WORLD FACES ECONOMIC COLLAPSE AND WAR WITH IRAN AS MEDIA AND GOVERNMENT WHISTLES AWAY

It has been a sad week for democracy. Set aside the idiocy seen non-stop on Fox News as they try to make Paul Ryan into less of an ass than he really is, the world is failing apart an no one seems to care. Not Democrats. Not Republicans. Not either of the worthless candidates running for President.Nobody. Except me. And as this site is not getting millions of hits per day as it should, apparently no one in America cares either. It's going to be one dark day when 99% of the world wakes up one day and realize it's all come to an end because they were too busy watching Snookie shovel salad into her face in the worst reality show of all times. The Soup yesterday showed a clip of the two "stars" of MTV's Jersey Shore spinoff sit around a table eating and doing nothing else. How is that fun to watch? Yet millions do, meaning they are just as brain dead as the idiots being filmed.

The news is bad folks. Real bad. Set aside an election where we have one side with no vision beyond bankrupting the US in record time and the other which has a few stop gaps to stop the slide but will only delay the inevitable. Let's start with a look at the Romney plan for the future. ??????????????  Did you get all that because my hands hurt from all that writing? Romney has NO plan for anything and both he and his retarded running mate keep telling the American people they will hash out specifics AFTER the get into office. Someone should tell these fools that this will only work on the zombified, die-hards who only vote for Republicans because the rest of us want to know what we are getting before we buy it. What specifics you have given suck by the way and won't work according to well, EVERYONE who is not a bought and paid for pundit.

The Ryan/Romney plan is a recipe for disaster which mirrors exactly what Europe is doing with no success. And this is the same group who doesn't want us to be like Europe because they see socialism as a bad thing, even though it is these ideals that have made their countries prosper better than ours. It is only through the on going bank frauds that are now worldwide that is the reason why everything is going to hell, along with brutal, ineffective austerity measures that the GOP want in full. A vote for any Republican is vote to end America. So anyone who plans on voting Republican come November is asking for trouble and an almost certain civil war. The left is getting pissed as seen by the first left wing lunatic who attempted a mass shooting as the Family Research Council shooting but was stopped by a guard before anyone was seriously hurt. I don't wish hot death upon these bigoted assholes but a nice case of turning their first borns all gay wouldn't hurt, should God be reading my blog.

Meanwhile,the JustUs Department has dropped all charges against former MF Global head Jon Corizone and top executives finding no evidence of a crime meaning Eric Holder has gone blind at some point recently and no one bothered to tell anyone. WTF? This is further proof the US government is owned by the big banks and now can murder someone with impunity because no one is going to prosecute them for anything regardless of the crime. This is a travesty and one thing I agree with the Republicans with is that Eric Holder has GOT to go. And take with him Janet Napalitano who is in the midst of a sexual harassment suit and further outs her as a butch lesbian. Shocker. I honestly could care less about her sexuality but the way she runs the American Gestapo is beyond belief. Add to that the recent huge orders for even more ammo, albeit the amounts were blacked out this time from FOIA papers, and we can see the government is preparing for something big and they are not telling us what.

Banks are being told to prepare for a massive blow, Israel is warning the world that an attack against Iran could happen within six weeks and all the media can crow about is Joe Biden's highly accurate statement that the banks want to put us all in chains. This is not hyperbole. The banks want to put us all into slavery and the Tea Party is leading the charge to put us there. This is not a controversy, except one the media is creating. Media is not there to shape the narrative but to report it. This type of reporting is long dead, killed by outlets like Fox News which has done exactly that for decades now. There are some reports that Biden may get dumped for Hillary Clinton for VP, a move that would cement the election for democrats so don't be surprised if it does happen just like I said.

Fox Five is a sham show where four brain dead conservatives beat up the sole liberal who is too fat and old to actually matter. All four said that Paul Ryan's Medicare plan was fabulous and would save it, even though. as someone who once sold insurance can tell you, their plan will bankrupt the system quickly. Bob Becker responded with truly weak arguments that showed he had even less of a clue than the four morons he was sitting with. Every time one of the losers opens their mouth, I can come up with five points to make that defeats them and Bob just sits there, mouth open, dreaming of the day he can get away from this sad show. This is a terrible program that shoves misinformation down the throats of the American people who lap it up like a cat with a bowl of milk.

Our national debt is constantly referred to as $16 trillion. That is a lie. It is actually around $70 trillion. WTF? Using Hollywood math has become the default position of every company out there and is how I was cheated out of hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years by companies who do this to pay commission in sales jobs across the US. The government has conveniently left out SS, Medicare, and pension liabilities that they are legally obligated to pay, raising the number beyond belief. When the country left the gold standard in 1971, debt exploded as money could be invented out of thin air rather than have the money to back up what we were spending. As much of that gold probably doesn't exist anymore, having been used to pay off our crushing debt, rapid inflation is a distinct possibility in the near future.

We have kept off the collapse by borrowing from other countries like China and Japan but this Ponzi scheme can only go on so long. With Middle Class jobs disappearing forever, we are entering an era of abject poverty where the haves will live in walled off prisons while the rest of us starve outside the gates. The only way to stop this from happening is to either print trillions of dollars causing a repeat of the Wiemar Republic or to cancel all debt, causing a collapse of the dollar. Don't both those options sound great? The third option is one no wants to talk about as it might work. Tell the Fed we are not paying them and half of that $16 trillion disappears. Use means testing to shore up SS and Medicare as well as removing the salary cap on payroll and SS taxes and voila, a huge chunk of change saves many a program. True the rich will have to cough up their fair share which is why this plan will never see the light of day. Anybody with a pension is going to have give that up as there is no way we can afford to do that anymore and you can thank the greedy rich for that, so a percentage of their paychecks should be taken every week to help pay for that as well.

None of this will occur because it will be political suicide, especially in the day and age of the Super PAC, which would trounce any candidate daring to take on the elite who would paint that person as a dangerous rebel out of touch with Idiot America. As collapse is inevitable at this point, people should be taking steps should society end.

Add to this a World War which looks more and more likely by the day, and we are really screwed. Israel is itching to take down Iran who may have a nuke by as early as October. This is not a guess but a fact as the Iranian government, as well as outside sources, have confirmed uranium enrichment to 20%. Further enrichment to 90% will take a matter of weeks meaning Iran could have enough material for four to five nukes by sometime in October. Israel is adamant that this not happen and have told the US that they will go alone if they have to. They have said they have a plan to win a war with Iran in thirty days which is probably not entirely untrue, however the plan doesn't mention the fact that the world may be burned to a nuclear crisp by then. Russia has made it perfectly clear than an attack on Iran may lead to world wide nuclear war. Wonderful. Even so, Iran cannot be allowed to get a nuke as a world war is inevitable at that point when some religious fanatic decides to use one on Tel Aviv or NYC.

So between a terrible presidential race where anyone with a brain is going to have to hold their nose and vote Obama as the alternative is too depressing to contemplate, we have an upcoming economic collapse and a possible world war with nukes in the wings. Get yourself a drink people. It's going to be a long few weeks.

THE CAMPAIGN: BITING SHARP SATIRE AT ITS BEST

Satire, specifically political satire, doesn't get done anymore and when some try they fail miserably. Winners like Wag the Dog, Bullworth, Bob Roberts, and Team America nailed the grotesqueness of the political arena while lesser films like Swing Vote. War Inc. and Mars Attacks were a big swing and a miss. Enter Will Farrell's latest comedy The Campaign, a dead on look at modern day politics that simply attacks EVERYONE. Republicans, Democrats, the media and most importantly, voters, are skewered mercilessly in a non stop orgy of laugh out loud humor.

Farrell plays four time House congressman Cam Brady, a caricature of every awful Democrat ever: horny, media savvy and clueless. He's about to run unopposed in his district when the Koch brothers, oops I mean the Motch brothers (Dan Ackroyd and John Lithgow), decide they can't control him anymore and run an effeminate but good natured local, Marty Huggins (Zach Galifianakis) as his GOP opponent. The end result is two candidates, one already destroyed by politics and the other slowly being devoured by it as well, in a brutal death match that is part hysterical comedy and part blueprint for everything wrong with this country.

Cam punches babies and dogs. Huggins struggles with his good nature as his devilish campaign manager, played perfectly by Dylan McDermott, drags him kicking and screaming into the below the belt nature of modern day politics. Along the way, we see pitch perfect depictions of the media molding the narrative for their own designs, of voters deciding who to vote for for the worst reasons possible, and a political race defined by big money and no ideas. Sound familiar?

The ads they run against one another are barely above what real candidates are actually running at this point. One fake ad compares Huggins to terrorists like Al Queda as both support mustaches. Michelle Bachman, along with five other brain dead Tea Party Congressman, have recently done just that to members of Congress and Hillary Clinton's staff with the same level of proof. Add to that a screenplay that has the gaul to include real facts about the state of the nation, the horror, and laughs can quickly turn to outrage as you realize you are indeed crying for both the movie being very funny and absolutely accurate in what it has to say. That is what films should be doing and rarely do anymore.

As expected, those on the right are seeing this film as an attack on them, which it is, but it also hits everyone else along the well, democrat, republican, the elites and idiot America all at the same time. The worthless rag, the NY Post, a newspaper so foul it shouldn't even be used to train puppies, ran a review from resident douchebag Kyle Smith, who makes AO Scott look like a Pulitzer Prize winner. In his blatantly partisan review he said he was shocked, SHOCKED, by the awful portrayal of the true American heroes, the Koch Brothers. he really said that in his review seen here:

http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/movies/no_saving_this_dimocracy_G0n8EMafOq9s4671VU2fCJ

I recommend anyone who actually like films to contact the NY Post and tell them in no uncertain  terms that as long as they hire people like this who have NO business reviewing films that until he is gone, you will not advertise, you will not buy their rag, you will not tell anyone anything good about them until he is gone. Kyle Smith is a true asshole and I now live to see the day when I read in some better newspaper that some irate citizen threw hot soup into his eyes. I am sick to death of this kind of reviews from people being paid to watch films and not have a single reason why they should actually be doing this. There are too many people doing a job they shouldn't so as the rest of us starve to death on minimum wage, it's sickening to see some ass get his job because his daddy's runs the business or had a lot of money due to rich relatives. And yes Paul Ryan I am looking at you, you heartless bastards. More on his history and chances tomorrow. Hint: he's screwed.

This is one of the best movies of the year and a must see for all party affiliations as it tells you the absolute truth about what is really going on in politics today and in return, we get to laugh our asses off almost nonstop for the whole film. Go see it today.

5 stars out of 5

THE RYAN VP PICK, CNN, NBC, THE TEA PARTY AND OTHER SIGNS STUPIDITY MAY BE CONTAGIOUS


The level of people doing the most idiotic things imaginable was front and center this week with the pick of Paul Ryan as Romney's VP candidate leading the charge. First off, the timing was terrible. Announcing on Saturday was every bit the boondoggle I thought it would be with nobody paying any attention at all until the following day when the Sunday morning shows sought to portray Ryan as a man determined to throw grandma under the bus. The polls on Monday show a definitive dislike for the man outside the GOP supporters and has actually caused Romney's numbers to fall even further than they already were.

USA today's poll show that 42% of people don't like him versus 38% who do. Only Dan Quayle scored a lower rating when he was first announced. That's right, Sarah Palin scored higher and we all know how that turned out. He also only garnered 48% of the voters who say he is qualified to be president, with only Sarah Palin and Dan Quayle scoring lower. This means that more people liked Palin than thought she was capable of being President. Unbelievable.

Florida had the word "Medicare" on every newspaper headline in the state when talking about the Ryan VP pick. In a state where Hispanics were already not going to vote Republican, they have just given the other side the elderly vote as well. Some fools out there may vote for Ryan but those that do risk their Medicare and their lives so good luck with that. Anyone with a grandparent or parent out there who is on Medicare and planning on voting for Romney should be sat down and talked to as to why that is the most self destructive thing they could do. If they want to die early, vote Republican. The GOP is hell bent on privatization of everything from the post office to Social Security to Medicare. Is this really what the American people want? I kind of  doubt it.

The Ryan pick is sure to hurt him in Florida which is almost certainly why Ryan is NOT accompanying Romney to the state today and is going to Iowa instead. Florida is going to be a tough sell and any true Tea Party activist out there should be outraged that Ryan is the pick. Why you ask? Because the Tea Party was original started as a referendum against things like bank bailouts and TARP both of which Ryan voted for. He also voted for the auto bailouts, Medicare cuts, a national ID program, making the Patriot Act permanent, unwarranted surveillance, No Child Left Behind, staying in war zones like Iraq forever, and the 2008 and 2009 stimulus. Aren't these all the things you assholes keep screaming about to the democrats for supporting you hypocritical fuckwads?

This is why I loathe the Tea Party, whose original function I agreed with, until big business hijacked you and turned you all into good little Nazis that protest whatever you are told to. Ryan is everything you are supposed to hate, but instead of being a true third party, you are nothing more than the lunatic wing of the Republicans now. This will bite you in the ass come November as many are worried about a landslide loss and possible defeat in the both the House and Senate. If you wanted to give the democrats the biggest Christmas gift ever, this was it and the poll numbers are going to start sliding fast as more and more people learn to hate the Ryan Budget plan. The race is lost short of a miracle.

Not to be outdone by the Teatards, NBC and CNN have both lost their minds. The Closing Ceremonies were held yesterday and NBC, in their infinite wisdom, cut away from the end of the show, deleting no name acts like Muse, The Kinks and some band called The Who, so they could show Dr. House Veterinarian (Animal Hospital). I actually really liked the show but feel it will be be held responsible for NBC's idiotic decision to air the sitcom rather than the end of the Olympics. Apparently they aired the rest of the ceremony later, but that is little help to those of us who DVRed it or went to bed because some of us have jobs to go to on Monday. The show is NOT going to get any good will in a move that echoed NBC cutting away from a football game to show Heidi back in the 70's. People were pissed and any ratings boost they could have hoped from such a move blew up big time right in their face.

CNN is no better. In the face of plummeting ratings, instead of, oh I don't know, reporting the news, they have decided to go the other route and air less news. Instead they will be airing reality programs and talk shows, otherwise known as MSNBC. Do you people know why I watch Fox News? It isn't because they are a hyper partisan Republican propaganda machine. It's because, political content aside, they actually report the news, and in a lot of cases, do an admirable job at it. Any political story on the network needs to be ignored but if there is a problem in the Middle East, a hurricane off the East Coast or a diplomatic row in China, they report it. Meanwhile CNN has some idiot pontificating on the Snoop Dogg name change (I kid you not that actually happened with some idiot reporter chasing people down the street asking them if they heard the news) or MSNBC's umpteenth showing of To Catch A Predator. I watch news channels to get news, not talking heads. The message boards show that is EXACTLY what people don't want. Why is it so hard for people to actually do their fucking jobs anymore?

Lastly we have Google, who since taking over You Tube, have turned into Big Brother and removing content for the flimsiest of reasons. Regular readers know my disdain for Google, after the removed ads from my site for actually having the gaul to ask people to click on them. Nevermind the fact that everyone from Facebook TO FUCKING GOOGLE do it all the time. Many a person on their blogspot blogs (like this one unfortunately. I haven't had the time to seek an alternate site) have left due to their fascist bullshit. Google can eat me.

Lately, people like Alex Jones and Joe Rogan have had their videos taken off line after some company claims ownership of a person's voice. As both Rogan and Jones have videos of themselves through third party affiliates, Google has claimed these companies have the rights to their VOICES. I am not a copyright. I am a human being. Even after clearing this nonsense up, both have had similar trouble still. Now while Alex Jones makes some outrageous claims, some of them are true and Google has no right to infringe on free speech and no company owns the voice of another. And Joe Rogan is just funny. Really funny actually. You'd never guess looking at him who bright he really is.

So stupidity is rampant right now. Watch any show about people running a business into the ground or anyone asking the regular public the easiest questions like "who is our current VP?" and realize how clueless a majority of this country is. November will be a referendum on stupidity with only the dumbest of the dumb voting Republican. Will that stupid person be you? If you are reading this now and nodding in agreement with everything I have written, I doubt it. Don't let others make the same mistake and get the word out that voting for the GOP is akin to voting for Hitler because the outcome will be the same: a clueless dictator determined to kill off the old, the infirm, the young and minorities. Is that really the America you want to live in? You still can. It's called Europe. The funny part is that the same reason Republicans are telling people not to vote democrat. The reality is, the GOP is following the European model to a T. So if a full blown Depression is what you want vote Romney and any GOP crony come fall. It's your funeral. Unfortunately, it's also the funeral for the rest of us as well.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: THE MITT ROMNEY/PAUL RYAN TICKET

Wells Fargo killed a little girl and they still couldn't top Mitt Romney for a third straight week. Let's see those runner ups.

1)Artificial butter- A new study this week shows a supposed link between diseases like Alzheimer's and eating buttered popcorn doused in fake butter, specifically the chemical diacetyl. This can hardly be a surprise as fake anything is always worse for you than the real thing. But fake butter is way cheaper than the real stuff and they already charge the price of a new car for a bucket of popcorn so imagine what the costs will be for a replacement. I rarely eat the stuff anyway but I can't tell you how many luxury sized boxes I see people stuff their faces with every week.

2)Syria- Bashir Assad continues to reign death upon his people despite the fact that all the rats are leaving the sinking ship. The Prime Minister defected to Turkey this week, probably realizing that Syria's days are numbered and he would rather be in a comfortable sea side resort rather than dead on the side of the road of spending the rest of his life behind bars. This would be like Obama fleeing to France if a civil war started which is not a positive sign for the government and a big boost for the rebels. Unfortunately, the rebels are getting pounded because of low ammo supplies while trying to protect the city of Alleppo. The world is worried about who will take over for Assad as the results in most places are the Muslim Brotherhood taking power, although not in Libya for some reason. Speaking of which.....

3)Egypt- Here we have a country that is the prime reason why aid to Syria is not more forthcoming. After the Muslim Brotherhood gained control of the country in the last election, the end results have been sketchy. A false flag operation, most likely initiated by Egypt itself, has taken place on its border of the Sinai desert where twice in the past week Egyptian soldiers have been attacked by Islamic rebels. The Egyptians have moved forces there to protect against further attacks for the first time since the end of the last war with Israel in 1973. This could be an excuse to put forces on the border for explainable reasons and then use that reason to launch a surprise attack on Israel if needed. President Morsi has used this attack to get rid of many top officials and gain control of the military in a questionable grab for power. This has all the hallmarks of a false flag operation so for all you conspiracy theorists out there, THIS is what a false flag operation entails, not random shooting of innocent people in a movie theater or Sikh temple. False flags have a definitive agenda that are realized immediately, not years later. Egypt is going to be watched closely.

4)Iran- The world is finally coming to the realization that Iran may not be able to be contained and that an attack on the facilities and probable infrastructure may be imminent. Israel is sounding the alarm loud and clear that they won't wait much longer as their very existence is at stake, which it is. If Iran gets a bomb there is a near 100% chance that at some point in the near future Tel Aviv will disappear in a giant mushroom cloud and then WW3 is front and center. We can kill a billion now or 6.5 billion later. Which of those sounds better? An attack on Iran now does not guarantee a nuclear war but if we wait until they do get a nuke program humming, the numbers rise to close to 100% for the end of the world. Israel and US experts have finally taken their heads out of their ass and have publicly said they believe Iran has a secret nuke program, in a complete reversal from an earlier assessment that said the exact opposite for some inane reason. Iran wants nukes and will do anything to get them. If we let them, the world ends.


5)TSA and Janet Napolitano- A study came out this week that said a huge majority of people like the job the TSA is doing. I didn't know we had so many people in this country who were retarded. Who likes getting fondled to get on a plane? Have we become such sheep that we will tolerate any indignity to get from point a to point b? The TSA was being investigated at Logan airport for racial profiling this week, an issue I have less of a problem with then the rape at the gate issue. If pale Irishmen were bombing planes out of the sky, I'd be the first to stand in that long line at security and spread my cheeks happily for the body cavity search. But they aren't so the other side should man up and realize that your brethren are the ones making life difficult for you not the TSA and the rest of us can be left alone already.


Janet Napolitano is being sued in a brutal sexual discrimination suit against her and some of her top cronies, all women. That's progress for you where men aren't the only pigs at work any more. She is being accused of turning the DHS into a female frat house where sex talk is the norm and if you aren't a women, don't expect a raise or a promotion. James Hayes Jr, a top DHS official in New York claims Queen Janet filled top positions with two women associates who then went hell crazy on male staffers. The suit identifies Dora Schriro, who runs the NYC Dept. Of Corrections and Suzanne Barr, chief of staff for US Immigration and Customs. Soon after being hired, male employees were treated very badly. Barr moved three offices into the men's room, stole a Blackberry to send sexual messages to female staffers and would demand sex from male employees. After Hayes reported the problems to the EEO, Napolitano launched a series of misconduct investigations against him and repeatedly denied him for promotions he was much more qualified for than the females who got the job instead. There are rumors that despite having no experience, Schriro got the job because she and Napolitano are lovers. Having seen Queen Janet, that would not surprise me in the least. I hate this woman.

6)Allen West- This Uncle Tom from Florida got blasted this week in a hysterical political ad that showed a cartoon version of him punching old women and stealing money from black families. West cried foul and racism to which the NAACP said bullocks. The ad shows nothing that he isn't actually doing like beating up old women with his draconian polices or stealing from black families with his give it all to rich people approach. That's funny.

7)Voters- Everyone is all excited for the Romney/Ryan ticket which is going to break this country into a million pieces. Yet there are a crowd of morons happily cheering their own destruction. Our school system sucks.


8)Bank of America-Seems private investors aren't the only leaving the troubled bank. Brockton, MA recently announced it was removing it's fund of $170 million from BoA and depositing it in a local bank instead saving themselves $30,000 in the process. This is nothing new. Buffalo told JP Morgan/Chase to take a hike and moved $45 million from their accounts. Hempstead, NY withdrew $12 million from JP Morgan as well and churches moved $3.1 million from BoA and Wells Fargo, a bank that just narrowly missed being douchebag of the week.


9)Wells Fargo- In another blistering lawsuit, a former employee is alleging to being fired because his daughter needed expensive cancer treatment. Without health insurance she died less than a year later. Further it appears that Wells Fargo never send him the legally required info on how to keep his insurance through COBRA. Let this be a lesson to all you out there bitching about Obamacare: the current system will kill your children, your parents and eventually, you. The reasons for him being fired appear to be solely manufactured, another reason for all you brain dead morons out there who say unions suck. If he had been in a union, he would still have his job, his health care and his daughter's life. Please defend that line of reasoning that unions are awful because, other than the same egresses that we all agree unions need to give up on, like defending people who have been fired for cause and yet the unions fight to keep them or retirement pay that is completely unsustainable, unions save our wages, our livelihood and even the lives of our chilldren. These right to work laws need to end.

Wells Fargo also arrested a protester for terrorism and attempted bank robbery. This is from From the Trenches.com:

 David C. Gorczynski, 22, was charged on Tuesday with attempted bank robbery and terroristic threatening, both felonies, as well as one misdemeanor charge of disorderly conduct. Police detained him after he walked into an Easton, PA Wells Fargo branch with a sign that read “You’re being robbed” and another that said “Give a man a gun, he can rob a bank. Give a man a bank, and he can rob a country.

True, walking into any bank with that sign is not the brightest idea, but considering the political nature of the sign, this seems like an overreaction. Expect this to get thrown out of court quietly in the upcoming weeks.

10)Mitt Romney/Paul Ryan- This is best case scenario for anyone NOT wanting the GOP to win anything come November. All this pick does is solidify your base and alienate everyone else in the process, ala Sarah Palin for VP four years ago. When McCain picked her, he lost. Mitt Romney has done the exact same thing. The reason being is the awful Paul Ryan budget plan that Romney is running on as the Romney Plan for America now. The only problem with this plan is that the more people hear about it, the more they hate it. So let's take a look as to what this plan entails:

1)$5 trillion in cuts over the next ten years mostly to cuts to social net programs like SS, unemployment, welfare, Medicade, Medicare and food stamps.

2)Medicare recipients would be given vouchers for private insurance which won't take the sickest ones, driving prices up across the board as younger healthier seniors get private programs while the government is forced with only the sickest. This will destroy the Medicare plan and literally kill millions of the elderly. That is a true Death Panel.

3)Food stamps and Medicade would be given in block grants to the states, severally limiting the amount of people these funds could cover driving many in poverty or the grave. Again, millions will die under this plan and starvation will reach record levels.

4)Health care reform by eliminating Obamacare and replacing it with something that is very vague and will certainly cost more from the few details given. With subsidies slashed and the issue of fraud being reintroduced, this part of the plan will again kill millions and cost billions more with the end of any reasonable health care system.

5)Tax reform by lowering corporate and high income individuals taxes substantially while raising taxes for the poor and middle class. He has said that the plan would eliminate some unnamed loopholes and deductions, but there isn't enough of them in the tax code for his math to work. The only way to do what he wants is raise taxes on those that can worst afford it.

6)Defense spending will rise by hundreds of millions of dollars as spending cuts to the rest of us take hold.

Does anybody who has read the above agree with any of it? If you do you could quite possibly be the stupidest person on the face of this earth. The GOP has told you their plans to take every last dollar from you to give to rich donors and some of you are applauding at that. The good news is the more people that hear about the above, the less likely they are to vote for them. So email this column to everyone you know so they can actually see what they are voting for. If you want the country to end, by all means vote Republican but expect a HUGE number of dead people in the upcoming years, dead family, dead friends, dead you. So congratulations Mitt Romney, you dick, you are indeed douchebag of the week.

PAUL RYAN PICKED FOR VP SPOT. DEMOCRATS WIN BIG IN NOVEMBER.


There was a tremendous roar from both the ultra-conservatives and the democrats today when Paul Ryan was inexplicably picked as Mitt Romney's running mate today. Tea Party morons and far right conservatives see this as the best choice that will give them the White House, the Senate and the House in November. Democrats, independents and those living in the world of reality see this as the death knell of the Republican party. Guess which one I know is right?

The GOP is on life support right now, especially for the Presidency. Romney's numbers suck, his popularity is in the toilet and, in pandering to the far right in the same way the John McCain did with his right wing popular pick of Sarah Palin, has ended any chance of winning in November. Why? The highly unpopular Paul Ryan budget plan is an albatross around their neck and they seem incapable of noticing a dead bird  hanging there.

Let's look at all the reasons this is terrible pick for the GOP. First, this choice does nothing to add support to his campaign beyond the people who were already going to vote for him. Other than the beyond worthless Rasmussen polls, Obama is ahead by at least seven points in every major poll. The Rasmussen poll is either a fluke (unlikely) or the polling method is flawed (very likely) as statistically there is no reasonable explanation how they can be so off from the rest of the pack with every other poll. Ryan was eviscerated when he released this plan two years ago and supporters were harassed in town hall meetings by die hard Republicans who hated the plan.

The Ryan Plan, for those who don't remember, plans on giving huge sums of money to the rich by taking every last social net available from the poor like severe Social Security, Medicare and Medicade cuts. They also want to end the post office, several important cabinet departments like energy and education, and give even more money to defense. Is this really the country the Tea Party wants, a dystopia run by Ayn Rand fanatics? Polls show that independents, the elderly, the young and pretty much anyone not brain dead is against this and putting a lightening rod on your ticket is going to get you electrocuted on a daily basis.

Even the timing of this pick is questionable as it was done on a Saturday morning opposite the Olympics, the morning box office receipts for how well the new Bourne movie did (something which is much more popular than you would guess for all would be media moguls like myself) and NASCAR but who watches that right? Hold on, I'm being told everyone watches NASCAR especially your core constituents. So way to bury your message on a slow news day when no one is paying attention. Does he think we will forget all about this be Monday?

Romney's polls show a real problem as he trails by seven points nationally and in key states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. Speaking of Florida, Romney may have just given that to Obama. Recent polls taken before his VP debacle show Romney's popularity below Castro with Florida Hispanics. Add to that a groundswell of angry old people who HATE the Paul Ryan plan and Florida is slipping away from the GOP. All reliable polls have Obama up two to seven points in the state and this pick will not help shore up any new voters and will actually chase away new ones.

There were a lot of picks Romney could have made that would have helped his ticket. Marco Rubio may have helped shore up the state of Florida and win over some Hispanic votes. Ron Paul would have attracted younger voters and independents. Even Tim Pawlenty, bland as he is, would have better than this. Paul Ryan is an anchor, ala Palin, that will not aid the GOP one iota.

Romney is still facing a huge unlikeablity factor in which a majority of this country just doesn't like him. A recent poll said 63% want him to release his taxes, which he of course is refusing to do, making this story continue unabated. Worse, polling suggests that since a majority of people also hate the Paul Ryan Budget plan, Obama's lead doubles in some states with Ryan on the ticket. DOUBLES! How did Romney's inner circle not see that? Like the reverse of Obamacare, when the Ryan plan is explained to people, they loathe it. How well do you think that is going to play in the age of Super PACS? The ads are going to be brutal and chances are not only is the presidency lost but the house and senate as well. Democrats are doing a jig as Romney just handed him the greatest birthday gift of all times.

So what groups may not vote for Romney now: independents, unmarried women, the elderly, the young, minorities and anyone not basically a white male. Good luck winning with that strategy. For an in depth look at why this is a bad idea, here's a link to site that explain in great detail why:
http://www.democracycorps.com/National-Surveys/serious-attack-on-ryan-budget-takes-toll-on-mitt-romney/. Incidentally, that statistical way the info was gathered is sound as focus groups were used rather than just telephone calls, which bend statistical info toward conservative voters.

Here's the best part: the Ryan budget plan doesn't work. Every major economist worth his salt say it will add trillions of dollars to our deficit while ripping away safety nets from the most vulnerable, a fact that most Americans do not want. Yes, the democrats have been a terrible group of exploiting their opponents weakness but this comes gift wrapped all on its own.

So congratulations to the democrats out there who I predicted months ago would win the presidency again. Nothing I have seen lately makes me think otherwise. With Paul Ryan now on the ticket maybe they can get the House back as well and do some real good for the country with the obstructionist GOP out of the way.

POLITICAL ADS RUN AMOK AS REPUBLICANS SEE RACE FOR WHITE HOUSE FADE INTO THE DISTANCE


Much has been made about various attack ads that are now flooding the media thanks to the idiotic Citizen's United Supreme Court Ruling which ironically had nothing to do with the citizens or unity. Romney is getting brutalized by a somewhat misleading ad from an Obama Super PAC in which a man comments on how his wife died after Bain Capital fired him and he lost his insurance for him and his family. She became sick sometime later with cancer and, without health insurance, she died quick.

It is being debated over how she lost her insurance and when but the Obama administration has wisely turned this around to show why health care is needed outside of the stupid employment principle. If we had universal health care for all, she might still be alive today, primarily because with regular doctor visits, the cancer may not have spread so far. Fox news and the GOP seems to have forgotten about that because in their endless need to demean the president, they have in turn given him a powerful weapon. Way to go, dudes.

In turn, the Romney camp has released an ad of their own, not from a Super PAC but from Romney himself, that baselessly claims Obama is trying to change welfare work requirements. There is zero evidence of this, a claim that even Newt Gingrich has called false. The fact that Romney put out this worthless ad says a lot about his character as someone who will stoop to any level to win, which Mitt Romney epitomizes. This ad is blatantly false.

Opponents of a new attack ad against Allen "Uncle Tom" West, who defines the very word of race traitor, released a somewhat controversial. In the highly accurate ad ( here is the link to see it. Watch it. I'll wait. http://www.theblaze.com/stories/too-far-new-attack-ad-targeting-allen-west-depicts-him-beating-women/), West is portrayed as a bully beating up old white women, young women and steal from a young black family, which is EXACTLY what kind of policies this assmunch believes in. A Teatard to the bone, the fucknut is one of the worst politicians in Congress and any dope voting for him should really go home and shoot themselves for being such a dumbass. This ad is great because, unlike the two Presidential ads, this one is dead on. West is a waste of space on this planet and someone better beat him in the next election. For some inane reason there are no polls right now to say how well West is doing, but considering how stupid some people are, I could definitely see him winning still.

What is wrong with people in this country? Study after study show that poor white men share the same "beliefs" as rich white guys. How is that possible? The GOP brainwashes people in this anti-gay, anti-abortion rhetoric that means less than nothing with putting food on families tables. Add in a sprinkle of anti-immigration nonsense, a hint of gun control, and a dash of barely disguised racism and you have a GOP souffle. The secret ingredient is Soylent Green coming to a supermarket soon.

The bad news for all these closeted homophobic, racist retards is that most of the country don't believe in any of this crap. Independents now make up the majority of the electorate and a lot of them aren't waving that Tea Party flag and drinking the GOP Kool Aid. How do I know? The latest polls show Obama cruising to a crushing win over Romney whose popularity is plummeting faster than a comic reunion of Pauly Shore, Melanie Hussell and Yahoo Serious. Eight of ten swing states all point toward Obama with only Colorado and North Carolina a close race. Obama leads by six in Florida and Ohio according to the latest polls, which is game over for Romney as he cannot lose either of those key states let alone both.

True, Romney may make some points up when he makes his VP pick soon. Rumor is it is down between Portsman, Pawlenty and Ryan. The first two are so dull I actually nodded off while typing in their names. The latter, Paul Ryan, has made himself a lightening rod with his draconian Ryan Budget Plan that seeks to give huge sums of money to rich people by throwing everyone else out on the street. Republicans seem to have forgotten the town hall meetings that went dramatically off kilter when their own supporters absolutely HATED the plan and many were forced to disavow it which led to an almost comical civil war within the GOP. Much like Obamacare in reverse, the more people found out about the plan, the more they loathed it. Everyone on the Republican side seem to want people like Ryan, blinded by their own idiocy how bad a pick that would be. The Ryan plan is going to be front and center soon, as it will be brought up again and again in ads and during the debates. Why give the democrats even more ammo if you actually pick Ryan to be on the ballot? The ads will have a lot more weight if you try to sell this turd for a third time to the American people.

Obama has this election to lose and short of some unbelievable scandal, he will be again our president. While this hardly fills my heart with glee considering some of the truly awful things he has done to this country, I'd rather have the devil I know. If the wrong person gets into the white house at the point and time, this country is lost and so is any semblance of freedom. A country completely controlled by the GOP is a recipe for disaster. American better wake up and see that for what it is because by not voting for things that affect you, you are voting for things that WILL affect you.
