Fear, Loathing and Tons of Strippers: What Happens When the GOP Comes to Town

The question is - Can half this country order the other have to the tongue of the wagon?  A very real form of human bondage.

And even if it turns out that way, the formula does not work.  It violates the Law of Self Interest.  People will not devote ever more hours of labor every day and not receive the direct benefit of that labor.  We are trending from avoidance to evasion and it will accelerate.

And to exacerbate the situation, we have reached the point where we have taxed Future wealth and income yet to be created to the extent it won't be - created.  Again, it is the usurpation of the law of self-interest.

This ain't your Daddy's Depression.  That debt wall is now so large it darkens the skies.  And it's alive.  It is growing upon itself.  And the only thing that has any possibility of overtaking its rate of growth is growth.  Growth in the the Gross Domestic Product. that's us, folks, not Wall Street.  And that means small business.  For it has always been the Great Unwashed that has tractored us all out of these recessions and depressions.

And that takes us back to square one.

It ain't magic and it is not a matter of rote faith, a Hail Mary, or a wing and a prayer.

We are in a very dark place, and this is just Purgatory.  It can and will get a lot worse.  Just look at the last century.

So yeah, we will be at each other's throats if we do not change course immediately.

The dogs are mewling and the birds are flying inland.  Every natural sign is yelling, something bad is coming.

I'm still waiting for the Simpson-Bowles presidential ticket

The GOP’s 2012 convention theme will be, “We Did Build This!” — which is amusing since the Republican National Committee convention will actually be held at the Tampa Bay Times Forum, which is publicly-owned and is managed with taxpayer funds. The media center for the RNC Convention is the Tampa Convention Center, which is also publicly-owned, and was built with $140 million in taxpayer funds.

The GI bill and massive road construction were federal programs that aided the parents of today's white suburban citizens, yet they insist upon excoriating African-Americans for being "dependent upon the government for assistance".  Republican trash talk and race-baiting is feeding this ignorance.

The Romney-Ryan-Akin team has forbidden the press from asking any questions about Medicare, reproductive rights, or tax returns.

GOP convention theme: 'We built this!'

The University of Colorado analysis is out.  This analysis is unique in its predictive ability. The model correctly predicted all Presidential elections since 1980.

The most recent University of Colorado (UC) analysis has Mitt Romney the winner of the 2012 Presidential election according to political science professors Kenneth Bickers of UC Boulder and Michael Berry of UC Denver. The predictions were presented in a press release on August 22, 2012, and will appear in PS: Political Science & Politics, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Political Science Association this month and be updated in September.

“According to their analysis President Barack Obama will win 218 votes in the Electoral College, short of the 270 he needs. And though they chiefly focus on the Electoral College, the political scientists predict Romney will win 52.9 percent of the popular vote to Obama’s 47.1 percent, when considering only the two major political parties.”

GOD is very angry at the republicans for their immense hatred of everyone.  HE is sending Hurricane Isaac into Tampa to shut down their convention.

Here on the 'ol D-O blogs, most of us just have to treat these threads not as a narrow lane built and policed by a Liberal cop, but as an opportunity to express an opinion why this street and this cop exist in the first place.  

Can ya dig it?  So here goes:

Romney's one of the good guys on the planet. He was a Governor, a highly successful businessman, and can obviously take a punch, and counter-punch. He can carry the right and will capture the center and disaffected Democrats. He will beat the President. After all, this election will be a plebiscite on Obama's record and where he's dragging the soul of this country.

Romney is the nominee and the next President because he is the most qualified, possesses the most experience, and exhibits the most Leadership. He knows how to lead. He will stand down the regulatory agencies and will not veto what the next Congress must do - which is set a course to balance the budget, repeal Obamacare, and cut spending to restore our credibility so that we will pay our debts without monetizing it.  And, of course, you refuse to recognize what I just said however, our national salvation depends upon it - including the wagon riders.

This writer and the morons who mouth the same old braindead slurs would never vote for Romney yet we are treated to a continuous stream of perfumed slants and strawman blog after strawman blog that DO serve a purpose in your world. And that purpose is to provide a platform for you to express displeasure, imply all manner of insult and invective . . . anything but defend the consequences of collectivism.  I'm just trying to reach out and explain why self-selecting elitism is such a vacant enterprise.  You are engaging in self-righteous masturbation.

What's clear to everyone else is that the the ones you think you speak for are not ideologues like you.  Your rank and file are mercenary and practical. In the big scheme of things Romney and Ryan, as flawed as they are, represent a solution to at least sustain the benefits.  They won't vote for Romney . . . they just won't vote in the numbers they did in 2008.  A sufficient chunk of your troops will remain on the couch.  All because you yammered when your leadership should have let the economic horses run.  You could have had Obamacare had you fixed the economy first.  Instead, you have women cheering a rapist who will be the keynote speaker at your convention.

You don't have any (recognized) idea what I'm talking about. But your rank and file do, for they know how the egg is laid. So . . .  You cannot be allowed to sit in your addiction and continue to deny why these Republicans and the TEA Party movement are on the national scene in the first place.   Mine is but an early intervention.   And help is on the way.

Let it not be a shock when the adults take over for awhile.  Just go get in the back seat with Grandma whilst Dad fixes the engine you so royally screwed up.

And don't touch anything!

All true - but will you also be publishing an equally scathing (and entertaining) expose on the Democrats?  

Richard Nixon.  Out of the many, many republican dirt-bags to come down the pike, Nixon was the one... number one.
