I swear to Goddess, if President Obama squanders this opportunity, and pulls yet another "I'm going to be nice to the republicans and then maybe they'll be nice to me too" stunt like last time, I'm going to lose whatever little I have left to lose!
Rumor has it he's considering a REPUBLICAN for Secretary of State when Hillary retires (hopefully to begin her run for 2016). If he thinks this is going to earn him any respect from the thugs, dullards and tealaban extremists in the GOP he is sorely mistaken. The first thing the effing tea-tards said on election night was just more of the same "our way or the highway" bullshit.
The GOP efforts to make voting nearly impossible for voters in the "swing states" were not just obviously desperate but also inhumane, given so many of the people they targeted were elderly people of color who had taken a measure of pride and pleasure in the tradition of going from church to their polling place. They went by bus to vote together in fellowship with the physical and emotional support of their friends. To intentionally take that small pleasure away from them and then to confuse them with ever changing laws and threats, then actual physical confrontation and intimidation at the polling place, was just despicable, but those voters faced up to it ALL, often after standing in line for hour after hour...many past midnight after standing in line all day long, just to vote. How many more votes would have gone to Obama if voting had not intentionally been made so intentionally confusing and difficult--nearly impossible--in areas known to have voted "D" in the past?
How many hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people had no choice but to go home to care for children or elderly parents, or return to work...you know that thing so many MORE people are doing now with OBAMA as President, despite the best effforts of republican politicians to keep employment numbers down prior to the election? How many were just plain physically unable to stay in line that long under those conditions? How many believed that they had to leave when told ILLEGALLY at their polling places that they had to and just didn't try again? In other words, how well did Karl Rove's tactics actually work? Clearly not well enough, but how many were successfully intimidated or confused?

And we can't forget Romney's efforts to purchase the companies that supply electronic voting machines in Ohio prior to the election (how'd that work for ya, Tagg, ol' buddy? Bet you really want to beat on the President now, boy, don't ya?). Then there are all the BILLIONS of dollars spent by all the anonymous donors, as well as those "respectable" Vegas casino types--the Shelly Addle-brains who you just know came by their money by completely honest means and have NO ties to the "unsavory Vegas underworld" even though that's exactly how they make ALL their money. Then there are they hard-working, self-made, honorable men, the Koch brothers, who INHERITED their fortunes, the good old fashioned way. But they're not "takers" like people who expect to get actual health care when they pay for health insurance! Heavens no! I've gotta hand it to Karl Rove though. In the end, by intent or not, he fleeced them all, anonymous and notorious alike, of hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars, with absolutely NO return on their investment, unless you count losing a couple seats in the Senate, when they thought they'd take OVER the Senate, and also losing several seats in the House, AND, horror of all horrors, ensuring a record number of FEMALE Senators and Representatives! To use a line from someone I think I used to know, I can honestly say that Karl Rove is Turd Blossom numero uno, my veddy favorite turd, in my personal shit parade!
...even though all that money of his ensured that I got so many robo-calls throughout the campaign that I just stopped answering my phone completely and checked my messages every once in a while. I have to reluctantly give the Koch bros SOME credit too. They did buy and then re-buy Wisconsin's Governor Scott Walker who successfully confused Wisconsin residents by NOT reinstating "Obama Care" and in doing so KILLED who knows how many people who COULD have received free cancer screenings. But since when has the death of American citizens mattered to republicans, especially the Tealaban, when there is politicking to be done? Walker refused to enact Obama Care so Wisconsinites had no idea for the most part what it's supposed to do other than cause the end of the world if they were FoxNoise viewers. *Sigh* I miss Keith Olbermann. Rachel is getting on my LAST nerve with her snarky ageism and constant ragging on gay issues. ENOUGH already! I mean seriously, my brother lost his LIFE in part over that issue, and even *I* have had enough!
Even the Koch brothers have limited powers though. Wisconsin stayed true blue for Obama! They were able to pay out enough to retain Paul Ryan's spot in the House so he can try to grasp on to what's left of his manhood and "honor" (as IF he ever had any even BEFORE allying himself with a flip flopping, lying VULTURE like Romney) by playing the obstruction game (again) with the budget process (AGAIN) as head of the budget committee. I almost hope he's stupid enough to try it, because that will assuredly lose the GOP even more seats in the 2014 mid-term election now that people are on to them!
Forgive the vulgarity here, but if I'm to be completely and totally honest, I really, REALLY hope the President's balls are not in his beloved wife's purse, because I would love to see Obama do a flying squirrel right on Paul Ryan's face. Put that on pay-per-view and the deficit would be GONE with a nice tidy surplus to spare!

Ubran Dictionary Definition of Flying Squirrel (provided so all may enjoy the visiual image evoked above)
1. flying squirrel 263 up, 103 down
Ohhhkay... I just got my ab workout for the day. The idea of a flying squirrel on that smug, smarmy, self-satisfied, smirk of his is just so............ Oh this is getting painful....but laughing feels SO good! I haven't relaxed in MONTHS!
Another note of humor about this whole thing, aside from the abject failure and waste of billions of dollars, which spells the defeat of "Citizens United" and victory for "WE THE PEOPLE" is that Karl Rove (aka Herr Rove, who has dual citizenship, aka the Big Boss of Cross Roads GPS-(the anonymous GOP Political Money Funneling Operation), aka the self-styled Machiavelli of the 20th AND 21st centuries, aka TURD BLOSSOM-W. Bush's pet name for his favorite advisor--read election fixer) has finally totally lost his effing mind! He is saying that President Obama won this election because of DEMOCRATIC efforts to suppress the vote! Hey pot, the kettle called and it wants its BLACK back! Is that rich or what?
I was so sure right wingers lived in Fantasy Fifties Land, but maybe it's just Forever Opposite Day for them, where truth is a lie, and vice versa. Women can't get pregnant by "real" rape, which is easily differentiated from "fake" rape, only lazy people are takers of government assistance, no one needs Social Security or Medicare, only zygotes and the occasional fetus require protecting and once they are born and breathe on their own they are on their own and we can all wash our hands of any responsibility for them, even if we require, by LAW that they be born, people born rich deserve to be and people born poor like being poor laborers and don't dream of anything better for themselves or their children, other than perhaps serving as cannon fodder for rich old mens' wars for profit, and absolutely no one dies from lack of health care. Hey, I think I'm on to something here... Our "Fantasy World" theory was all wrong! I must immediately report this to our Communist Commander, Doctor Ernesto "Che" Guevara (who never really died when our CIA set him up, ambushed and murdered him in cold blood for telling the truth about our involvement in Vietnam, and who was given a cyber penis implant with which he is to this day fathering commie children with Jane Fonda and a thousands strong harem of genetically enhanced super-women, one of whom is hiding President Obama's real birth certificate and college records in an "undisclosed location"). This obviously changes everything!
Seriously, the loss of the election and his own money and that of his donors has driven Rove over the edge. He says, "The Democrats suppressed the vote by making people not like Romney." Okay... He goes on to say we did that "...by bringing up Bain." He has forgotten it was Newt Gingrich, one of his own who originally brought that gem up, not us. So, while it is not attractive for me to get so much enjoyment out of Turd Blossom's despair, I have to admit I am enjoying it, and very much so.
I am enjoying Herr Rove's misery on behalf of every man, woman and child who was maimed and killed in the two attacks that happened on 9/11 that President Clinton's transition security staffers ran around "with their hair on fire" trying to warn "president Cheney" and W. Bush about. Unfortunately, the president and VP were too busy taking dictation on new energy policy from BIG OIL executives to bother with trifling matters like national security. In fact, Bush decided to take Clinton's security measures down a few notches and assigned his own black-sheep brother as head of security for the twin towers in NYC. That Bush clan really is big on nepotism...and some other -isms.
Besides, Bush was very close with Saudi royalty so surely we were safe. For the record, I find the rumors that he was gay friends with one of the princes just silly. In Saudi culture men hold hands and kiss on the lips, and homosexuality is not only not accepted, they deny its existence. In the rare (they say) instance someone is caught or reported in a compromised position, an investigation is done, bribes are paid, and if the family cannot pay, the ONLY "treatment" for it is death, usually by very public beheading...of the big head, just to be clear. Bush and Saudi Prince Bandar played with names and their families were SO close, he was called Bandar Bush, so obviously the Saudis posed no threat to U.S. security (paraphrasing Bush here) "It don't matter what them-there egg-heads at the FBI and all them other fellers a-tryin' to int'rupt us when we was meetin' with our friends making nucular pol'cy was all in such a lather 'bout...I'm prez-a-dentin' and they kin jes' wait! Hey! This fake accent thing is pretty easy once you ease into it a little bit. It's kind of like talking with beer and pretzels in your mouth at the same time after you've had a couple Xanax and a snort or two of coke. Speaking of which, hey Laura...where's your purse?"
And apparently Cheney had cause, several millions, perhaps billions, to agree "not to worry overmuch about security." And if the worst did happen, it would be a great excuse to make the neocons happy and invade Iraq and make some money for Cheney's friends at Halliburton who were still paying him a million bucks a year (on the books)...for doing what, one can only wonder...

Mmm hmm, I'm enjoying Turd Blossom's misery because I know it's shared by ALL the people who thought they'd be making BIG BUCKS on the next big war(s), be that in Iran or Syria or Libya--or HELL, maybe Romney, since he has universally been called "Bush on Steroids" had a little TRIFECTA of his own in mind! It worked for Dubya, didn't it?
So yes, for every military family who has lost a loved one, or cared for someone who came back "different" than they were before, mentally or physically, oh do I celebrate Karl Rove's misery! Words cannot begin to describe how much so! As I see it, without Rove, all their suffering would have never happened; two wars for nothing but profit would have never happened if Rove's twisted machinations had not turned an election into a selection by the United States Supreme Court in 2000, which installed G.W. Bush in our White House, and kept him there four years later by voter purges and hacked paperless voting machines like the ones Tagg Romney sold to the state his daddy thought was most vital to his efforts this time around--OHIO!
This isn't about hate, it's about some degree of justice and maybe a little bit of retribution for all the hundreds of thousands of people who are dead at the direct order of Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rove and a whole list of neocons and war profiteers too long to list here. More than that it's about sheer gratitude that it's not going to happen again. If Romney had found a way to steal this election I think, sick as I am, my heart would have just stopped in my chest and that would have been the end of it. "The disturbance in The Force" would have just been too much for me.
This beautiful child looks so much like my brother whose soul was murdered long before his body ceased to breathe. I miss you, Mark. I found this picture completely by accident, seeking a picture to decorate my "gratitude" paragraph. I am so grateful for the gift of your life, and the magic and music you brought. You were so much farther evolved than the shallow beings surrounding you. I feel your love around me every day, and I know you are in a far better place. I look forward to seeing you when my time comes. With utter love... Your sister, the Michelle who always loved you and would die rather than harm you. Never tease a weasel, or the weasel will teasel you. The death that was waiting around the corner had Romney been elected was so unthinkable I went sleepless--even more than is usual for me--for months prior to the election. The lives that would have been lost, of our own and of those in whatever nation(s) we invaded for profit, was unbearable, and would have required a reinstitution of the draft. Of course the rich would have been protected. They always are. And Mormons always have been, so as in so very, very, VERY many things, from the mundane to the esoteric, Romney would have had no grasp at all of the ramifications of what he was ordering done.
Talk about the right wing bubble... Romney World is a bubble within a bubble within a bubble. It's like a giant olympic bathtub-sized bubble within a bubble, stacking Russian dolls style...and the tiniest one on the very inside is Romney. That is how insular his existence is. I think he was actually relieved to be able to crawl back inside Romney world and not have to interact with all us creepy "real" people anymore.
I am also very happy for the planet, which would not have borne the onslaught of those of the Tealaban who are still clinging, vast climate change and documented and unprecedented accelerated melting of the polar icecaps that is turning New York back into New Amsterdam, to their denial of science. The atmosphere would have been little more than a black cloud of fossil fuels. Sure, the sunsets would be pretty, but no one would be breathing. And oh...the oceans...our life's waters...
Most of all I am celebrating something that, once learned, will not soon be unlearned:
When we the people get off our asses
and stand together,
no amount of money and corruption
can keep us down!

| I heard someone actually compared the choice in this election to God vs Satan, with Romney being God. What kind of WARPED MIND does a person have to have to look at that lying, smarmy, insincere face, and see GOD? Then again, look at the things people have done in the name of THAT God over time. Ugh...my nieces are being raised Catholic. Holy Pope on a golden toilet. Nothing like a nice Inquisition to convert the heathens to Jesus. No wonder He wept. |
NOW WE NEED THE PRESIDENT
TO DO SOMETHING WITH THE POWER
NO MORE COMPROMISES! REPUBLICANS DON'T SPEAK COMPROMISE WITH THIS PRESIDENT! IT'S TIME TO SHOW THEM THE ANGRY BLACK MAN THEY ARE ALL SO SHIT-THEIR-PANTIES AFRAID OF!
I lived with a bully for twelve years.
Standing up and showing NO WEAKNESS is the ONLY way to deal with bullies. To bullies compromise equates to weakness. We cannot afford it. It is the path to FAILURE! President Obama has a MANDATE FROM THE PEOPLE. WE HAVE SPOKEN!
He has ONE chance to set the tone for the next four years and he'd better do this righ...correctly!
IF HE HAS TO SHOVE THAT DOWN JOHN BOEHNER'S
and certainly MITCH McCONNELL'S VILE THROAT, SO BE IT!
LET THEM CHOKE ON IT UNTIL THEY TURN AS BLUE AS THIS TEXT!
...ewww, that's going to clash with Boehner's fake tan in a very bad way.
He has ONE chance to set the tone for the next four years and he'd better do this righ...correctly!
He's got nothing to lose, no next election to worry about, and the people are behind him by over fifty percent, which is huge for a second term prez in recent history.
BRING THE HAMMER DOWN ON THOSE TEA-BAGGING S.O.B's and BRING IT HARD. Donald Trump wants a revolution? Fine by me! Army training sticks--it's one thing I haven't forgotten. I'm DONE with these rich bastards thinking they run OUR country, and pissing on the people protecting them in the process! I don't think they have that many private contractors out there just yet...and I don't think all of them would fire on US anyway!
Money isn't everything to everyone...just republicans!
...and some people's ex's.
Money isn't everything to everyone...just republicans!
