When the republiCONS say American People...
do you think they are talking about you.

When they say the American people want this or that are they talking about you or do you think they are talking about those so called Real Americans sarah palin is talking about?

When the republiCONS say the PUBLIC says they want this or that are they talking about you?

When Bush was the President and the republiCONS had ALL control of congress were they bipartisan? Did they care about what you thought or your concerns being that we all are suppose to be Americans.

If the republiCONS win back seats and the whitehouse again will they care about you?

If the republicons win seats in 2010 will they waste time and pretend that they are good boys and girls who really care about the people until they win more seats and the whitehouse and fool you again?

If the republiCONS win the whitehouse will they finally destroy the country for good?

If the republicons win the whitehouse will the wingnut,stupid,insane,nutty ass a fruitcake right finally realize that they DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THEM! when it is too late and everything will be so destroyed that it can't be fixed?

1. The Republicans have a very distorted view on Democracy.... They forget the fact...
that the percentage of Americans do not agree with them in any way, shape, or form and that President Obama was voted in by a Majority of Americans.

4. Right! It's astonishing that "we" don't remind them of this publicly and often...
I don't see many Democratic or liberal politicians bringing this obvious fact up often... Off the top of my head, only Bill Clinton, Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean spring to mind as Dems who frequently state the reality... "Dems are in charge now. We won. You used to be in charge once, but you lost."

Bill Clinton often talks in us and them terms... He was once asked (by David Letterman or Jon Stewart) why the right wing hated him so much. He replied, "Because I won."

I actually think this assertive and authoritarian style scores points with conservatives... They need authority figures, they need to be told how to behave

Obama articulates using a very inclusive style... "We can do this or that" or "We can work together" et cetera.

I am so tired of seeing these rightwing liars appearing all over television talking about what the American people want as though the teabaggers are ALL or the Majority of the people in America as though the election spoke for their points of view.

Now,we can't help it that some of these teabaggers thought that they were still living in the forties and fifties and the world has moved on.

2. They believe right wing control is the default state of the union...
Whenever Democrats are in charge they behave as if that is a temporary exception to the rule. Sadly, it seems the media also conveys this impression.

(Republican lingo is perverse......They are literally peddling a system where medical providers have the option to demand that you "opt out" of Medicare in order to access quality care.)

8. I saw Frank Luntz this morning on cspan and..
the strategy is to pit the old people against the young. Luntz had some poll and he said if you wanted to hire someone who would you hire old or young then then he gave some bullshit reasoning for hiring the elderly.

Another thing Luntz said was some garbage about if you are trying to talk to your parents and they are on their blackberry take the blackberry from your parent and tell them you want them to teach you by his talking points on his list.
