This is incredible why does Newt Gingrich have a platform?

The guy who carried the state of South Carolina in the Republican primary, who was propped up by his one billionaire backer until the very end, was interviewed by a host who seemed to have amnesia about Gingrich's other comments about Ryan's plan being right wing social engineering. This is everything wrong with the main stream media. One good thing this will help him with his speaking fees so he won't have to get a job as a junior janitor. I understand Tiffany's is expensive on a janitor's budget.

The Republicans continue to build their bridge to the 19th century

From the modern gilded age and back to quaint gilded age when people had the personal responsibility to just starve on their own.

The Lobbyists were hard at work crafting their bills. Here is one who misplaced his little Paul Ryan worker bee

Some believe that Newt Gingrich's grandfather was at working showing these kids the importance of work ethics

The job creators were hard at work

No lazy freeloaders here. The good news at work is they can get a job in Maine which is busy repealing those laws that their do-gooders put in place.

Just look at all thejobs that were created here. Architect and the person who puts all the gold leaf on the walls. You couldn't expect them to have just a regular dining room

The question to ask is who is more closely representing you lots of middle class union members or one non-tax paying billionaire

A major election is about to happen in Wisconsin to determine whether democracy is now totally for sale or whether it is just deeply flawed and in bad need of an overhaul. The governor of Wisconsin, Scott Walker, has declared a plan to "divide and conquer." That in itself suggests that the attack on the public employee unions was not an end unto itself but rather the first step toward some larger goal. And where the first step of the plan was largely an attack on people making less than $100,000, it wouldn't be surprising if the steps to follow will be more of the same. Only this time the wages will be lowered on someone else, as the unions would have already taken their hit. Of course Walker says one thing when he thinks no one is around; and quite another when he's serving up the pablum to the rubes for public consumption.


Diane Hendrick, the lady in the infamous Scott Walker video, is the richest woman in Wisconsin and doesn't pay taxes. Instead she thinks nothing of giving Walker a little taste, by cutting him a check for multiple hundreds of thousands of dollars. Republican politicians seem desperate from keeping themselves from being stuck in the muck with their fellow citizens. Instead they'd rather hang out with the very rich: and who wouldn't, after all the rich tend to stay in better hotel rooms and travel in a lot of corporate jets.

As Newt Gingrich's sugar daddy, Sheldon Adelson, proved that all's that it really takes anymore is one sugar dady to keep someone afloat whether or not anyone else wants him in the race or not. They can prop someone up singlehandedly and the corporate media will take them seriously pretending that the one eccentric billionaire isn't the only one who supports their campaign, with more money than he knows what to do with. If a politician has a huge following of Americans behind him but no billionaire their candidacy in essentially over. Adelson's favorite charity case, who jealously hated other chairty cases, Newt Gingrich, is out. Adelson needs to find another hopeless wretch to put his money behind and along comes Scott Walker. Adelson tossed the poor waif another 250,000 and tells him to shine his car. ( story here: http://www.americablog.com/2012/05/former-gingrich-billionaire-sheldon.html). The shining car part  will be attributed to sarcasm.

Newt Gingrich back in happier times when he was Sheldon Adelson's boy toy, long before Adelson hooked up with that flavor of the week Scott Walker.

Scott Walker still waiting for his free trip to Cali on David Koch's dime. He may be corrupt but as his chattering away to the fake David Koch he isn't the sharpest knife in the draw.

The Republicans have the unenviable task of convincing people who are a long way from the richest people in the state and who do pay taxes, that Hendrick's goals and are exactly like theirs. Still they have an unending stream of money to badger people into voting the way they want.even if it is against their own interest. They can flood the air waves with  ubiquitous ads until a lie becomes the truth. The ads can talk about guns, abortion, welfare, union thugs, gay marriage, foreigners, and whether their president was born in America... anything other than the fact that Scott Walker's friends makes scads more money than they do and doesn't pay nearly as much taxes they do. After all taxes are for suckers. In this Scott Walker is little more than a gopher for the well connected. As much of a gopher as someone who brings Hendricks a glass of water when she beckons for it, fetches her mail, and calls for a car when she needs to travel downtown. Of course Walker is a much better paid tool than the average gopher. He is a very well paid government worker who is paid to sell out his fellow citizens, which isn't surprising as it takes a lot for some people to turn Quisling. 

France: the storming of the Bastille. There might have been a different outcome if only they had had a campaign that the Jacobins want to take your guns away and give your jobs to foreigners and Robespierre is really a left wing, Kenyan Muslim Socialist. The crowd instead have been cheering for the Bourbon dynasy "four hundred more years."

So the wisconsin election literally comes down to people who are being screwed or know family members being screwed, or friends or neighbors being screwed or  expect to be screwed at some future date; against scads and scads of dollars, and a built in believe that there are enough people stupid enough to buy anything if you put a bunch of money behind it and repeat lies over and over again. One side believes in lifting all boats; while the other seeks to have people fight in the mud puddle to jealously pull their neighbors in with them.

Did you here some of your fellow pigs have a pension plan? Don't demand you should have one too but instead pull them right down in the mud

For a government worker who apparently hates government workers it is amazing how hard Scott Walker has fought to hold onto his government job. He certainly appears to loathe the idea of being in the private sector. He appears perfectly willing to lie, break laws, harass his enemies, and sell access to as many outside interest to keep his good fat government job, with his government pension and his government health care. Of course that's what he desires to deny to his fellow Wisconsin citizens . It's like he climbed to his version of political/economic nirvana and he wants to pull the latter up behind him. In fact, he seems quite content to use the state government as his own private ATM.

Who wants to buy a politician? Will work cheap.

So what this all comes down to is whether Wisconsin voters actually believe that these middle class workers unions, which have been freely chosen by their membership, actually do a better job representing  middle class interests than one billionaire, who doesn't pay taxes and gives lots of gifts to their "supposed" representatives. And whether money swamps democracy this time or not, this movement needs to go forward and continues to be more unruly until this government stops being governable. To complacently sit back and to hope their corrupt leaders just do the right thing is a way towards "wage slavery."

My Adventures In Republican World

The South might have rejected Romney; but truthfully did they really have any choice. Romney was really picked for them, anointed by the Republican power structure and now who's who in Republican establishment is coming out of the wood work to say that he's already been chosen now get out of the way. At the end of the day and come November, the Republican power brokers know that " Mr. Etch a Sketch" will get the nod in the south over a Kenyan Muslim Socialist from Hawaii.

It really doesn't matter that the people picking Romney are all from states that he won't carry in the fall, part of a contingent or a dying tribe of Yankees too unpopular  to carry  their own region  into the Republican camp. It also doesn't matter that Mitt's campaign manager basically came out and said, "We have to say this shit to get elected but don't worry we really don't mean it. We just have to say enough to get enough of you crazies to vote for us."

They know that what matters in the fall is that a candidate has a little R next to his name and not that they have any core convictions. Santorum is losing, swamped by a Tsunami of money (50 to 1 in Wisconsin). If you want the nomination all's you have to prove is your opponent is even a bigger slime than you - and it doesn't really matter if it has any lasting effect only that sews enough doubt for one day in a voting cycle: election day. Then afterwards they're stuck with this person and can blame them for really being too liberal. Romney's victory in the Republican primary is a straight up victory for buying nominations. The only difference is that it would be much cheaper if it came with a price tag rather than having the spending be open ended.

Newt is dead in the water and he seems to be the only person who doesn't know it. This is a man that loves the camera. Newt loves to think he's a great thinker, so far his best idea seems to be: little kid janitors on the moon. It is only a question of which has more girth Gingrich's ego or his head.

The biggest surprise of this election cycle has been the passivity of Ron Paul and his lack of the rabid constituency that we heard so much about. It is in some ways like he and Mitt Romney have some kind of deal worked out and, whatever you think of Paul, if that is the case it violates everything he supposedly stands for.

Meanwhile Rick Santorum, Romney's principle rival who has beaten Romney in nearly every solidly Republican state, even though he alienates every other voting block on a weekly basis other than white christian males. He insults blacks, alienates women, and tells everyone in Puerta Rico that they need to learn to speak English and still Romney struggles with him. Part of this is the fact Santorum didn't bother to read the owner's manual before he ran for president and as a result he has managed to eliminate whole counties from his delegate count or, as is the case with Virginia, a whole state.

And in the middle of this the Republican Supreme Court wades into the fray with their activist law books blazing. Many of them are the same legal scholars who gave us that brilliant Bush vs. Gore decision: a decision that not only overturned an election but also said that the decision only applied to this particular case and only to particular people named Gore and Bush, and could never be used in future cases. Then when the election was handed to Bush - the party aggrieved by the fact he would have lost the election if  the ballots were counted  - the media was quick to want to move on. Nothing to see here. Beside the endless coverage of the attempted to stolen elections in the Ukraine easily overshadowed what was happening in Washington. A few wars and a few trillion dollars of debt later, many of those same wise old justices are back at it again. They are still in good physical condition taking full advantage of their government mandated health care as they make sure that millions of Americans have the liberty to die rather than be cared for. They are making sure this sick captive nation remains imprisoned to the health care industry. And some people thought they were kidding about death panels.

But the last burning question that all America really wants to know is whether Mitt Romney's taxes should be half of everyone else's or if it needs to be lowered. Maybe the Supreme Court could impart some of their wisdom onto this as well.
