Trump Don't Care, Republicans finally get their Deathpanels

Laura Nazigraham is being touted as the next Trump Press Secretary
The Rich Plutocrat is looking forward to defending the
Trump Don't Care Death Panel Bill.

The 13 Republican Senators just unveiled their bill.  And it is a giant Death Panel.  The Republican Party had been yearning for years to eliminate the Social Safety net and this bill gets them closer to that goal; with the ultimate goal being the impoverishment and enslavement of the American People.

The Republican Party has moved closer to their grand plan of freeing the Plutocracy from all taxes, regulations, controls, and laws while the 99% are denied any chance at the American Dream.

The AHCA is a massive tax cut and transfer of wealth to the Plutocracy wrapped up in the tattered remnants of the Social Safety Net.  Of course, many Trump voters will be denied healthcare, will die from treatable conditions, will suffer but the comfortable will be comforted and the afflicted will be afflicted.

Lawyers, Guns, and Money have correctly identified the governing principles of the modern Republican Party:

1) More money for Us
2) Fuck You

The only sticking point for the Republicans, right now, is bill doesn't go far enough and completely eliminate the meager assistance given to the poor, the sick, the tired.  However, the Republican Party did take a major step towards the elimination of Medicaid, which is a joint Federal/State government funded healthcare system funded by the U.S. Government and managed by States.  The Trump/Republican Don't Care bill allows States free reign over the money which means those Federal dollars won't be going for medical care for poor, disabled, and elderly but, will be neatly transferred into the Cayman off-shore bank accounts of the Rich in Sam Brownbackian fashion.

It does not matter the Trump Don't Care bill is massively unpopular.  The Republican Party has correctly identified there are no such things as future elections.  There is only the now.  There is no need for them to fear future repercussions because come next election cycle, a mere 1 year from now, the Republican bureaucrats in Congress will gin up another cache of false flag pseudo-controversies to dupe their deluded drones and vicious bigots; who will then dutifully return them to Congress to wreak more destruction.  Now, combined with the Republican Party openly aligning with a foreign government the long sought after dream of the Republicans is within reach.

Their dream, is not the American Dream, but a dream of a Neo-Feudalist Nation, wherein 99% of Americans are shackled in the "gig-economy" of Wage Slavery, stuck in Corporate bondage with no recourse through the courts, with no assistance from the U.S. government, with unequal protection from Law Enforcement, which is wholly owned by Billionaires, and ruthlessly operated by the Guard Dogs of the Plutocracy; The Republican Party.

Mark Kirk and Bruce Rauner are against Medicaid Expansion because Poor People deserve to Die not get Better

While the Republicans in the US House continue to remain demonstrably evil, on April Fools Day Paul Ryan released the latest Republican Path to Poverty, I've nonetheless, retained hope that at other levels Republicans would at least not actively embrace evil. Unfortunately, I continue to be disappointed.

With the enrollment end for the Affordable Care Act Illinois Senator Mark Kirk and Republican Nominee for Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner took to their plush armchairs to decry medicaid. Because as Rich Privileged White Men they understand that Healthcare Coverage is not to be wasted on Poor People.

Of course, I expect such viewpoints from the likes of Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor and Darrel Issa. They are in office to ensure that Poor People are ground down and crushed under the heel of Corporate Hegemony.

But, Mark Kirk?

Senator Mark Kirk, suffered a catastrophic stroke, which left him paralyzed and unable to walk for over a year and whose entire medical care, millions of dollars worth including intensive physical therapy, was covered by the American Taxpayer.

Then Congressman Kirk ran on this slogan in 2010, "I’m Mark Kirk and I can’t wait to vote against the health care bill next week." Senator Kirk wouldn't be alive, let alone in Office, if it wasn't for taxpayer supported Government run Healthcare Coverage.

Bruce Rauner is a Billionaire, so of course he doesn't have to worry about medical care. Of course, part of Rauner's immense wealth was stolen from sick and elderly Americans, who were subjected to Nursing Home Abuse at Rauner's negligent behest. Rauner's Wealth Management firms routinely purchased Nursing Homes, then slashed their budgets, reduced staff, loaded them with debt and underfunded the Homes in order to extract maximum wealth with a minimum outlay of expense. The Elderly residents who suffered and died as a result? Well, they were just collateral damage of Rauner's Vulture Capitalism.

Vulture Rauner is among the 300 Richest people in the United States. He claims, anecdotally of course, Medicaid is replete with fraudulent sign ups and questioned the timing of expanding eligibility at a time of financial instability in state government.

For a Vulture like Rauner government, when it is helping the Poor and Downtrodden is always in a time financial instability.

The Republican Healthcare Alternative remains; Don't Get Sick but, If You Do Die Quickly and If You Were Wealthy, You'd Be Healthy. But If You're Poor, There's the Door.

Wisconsin Republicans, a subsidiary of Koch Industries, are ready for Business

One of the key components of the Reactionary shift in American Politics has been the push by Republicans, from "business supporting" to servile kow-towing lackeys of the 1%, who deceitfully utilize their public office to ensure private business is supported on the backs of the Working Class.

In Wisconsin, the election of Governor Scott Walker was just the cherry on top of the Neo-Feudalist Republican push to crush the regular Wisconsinite and transfer land, property and money to the Rich.

The Koch Brothers consider the State of Wisconsin their Feudal Domains. Scott Walker is their paid lackey, ready and willing to enforce the will of the Koch Brothers at every turn. But, they aren't satisfied with merely controlling Walker. Americans for Prosperity, the Koch Brothers think-tank propaganda arm, is spending millions in order to control the local government of Iron County in Northern Wisconsin.

The Koch Brothers see the natural resources of the American People as theirs, to do with as they wish and the ramifications be damned.

If the Koch Brothers succeed in Iron County a mining operation under Gogebic Taconite will devastate Northern Wisconsin. But, who cares because the 1% will make a boat load of cash while the effects of their putrid mining operation won't affect them or theirs!

The Koch Brothers support the Republican Party because once Republicans are in office they use the Awesome Power of Government to enact blatantly unfair laws because Businesses, like Koch Industries no longer succeed in America by innovation or efficiency, but by ensuring public tax dollars are transferred to them, public domains are seceded to their control and by getting governments to undercut labor at every turn.

Last December, Wisconsin Business representatives demanded special tax incentives and tax-payer funded corporate welfare from Lt Governor Rebecca Kleefisch.

The meeting of Public Office holders was closed to the media. This meeting was recorded by the Lt Governor's office but, her office declared the unknown number of Scott Walker specially directed "Tax Reform Roundtables" since last December were not be recorded so Business Reps could "speak freely" i.e. demand the Scott Walker administration give transfer the tax dollars of Wisconsin citizens to them.

Two weeks ago, a bill in the Wisconsin Legislature which would have required health insurance providers cover chemotherapy drugs equally was blocked by state Senate Majority Leader Republican Scott Fitzgerald.

The bill would have eliminated the cost difference between Chemo pills and intravenous drugs, Health "Insurers" opposed the bill and coincidentally, Scott Fitzgerald's brother is a lobbyist for the Health Insurance Industry.

Now, despite the bill having enough support to pass, two weeks ago, Fitzgerald called a special committee to prevent any vote.

Much like, Mitt Romney's infamous things only discussed behind closed doors, Corporate America has spent decades secretly meeting with their operatives the wholly owned Republican Party and Pro-Business Democratic members in order to use the power of government to undercut Labor and enforce a stratified society in which the vast majority of American workers are shackled forever in the chains of Corporate Bondage.

Undying War Criminal Dick Cheney says If You Were Wealthy You'd Be Healthy

If you're Poor there's the Door.

Dick Cheney is both the best and worst example of what Socialized Government Healthcare can do for people. Without the access to U.S. Socialized Medical care for his flabby, large-waisted chicken hawk ass, Cheney would have been uninsurable due to his repeated heart attacks and dead. 

As an undying war criminal Cheney is back to emitting his noisome neocon rhetoric into the Right-Wing Echo Chamber where it'll be sucked up and lovingly regurgitated by right-wing nut jobs.

"The same people that brought us ‘you can keep your insurance if you want’ are telling us they’ve got a great deal in Iran with respect to their nuclear program. I don’t believe it." - Dick Cheney

Of course, Dick Cheney doesn't like Obama's Masterful Diplomatic Manuevers with Iran, he wants War. Because Cheney's made massive profits off of wars which other Americans will fight in and suffer from but which will never place Cheney or his family in danger.

Why exactly is Dick Cheney who loafed around for 40 years in Government, but not in the military because of his 5 Vietnam War Deferments, a font of reputable knowledge? Even his vaunted private sector work experience was merely the selling of high-level access to Government contacts and the negotiating of government backed contracts. Dick Cheney is an unqualified lazy socialist bum who has lived his whole life getting paid to "work" with the Federal Government.

Of course, the You can keep it "controversey" is another right-wing nothing-burger. Similar to the You didn't build it bs the Republicans tried to gin-up with the help of the epistemic closure of the conservative thought-process.

Meanwhile, in multiple US States under the tyrannical control of Reactionary Republican Governors or Legislatures, millions of Americans are being denied coverage under Obamacare because Right-Wing Fascists refused to set up exchanges or accept the Medicaid expansion.

The Republican Health Care Plan continues to be If You are Poor and get Sick --- Die Quickly.

Of course, just passively undermining Obamacare isn't good enough for the Ultra-Reactionary American Right in their quest to oppress and subjugate the 99%.

From The BradBlog, we learn that in California Republicans sent out mailers funded by taxpayer money which directed Californians to a anti-Obamacare fake site;

Rather than the official CoveredCA.com website, the new mailers direct the recipient to CoveringHealthCareCA.com, a bogus Republican site which, though attempting to appear to be the official CA health care exchange site, doesn't actually provide the ability to shop for or purchase policies. 

"Though it launched in August," ABC News reports, "the site made waves this week after a number of GOP Assembly members sent out mailers to their constituents, highlighting the page as a 'resource guide' for information on the Affordable Care Act." 

The deceptive, publicly funded mailers sent by the self-described "fiscal conservatives" cost CA taxpayers $77,496, according to the Star's public records request. The money, they report, came from the state Assembly's "taxpayer-funded operating budget." 

Since the fraud was exposed, the LA Times reports, the GOP site has added some links to the official CA health care site. The original site, according to Karoli at Crooks and Liars who helped expose the scam, included "links to negative articles and twisted messages intended to sour people on signing up for health insurance before they ever land at the official health exchange site."

Obamacare Follies and the Republican Playbook

The Obamacare role out was a flub, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Why the administration didn't include a PPACA kiosk in every Social Security Administration office and field banks of 24-hour phone operators throughout the Nation is a mystery to me.

What should not come as a surprise to anyone the least bit familiar with the GOP is the disingenuous despicable evil sabotage and subterfuge Eric Cantor and his party were planning because the Republicans had a playbook designed to sow discontent and anger at the PPACA.

These are the same people who decried fluoridation of water as a "commie plot". These are the same people who originated Truther Movements in the 1940's by claiming FDR knew the Japanese were on the way to bomb Pearl Harbor. These are the same people who distributed JFK: Wanted for Treason fliers in Texas just prior to his assassination.

Republicans hate the Poor, hate Government and hate everything and anything which takes away from their ability to oppress and harm Working Class Americans.

This is what we're faced with; an intransigent Party which will never argue in good faith, will never propose any government based solution, and will do everything in their considerable power to harm the Nation in service to their Moneyed Masters.

So, once the Republican Government Shutdown ended and the Obamacare Website snafus became the focus; our Elite Media reporters, bloggers and newspaper opinion pages dutifully covered Republican drones all repeating the same message from their disingenuous propaganda 'Obamacare failure... Obamacare failure... Obamacare failure... Num Num Num...' and focused on Poor Little Rich Girl sob stories about the troubles the Rich and "Low Affluent" are having with the PPACA, instead of Republican Sabotage or pointing out that Republicans have No Alternative, except if You are Poor Die Quickly."We've got to a point, where money is so powerful a force in politics and in the media that attention is paid, mostly, to people who are wealthy; upper middle class, that define what the politicians are looking at and concerned about and what the media are covering. I wish that were not the case but, in fact, as a political reality that is the case." - Robert Reich on Moyers & Company, 09/20/13

Dylan Ratigan, a multi-millionaire with a 30,000 square-foot hydroponic farm called "Archi's Acres" bemoaned that his catastrophic insurance coverage was going up $4000-a-year. Dylan is rich enough to not need regular healthcare coverage because he can just pay out of pocket. Why can't those poor moochers do the same???

Lori Gottlieb, "Obamacare or Kafkacare?" Unless you've become a Giant Dung Beetle, Lori, this is a lame comparison. But, do go on Lori and "Dare to Complain about Obamacare"

“The nation has been better off,” wrote one friend. “Over 33 million people who did not have insurance are now going to get it.” That’s all fine and good for “the nation,” but what about my $5,400 rate hike (after-tax dollars, I wanted to add, but dared not in this group of previously closeted Mother Teresas)? Another friend wrote, “Yes, I’m paying an extra 200 a month, but I’m okay with doing that so that others who need it can have health care.”

But, what about ME??????? Lori Gottlieb, in 2000, pouted when Six-Figures adds up to Zero, that when she reached an undisclosed six-figure salary in her late 20's and moved to Silicon Valley she was hurt and frustrated because she realized she wasn't wealthy and "could see the wealth all around me -- wealth that I most certainly didn't have." Won't someone please think of the poor put upon Rich Woman?

John Boehner, a chain-smoking, full on progressed cirrhosis individual staged a Obamacare Sign-up stunt which backfired upon him,

As it turns out, his willingness to “keep trying” was a good idea. Boehner, who is not yet eligible for Medicare, “called the DC Health Link help line,” and a “few hours later,” the process was complete. He’d signed up for health insurance.

Nicole L. Hopkins mother, to her shame can now receive medicaid through Obamacare, since she was "Unable to secure employer-sponsored health care," and had to settle for "$276 a month for bare-bones catastrophic coverage."

"How has it come to this?" she asked in one of our several talks over the past few weeks about what was happening. When she was a working mother and I was young, she easily carried health insurance for our whole family. "How have I fallen this far?"

How has it come to this? Because to Republicans if You're not Wealthy You don't get to be Healthy. 

Health care costs are 17-18% of GDP and rising. 20 years ago when costs were 10-12% people in the Medical Profession were alarmed. The proper time to act passed long ago, because while (((America))) is a Center-Left Nation there is a hard nut of Ultra-Reactionaries to whom no Republican is ever conservative enough. To these rabid fanatics Grover Norquist and Mitch McConnell are "squishes" who believe in policies of appeasement.

All of the firebaggers blaming President Obama for not getting Single-Payer, a proven system which has worked in multiple Nations and was recently adopted in the State of Vermont, seem to ignore the fact that a motivated and despicable section of our Nation would never approve and was directly responsible for Single-Payers doom. The United States was never going to get a National Healthcare System, ala Canada or Europe because powerful forces don't want it.

Power and Money concede nothing.

Update:
A reason Republicans loathe Obamacare is because it undermines their key 35 year running Talking Point, i.e. the Ronnie Reagan "Government is the problem," lie.

From The Impolitic, Why Mitch McConnell really hates Obamacare

Meanwhile, it will be too late for McConnell either way. He's led the vanguard against health care for his own constituents, so the newly covered rubes who once believed the lies won't vote for him now and the angry cons who won't ever sign up because, Dimmocrats invented it, won't vote for him because he signed off on a compromise or two. He's pretty well screwed.

Government isn't the problem, Republicans in Government is the Problem.

Let's keep this a secret from the U.S. corporate media, but, as Sy Mukherjee and Andrew Breiner note at ThinkProgress...

On Wednesday, the new head of the White House Council of Economic Advisers released a bombshell report finding that U.S. health care spending since 2010 has increased by just 1.3 percent - the smallest cost growth over a three-year period in American history - while prices in the health care sector rose by 50-year lows, thanks in part to structural changes made by the Affordable Care Act. But most media outlets ignored that story, instead choosing to focus on ongoing glitches with the Healthcare.gov website.

Excellent Republican alternatives to Obamacare

The Republican Alternative to Obamacare

The Republicans have two different approaches for you, the Average American, to try instead

of Obamacare.

First, you should Understand: If You Were Wealthy, You'd Be Healthy.
Second, if you're Poor: Don't Get Sick but if You do, Die Quickly.

Mitt Romney summed up the Republican view on healthcare for the Poor, Working Class and Middle Class;

"And so my job is not to worry about those people- I'll never convince them to take personal responsibility and care for their lives."

If you've got no money you are on your own honey. The Republicans have a message to you America; Their Government will never help you. Because they get too much money from the Koch Brothers and the Plutocracy to purposefully hurt and oppress the Working Class.

The Koch Brothers are spending millions of dollars in various states to sabotage Obamacare because it;s good business for them to make sure 40 million Americans are held without coverage and 250 million others are left worried about losing their jobs and healthcare coverage or getting a catastrophic injury which drains their entire life savings. Meanwhile, the Koch Brothers through their Corporate Colossus are poised to reap $100 Billion from the Keystone XL pipeline. If you were rich like the virtuous Koch Brothers you wouldn't have to worry about needing subsidies for healthcare because you got sick from drinking the water supply poisoned by oil spills.

By now, most of the on-line community has read Eric Stern's piece at Salon where he fact-checked the 6 people paraded out for Sean Hannity's Obamacare Horror Stories. Surprise! It turned out Hannity's "reporting" was totally false but, Faux News had no problem trotting out their bullshit in order to advance the interests of the Rich and to harm poor people.

"Do you hate Obamacare more than you love your country?"

Thomas Roberts of MSNBC poised this salient question to Republican Marsha Blackburn. Not only does Blackburn and the Right hate Obamacare more than they love their country; they hate President Obama more than anything in the universe.

Larry Kudlow had a discussion panel where his chyron read Free Market solutions to Healthcare coverage. But, we've seen Free Market solutions applied to Healthcare; no coverage for pre-existing conditions, maximum expenditures, bureaucratic overheard siphoning money away from patients and their care to administrators, denying coverage by swamping people with them with paperwork and endless denials, and bankruptcy from catastrophic illness and injury; all designed to limit the amount of healthcare services provided to people while extracting as much money from them as possible.

Kudlow, along with Reince Priebus, Fucker Carlson, Mike Huckabee, Hannity and various other right-wingers have done an exceptional job of conflating the failures of Healthcare.gov website with the actual ideas of the ACA (i.e. Obamacare).

And why not? What's one more lie from conservatives? The souls of people who would let just someone die because they don't have insurance can't get any blacker.

Hillary Clinton's and Mark Kirk's Health

Senator Mark Kirk is back in DC for the 113th Congress. A year long arduous journey has brought him from the brink of death back to the US Senate.

Having spent a year undergoing intense physical therapy to relearn to walk and speech therapy to relearn speech after his brain was severely damaged I wonder if Kirk feels at all bad about his anti-Obamacare vote.

Kirk ran on this slogan in 2010, “I’m Mark Kirk and I can’t wait to vote against the health care bill next week.”

Probably not. Doctrinal Republicans never feel sorry for their I Got Mine-ism. Had Senator Kirk been a working man, a teacher, or an enlisted Veteran he'd have been bankrupted and probably forced to choose to discontinue therapy before competition if he had even had a Healthcare coverage plan which didn't seek to fire him for missing a year of work.

Of course, Senator Kirk committed a similar infraction to the one which resulted in Jesse Jackson Jr. expulsion from Congress, in that Senator Kirk used his campaign to funnel money to his then girlfriend, Dodie McCracken.

The girlfriend, Dodie McCracken, who works in public relations, has acknowledged receiving more than $143,000 in fees and expenses for her campaign work. A former live-in girlfriend, she is no longer romantically involved with Kirk, according to a campaign aide.

At the heart of the matter is Vertolli's assertion that the Kirk campaign may have improperly hidden money to McCracken by paying her through another company working for the campaign. Because the money was not paid directly to McCracken, her name does not appear in Kirk's federal disclosures. 

But, Faux News doesn't ever have to cover anything, like Senator Kirk's health vis-a-vis his stance on National Healthcare or his financial improprieties, which will cause their mouth-breathing constituents to pause and reflect. IOKIYAR.

On the other hand, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has continued to be vilified and ridiculed for her Health problems. Because after all she's a Democrat, a Woman and a Clinton.

Merely having one of those qualities makes acceptable fodder for Right-Wing assassination fantasies.

Laura Ingraham laughingly declared Secretary of State Clinton's concussion was the "Immaculate Concussion"! See that's funny!!!

Even after the discovery of a life-threatening blood clot John Bolton, Charles Krauthammer, Jonah Goldberg, Glenn Reynolds and other Right-Wing scum merchants doubled down and increased their despicable month long smears about Hillary Clinton.

Toxic Conservative commentators know the truth. They can spout off their heinous theories and it feeds and enflames their audience instead of alienating them. Despicable conservative liars will, of course, claim 'Both Sides Do It!' and that's bullshit.

No one was claiming Dick Cheney's multiple heart attacks were too avoid testifying to the 9/11 Commission (Remember that whole 9/11 thing?) or the Iraq War WMD lies. Yes, Comedians joked that Dick Cheney's stole the hearts from the breasts of children to extend his despicable war criminal life but, major networks didn't bring on guest after guest (including high-ranking former Federal Government employees) to laugh and jibe about a potentially life-threatening medical condition.

If the Right didn't have False Equivalencies they'd have no Equivalence at all.

Faux News can never silence the Right-Wing extremists who espouse Clinton Conspiracy Theories because that is their audience.

The only Americans who continue to adhere to Right-Wing Ideology are bigots, sexists, religious fanatics and the Rich.

Conservatism is Terrorism.

Obamacare, Fast & Furious, Immigration, The DREAM Act and Impeachment

Are not what the Republicans and right-wingers told you they are...

“Well, we’ve had our brief moment of celebration, because the Supreme Court ruled that Obamacare is, in fact, unconstitutional. It’s what many of us argued all along," begins Republican Richard Mourdock in ObamaCare3: Revenge of Barack the Jedi.

Obamacare survived it's encounter with the Supreme Court with John Roberts voting for it's Constitutionality. Roberts ruled that the Healthcare Mandate is a tax,

"If an individual does not maintain health insurance, the only consequence is that he must make an additional payment to the IRS when he pays his taxes," Roberts wrote. He adds that this means "the mandate is not a legal command to buy insurance. Rather, it makes going without insurance just another thing the government taxes."

So, now that everyone in America has to pay a Healthcare coverage "tax" perhaps the GOP will stop repeating their bullshit lie that 45% or 47& or 49% pay no taxes whatsoever!1!11! Oh who am I kidding with out their constant stream of bullshit lies Republicans would only be left with their rank racism.

However, upholding Obamacare is what many Republicans wanted because now they get to run on how evil it is and how imperative it is Americans elect Republicans to repeal Obamacare. As Richard Mourdock said in Obamacare 2: The Republicans Strike Back,

"Well, the Supreme Court has done what none of us really thought could happen. They’ve ruled Obamacare constitutional. Now, the fight has moved from the courts to the United States Congress. You can be sure starting January of 2013, if Republicans control the House and the Senate, we will be voting to repeal Obamacare once and for all."

Of course, just like their Jobs, Jobs, Jobs refrain from 2010, this is a thin sheen designed to dupe Americans into voting Republicans into office. Once Republicans are elected they'll simply ignore the lies they told to win office and set upon their true agenda of obliterating the middle class and subjugating the American people to Corporate Bondage.

Besides, the ACA victory the other big news made yesterday was Fortune magazine journalists telling Americans the actual truth about Fast & Furious instead of stenographing the out-right shameless lies of Conservatives.

Quite simply, there's a fundamental misconception at the heart of the Fast and Furious scandal. Nobody disputes that suspected straw purchasers under surveillance by the ATF repeatedly bought guns that eventually fell into criminal hands. Issa and others charge that the ATF intentionally allowed guns to walk as an operational tactic. But five law-enforcement agents directly involved in Fast and Furious tell Fortune that the ATF had no such tactic. They insist they never purposefully allowed guns to be illegally trafficked. Just the opposite: They say they seized weapons whenever they could but were hamstrung by prosecutors and weak laws, which stymied them at every turn.

Indeed, a six-month Fortune investigation reveals that the public case alleging that Voth and his colleagues walked guns is replete with distortions, errors, partial truths, and even some outright lies. Fortune reviewed more than 2,000 pages of confidential ATF documents and interviewed 39 people, including seven law-enforcement agents with direct knowledge of the case. Several, including Voth, are speaking out for the first time.

Now the problem, of course, is this does not fit the preconceived conclusions every conservative reached when they first saw President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder. So, thankfully because they have the Alternate Conservative Reality to retreat to, they need not concern themself with the truth but have millions of other ignorant bigots to confirm they are Right!

Ah, and then there is always Illegal Immigration! As their lies about the fake Fast & Furious scandal unravel the Republicans always simply retreat to their other card, Racism.

The right-wingers have been proclaiming President Obama's failure to secure the border an impeachable offense for years. Now, that would be the Southern Border because that's where the illegal immigrants come from...

But, President Obama declared the United States Government would no longer be forcibly arresting and evicting children who through no criminal act of their own happened to be born of illegal immigrants.

Well, that ticked off the Republicans,

"Now if it’s bad enough and if shenanigans involved in it, then of course impeachment is always a possibility." - Senator John Kyl of Arizona,

Kyl has been in Congress since 1987 and as with all worthless Republicans he "inherited" his position from his daddy. Kyl was born in 1942 any guesses what he did in the 1960's? Why he was a lawyer and lobbyist who never served a day in the military.

Of course, Senator Kyl is simply a scumbag liar when it comes to Immigration reform because his Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 provided for a path to citizenship and thus most conservatives blasted it as an "Amnesty Bill" rewarding illegals "crimes".

But, the true goal of the bill was to create a revolving but permanent underclass of worker who could be hired legally and proudly by American companies, but who would receive no benefits and be easily replaceable when they earned their citizenship.

And, of course, Kyl's 2007 bill contained the DREAM Act. Which Senator Kyl supported until the dastardly Barack Obama declared this month he would stop deporting young illegal immigrants who match the criteria previously proposed under the DREAM ACT.

Because, once President Obama stepped into the White House, Republicans made the conscious and vocal declaration that they would undermine the country in every way possible if it meant keeping him a one-term President.

In 2010 Kyl made up this quote and relayed to an Arizona Tea Party gathering President Obama had told him during an private meeting in the White House,

"If we secure the border, then you all won’t have any reason to support comprehensive immigration reform”.

"The president didn't say that," Bill Burton said of Kyl's account. "Senator Kyl knows the president didn't say that."

But, what can you expect from Senator John Kyl? Everything he says is for effect and as his staff admitted in 2011 are "not intended to be a factual statement."

So, Senator Kyl by thy own petard shall you be hoisted, with all the immigration "shenanigans involved" you and your whole Party of Punk Ass Bitches needs to be impeached.

Mitt Romney tells Jay Leno If you were Wealthy, you'd be Healthy [updated]

Update:
Via Crooks and Liars here is video of Mitt Romney recalling "one of the most humorous" things he could remember was when his Elitist father fired American auto workers.

Oh, Mitt! Like Father, Like Son!

With the recent revelation that Mitt Romney's garage will have an elevator for his cars, The Vulture swooped down to make an appearance on the Jay Leno Tonight Show (Leno famously loves and collects cars.)

But, it wouldn't be a Mitt Romney appearance with out the Out-of-Touch Quarter Billionaire taking a chance to reveal just how disconnected he is from 99.9% of Americans.

Vulture Mitt has the smooth misunderstanding of Health Insurance that comes from being born a child of privilege and riches never having to worry if he or his family members got sick, injured, had their job outsourced by Bain Capital, lost their coverage or had their foot run over by one of the many illegals mowing Mitt Romney's palatial estate.

“It seems to me like children and people with preexisting conditions should be covered,” Leno noted.

“People with preexisting conditions — as long as they’ve been insured before, they’re going to continue to have insurance,” Romney explained.

“Suppose they were never insured?” Leno asked.

“Well, if they’re 45 years old, and they show up, and they say, I want insurance, because I’ve got a heart disease, it’s like, `Hey guys, we can’t play the game like that. You’ve got to get insurance when you’re well, and if you get ill, then you’re going to be covered,’” Romney replied.

“I know guys that work in the auto industry and they’re just not covered because they work in brake dust,” Leno pressed. “And then they get to be 30, 35, and were never able to get insurance before. Now they have it. That seems like a good thing.”

It is a good thing. Which is why Mitt and the Republican Party can't stand it. Republicans do not want the government doing "good things" because then people we see that government can in fact be a positive force. But, not to Mitt. If you don't have heath insurance and want it now? Too bad we Rich people play "a game" with your life.

Additionally, Paul Ryan re-released his Path to Penury, which guarantees to take 4 Trillion from the poor, sick and old and give it to the 1%.

The Republican Party is wholly invested in returning the United States to the Gilded Age and the Obscene Wealth concentration in the hands of the 1%.

Because, to conservatives the rise of individualism and the emancipation of minorities, women, homosexuals and all those oppressed by the Right-Wingers represents the Destruction of America.

What Obamacare actually represents, flawed as it is, is potential liberation from control by the 1%, the ability to have reasonably affordable care without being bankrupted or being denied coverage because you had a pre-existing heart condition and don't have the illicit war profiteer wealth to buy a new one like Dick Cheney.

Republican War on Women enters the States Rights Lie Back and Enjoy It Phase

Just Close Your Eyes and
Think of Pennsylvania

"Just relax and enjoy it," - Texass Republican Clayton Williams

The Oppressive Totalitarian Right-Wing Crypto-Fascist War on Women gets worse everyday. We are now moving into the phase were the Right-Wingers will drill down into every level of society and government to advance their agenda of control and subjugation of sex and women.

Pennsylvania Republican Governor Tom Corbett echoed Clayton Williams when asked about a mandatory Bob McDonnell Memorial Rape Wand Law he requested be passed for all Keystone State Sluts, "I don’t know how you make anybody watch. You just have to close your eyes."

Defeating the Roy Blunt Amendment didn't end the issue as multiple Republican controlled states moved to advance bills in their State Legislatures accomplishing the same goal.

Arizona, that seething cauldron of bigotry and evil, rushed forward a bill allowing Business owners to interrogate Women about their Sex lives.

Arizona House Bill 2625, authored by Majority Whip Debbie Lesko, R-Glendale, would permit employers to ask their employees for proof of medical prescription if they seek contraceptives for non-reproductive purposes, such as hormone control or acne treatment.

Lesko had the gall to claim,

“I believe we live in America. We don’t live in the  Soviet Union. So, government should not be telling the organizations or mom and pop employers to do something against their moral beliefs.”

First, Represenative Lesko, go Transvaginal Ultrasound Yourself! Second, anytime a Crypto-Fascist Republican uses a phrase like "I believe we live in America..." they are about to pass an incredibly destructive law designed to aid the 1% in their goal of destroying and oppressing millions of Americans. Lastly, despicable Arizona Republicans just empowered your boss to interrogate you on your off-hours activities to make sure you aren't doing something they find objectionable, like having sexy sex.

Besides Arizona, according to Talking Points Memo, New Hampshire, Idaho and Georgia have taken up bills to expand exemptions for contraception coverage. Ohio, Missouri, New Hampshire, Idaho and Wyoming lawmakers are moving symbolic resolutions condemning the administration’s contraception coverage rule.

Remember how Right-Wingers "claimed" the denial of Birth Control was based on Religious Liberty?

Too bad for conservatives that Darrell Issa and the Republicans are so stupid they named their SLUT Hunting committee the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on the contraception mandate instead of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on religious freedom. Oops...

Well, either it was a case of self-delusion or conservatives are shameless liars. Right-Wingers want to tell you what you can and can not do. Because they get off on controlling you.

From Carolyn Jones at the Texas Observer, comes the story of a woman forced to endure additional agony because a bunch of Right-Wing misoygnistic bureaucrats know that Rape Wands, a 24-hour waiting period and Doctors telling women lies about the after-effects of abortions will shame, degrade, humiliate and stop women from getting abortions.

Halfway through my pregnancy, I learned that my baby was ill. Profoundly so. My doctor gave us the news kindly, but still, my husband and I weren’t prepared. Just a few minutes earlier, we’d been smiling giddily at fellow expectant parents as we waited for the doctor to see us. In a sonography room smelling faintly of lemongrass, I’d just had gel rubbed on my stomach, just seen blots on the screen become tiny hands. For a brief, exultant moment, we’d seen our son—a brother for our 2-year-old girl.

Instead, before I’d even known I was pregnant, a molecular flaw had determined that our son’s brain, spine and legs wouldn’t develop correctly. If he were to make it to term—something our doctor couldn’t guarantee—he’d need a lifetime of medical care. From the moment he was born, my doctor told us, our son would suffer greatly.

This entire Right-Wing Assault on Women is a kick to the Uterus. And they aren't going to stop.

Especially not when you have Faux News willing to stoop so low as to claim all any American woman needs is a simple $9-a-day Birth Control from Wal-Mart lie. Which every Right-Wing blog and full of shit conservative picks up and repeats ad nauseum on every site and news story they can.

Why is it a lie? Conservatives always talk in giant sweeping generalities because when their inhuman policies are applied to actual American people in real world situations they fall apart. Hardly any woman at all can simply use the cheap junk grade pharmaceutical crap that Wal-Mart or Target peddles. This isn't like picking up some generic aspirin. But, why the fuck do conservatives who are supposed to be about choice in the marketplace demanding women only get access to one type of birth control, anyway?

Because this entire issue is one of control and oppression. Because Conservative thought builds these grand edifices on a foundation of shit and lies. When you actually apply Right-Wing theories to human situations they crumble and people get hurt. But, Republicans don't care because they don't represent 99% of the American People. Republicans represent 1% and that 1% only cares about oppressing the 99% to make Money.

It's just gross what the Right-Wing is doing.

Wham! Bam! Thank you Ma'am!

Conservatives will never be truthful when it comes to advancing their agenda. Since the 2010 elections, their attempts at denigrating women have reached new depths. The Republican assault on women, their repeated Rape Wand Laws, their hang-ups about sex and contraception, and hatred for LGBTQ all stem from ignorance and lies.

Results from a recent study show Sex Education delays sexual activity in young adults.

The study, conducted by researchers from the reproductive health research organization The Guttmacher Institute, used data from the 2006 to 2008 National Survey of Family Growth

The results showed, however, that two-thirds of young women and 55 percent of young men received some sort of instruction on birth control and abstinence before their first sexual experience.

Already Right-Wingers know they can dismiss and attack the study because it doesn't conform to their pre-conceived notions or the opinions given to them by their oppressors. What it shows, is no matter what the consequences Right-Wingers are going to use all the power they can to exert their control over Americans.

Instead of dropping the contraception issue Right-Wingers are lying because once the truth seeps into their minds they're going to crumble. Once you lie that this is about "religious liberty" or not wanting their tax dollars going to pay for people to have sex the lies can not stop.

Conservatives aren't paying for other people to have sex. As much as they may want to and as much as they want to watch. But, Limpballs repeated derogatory insults and attacks on Sandra Fluke and paragon of sexual morality Bill O'Reilly's happy leap into the affair along with Faux News, while multiple right-wing blog sites and their conservative drones repeat the vile insults and lies shows the depths of depravity the Right will strive towards in their never-ending quest to exert power and control over others.

And it's not even because of the rank hypocrisy of having two well known sexual deviants leading the charge or really even when any Right-Winger is caught with his pants down that's a conservative hang-up. It's the lying for power.

Because what is driving this Sexual Crusade is Control. Control of Sex. Power over individuals. Oppression. They've gone to far to turn back now. The Assaults must continue. Control must be exerted.

SmartyPants has an observation from a New York Time article:

As we hear the shrillness of the political chattering class ramp up, its important that we keep in mind that there are women all over this country - Democrat, Republican and Independent - who are not going to put up with this crap. The misogyny is sounding pretty loud right now. But come November - the women of this country will speak!

Meet the Elitiest Out-of-Touch Romneys!

Mitt Romney is going to be the Republican Nominee for President. The Oppressive Totalitarian branch of the Right-Wing gnashed their teeth and tried for a Perry/Bachmann/Gingrich/Santorum Coup but, ultimately the Elitiest Out-of-Touch with America Plutocrat branch of the Party will win out*.

While much focus has been on the disgusting bag of misogynistic gutter trash and right-wing shit known as Rush Limpballs, Mitt, Ann and the 5 Romney Boys have been illustrating their nonchalant, tone deaf, Out-of-Touch, 1%, snobbish ignorance.

Mitt Romney is still trying his, 'I'm a regular guy' routine which is so infuriating the Teahaddist conservatives.

In Michigan Romney tried to connect with the Americans he heartily wanted to be fired in his Magnum Opus 'Let Detroit Go Bankrupt'. Thinking that they way to connect to middle class and Michigan voters was to talk about American cars, Romney imagined the cheapest car brand he could think of and said, "I drive a Mustang and a Chevy pickup truck. Ann drives a couple of Cadillacs, actually."

Ann Romney drives a couple of Cadillacs, that's really Salt of the Earth stuff!

However, Romney wasn't finished! In an effort to appeal to the Drive Fast Turn Left fans, Romney was asked by an AP reporter if he follows NASCAR. Mitt Out-of-Touch Romney responded, "Not as closely as some of the most ardent fans. But I have some great friends who are NASCAR team owners."

Not to be outdone Ann Romney decided to reach out to poor and struggling Americans with her own personal story of hard times in the Republican Recession, "I don't even consider myself wealthy, which is an interesting thing."

Now, Faux News was attempting to show the storng side of Ann Romney as she struggles with MS, a terrible burden and not something to ridicule say as Rush Limpballs did to Michael J. Fox and his illness. However, Ann is incredibly wealthy and according to her she "has horses in every port" to help her spiritually and physically deal with her illnesses.

But, she's also part of the Republican Plutocracy which is fighting with every fiber of their being to make sure Medicare, Medicaid and SSI disability insurance are taken away from the Millions of Americans who need it to help them deal with their medical issues.

As I wrote back in a blog post in August 2009, If you were Wealthy, You'd be Healthy, this is merely part of the Greedy One Percent which holds,

Hey poor people? I've got some bad news for you... It's your own fucking fault you're poor. And because you are poor when you get sick well too fucking bad.

The Healthcare Reform debate is rooted in the idea the poor are that way due to their own failings, their lack of moral fiber. If god or nature wanted the poor to be wealthy and healthy they would be, but since they are not well then... It's Pre-Destination, Calvinism, Social Darwinism and Welfare Queens again. It's the Myth the Rich got that way due to their inherent merit... And why should the best and brightest, The Rich, pay for your pre-ordained immorality? Indeed forcing the Meritorious Rich to pay for the Poor is the height of evil as Michele Dump Bachmann stated "This is Slavery".

Contraception is about Control and Punishment

"But do you understand what the New York Times wants, and the far-left want? They want to break down the white, Christian, male power structure, which you’re a part, and so am I." - Bill O'Reilly

For Conservatives everything boils down to Control; controlling women, controlling who votes, controlling workers, controlling sex, controlling the media, controlling government. Control is so important to Conservatives because Right-Wingers are Authoritarians who can not handle freedom and hate individualism.

Once Right-Wingers have control they turn to punishment. The Conservative elections in 2010 showed Right-Wingers don't actually want to help America they want to harm people whom the hate and distrust. Matthew Vadum at The American Thinker clearly enunciated the conservative view of Control and Punishment in his article, Registering the Poor to Vote is Un-American.

Registering them [the Poor] to vote is like handing out burglary tools to criminals. It is profoundly antisocial and un-American...

Every policy decision and proposed law or amendment was designed to subjugate women, eliminate rights, punish the poor, destroy Unions, harm Americans.

The "debate" over contraception and birth control is nothing less than wanting to control women and punish those who somehow elude Right-Wing Control.

“Do you want [farming retailer] Tractor Supply to open stores or would you rather they take their capital and do what Obamacare and its 2,700 pages dictates – which is to open a lactation chamber at every single store that they have?” - Tom Stemberg Co-Founder of Staples.

Oh Blessed Authoritarian thank you for the Insightful Business Acumen about Women! You, a Supreme Member of the 1%, have such august wisdom!

Now, Republicans while being abject evil and irredeemable slime are still crafty and shrewd so they will not acknowledge their fight is for totalitarian control but, instead will engage in a propaganda war. Thus we have Right-Wing Wailing Campaign, wherein they pound their breasts, pull their hair and are reduced to blubbering, about President Obama's War on Religion.

This could be an argument about Positive Liberty and Negative Liberty but, that would require an honest debate partner and Regressive Republicans are never, ever honest. Regressives aren't actually worried about the moral implications since all Americans engage in birth control techniques and use contraceptives. Nor are they worried about Government mandating to religious affiliated institutions healthcare coverage since 28 States currently have provisions mandating religious affliated healthcare insurance providers cover contraception.

What this is about is controlling sex. Pre-occupation with sex, (i.e. the easier access for woman and the acceptance of homosexuality) has always been a prime occupation of Authoritarians. All Republicans are Authoritarians and once a society embraces human rights, Authoritarians lose power.

Once women are no longer tied to the pregnancy/birth cycle they can exercise power in society and that is something the Catholic Church and Conservative Authoritarians have always loathed/feared. Because more people involved lessens their control. More voters lessens their chances of controlling government.

So, the Archdiocese of Chicago and the Catholic Church has declared War on President Obama. Catholic ass Cardinal Francis George weighed in using his religious authority,

“We cannot — and will not — comply with this unjust law,” states the cardinal, who is vehemently opposed to the new Obama administration rule requiring religious organizations to include contraceptive health insurance coverage.

This is the same man who declared, "You don’t want the gay liberation movement to morph into something like the Ku Klux Klan, demonstrating in the streets against Catholicism."

It's well past the time when religious figures should be openly mocked for their false authority and the millions of wasted hours ruminating about a how many angels can dance on the head of a molested child. An individual working for a Jewish-affiliated Hospital can't be docked pay because he eats pork outside work, and a Catholic affiliated Hospital can't give less healthcare benefits to an individual who breaks one of their silly precepts.

The easiest answer is if you don't like rubbers and birth control pills then don't buy them, but that's not good enough for the Regressive Conservative Authoritarians. They don't want anyone to have access. Because, women's access to contraception is a threat.

What would solve this is a Single-Payer Plan and Medicare for all, and President Obama is shrewd enough to be setting up the battle of his second term to implement them.

This is the right thing to do but, I always wish the White House would be ahead of the message instead of letting evil Republican scum and wacky religious weirdos control the message. But, if Liberals can not get behind the President on this issue, then I'm not sure why they call themselves Liberals? Because, why call yourself Liberal if you are siding with the Regressive, the Authoritarian, the Conservative, with those who have consistently sided with rolling back hard fought rights won over the last century.

Mark Kirk suffered a Stroke

Illinois Senator Mark Kirk suffered a terrible stroke which required brain surgery. From a Spokesman for Senator Kirk,

On Saturday, Senator Kirk checked himself into Lake Forest Hospital, where doctors discovered a carotid artery dissection in the right side of his neck. He was transferred to Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, where further tests revealed that he had suffered an ischemic stroke. Early this morning the Senator underwent surgery to relieve swelling around his brain stemming from the stroke. The surgery was successful. Due to his young age, good health and the nature of the stroke, doctors are very confident in the Senator’s recovery over the weeks ahead.

An ischemic stroke occurs when an artery to the brain is blocked. Senator Kirk had an 8 inch by 4 inch section his skull removed to help reduce swelling, this is called trephining, one of the oldest surgical procedures performed by mankind, dating back to the Neolithic era.

Of course, I hope the junior Senator from Illinois makes a full, strong and rapid recovery. I also Hope every American will have access to the type of medical coverage Senator Kirk enjoys.

But, under the Republicons unanimous support for Paul Ryan Deathcare, anyone in need of such a procedure would probably not be able to explain they have a Two-for-One Coupon for trephining and aftercare and even if they could Eric Cantor would demand any medical coverage for a poor person be offset with cuts in Food Stamps or Pell Grants.

But, that's okay because the Tea Party Voters have the answer, 'LET EM DIE!'

Update:
Kirk ran on this slogan in 2010, “I’m Mark Kirk and I can’t wait to vote against the health care bill next week.” And when asked by an audience member what he would do if the health care bill is passed and signed into law, Kirk said he would lead the effort to repeal it.

This is What Republicans Believe: They get Medicare, You Don't

Everything done by the Federal Government is Socialism... Unless it benefits Republicans and their Corporate Masters.

Rep. Rob Woodall (R-GA) had to put the plebs from his district back in their place with a town hall meeting, when some non-Republican person dared to question him!

Ilene Johnson, a Democratic activist who lives in Gwinnett County, "You take government-subsidized health care, but you are not obligated to take that if you don’t want to. Why aren’t you going out on the free market in the state where you are a resident and buy your own health care?"

Rob Woodall, "It’s because it’s free. It’s because it’s free."

Woodall went on to claim, "Folks, if you give people things for free, don’t blame them for taking them." First off stop with the usage of the term 'Folks'. It doesn't make you seem aw, schucks small townish. Second, Woodall probably thought he was winning points with the crowd with his subjects by educating them about how Medicare is a free service for 'welfare queens' but as always Republicans lie.

Medicare, Medicaid aren't "things for free". They are programs which have been bought and paid for by the American People. And what the Republicans and Paul Ryan are trying to do with their 'Here are Some Coupons go out and try to get Cancer Medication' Deathcare plan is steal that money.

On Newt Gingrich's studio home at Meet The Press David Gregory talked about Paul Ryan Deathcare Plan:

"So, Ruth Marcus, what wins here, bold leadership on Medicare and the argument that the Democrats won't do something courageous or the Democrats who say, hey, those guys want to take away my medicare?"

It's Bold! It's Courageous! Forcing old people to try and pay for their healthcare with a quickly devalued coupon? Forcing sick children to get coverage from Insurance Companies which are caught cheating those children out of coverage now:

Illinois Blue Cross and Blue Shield to pay $25 million fraud settlement for denying coverage to sick children in need of nursing care by "fraudulently" shifting their claims to Illinois' Medicaid programBlue Cross (Chicago Tribune Feb 24, 2011)

When it comes to Medicare, everyone in America, a nation of 300 Million persons should be aware that the 300 Never-Done-An-Honest -Days-Worth-Of-Labor Republican Bureaucrats have been instructed to destroy it and replace it with Paul Ryan's Deathcare Program.

It doesn't matter 80% of the American People dislike these Republican policies because the GOP ignores the will of the people and serve the interests of Billionaires. But, the blatant hypocrisy is galling. Republicans don't even care. They lie to cameras, they lie to consitutents, they lie, lie, lie. Because, even if they do get voted out their families financial future is safe and secure. All these 2010 Teabagged Republicans enjoy lifetime pensions. They see no problem in slashing your benefits while ensuring they will continue to get them.

And all they have to do to win this financial security is cosign We, The People to Perpetual Wage Slavery.

"Labor is a commodity just like corn or beans or oil or gold, and the value of it needs to be determined by the competition, supply and demand in the workplace," -Steve King (R-IA).

You are nothing more than a non-durable good, a cog, in the machines of Industry and War and the Republicans have no problem telling you your value, wage slave.

And they'll gladly do it with a ready lie on their lips but, by hook or by crook, the Republicans are going to force America into perpetual bondage in service to their Plutocratic Masters,

"[O]ne way or the other, either through the Supreme Court or the legislature, these reforms will be put into place," Scott Walker, Koch Governor.

Heathcare Insurance Reform? Who needs that!

A co-founder of Chicago-based Canopy Financial pleaded guilty of defrauding investors and clients of more than $93 million, according to prosecutors.

Jeremy Blackburn, 37, of Bolingbrook, pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud in U.S. District Court.Blackburn, a former president and chief operating officer of Canopy, admitted participating in a scheme to bilk investors out of $75 million and siphoning funds in excess of $18 million, from 1,600 customer accounts that were intended for medical expenses.

In September, Canopy’s chief technology officer, Anthony Banas, also pleaded guilty to wire fraud. He is due to be sentenced March 30.

This is Republican capitalism. This is the Republican Party's ideal of a perfect healthcare insurance industry. This is the economic policy of the Plutocrats and their dogs in the Republican Party which increasingly believe they own the American people.

Conservatives aren't the worst people on Earth but they sure enable the Republicans and chain themselves to Plutocracy. Conservatives have embraced the mantra of Government can't do anything right. They demand no government intrusion. And then when a unscrupulous person, like Jeremy Blackburn, or soulless Corporate board, like BP, motivated ony by the size of their golden parachutes commits massive fraud conservatives point and stammer "See government oversight is worthless!"

The BP Oil Gulf Disaster and Massey Energy Upper Big Branch Mine Explosion are just the most spectacular instances Republican malfeasance. The actions of Blackburn and Banas are indicative of conservatives' feelings, theft and greed are part of the Free Market and Government laws are just evil Socialism which hamper industrious Capitalists like themselves. Canopy's problem was their theft was too small. In order to receive Republican deference and protection they needed to steal Billions.

Offensive Conservatives set to Steal your Social Security

[A]nd now they’re coming for your Social Security money. They want your fuckin' retirement money. They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street, and you know something? They’ll get it . . . - George Carlin

George Bush has finally owned up to his biggest mistake while in office... not Stealing your Social Security. While in Chicago promoting his book, President Bush proudly claimed 9/11 as one of his successes, "In terms of accomplishments, my biggest accomplishment is that I kept the country safe," Bush said. But, he lamented his greatest failure that he wasn't able to privatize Social Security.

It's all right there for you America. They are coming to undo it all. They'll start with an Impeachment of President Obama for failing to provide his DNA to the Birthers, then they'll move onto their real goals; eliminate Social Security, eliminate Medicare, eliminate the Department of Labor and Education, eliminate the EPA, OSHA, MSHA, the Consumer Protection agencies, Wall Street oversight, and turn the America people into a mass of Wage Slaves working hard for 40 years and then cut loose to die of old age, injuries and lack of Healthcare coverage. Republicans want you to be nothing more than an obedient slave

And it will be The 300 who will accomplish it. 5 SC Justices, 50 Senators and 245 Congressmen; 300 Republicans. Those 300 will shut down Government. They will cut benefits for American workers and pass budgets which underfund any Government Agency which blocks the sadistic Corporate Rape America First crowd. They will offshore so many jobs and import so many immigrants that you will grovel and thank them when they provide you with just enough money to keep from starving and freezing to death.

That is the Government the Republican Party is telling the American People it will create; A mean, nasty and brutish regime. 300 Republican Bureaucrats who work for their Plutocratic Overlords to cosign the American Middle Class to history and shackle the American people with the chains of Corporate Bondage.

Republicans are Soviet Style Commies

I have surmised that Cmdr La Forge was conditioned by Redupelicans, a process referred to historically, and somewhat inaccurately, as brainwashing. ~ Data explains the Republican Party Platform, from Star Trek: TNG

The Right is engaged in a disengenious word disassocaition ploy. After Nixon sent the Republican Party into disarray by engaging in the typical behavior of a conservative, i.e. Crime, The Republicans decided to demonize the word Liberal and change the thinking about America by claiming America isn't a Democracy but a Constitutional Republic. You can also find any number of Political shows where Republican politicians childishly undermine Democracy by referring to The Democrat[sic] Party.

By equating Liberal and Democrat with everything evil and America with Republic(an), they hope to condition or brainwash the young post boomer generations into believing the Republican Party is America. And it's working somewhat as the Republican backed, owned and operated Tea Bag Parties had duped and deluded fools proclaiming Democrat=Nazi. Here's video of David (who lies and claims to be a Marine Corps Vet but is merely a Republican Agent Provocateur) bellowing the National Socialist Party is Leftist and Nancy Pelosi should look to the sleeve of her own arm to find a swastika.

The Republicans and their Corporate Masters have realized now, unlike 100 years ago when they could install pro-business politicians and merely employ the police, the Pinkertons and the military to kill Progressives and destroy Populist programs, they have to be more subtle and need to subvert and co-opt the Populist rhetoric and create faux populist quislings to undermine needed reforms to Health Care Insurance and Bank regulation.

So, the Republicans have undertaken a multi part strategy of: Appeals to Ignorance, False Righteousness and Racism to catch 10% of the American people and fool them into believing Republicans are moral regular guys with beat-up work trucks instead of the elitist ivy league, pate eating, immoral pederasts that all Republicans are; then the Republicans trot out a few thousand of these duped racist ignorant rabble for Fox News to cover and work to indenture themselves.

Of course, ignorant and outright liars who pen Conservative blogs stomp their feet and throw tantrums 'Wah! Waaaah! You evil Liberals call the Republicans names as well!!! Waaaaah!' Alinsky! Eleventy-Billion attended the Tea Rally March! and most lefties are stunned that an anonymous blogger would be equated the same power as Racist Limbaugh or Government Welfare Queen Michele Bachmann.

The lastest attacks have been by Glenn Beck who has told his millions of brain dead listeners that Barack Obama is a "white"-hating Muslim Socialist who employs Communists and wants to literally slaughter Americans after putting them into concentration camps.

But, trying to reason with the mentally disturbed and frothingly unbalanced cyber bullies is waste of time and a futile endeavor. So, every leftist should realize that when a Republican touts himself as a defender of the Republic, the Republic he truely identifies with and seek to embody is: The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Republicans are Soviet Style Commies who want to kill their fellow citizens, control the apparatus of production through government power and subjugate the world.

Republicans are Soviets. It's right their in their name...

But here's Video Evidence that Republicans are Marxists:

Repeal It!

If You Can't Eat It Or Fuck It...
Then Kill It! ~ Sex and Violence, Carnivore (the predecessor to Type O Negative)

The Repeal It Pledge:

"I hereby pledge that if any federal health care takeover is passed in 2010, I will support - with my time, money, and vote - only candidates who pledge to support its repeal and replacement with real reforms that lower health care costs without growing government."

And Republican Congress members and candidates have signed on. But, do you know what's not included in the Repeal It Pledge? Why Congress members immediate pledge to destroy The Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) Program. Amazing.

Sure, you poor slobs out there have to pay outrageous insurance premiums, have no choice in which company provides you with coverage, face loss of coverage at the whim of bureaucrats but the Republicans in Congress can choose a TAX PAYER FUNDED FEDERALLY RUN INSURANCE Program.

And Republicans in Congress not only get an inexpensive Federal plan but the following perks as well: individualized special treatment at federal medical facilities and access to their own pharmacy with doctors, nurses and medical technicians standing by in an office located between the House and Senate chambers.

So, why can't regular Americans enjoy the same treatment? Why do the Republicans in Government believe themselves to be a privileged aristocracy?

Well, the answer is simple Republicans Hate Americans and want them to Die. Republicans especially love when Americans die in service to The Republican Party or when Republicans advance into positions of power.

Poor Health

If you've got money you're gonna live on the beach if not you'll live in a bungalow... ~ Racist Limbaugh on William Shattner's Raw Nerve

Understand what Racist Limbaugh said there? Money equals privilege no money go die in a bungalow and be quiet about it...

El Fatback Racist Limbaugh's recent chest pains and the care he received are big news, I guess. El Oxycontin Abuser declared the American System "is working just fine, just dandy". Uh huh. No one said otherwise about Doctors though Racist Limbaugh, like most Punk Ass Bitch Republicans, set up bullshit Strawmen Arguments which conform to their American Hating Love of Money over People Philosophical Ideology. The Doctors, Nurses, Medical Technicians, Paramedics, and EMTs I've personally seen or had contact with in this country all possess the best work ethic, dedication and training in human history.

But, praising Doctors isn't what wins fetid Punk Ass Bitch Chicken Hawk Republicans Congressional seats or the big insurance campaign contributions. No those are won by fear mongering and lying, the two attributes most prized by Republican Voters.

Which is why I'm certain R. Limbaugh actually didn't suffer any chest pains and this is all a stunt pulled by him to give him front line experience with Health Care. Limbaugh is a liar and that's why his Dittoheads love him*.

*- Most of his listeners also love him because he is an blubbery coward who skipped out of military service but never misses an opportunity to push for War.
