if we actually saw the number of people in the state of Nevada that would be affected by the ending of programs that Angle sees as a problem.  These figures come from the U.S. Census 2009 figures for the state of Nevada.

State population:             2,643,085

Over 65yrs of age:                     %11.6

Disabled people:                   375,910

Under the cuts Sharron Angle calls for the 375,910 disabled people would lose their federal disability when the Social Security program ends.

Under the cuts Sharron Angle calls for, approximately 300,000 people over the age of 65 would lose their Social Security.

Under the cuts Sharron Angle calls for and considering nearly15% unemployed in our state, approximately 395,000 people would be affected by the end of unemployment benefits.

Now I am aware that this unemployment figure is higher than it should be.  I am taking 15% of the states population, not just those of working age.  The way I look at it the loss of a job and going on unemployment affects more than the person who lost the job.  Th0se benefits are being spent to pay the rent and utilities as well as put food on the table for the entire family.  They are directly impacted by the job loss.  I feel justified in stating that a 15%  unemployment rate affects 15% of the people in the state.  I also could not find a figure for those state and federal employees whose pension plans she seeks to eliminate.

So when you combine those on various forms of Social Security and unemployment, Sharron Angle will be reducing or eliminating the income for 1,070,910 people in a state with a population of 2,643,085!

This would be all well and good if the permanent full time jobs were there to hire the unemployed  immediately.  There is a reason the unemployment rate is so high in Nevada….there are no jobs! Until the jobs are there, eliminating unemployment benefits for these people is the equivalent of putting 395,000 Nevadans on the streets with no home, no food and no hope.

It would work  if you passed some law requiring those who are too old or too disabled to work must live with family or friends who would tend to their needs and expenses.  Or will Sharron Angle ask those who cannot physically work and have lost their Medicare and Social Security to simply go into the desert and quietly die?

Then there is the thing that seems to concern Sharron Angle the most and that is money.  What would happen in Nevada if you eliminated the income for what is close to half of the states population?  How many businesses would go under from the loss of income, thus adding to the ranks of the unemployed?  How many tourists would come to the casinos if every time they stepped out the door they were assailed by legions of hungry and homeless people begging for food and money?

As it turns out there is one particular Nevadan who would be hurt if Sharron Angle’s plans were in effect today and not after she had the job of senator.  That person would be none other than the unemployed Sharron Angle herself.

I must say I was very taken aback to find tea bagger Angle is one of the lazy and spoiled Nevadans she is so critical of.  You can read more about that at Alan.com.

So there you have the cold hard numbers on how many Angle would hurt.

Numbers are just that though, cold and hard.  If you live in Nevada you have to ask yourself the question of who Sharron Angle would hurt.  There would be not one person in our state that would not be affected by what Angle and her tea bagger cohorts wish to do.

Like the rest of the nation, Nevada needs time to recover from the loss of homes, jobs and income caused by the Bush financial crisis.  There is no quick fix, it will be a slow and painful process.  Attacking the poor, the old and the infirm is never the right thing to do.  It is however how Sharron Angle plans to solve all the problems of Nevada.  In one quick bold stroke Angle, if she had the power to do so, would destroy the state of Nevada for generations to come.

So I ask again, who would Sharron Angle hurt?

Do you have parents or other older relatives who rely on Medicare and Social Security?  She would hurt them.

Do you have relatives or friends that are handicapped and rely on SSDI?  She would hurt them.

Are you unemployed and cannot find work?  She would hurt you.

Do you have a friend or relative who would lose their home and go hungry without these benefits?  She would hurt them.

Do you own a business where any unemployed people spend their money, any elderly people spend their Social Security or any disabled come people do business with you?  She would hurt your business.

Do you live in Nevada and want our state to recover from this economic cataclysm?  She would hurt you.

Who would Sharron Angle hurt?

Every single person that lives or does business in Nevada.

Nevada before Angle

Nevada after Angle


Angle Opens Mouth…Again

Posted under Elections,Hypocrisy,National Happenings,Religion,Right Wing Nuttery,Senate,hate by brian on Saturday 4 September 2010 at 11:00 am

By BobbiV

Republican Senate candidate from Nevada, Sharron Angle, couldn’t bear to let let the headlines be dominated by another wing nut Republican candidate.  Jan Brewer, the Republican candidate for governor of Arizona and a fellow tea bagger of Angles has been center stage since her disastrous debate performance Wednesday evening.

Who knows, maybe Angle thought Brewer was affording her cover so it was safe to make an appearance on a conservative radio show.  As Angle is wont to do she opened her mouth good and wide, inserted her foot, bit down and chewed with vigor.

Too bad that Angle again miscalculated the import of her words.  She again did not realize that as a candidate for Senator running against the Senate Majority Leader no less, her every word is going to be recorded and every action possible video taped.  Even if there is scandal and embarrassment going on in other campaigns, you will still be followed and recorded for the record, Sharron.

This time Sharron Angle, that great Christian of all Christians decided to pontificate on unemployment again.  This woman is a very nasty piece of baggage who wants to foist her version of God and religion on all the rest of the country.  If you doubt that just take a look at her comments about the government trying to be God.  She says you don’t need unemployment or Social Security or help of any kind because the real God will provide for you.  I would guess that is why this God provided so well for people in Somalia, Ethiopia, The Congo, Ireland during the great famines, the United States during the Great depression and Europe during World Wars one and two, just to mention a few.

I don’t want to hear that all the millions who died were sacrificed because they prayed in the wrong way, were heathen or didn’t worship the “true God.”  If God loves all His children as your church preaches, then he has to love them all, no convenient exceptions without a thorough explanation.

Angles radio interview quoted from the Huffington Post.

Sitting down with conservative radio talk show host Heidi Harris, Angle once again addressed a topic that brought her a bit of political heat — including a hard-hitting ad from her opponent Harry Reid– not too long ago.

“People don’t want to be unemployed,” she explained. “They want to have real, full-time, permanent jobs with a future. That’s what they want, and we need to create that climate in Washington, D.C. that encourages businesses to create those full-time, permanent jobs with a future, and all [Rep.] Shelley Berkeley and [Senate Majority Leader] Harry Reid want to do is put a band-aid on this by extending unemployment, which really doesn’t benefit anyone. What happens is of course that your skills stagnate. You become demoralized yourself, you know, feeling that I can’t ever get a job, and these are not the solutions to the problem. We have real solutions, but they won’t look at the real solutions.”

Read the rest here.

Really good Sharron, old girl.  So you want God to provide for these people until you get around to getting new jobs they can have.  But remember you said it wasn’t a Senators job to try to provide jobs for the people of their state.  By that standard which you yourself laid out, since you say Harry Reid hasn’t provided jobs to Nevada then he is doing exactly as you say you would do and is an exemplary Senator.

All the tea bagger darlings and wing nut Republican candidates need to learn to get their facts straight as they see them then stick to them.  We have these pesky recording devices that will play back what you said and if you change that, we have every right to demand and receive an explanation.

If you don’t give that explanation then you look like a person who is not very true to your ideals, if you actually have any ideals to begin with.


Jan Brewer – Professional Idiot

Posted under Elections,Hypocrisy,National Happenings,State,hate by brian on Friday 3 September 2010 at 6:12 pm

By Bobbi V

This is the last post I will write about Arizona Republican candidate for governor, Jan Brewer.

I do not like this woman…period.  She has proven herself to be a bigot, a racist and for sure a liar.  We have enough of these empty suits on both the Democratic and especially the Republican side in our government already.  The idea is to get them out of politics not keep nominating them and then electing them into office.

Come on tea baggers and wing nuts out there.  I thought you guys were mad and wanted to “take our country back.”  If that is really the case then why are you backing the same old, same old around the country?  If you are tired of being led on by politicians and lied to, then why elect a proven liar as a governor?  If you really aren’t racists like you keep claiming, then why follow racist leaders?  Why keep falling for it? Did the Bush/Cheney administration teach you nothing?  Or are you all masochists, so addicted to the pain these people inflict that you can’t break free and think for yourself?

Following is the video of Jan Brewer talking to a local news show about bodies in the desert.  She lied, she did it knowing she was doing it and if she thought it would further whatever her objectives are, she would do it without hesitation again and again and again.  Would you allow one of your kids or grand kids to tell bald faced lies like this without any repercussions or punishment?  Or would you reward them for their lies and thereby enable them to lie more without conscience?

A vote for Brewer is exactly that, It is enabling and rewarding her bad behavior.  It also encourages other politicians to go right ahead and lie to the people they are supposed to serve.  Why not, there is no penalty to be paid for it and lies can get you so much further!

You watch the video and decide for yourselves. Listen closely, she says it is wrong that you cannot have faith in elected officials. She must mean wrong for all but her.

Now there is a new ad up from her Democratic opponent, Terry Goddard.  I don’t know if it is only on the net or if it will be running on local television, but every Arizona voter should see it and really pay attention.

This is going to be up to the voters of Arizona.  If they elect this corrupt liar as their governor then thry deserve her.  But don’t let your taint get beyond your borders into the neighboring states.

It is believed this squirrel got this color from digging in John Boehners trash or he was shot in a drive by tanning by the Minority Leader of the House. He has been named Boner by the animal hospital that treated him.


That Crazy Jan

Posted under Elections,Hypocrisy,Immigration,National Happenings,Right Wing Nuttery,State by brian on Friday 3 September 2010 at 4:50 pm

By now I am sure you have all seen the embarrassing video footage of the Arizona governors debate.  Embarrassing for Jan Brewer that is, not so much for the other candidates.  It is no surprise that less than 24 hours after that debate ended Jan Brewer announced she would not be participating in any further debates.  Wonder why she would do that?

While many in the media are reporting this as a debacle for Gov. Brewer I feel they are taking it rather easy on her.  They are describing her as unprepared, forgetful or unfocused.  To me she appeared stupid, demented, possibly insane or (dare I risk the wrath of Palin) retarded.

During her opening statement Gov. Brewer tried to talk about how much she had helped the state of Arizona and how glorious her reign has been.  That was between the long silences and her giggle fits.  Was she laughing because even she could see how ludicrous her own statements were?  Or was she pausing to listen to the voices in her head and giggling at what they had to say?

With her blank stare, mental ward escapee smile and inability to answer the simplest of questions during the debate, Gov. Brewer displayed her total lack of mental prowess.  She refused to respond in any way to any claim she has made in the past and tried to turn the unions and the candidate they support into the bad guys.

In an interview with CNN’s John King even the top law dog in Arizona, Maricopa county Sheriff Joe Arpaio, (himself under federal investigation)  backpedaled away from Gov. Brewers more racist, inflammatory and unprovable ‘facts’.  Jan Brewer has stated on more than one occasion that because of illegal Mexican drug mules in her state,  headless bodies have been found scattered around the Arizona desert.

After pussyfooting around the question with statements like “I have no political agenda so cannot comment on the Governors statements” and “Well Canada the United States and Mexico are all part of North America and I know headless bodies have been found in Mexico” he finally was forced to admit that he was not aware of any headless bodies found in his county.  In this Sheriff Arpaio is not alone.  Not one county Sheriffs office or coroners department in the entire state is aware of a single headless body found in the state of Arizona.

To hear Jan Brewer tell it her states law enforcement agencies should have headless bodies stacked up around the sheriffs office like cord wood.  The sands of her great state should be stained with rivers of blood from all the headless drug running Mexicans.  Is it any wonder that with no proof whatsoever Gov. Brewer avoids answering questions about her claims at all cost?

There is however, a possible explanation to her insistence that there are the bodies of headless Mexicans yet to be found scattered around her state.  Could it just be possible that she is the only person that knows where these headless bodies are because….wait for it…. she is the one that beheaded them in the first place?  Is she  just waiting for her law enforcement community to find them so she can prove how dangerous Mexicans really are?  It was the voices in her head that told her to do it, so she would be innocent of the crime due to mental incompetence.  All the proof she needs for her defense is on video tape from the Governors debate!  That tape of her is mental incompetence writ large for all the world to see.

Recently Gov. Brewers motives on many issues have come into question due to her close ties with privately owned prisons in her state.  While claiming tens of thousands of arrests of illegal immigrants in Arizona ICE is saying nowhere near that number has been turned over to them.  Needless to say ICE is wondering just where all these detainees are.  Either as in the case of the headless bodies Gov. Brewer is just making things up or she is violating the law by holding detainees in her close friends privately owned prisons at her state taxpayers expense.

Gov. Brewer obviously does not like people looking into her statements or asking her any questions she has no canned,rehearsed or memorized statement with which to answer.  She canceled her advertising with the local television station  that dug too deeply into her double dealing and that of her close aides, claiming that old favorite of the wing nut tea baggers “unfair reporting practices”.

After the debate Gov. Brewer showed off her stupidity once more, just for good measure.  When asked by reporters about her insane claims of the numerous headless bodies in Arizona that crazy Jan tried to give a canned and memorized answer yet again, but on another subject.  When her tiny little brain figured out that the reporters would not accept her diversionary tactic and would press her on the headless bodies she got that thousand mile stare again, listened to the voices in her head, put on her nut house smile, said “thank you for coming” and then pulled a Sharon Angle and ran as fast as she could from the question and the cameras!

Weather insane, stupid or retarded or a combination thereof a few things are obvious about Jan Brewer.

First, she is obviously a liar.  Next, she is a racist.  After that it now appears she may be corrupt as well (a corrupt Republican…NO!…go figure!) She is a little temper tantrum drama queen like so many of her peers and can not tolerate being questioned.  She expects her words to be taken as gospel, not at face value and never questioned.

Last and most important, Jan Brewer is not qualified to lead a high school marching band let alone one of the great states in our nation.

What is it about Republican women.  They all try to look so good but they are all either very slow mentally or so into themselves that they understand nothing of the world outside their created reality.    Soon, no amount of cream is going to cover the sagging flesh on these two dear friends.  And yes, I meant to use the word Retard.  But it is directed toward these two ‘women’ , not their families or anyone else, period.

It just seems that Republicans are interchangeable, no matter their sex, state or lies.  I give you the picture below as proof.  See what I mean

Boehner and Palin interchanged. Or maybe not. Eweeeeee!


Jan Brewer Hits the Wall-HARD

Posted under Elections,Hypocrisy,Immigration,National Happenings,State,Video by brian on Thursday 2 September 2010 at 5:42 pm

By BobbiV

Last Night there was a Gubernatorial debate in Arizona between the anti immigration Republican candidate Jan Brewer and the Democratic nominee Terry Goddard.  To say it was a bad night for Brewer would be at the very least an understatement.

She had lapses as long as ten seconds (an eternity of dead air on live television) when apparently her train of thought derailed.  She seemed ill at ease, unprepared and unable to concentrate.

But that was all during her opening statement.  The video below shows her bad start to the evening.

Wow….OUCH!!

The evening got worse for Jan Brewer, much worse.  The tea party darling with her Draconian immigration bill was slow on the uptake and appeared not to be able to answer any off the cuff questions.  If there was any shift from her prepared talking points she froze like a deer in the headlights then would suddenly come back to reality by mouthing another talking point.

Democratic nominee Terry Goddard on the other hand seemed relaxed, responsive and genuinely interested in what is best for the State of Arizona and all its citizens.  He personally asked a question of Brewer about her claim that headless corpses were being found in the desert area of the state, an allegation that proved to be made of whole cloth.  Brewer dodged the question and of course, went back to a talking point.

But after the debate, the Governor didn’t fare so well when confronted by the press.  The video below will let you see her full out stupidity when dealing with this issue.

That is even more revealing and embarrassing for the candidate than the memory lapses during her opening statement.

Is Brewer just an idiot, a false front candidate for other interests, or is she just unable to state her real opinions and answers on anything?

In case you weren’t aware, Gov. Jan Brewer is involved in a wee bit of a scandal that has been dug out by some great local CBS investigative reporting.  Perhaps she is distracted by this mess which of course has to do with money and illegal immigration.  The video below will start to fill you in on this developing scandal.

So there you have it.  The first debate between candidates for governor in Arizona and the first wing nut blood is drawn and in fact, floods the room.  Want to make any bets on further debates?  Want to make any bets on how the press starts to go after Brewer?

There is plenty of blood in the water and the media will do their level best to grab viewers by exposing more shady connections and tearing more flesh off Brewer’s skinny frame.

Start popping the corn, this election season is going to be really interesting.  Politics is so much fun to watch, especially when they fall on their faces by tripping on their own lies.


Angle TOO Extreme

Posted under Elections,Hypocrisy,National Happenings,Religion,Right Wing Nuttery,Senate,hate by brian on Tuesday 31 August 2010 at 6:01 pm

By BobbiV

I will admit I have seen a lot of articles saying Sharron Angle, the Republican tea bagger Senate candidate from Nevada, is too extreme.  I would agree with that wholeheartedly.

I mean, think about it.  Eliminating Social Security is extreme.  Don’t tell me she doesn’t want to do that.  She has said it for five years.  The only reason she flip flops publicly now is handlers from DC who are trying to tone down her extreme image and comments.  Take a look at the screen shots of her website during the primary or watch any number of interviews during that time.  No privatization of Social Security mentioned.  Elimination mentioned yes, privatization no.

Calling those who through no fault of their own, are unemployed spoiled is extreme.

Calling for an end to the Fourteenth Amendment is extreme.

Telling the press in an interview if Congress doesn’t straighten up, people will have to resort to “Second Amendment solutions” is extreme.

Telling a rape or incest victim, no matter how young that they must bear the child of their rapist or relative is extreme.

Wanting to remove the separation between Church and State is extreme.

Telling supporters to “take Harry Reid (your opponent) out” is extreme.

Going all Bachmann and saying there are members of the House and Senate who should be investigated because they are anti-American is extreme.

The list could go on and on but you all get the idea.  These things are what Angle believes.  Myself and others have called them extreme because they are.  But the latest Angle statement brings other descriptive adjectives to mind.  Maybe heartless, cruel, unfeeling, nasty, unchristian, Maoist, Stalinist, cold, elitist, stupid, religious zealot and ignorant come to mind among others that cannot be said in polite company.

I believe Sharron Angle has the right to believe what she wants.  I also believe she has the duty as an American (I’d like to see her birth certificate, please), especially one who is asking for election to high office, to not speak against the Constitution and laws of the United States without grounding her argument in knowledge.  And your God or some other imaginary sky pilot said so just won’t get it.  We don’t base our laws or our lives on religion in this country unless we choose to do so.  That is guaranteed to us in the First Amendment of the same Constitution you would swear to uphold and defend against all enemies both foreign and domestic, if you were elected.

Yes Sharron, w are guaranteed freedom of religion as well as freedom from religion.  That applies to your religion as well as the religion of everyone else.

Angle’s latest dip into the wing nut sauce brings out the fact that she would not have voted for relief for victims of  Hurricane Katrina.  Again heartless and unfeeling come to mind, but especially Unchristian.

From Jon Ralston in the Las Vegas Sun:

I have previously wondered how many Angle tapes are out there to compete with the jobs/Social Security/slush fund/Government is not God classics. I know the answer is: A lot. But I am starting to think there may be one a week (or more) floating around in the cyberspace ether, some of which Angle took off her website after the primary. (But nothing on the Internet is ever really gone, is it?)

Case in point: On today’s fifth anniversary of Katrina, a Democrat supplies a tape of Angle during her 2006 bid for Congress talking about how she would have opposed the $62 billion in relief that only 11 House members opposed (no one in the Senate voted no). The federal version of “41 to Angle,” perhaps.

Read the rest of this article at  http://www.lasvegassun.com/blogs/ralstons-flash/2010/aug/29/angle-2005-i-would-have-voted-no-katrina-relief-fu/

Oh yes Sharron, you have given us a really good idea of where you stand and a really good idea why you lost that bid for Congress in 2006.  You see dear, most people learn from their mistakes and try to educate themselves on history and facts before seeking an office they probably aren’t qualified to hold.  You know, it saves all that pesky embarrassment of looking vapid, silly and dumb before you run through the parking lot.

No amount of botox is going to keep your crypt keepers smile in place through the next two months.
