If you think you have been lied to before…you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet. It’s an election year and therefore the amount and the degree of inaccuracy of Republican statements will increase, and already have increased, exponentially. Here are just a few examples. Both Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney have blamed Barack Obama for the lack [...]

Lies My Republican Candidates Told Me.
October 28th, 2011 · Comments Off · Culture, Politics, Populism, The Budget, Wall Street
The Republican candidates are out on the Old Washington Trail. It leads from Iowa to New Hampshire to the Carolinas, with stops in Nevada and other similarly insignificant places along the way. The costumes are atrocious, the tricks are many and the treats are, well, few and far between. But the missatements of fact…well…they are [...]

How Republicans Took Your Job and How You Can Get It Back!
July 12th, 2011 · 1 Comment · Capitalism, Labor, Politics, Populism
We rattle on, debating the Fascists about whether we should cut this or tax that….Congress and the President drone on and on. Lobbyists come and go in their $40,000 automobiles and their $2,000 suits and eat at $500 a plate fund raisers for cretins who will destroy the country. And the people go without jobs. [...]

Neocons to Middle Class: Forget Health Care Reform. Buy or Die!
January 6th, 2011 · Comments Off · Health Care, Politics
The Neocons have begun their full-scale assault on the middle and lower classes of the American People. It began January 6, 2011, with the initial hearings on the already announced legislative proposal to repeal health care reform. Despite the fact that 7 out of 10 Americans do not want health care reform repealed, the Republicans [...]

Neocons Versus Firemen
December 25th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Politics
We were going to continue with our Populist view of what’s wrong with America in Part II, discussing the shift in American Values. But first, this on Neocon Greed. We have to tell you the 2010 version of Dickens’ A Christmas Story. In this story, Scrooge is the Neocon Republican Senate. Bob Cratchit and Tiny [...]

Tax Cut Magic
December 2nd, 2010 · 1 Comment · Politics, taxes
The Neocons, formerly the Republicans, (there are now no remaining Republicans) have a unique perspective. On December 2, 2010, the Democrats, and a few Neocons, in the House of Representatives voted to give every taxpayer in the United States who earns less than $250,000 a tax cut. The Republicans not only did not vote for [...]

On Oil Spills and Government Spoils
June 16th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Capitalism, Corporations and Industry, Economics, Lobbying, Politics, Populism, Wall Street
This is about our country.We have been through the Second Age of the Moguls and it was worse than the first, if that is possible. In those days, there were no regulations, less than ten percent income tax, often as not ignored, and a country just beginning to feel the environmental weight of massive forests [...]

Here’s How Right Wing Obstruction Affects You Personally.

Life is not a newsreel, someone once said. It is not a sound bite. It is not the mere reporting of Republican Reich Wing obstruction. It is real life–life and death, injury and loss, jobs and unemployment, homes and homelessness, wealth and poverty. There are 290 bills passed by the House of Representatives pending in [...]

Debts, Lies and Obstructionism
May 12th, 2010 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, energy, Politics
No mistake about it. We are in crisis mode. No matter what the stock market or the boys knocking down millions on Wall Street say…we are in an economic crisis. And we are in a political crisis. We have trillions of debt that we need to pay off. We owe about $12.8 trillion of which [...]

Make No Mistake About It–Neocon Republicans Are Holding up Financial Reform.
May 4th, 2010 · Comments Off · Corporations and Industry, Lobbying, Politics, Wall Street
The Neoconservative Republican Party is holding up the financial reform bill. It is even holding up amendments by Republican Senators, the same Senators who are holding up the Senate from voting on their amendments. Like Senator Olympia Snowe, the apparently super-duper-hypocritical Senator from Maine. She says she wants to protect her constituents from the evils [...]

Tea Bags and Right Wing Liars
April 14th, 2010 · Comments Off · Culture, Politics
Who are these nuts in the tea party rallies? We’re talking about the people carrying the offensive signs, making obscene comments and creating altered images of elected officials. Remember, elected officials are those courageous individuals who legitimately go out to the people, tell them their plans for society, ask for help from their fellow citizens [...]

Health Care Reform or Obstruction. Whom Should You Trust?
March 18th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Health Care, Politics
On the question of health care, in the absence of actually looking it up yourself, it all comes down to: whom do you believe? Do you believe the Democrats who have created the health care plan? One could assume that they created it as something for which they will be praised. They certainly realize that [...]

“Hello, this is Congresswoman Judy Biggert. I’m calling to warn you about Medicare…” How lucky am I?

Why Neoconservatives Vote Against Jobs.
February 5th, 2010 · Comments Off · jobs, Politics
It is no secret that the Neoconservative Republicans and their friends on talk radio are against job creation. They voted 100%, every single one, against the Stimulus bill, the $787 billion jobs bill that has already created 2 million jobs. They voted overwhelmingly in late 2008 against even the Bush Administration’s attempt to push funds [...]
