Is hate the GOP way

It is official. The GOP strategy of hate for winning elections is bad for America. The GOP in 2012 has managed to alienate everyone other than heterosexual, protestant, six-figure salaried, screw the environment, war hawk white males. It seems as if the only vote that matters to the GOP will not come from anyone who is not male, white, heterosexual, protestant or making six-figures per year. The rub in the wound are the attempts to make anyone reading the GOP playbook aloud into a bully. We have watched, for over a year, racist, homophobic, misogynist, and pollution as solution GOP candidates cry foul each time someone shines light on the wayward logic of the party. We must end this stuff now. Most of thinking Americans have long come to the conclusion that the real issue with President Obama is his being Black. However, the GOP, circle the wagons, leadership did not stop the fear mongering at Black president. Homosexuals, the other boogie-man in the GOP closet, have been hit with a chicken sandwich eat-a-thon. Mike Huckabee led the charge to fill Cathy’s pockets as a tribute for Cathy’s willingness to stand on hate. Mitt Romney and the other GOP presidential hopefuls showed early on their view of the Latino population. Paul Rogers, RNC Committee Man of Arizona went as far as to condemn a meeting between the Arizona governor and Native Americans. Rogers wrote it was a dishonor to the memory of Custer. Is the GOP strategy really to alienate anyone they deem not worthy? I cannot say, however I do know to fight a woman is prelude to failure. The GOP leadership has continued to promote what has amounted to a war on women. Initially the GOP sent out the women to explain there was no war on women. We women outside the party are in hysterics. Yet, the current GOP VP pick voted against equal pay for women. As a woman and a mother, I need to be paid. My children enjoy eating well and often. Yeah, I may be just a little bit hysterical. If I am hysterical please explain the focus on reproduction rights for women. The GOP has done nothing but focus on the unborn fetus while telling current children access to health care and food will be limited. The shots fired every day by the GOP at women tell me we are in a war. The “parenthood” amendments dotting the state legislatures across the country were only spent rounds of ammunition compared to the cannon ball shot by Todd Akin. Hukabee’s willingness to pack the “legitimate rape” cannon for another round only makes it clear there is a war on women. Since “legitimate rape” produces no offspring, Ryan is correct in denying access to abortion regardless of the circumstances of conception. Are these people even American? Are they warlords from the Congo? Being of African slave decent I could truly make a few other statements on legitimate rape. The GOPs strategy seems to be to divide and to conquer. However, I feel safe knowing Americans are too smart to fall for such a campaign of hate and intolerance. http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2012/08/24/rnc-official-says-nm-governor-disrespected-custer-by-meeting-american-indians-130958 http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-07-26/god-and-gay-marriage-what-chick-fil-a-could-learn-from-marriott

Take me over the cliff - again

I expect many Americans in my fiscal position are fed up with the GOPs continued fight for the rights of the wealthy to pay less in taxes.  I say take me over the cliff.  I recently found a Twitter account regarding the $250K threshold.   Many of the tweets\RTs where describing the hardships of $250K living.   It is time for a reality check across the board in America.    If the grown-ups were honest about this fiscal mess, they would admit the tax cuts must end for all.  The ending should be in stages to reduce the likelihood of the need for public assistance for working\working-poor families.  Although $250K is different for different parts of the U.S.A it does mean you are not in the ghetto. There is no $250K/individual ghetto in America. If you are reading this posting and you know of such a ghetto, please let me know for I need to move to that state.  If taxes go up for individuals making $250K and above they will not face a n...

Y'all should eat my grits no cheese

It is two days after the GOP primary in Mississippi. We are still laughing at Mitt's attempt to cuddle up to us with cheesy grits and a few y'alls thrown in. In my area of Mississippi it is yaw'all(10 second word). Had he come here expecting us to be able to count to 20 without removing our shoes, he may have been taken a little bit more seriously. I am not sure if Mitt's grits ranks with Bush's "this part of the world" statement after Katrina but it ranks. Truthfully, I enjoy cheese in my grits along with garlic and red pepper. However, I do not think my love of grits, a bowl every morning, makes me Southern. Although I was born in Southern California and partially reared in Southern Wisconsin, I consider myself a full blown Mississippian. Along with keeping my grits to myself, I also speak without care of accent. The fact that I can tell you how to get from Memphis to the Coast without using the interstate or Google says I am from Mississippi. ...

We can not afford tax cuts

After the Senate failed twice to make any headway on tax cuts and UI benefits, I took a little timeout from shouting to be silent. I spent 2 hours and 20 minutes being quiet with my son as we watched Harry Potter. Today, I awaken early to get to the store to buy food to aid in my son’s combat of the season’s first cold. During the shopping and the quiet time, I continued to wonder if maybe I am the one missing something. I do not have the alphabet soup behind my name or statistical knowledge, as do those in the Senate. I may be alone in seeing a crisis where there is none. However, just as I thought to put away the shingle of my blog in favor of teaching public school, I got a retweet of a NY Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/05/us/politics/05states.html?_r=1&src=twt&twt=nytimespolitics). Reading the article I was reminded how, my close to retirement age mother, who has advanced degrees, was laid-off as a teacher under the guise of budget cuts from the state....
