View from the campaign season



Scott Brown is absolutely threatening to launch the first full scale Indian war in one hundred and fifty years. He has increasingly gotten full-scale and racist nasty as you would expect him to when the polls threaten the Wall Street bankers with the seat they bought in Massachusetts fair and square. That would be a full set back for the financial industry as it means they'll have to search around for somebody new that they can buy. Still don't worry about Scott, if things continue to go south, he's an affable young man who hit the lottery last time when he won his senate seat. He has a wonderful retirement plan. Not just as a public servant but K street also appears to have a way of rewarding their employees when they've done so much for them. They don't give them a watch, but rather a job corrupting future "public servants." The emphasis here really should be on servant part.

Everything Scott Brown learned of Native Americans


The Brown race is not the only one of interest. Todd Akin from Missouri running as the candidate for the legitimate rape party. The Republicans have shown an inability to even govern the nuts in their own party. At least Akin hasn't turned into a witch yet and turned everybody into a newt.



Then comes Mitt Romney with his 47 percent. How can someone running for president be so stupid? That means Romney has to capture the other 51% in its entirety to win which shouldn't be so hard when the candidate turns on the charm offensive. Mitt if you really feel that way wait until you're in a room with your closest friend, a mirror, before you vocalize your feeling and then after you do break the mirror  Who would think that the help that serves you drinks and food could ever resent the fact that you just called all their hopes and desires irrelevant? The best thing about this is that it was Jimmy Carter's grandson, the man who has been vilified as a human punching bag for thirty years by the Republican candidates, who helped break him. Yes toward the end of his time in office his economy may have stagnated a little but Carter wasn't stupid enough to insult half the country in front of an open microphone.

The usual Jimmy Carter BS

Obviously this was before Reagan and sunrises were invented



Meanwhile the Republican candidates: Ryan, Romney (when you catch him on the flop of his flip/flop cycle), Tommy Thompson, Linda McMahon, Todd Akin threaten Social Security, medicare and medicaid  Just because so much of the public money went into the banker's coffers before disappearing and thus leaving communities insolvent, doesn't mean that anyone in the banking industry should be held  responsible; but instead you should stop the taxpayers from getting services that this missing money could have been used to pay for. Next the public will start expecting a middle class jobs with middle class pay and a pension into old age. The sad part is how many Americans work so diligently work against their own interest because it seems so much easier to listen to political manipulators than it is to pick up a book or look up an article on some new information.



Democrats should not celebrate the collapse of the Republican Party into intellectual irrelevance. The Democratic party is much too buddy/buddy with big business too and the the fact that the other side doesn't believe in Science - government regulators, that corporations aren't people, the people shouldn't have the right to shoot people at will, that government has no right to come between you and your significant other, that government should have to give something back to ordinary citizens for all the money it takes, or that government should even be allowed to exist at all - is nothing to celebrate. We need more than in this country to apply pressure on our own leaders to do the right thing. The fact of the matter we're in serious danger of only having one party and it will be a corrupted party.

Aabbbbbaaabbbbb That's all folks
