osage commented on the blog post The Difficulty of the Adminstration Splitting Hairs on the Mandate
OBVIOUSLY, the people in his administration, and even president Obama himself, are not as smart as the liberal and progressive Democratas who got out the vote that got him elected. The greatest frustration we have is that the Obama administration stopped listening to us the day after he got elected. They thought they were smarter. They were wrong!

osage commented on the blog post Rick Santorum Holds Huge Lead in Louisiana
How is this not testimony to the ignorance and/or stupidity that southern hillbillys and rednecks are known for? How is this not about dumbed-down voters living in geographically isolated and culturally archaic rural southern communities? How is this not about the gullibility and hypocrisy of the southern religious right? How is this not about the most popular candidate in the south being the most racist, sexist and homophobic candidate in today’s devolving and deviding dysfunctional Republican Party?

osage commented on the blog post President Obama and I Are in Full Agreement About 2012
I keep hiring the “argument” that Pesident Obama ISN’T the PROBLEM….that Republican obstructionists ARE. WHY THEN HASN’T OBAMA MADE REPUBLICANS PAY A HEAVY POLITICAL PRICE FOR THEIR DESTRUCTIVE INTRANSIGENCE!?
WHY HASN’T HE REPEATEDLY CALLED THEM OUT, CONDEMNED THEM…LOUDLY, CLEARLY FOR THEIR DESTRUCTION OF OUR GOVERNMENT?! WHY!?

osage commented on the blog post New WaPost/ABC Poll: 72% of Americans Opposed to Cutting Medicaid, Favor Raising Taxes on Rich People
Obama is fraud. He’s a coporatist conservative who loathes progressives and caters to the rich elites. He pretended to be for CHANGE during the campaign that would benefit working class and underprivileged Americans….so now he wants to CHANGE Social Security, Medicare and Medicade by GUTTING THEM, while giving MORE TAX CUTS TO THE RICH!

NO REPUBLICAN CAN UNITE ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS AND TEA PARTY EXTREMISTS
There will be no “majority” Republican candidate; only a “plurality” candidate is possible.
Watching the Republican primary debates is like watching a TV reality show that combines the pathos of a West Virginia coal mine disaster and the intellectual and emotional depth of a Maury Povich “who’s your daddy” episode with the moral integrity of a KKK family get-together lynching at a Baptist tent revival meeting on liar’s poker casino night held at a “straights only” guns and ammo trailer park in Salt Lake City sponsored by sons and daughters of the Confederacy and the Koch brothers.

osage commented on the blog post Phone Hacking Scandal Brings Out WSJ’s Fear of WikiLeaks
“Do our media brethren really want to invite Congress and prosecutors to regulate how journalists gather the news?”
Do the citizens of the United States of American want to insist that Congress and prosecutors enforce the laws approved and enacted by Congress and investigate, prosecute and punish those who violate the laws of our land to the full extent that our laws allow?

osage commented on the blog post The Logical Outcome of Protecting the Rich Is Massive Unemployment
FACTS – NOT FALSE EQUIVALENCY LIES! – - “BUSH” TAX CUTS, “BUSH” WARS COSTS DO LASTING HARM TO BUDGET OUTLOOK – - THE CAUSES OF THE DEFICIT CRISIS WERE CREATED LONG BEFORE OBAMA BECAME PRESIDENT – - AND REPUBLICANS ARE TRYING TO OBSTRUCT OBAMA FROM CLEANING UP THE DEFICIT DISASTER THEY CREATED!!!
Just TWO POLICIES DATING FROM THE “BUSH” ADMINISTRA¬TION — TAX CUTS and the WARS in Iraq and Afghanista¬n — accounted for over $500 billion of the deficit in 2009 and will account for $7 trillion in deficits in 2009 through 2019, including the associated debt-servi¬ce costs. By 2019, we estimate that these two policies will account for almost half — nearly $10 trillion — of the $20 trillion in debt that will be owed under current policies. (The Medicare prescripti¬on drug benefit enacted in 2003 also will substantia¬lly increase deficits and debt, but we are unable to quantify these impacts due to data limitation¬s.)
These impacts EASILY DWARF the stimulus and financial rescues, which will account for less than $2 trillion (less than 10 percent) of the debt at that time. Furthermor¬e, unlike those temporary costs, these inherited policies (ESPECIALL¬Y the TAX CUTS and the DRUG BENEFIT) do not fade away as the economy recovers.
Without the economic downturn and the fiscal policies of the previous Administra¬tion, the budget would be roughly in balance over the next decade.
http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=view&id=3036
A full 80% of the current debt is directly attributable to Bush/Cheney and the GOP when they were running the show in Washington. Republicans drafted the mantra that “deficits don’t matter” right up to the point they lost power, then all of a sudden it became a huge problem. And of course the solution to that problem (from the GOP point of view) is to slash and burn all social programs and destroy unions (but don’t dare touch those tax cuts for the rich)!

TODAY’S REPUBLICANISM IS THE VICTORY OF THE “ID” OVER THE “SUPEREGO”
Today’s Republicans don’t believe they are their brothers keepers. They don’t believe in humanity, morality or the teachings of Jesus Christ. They don’t believe in logic, fairness or compassion; nor do they have an appreciation for the hardships of Americans less fortunate than themselves.
They think “free trade” means they are free to ship American jobs overseas….free to claim denying jobs to Americans is “good” for America. Driving jobs out of America and Americans out of their homes is “just business”; nothing “personal”.
Corporations must be given the same first amendment free speech rights as individual citizens so they can “buy” political candidates and elections, despite the fact that works against the best interests of working class Americans and diminishes their political influence.
Pollution, global warming and deforestation are all improvable “myths” of egg-head/tree hugger scientists who are “socialist” enemies of “over-regulated” capitalism. The earth, which right wing fundamentalist claim is less than 6,000 years old, will miraculously heal itself! All we have to do is “pray”.
For today’s self-focused/consumed Republicans, it’s not about right or wrong, good or bad, fair or unfair, rational or irrational. They want what they want for no other reason than they WANT it, regardless of the consequences to themselves and everyone else! Somehow, that makes “them” feel good about themselves….makes them “feel” safe.

TODAY’S REPUBLICANS ARE AMERICA’S ENEMY WITHIN
Republicans ARE practicing seditious DEMAGOGUERY and anti-democracy OBSTRUCTIONISM intended to destabilize our economy for purposes of social, political and financial exploitation.
Republicans AREN’T making a sincere effort to STOP the bleeding THEIR incompetent leadership and failed policies created. Instead, they’re using inflammatory lies and false accusation¬s as a smokescreen to conceal their subversive agenda, which is to CAUSE the American economy to collapse and fail so they can blame Democrats for the consequences of THEIR calamitous mismanagement.
Republicans ARE preposterously professing that THEIR disgraceful political WHORING had nothing to do with the banking, real estate, stock market and employment catastrophes that resulted.
Republicans ARE trying to hamstring Democrats to prevent them from repairing the damage caused during a Republican presidency enabled by Republican Senators and Representatives.
Republicans ARE offering ridiculous arguments meant solely to disrupt and prevent constructive change. They’d rather create more suffering for American families than endure the consequences of humane and effective governance.
Republicans AREN’T the LOYAL OPPOSITION; they ARE the ENEMY WITHIN whose mercenary priorities have eroded their moral and ethical standards to the point that duplicity and betrayal have become their preferred modus operandi.
It’s one thing to advocate conservative beliefs; it’s another thing entirely to willfully sabotage America’s government because a beneficial Democratic presidency would not be vulnerable to the avarice, fears and bigotries that have produced and sustained the despicable Republican anti-humanity corporatism and anti-Christian faux theocracies that are poisoning and crippling American society.

osage commented on the blog post Manning Protesters Sing to Obama: “We Paid Our Dues; Where’s Our Change?”
HERE’S WHERE WE ARE IN AMERICAN POLITICS TODAY
Establishment Republicans can’t get elected without the votes of gullible and intellectually dumbed-down irrational teabaggers…..AND UNLESS LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS STAY HOME!
Establishment Democrats can’t get elected WHEN LIBERAL/PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRATS STAY HOME!
Obama won the presidency BECAUSE liberals/progressives voted FOR him and AGAINST Bush Republicans. Democrats were defeated in the midterm elections because liberals/progressives STAYED HOME; not because Republicans were MORE POPULAR or because there are more Republicans than Democrats. Had President Obama not alienated liberal/progressive Democrats, Democrats would not have lost or diminished their respective House and Senate majorities.
Fortunately, for our nation, liberals/progressives are the fraction of voters that most determine who DOES and DOES NOT get elected. When they decide to vote, DEMOCRATS win. When they decide to stay home, Republicans win. When teabaggers vote AND liberals/progressives vote, DEMOCRATS win because there are more Democrats than Republicans.
Republicans like Scott Walker, Jan Brewer, Rick Scott, John Kasich, Rick Snyder, Chris Christie, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann, John Kyl, Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Haley Barbour and Rick Santorum ARE making it IMPOSSIBLE for liberals/progressives to stay home in the 2012 presidential election no matter how much President Obama disappoints them.
These Republicans have openly shown their black hearts AND liberals/progressives are going to be HIGHLY MOTIVATED to vote AGAINST their DESTRUCTIVE INSANITIES!
