Republicans Today, Part VII

Booman condenses the conundrum(how often do I get to use that word?) of the teabaggers side of the Republican's coalition:

I'm Almost Sad for the Tea Partiers

"..Now, you can believe political rhetoric or you can believe your lying eyes. Republicans run up huge deficits whenever they have the power to do so, and they loot the treasury to enrich themselves and their political donors. That is literally what real Republicans live to do. That's the party's entire purpose. The deficits are not really the primary goal. They're a byproduct of their desire to pay the lowest possible taxes while steering the maximum amount of the government's money to their rich pals. The deficits do serve a purpose however. Once bounced from power, the Republicans behave as though it was the Democrats who produced those deficits. And they pound the Democrats to cut social programs that steer government money away from their rich pals to people who are in need of some assistance.."

Rand Paul's Newest Ad? Stomping On Hippie Chicks

Rand "Keep them chicks away from me" Paul ad.
Perfectly fitting. If elected I believe this will be the ritualized punishment for all Democrats at his events. "May you live in interesting times".

The Old and White Tea Party

From Rolling Stone

Tea & Crackers
How corporate interests and Republican insiders built the Tea Party monster


















A hall full of elderly white people in Medicare-paid scooters, railing against government spending and imagining themselves revolutionaries as they cheer on the vice-presidential puppet hand-picked by the GOP establishment. If there exists a better snapshot of everything the Tea Party represents, I can't imagine it.

Today's Surprising(Not!) Fact

It's so totally weird how the teabaggers are no different than Republicans.














pic-Republicans & teabaggers

Who woulda thunk it? Everyone but other rightwing Republicans, and our National corporate "News" media obviously.
Hey, Let's ask DICK Armey! He'll know.
BWAHHAHAHA! Cough....

Actually I tend to agree with the floosie's shirt in many ways. Absolutely none of the ways she means it. But in many other ways...

Some Election Talk, Teabaggers And Some Good Political News For A Progressive

I kinda like this;

Specter Loses, Lincoln loses(1st round) and Conway wins in Kentucky. Also far rightwing Rand Paul wins over sorta, kinda rightwing Trey Grayson in Kentucky.

Among a few of the things I disagree with is this statement:
"Kentucky marked the third time that tea party activists, a collection of disparate groups without a central political structure, have placed their stamp on Republican races."
Our dear friends the Baggers













Baggers aren't "disparate" at all. They're overwhelmingly far right versions of regular GOP'ers. Virtual creations of "Dick" Armey and our corporate "News" media. Sort of a GOP/Libertarian/crazy hybrid. Studies have shown that they get their version of news from "FOX and Friends". I've heard some scary Teabagger opinions in interviews, and Sarah Palin is their queen, 'nuff said...IMO

Then again, these are "serious journalists" and I'm just a lowly, desperately unemployed Blogger. FEH!
Have a Great Wacky day travelers..!

Today's Headlines I'd Like To Correct

Lexington Herald-Leader headline this morning regarding poll results on the Tea party movement:

Kentucky Poll: Many Democrats undecided on Tea Party movement

Correct Headline:
Kentucky Poll: Teabagger Movement Off-Shoot of Republican Party:
(Will likely disappear as soon as Republicans are back in power)

The article seems shocked...SHOCKED, that Democrats not only don't support the Teabaggers all that much, but that Democrats don't even know quite what to make of the far right; "Keep your dang guv'ment hands off my Social Security/SSI" teabaggers.
When will someone sit our "News" media down(Jack Brammer in this instance) and explain to them why Republicans LOVE the 'baggers!?? It's right there in front of their faces.
Answer; Teabaggers are Republicans. Hellooo? Specifically far right, old and white, FOX News lovin', conservative toady,Republicans. A corporate funded baby spawned and supported by(aptly named) corporate machine Dick Armey.
As to the Democrats not knowing what to make of 'Baggers, that(IMHO) is just an another example of NEWS that the "news" media has completely bungled, intentionally or not. Another one of those distractions they love to completely babble about but ignore the gritty details. A few more? The war on(unapproved) drugs, The Health care bill, Iraq, George W. Bush, etc, etc.
And yes, I understand that this is Kentucky after all where Rand(Sarah Palin Loves Him!) Paul will likely be the Republican senate nominee.

Alas..Alack...For want of "News"..

Gotta go; Going to the country this evening for overnight. Unemployed again and STILL looking for a good job. Have a great weekend passerbys...

Video - Teabaggers On Parade

A new drinking game...Instead of rolling your eyes every time they say something crazy or hypocritical take a drink. Pace yourself though. It's like a Monty Python political group.



Kind of reminds me of shows where they go out on the street and ask people at random easy questions about history, geography, etc. Scary stuff.
Now there is one thing I agree wholeheartedly with these video teabaggers about, CNN Sucks! I don't watch CNN(Conservative News Network) either but for completely opposite reasons.

Breaking Away From Hell's Kitchen And Thinking About Wet "Teabaggers"

I think I'm about done with "Hell's Kitchen". It's been an interesting(like the old Chinese curse) experience but I'm almost done with massive food service work. Looks strongly like I may have another job. Hopefully not as new and as horrific.
The Networks were in orgasm today over the Glenn Beck and "Toon" Palin(Oh you know they are) teabaggers.
Well here's a few things everyboy knows, unless of course you're in the old(white folks) spastic corporate "News" on my teevee. Then you can't see beyond your limo.

As the Times’s new poll numbers amply confirm — especially the ones establishing that the Tea Partiers are overwhelming Republican or right-of-Republican — they are the same angry, ill-informed, overwhelmingly white, crypto-corporate paranoiacs that accompany every ascendancy of liberalism within U.S. government.

The pre-Teabagger teabagger.

And today's even more hostile version:

When they lose they stage a national hissy fit of epic proportions and persuade the Village (where they are perceived as the personification of the heartland of America) that they are something very important. Now that they have their very own TV and radio networks featuring crazed right wing demagogues 24/7, they are more successful on those terms than ever. But they are nothing new, nothing new at all. They are mostly a bunch of cranky, white men with money who are trying desperately to hang on to their privileges. Same as it ever was.

They are what we have called "Republicans" for at least the last 30 years."

Another reason I still miss "Media Whores Online". Night Y'all...

CPAC | Conservatives In Glass Houses Throwing Stones

Another perfect case of conservative projection? From past experience with sneering conservative ranters I'm now assuming this guy is a closeted gay cokehead(NOT that there's anything wrong with that!).


A few examples from their idols list; Rush Limbaugh(pills, pills, pills), Glenn Beck(cokehead, of course), George W. Bush(snorted up Peru, smoked up Mexico), Ted "to chicken for the draft" Nugent(yeah, pretty much everything), etc......

Video: Barney Frank Takes The Correct Approach

I've always liked Barney Frank(at least most of the time), and here's a BIG reason why. He doesn't suffer fools gladly. A good approach when dealing with crazed wingnuts.


Oddly this woman looks like she should be smarter than this. His last line should have been;
"Ma'am PLEASE watch less Faux News!"

A Disaster Area? No, It's That American Non-Guvment Health System

Another view of that premium US health care system that the Wingnut teabaggers(or as MSNBC describes them "senior citizens") - many of whom are on medicare, Veteran's benefits, and/or other guv-ment programs - love to crow about in front of those townhall corporate media cameras.

"..looking at a make-do clinic in that "remote area" known as American health care.."



Patients receive dental care inside the Forum arena at a free health clinic on August 11, 2009 in Inglewood, California. Hundreds of people, most without either health or dental insurance, waited outside much of the night for the first day of the clinic.

Best Line About The Townhall "News" Coverage Today

Comes from Atrios:

"Used to be the "crazy people" at these things were single payer advocates, and the media ignored them."

--
Amen brother.
It's been full blown wingnut "teabagger" coverage all over the corporate "newsies" today.
I told my sister that the wingnutter carrying the pistol outside Obama's townhall today - IF he plays his cards right could be the next "joe the Plumber", remember him?

The "teabaggers" and other wingnuts at these events are the puppets. Who are the puppeteers?
