I’m blaming the professional managerial cla$$ in top 20% in household income, who are trapped as cowering cripples of the conventional wisdom –

the crowd who in 2004 were prattling on with – “I like Dean, but, the thugs will lie and they’ll scare the middle and we’ll lose, unlike Kerry, who is electable”

I’m 52, I’ve lived in Boston or Seattle for 31 of the last 34 years. I’ve been part of the support serf world – fine dining cook in Boston, blah blah, email server & database server serf at Microsoft, math teacher – I live among those 1/2 a million households making over 100k a year, I do NOT live in the rest of state with the 2 million households living on under 100k. (See table 706, statistical abstract of the united states, 2012)

These 1/2 million supply the $500 and $2500 checks that keep the Democratic Party running, and

there ain’t NO frames that engage and activate and keep activated the bottom 2 million … cuz …

we’ll scare the middle and lose!

Oh well – I believe that the messaging is out there – IF the righties can effectively lie to rip everyone off

(oh yeah, by the way, like oh my gawd – THEY’RE THIEVES, THEY HAVE TO BE EXCELLENT LIARS!! )

why isn’t there messaging to isolate and ostracize and criminalize these lying right wing bastards ????

cuz, we’ll scare the middle and lose!

rmm.

while it is LAUGHABLE to think that the people who vote for Mittens are going to get anything but screwed (unless you’re 1 of his thieving buddies)

I’m actually glad the support for 0bummer suck$ – he seriously misrepresented himself because he’s a fucking liar and working for them, so, he’s got what he earned.

rmm.

(p.s. all you brainiancs out there who can PROVE to me that 0bummer’s record sucked and his fuzzy hazy statements were NOT backed up by his voting record or his actions – YAWN. tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands didn’t go out in crappy weather to see this guy 4 years ago to hear ruminations on what the definition of is is … he knew what he was taking advantage of, and he had Geithner & those fucking scum on board before the end of November 2008)

is that anything like having Kerry the war hero who was electable, cuz, the righties couldn’t lie about a war hero?

is that anything like Gore’s shitty campaign designed to not scare the middle cuz then we’ll lose?

I WILL defend this argument from this perspective –

IF you’re 1 of the Bob Schrum scum who’ve been living great chasing the right wing defined ‘middle’ further right for the last 20++ years, you SHOULD lie like this. IF you’re an idiot and you believe this shit, you SHOULD repeat it. IF you’re aspiring to be a Bob Schrum sell out scum, you SHOULD repeat the lies. IF you’re too fucking dumb to know what I’m talking about … vote for Sarah Palin, you deserve her.

rmm.

I think medicinecat @6 nailed it —

BTW … when was the fillibuster used by the Dims to REALLY stop the lying thieving scum ?? yawn.

at least with the right wing senators, I have never voted for them! I’ve voted FOR kerry / kennedy / cantwell / murray … ugh, disgusting diaper pissers, all.

yup … I’m even looking back at too often bipartisan Teddy as part of the problem … to hell with all of them.

harry reid is a fucking liar, and, once again, Jon Walker delivers a dkos front page worthy diary. “Mean Meanies Are Mean!”

rmm.

lugar is a moderate? I suppose they have you here so we don’t have to go to dkos and worship the pragmatic …?

After 2000, after ACORN …

for decades I HOPE-d these ‘moderate’ Democrats I voted FOR were gonna make stuff work – they’d get the messaging that worked to defeat the lying fascists and they’d sell the policies to defeat the lying fascists and they’d make the programs work to defeat the lying fascists … I feel like such a goddam chump.

and right now, brought to you by the noblerer, the gooderer, the smarterer dim-o-craps of hte great state of Wishy-Warshy, Pacified Northwest —

we have the campaign of Cry Walker, and let slip the dogs of fear!

a plague on all their houses.

rmm

another dkos caliber diary … yawn on jon.

MAYBE the change people were hoping for wasn’t Geithner, Summers, AHIP-Care, PHARMA-Care, AIG-Care?

MAYBE if the Dim-0-Crap$ didn’t hire the same ol same yuppie insider fucks on messaging they could stuffed the f’king lies on bipartisan-shit back into the dark holes those lies come from?

MAYBE I’m kidding when I say “MAYBE”, cuz – people are fed up and there ain’t no “MAYBE” about it?

So, what is the title of the Great K-School Tome of Excuses — “0bummer We Hardly Knew Ye” … Hopey-Changey and Hopey-AK both deserve the same circle of Sell Out hell … at least when the fascists lie to me so they can steal, I didn’t vote for ‘em!

rmm.

too many who haven’t been bought and sold suffer from the results of the college VS. trade school, professional VS. worker mentality -

figuring out detailed legislation with detailed processes that are public and HARD to change is hard work – “our” side is filled with people who want to be George Kennan, writing the containment policy, whispering in the ear(s) of the Big Shots – our side is NOT filled with people who have or want the detailed technical backgrounds necessary to tweeze through complex processes …

they want to wave their hands, give the “I have a Dream” Speech (and ask NOT what the details are), write the Tome of Truth, getting the Teddy White / David Halberstam gig being the sage on McNeil-Lehrer …

and … who wouldn’t prefer being a pontificating blowhard to being the buried in a cube dweeb who actually figures shit out?

I’m not a closet fascist, but, the incentive structure is ALL wrong – we should celebrate the fixer instead of the blowhard.

rmm.

WHY is having different messaging ‘pandering to the lowest common denominator’ ??

I honestly think that you should NOT donate to, or be around, people who make you uncomfortable. However, there are lots and lots of levels of political messaging – and the ONLY level the dems / progressives use is this I’m-Noblerer-Better-Gooderer-Smarterer-Than-You from the leafy neighborhood, condescending class.

Could you consider do unto others? I don’t require you being around me while I call them a bunch of thieving lying scum – why do you require that I only talk like you? Oh yeah – and you think some passion, and calling elitist scum what they are – elitist scum – will lose …??

What the hell has been happening with 30+ years of Dudcrapkis Kerry Gore Clinton 0bummer don’t-scare-the-middle-or-we’ll lose mush? The mush lovers are sold – what about everyone else? You’re style of campaigning ain’t my style, but, unless I do what you want you’ll go home?

can’t we just be in different parts of the room? I won’t crash your party with Cousin Eddie and his dog Snot.

IF you want MY help for your dilettante getting the vapors politics, then you should allow me my (figurative) knuckle sandwich politics.

The victories of the 30′s did NOT happen cuz everyone sat around humming ‘we shall overcome’ and watching “I have a dream” …

rmm.

I think the root of the problem is household income –

http://www.census.gov/compendia/statab/2012/tables/12s0706.pdf

For example, in WA. state there are about 500,000 households with income over $100,000 a year, and about 2,000,000 under that level. What do you need to do to fit in and get hired and stay hired and get promoted so you’re not jettisoned into the 7-11 and junk mart class of workers ?? Get along, go along, don’t rock the boat, talk intelligently about buying and maintaining your house and your car and your 56 inch t.v. and your vacations … and do NOT rant and rave about class warfare!

If you’re part of those 1/2 a million households, you really really don’t deal with the bottom 1/2, except you interface with them at McDonalds or the Jiffy Lube.

Since this top 1/2 million are a significant part of the financial backbone of the Democratic party, when you convince them that THE winning political tactics, strategies and messaging are just different flavors of insipid noble mush and vacuous safe symbolic protest – well, guess what – the lies of Raygun-Cheney-Bush are NEVER killed

and the bastards like Ailes, Atewater and Rove keep screwing us to the wall, to the benefit of the 1%.

Too many of the progressive Democratic party crowd aren’t just too timid, they’re fucking politically incompetent outside the echo chambers of their leafy neighborhoods –

and even though they celebrate diversity of skin and holiday and holiday food and attire and language and gawd … they don’t tolerate investing in messaging, tactics and strategy which will create sustainable, long term activation and engagement of us bottom 70 and 80 per centers.

Oh, by the way – I didn’t mention the high flying fancy credentialed fancy degreed fancy paid yuppie scum sell outs of the DLC / Third Way / New Dem cla$$ – they’re in a league of their own – non-bigoted non-sexist enlitened rich pig ass kissers who sell us out, decade after decade.

rmm.

This was such a typical BLOWN opportunity – in our different roles in life, the choice$ we have and the choice$ we don’t have are strongly correlated to the re$ource$ we have or we don’t have -

the re$ource$ we have as a community and have as individuals are CONTROLLED by the thieving lying bandits of Anne Romney’s parasitic $ocial cla$$ – few to almost none of whom invented google, penicillin, the hoola hoop, or anything else meriting their wealth.

I’ve worked in shithole food services, fine dining, on fishing boats, at Microsoft with support serfs, as a teacher — and to compare the choices of the parents I’ve worked with to the choices this dilettante has had.

No wonder “progressives” lose … we’re pathetic when defining who IS on our side and who ain’t. Our diversity if skin color and religion and who we sleep with and our holiday food – and our messaging, tactics and strategy RUN from engaging the Cousin Eddie class … that bottom 70%.

This was a GREAT opportunity to paint the Romney cla$$ for what they are – parasites. Of course, since so many of the elite in the Democratic Party have proven themselves ONLY excellent at getting in charge and staying in charge and keeping the in charge paycheck –

maybe that is why “our” elites jumped to Romney’s defense?

don’t get me wrong – EVERYONE should associate with whoever they want, and, everyone has the right to say whatever they want.

And I have the right to tell rich pig lying bandits that they’re bandits, to tell rich pig ass kissers that they’re rich pig ass kissers, and to tell those who tell me that I can ONLY vote rich pig bandit OR rich pig ass kisser – go jump in a lake … and,do you need a cinder block?

rmm.

rahmbo – jr — you forgot to call us all professional lefties.

IF you live in the nice ‘hoods AND you make your living sucking off the DLC “inspired” sell outs, you SHOULD defend 0bummer AND you should blame us know no-bodies!!

IF you aren’t living in those nice hoods, and you’re trying to get those nice hoods, you should blame us know no-bodies.

IF you don’t know what I’m talking about, or, you’re basically a grunt aiding and abetting the first 2 groups for your peanuts and your fancier gerbil wheel, you’re f’king pathetic. have fun being a chump. Oh yeah – and keep blaming us know nobodies !!!

rmm.

gore – about 50,996 million votes

kerry – about 58,895 million votes

0bummer – about 68,498 million votes

so … the petulant irrelevant fringe of DFHs keeps wreaking havoc and wrecking the party from attracting moderates – even though the petulants are told to STFU and given peanuts –

so if we’re a FRINGE we came up with 17,000,000 votes?

OR – how about this pathetic ‘moderate’ diaper pissing on a good day, complete sell out bullshit on most days – how about sell out-ism under a blatantly phony ‘moderate’ banner inspires people NOT a bit!

how many millions will 0bummer lose this nov.? how close will his vote count be to kerry? to gore? while I’m so fed up with being betrayed for decades by these ivy sell out lying fucks that I don’t give a shit if romney and his droolers win — I wil be interested in the turnout numbers.

the civil liberties / civil rights thing … the benefits I should have …

all those excellent concepts have been trashed, deliberately, by the right wing liars.

the effective marketing of effective government we NEVER got, cuz we NEVER got people interested in the hard work of making stuff effective …

we never got effective marketing against the right lies on civil rights & liberties & benefits …

and I don’t know the answer.

for about 5 kind of 10 years, I’ve been playing around with telling people that “benefits” are NOT “benefits”, they are EARNINGS.

tens of millions of us work, tens of millions of us create a surplus, and is that surplus invested for the health of our community, today, and for the prosperity of tomorrow’s community, OR, is it fucking stolen for pyramids, pyramid schemes and ponzi schemes?

As a community, it is fracking LOGICAL to invest the surplus to maintain the infrastructure and enhance the infrastructure, it is LOGICAL to educate the young so they can take up the reins, it is LOGICAL to keep the community of people healthy so they can be productive, it is LOGICAL to let the elderly live with some dignity when they can’t kick into the surplus.

there ain’t no ‘BENEFITS’, there are earnings which are invested, or stolen.

oh, and by the way – HOW do we hold accountable those at the top stealing out surplus when they can accuse us secretly, convict us without witnesses in open court, arrest us with a public warrant, confiscate with open process, vex us without competent legal assistance? I don’t give a fuck about ‘RIGHTS’ from some goddam piece of paper, and neither should anyone else – those ‘RIGHTS’ are yours with or without fucking paperwork – unless you’re not paying attention, or a fucking idiot, or a rich pig ass kisser.

We ALL should HAVE fair and open processes, fair and open rules. The paperwork of the processes and the rules ain’t the reasons those processes or rules exists – they exist cuz we’re NOT fucking doormats, serfs, catch farts and cannon fodder …

or, are we?

rmm.

When I was 18 in ’78 I was transitioning from full time welfare recipient to full time student at Boston College completely dependent on financial aid.

At the time, even through the haze of my family hobby of multiple six packs a day, 6 days a week,

at the time I KNEW that Prop 13 outta CA. was about making shit run, AND, about the lies from f’king fascists who wanted ALL of us grovelling for that opportunity to be doormat, boot licker, ass wipe, ass kisser, catch fart, serf and cannon fodder.

I knew in 1978 MA. that there was a fabulous opportunity to make shit work, and stuff the lies fo the fascists back into the holes those lies came from.

So, WHERE are we 32 years later?

Well, the paper shuffling highly credentialed highly degreed highly connected highly compensated liberal ELITES who can create mountains of Tomes of Truth for Kennedy School Of Government, College of Erudite Excuse Makers … those ELITES are still employed making excuses AND NOT making 1 goddam thing run better for us know nothing know no-bodies.

Oh yeah, and those “moderate” democrats I’ve voted for, for decades …?? those democrats who I HOPED were gonna do something with all their fancy degrees and fancy connections – something like make shit work, well, from those yuppie scum sell outs we have:

1. enabling right wing destruction of family wage jobs,

2. enabling of right wing destruction of health care access, (see #1.)

3. enabling of right wing destruction of retirement security, (see 0bummer’s catfood commission, See Bernanke, Geithner, Summers… Sell Wall Street V. Main Street, see #1.)

4. enabling of right wing destruction of publicly funded education … See Arne, Democrats for Education Reform, League of Education Voters, Stand On Children, the Gates Foundation, the Broad Foundation …

I look forward to helping “I welcome their hatred” Democratic fighters in primaries,

I look forward to bad mouthing yuppie scum sell outs, and political pathetics,

I look forward to writing in “Medicare ForALL” instead of checking off the names of political diaper pissing cowards, OR, the yuppie sell out scum fascist enablers.

rmm.

oops! forgot all about that “because we fell asleep” bullshit line.

the author is:

1. 1 of the highly paid sell out honchos staying employed by blaming us little nobodies, instead of their own sell out asses.

2. an aspiring sell out honcho.

3. a, sadly, misdirected citizen.

4. a fracking idiot who doesn’t know what I’m talking about.

Funny how the “leaders” blame us for NOT running outta the trench into enemy fire while the “leaders” are in the rear chasing skirts and sucking down the caviar and chardonnay.

blame me? – go frack yourself.
