Meanwhile, Lindsay woke up today to find her bank accounts frozen and seized for the $200,000 she owes in back taxes. Not even the $100,000 Charlie Sheen loaned her helped as she owed double the amount and now, hot on the heels of her most recent arrests and failed TV movie about Liz Taylor, comes this latest dust up. So not only is she almost certainly going back to jail for the fifth time, she's broke too. She should be calling Mike Tyson to ask him advice on how he cleaned up is image. She has been uncharacteristically silent about the whole thing, usually posting some nonsense on her Twitter account. Lindsay is in a downward spiral. So is the Republican party.
Failing to see the writing on the wall, House Republicans are digging in the heels against raising any taxes on the rich, preferring to enact horrific austerity cuts to the poor and middle class, because in their minds, that's why things are so bad and not the fact that corporations and the rich are stealing everything from us.
GOP Rep.Tom Cole called the most recent White House budget proposal a Santa Claus wish list and then had the audacity to say that the Republican party has no need to present a counter proposal. WTF? So the democrats and the American public should just guess what you assholes want because you don't want the inevitable backlash that will arise from your "certain to anger people" plan. The odd part is that the proposal given by Obama is much more balanced and fair than the ones you douches rejected last time and, much like the Palestinians of 1999, are NEVER going to get a deal like that again. You lost and lost big in the last election and, for some insane reason, are failing to see the writing on the wall that we do not WANT what you are proposing. First off, the cuts you want to enact are the same failed policies of Europe that has led them to a crushing Depression. If we can see that these cuts do not work, yet you are still pushing for them, maybe being the guys responsible for passing these bills is not your finest career choice, May I suggest crayon drawer, train counter or some equally inane job you are probably not qualified for.
Scott DesJarlais, who has been mentioned many times on this site for his hypocritical bullshit, has struck again, saying "God" has forgiven him for his past which includes cheating on his wife a gazillion times, getting abortions for his wife of the time, twice, as well at least one mistress, all the while claiming to be the anti-abortion, pro-family candidate. Please. Morons in Tennessee voted this man back in again this year, meaning only Florida at this point has a worse voting record and even they got rid of King Moron, Allen West. Unfortunately for DesJarlais, this may be his last time at bat.
Most of the PAC's that supported him last time, like Unum and Blue Cross, have said they will not be contributing any more money to his campaign along with at least a dozen others. His rabid base has also begun to show signs of weakening as his poll numbers have plummeted after more revelations about his abhorrent behavior came out after election day, particularly the abortions his wife had at his insistence, seriously damaging his pro-life credibility. Opponents are already lining up to take him out in the 2014 election, including members of his own party. This is a guy who should never have be re-elected and anyone out there who actually voted for this idiot should take a long walk off a short pier.
The GOP has no interest in governing any more and has demonstrated a complete lack of ethics when it comes to fixing the financial mess they got us in. And before someone starts bitching about how Congress was controlled by the democrats under Obama for two years and got nothing done, let's get some facts into that. Actually, he only had control for a year, as the special election that gave us Scott Brown ended the super majority and the previous year was held up by infighting within the party from right leaning Congressmen like Ben Nelson and Joe Lieberman. One thing the democrats are much worse at than the GOP is unity and that year showed it. Nelson was unhappy with budget concerns and Lieberman helped kill the single payer plan. Thanks douches for all your help. Luckily, neither will be in Congress much longer.
I am glad we have people like Warren and others who are not willing to back down from core beliefs. It's not compromise when you force it down others throats. W had complete control of everything and look how that turned out. With the Republicans filibustering everything, I support rule changes that will end this nonsense and return us back to majority rule even if it means the Republicans get back in control, which at this stage if the game, is about the same chances of me winning the Boston Marathon.
The GOP is doomed if they keep this crap up and polls suggest they will get the brunt of the blame for any of the shenanigans they are trying to pull. Not presenting a counter proposal is idiotic and short sighted. We all know why you won't do it as the Democrats will use it to hammer you in the next election. The alternative is to let everything fall apart and then you get the blame. Either way, you lose and the GOP starts to look more and more like the Know Nothing party more and more. Welcome to extinction. Say hi to the dinosaurs while you're there.
