Stand for Something

Stand up and identify yourselves as the pond scum that you truly are. You are politicians, we expect that. I know it sounds absurd and too novel or unique to gamble on, but have you investigated this thing called TRUTH. Shock us. Go ahead and announce that your campaign promises are a result of polling and that you have absolutely zero intentions of honoring ANY of them unless it somehow suits your needs. Look the voters straight in the eyes (or camera lens) and admit that you intend to whore yourself out to billionaires, corporations, special interest groups... who ever carries the deepest purse. Stand in a crowd of women and announce that each on is the most beautiful woman ever to walk the earth. Say that you are totally against abortion but you can't get elected while opposing it, so you'll perform them yourself if necessary. Go on record as saying that you oppose same sex marriages but will keep an open mind based upon campain contributions and backing. say you DO think gays and lesbians are snappy dressers. take a chance and shock the nation. stand firmly behind our troops but mention that tyhe VA is overspending it's budget and you hope that more soldiers will integrate into industry and use their company provided insurance. Come right out and state that old people should expect to be sick and dieing isn't so bad, really. You may just find that this 'truth' thing could catch on in a starnge way.

We don't really expect you to stand for anything. We expect you to write a book before a campaign so that major contributors can avoid campaign donation laws. We stand for that. We expect you to take cash from Israel / their lobbyists in return for ignoring their aggression and appropriating U.S. tax dollars to fund their agencies spying on us. We stand for that. We expect your wife's dummy corporation and all of your friends and relatives to reap the benefits of war or peace or prosperity or economic recession. We stand for that. We expect voluminous bills laid before Congress hiding pork barrel spending and deals in your home states and those of your 'honorable' co-conspirators due to payoffs, blackmail, and just everyday politics. We stand for that. We expect you to wipe your tails with the Constitution anytime it stands in the way of a profit for the Corporations that put you and keep you in office. We stand for that. We expect long winded speeches about what's best for our nation and why you made an unpopular decision at the expense of tax dollars and civil & human rights while vacationing and planning your retirement at the expense of industry. We stand for that. What we can no loonger stand for is the fact that you act like we, the people, are blind, blithering idiots. We can no longer stand for that.

Translation: Big Government is bad ... unless it is controlled by Republicans, and then it is good. The National Debt is bad, that is why George W. Bush paid it down to zero .. no wait, never mind that one. The Constitution is Good, unless it interferes with our agenda, when it becomes bad (see cross reference - Democratic Party - Inverse). Immigration is good, as long as it means cheap labor to drive down the price so that we can make more money, and as long as they actually cost us nothing, then it is bad. Torture is OK as long as we are the ones doing it (when it is not torture at all, right?), then it is bad. Nationalized Health Care is evil, it prevents us from trapping our employees in low wage jobs so that we can make more money. Money is always good, as long as we are the ones making it, otherwise it is bad.

DId I leave anything out? Oh! Yes! .... only specific interpretations of the Protestant Christian faith are good, and everything else is, by definition, the work of Satan. How are we doing so far?

LOL@ANGRY WHITEMEN=Rethgulikkkans,

The majority of these lone wolf type radicals are anti social, anti democracy anti american in those ways.
They will not put their country first and support their President.

They think they are still in control or running the country after the past 8 years of losing respect for themselves and for others.
they hate everyone.
that is why they are war mongers, believe in torture , and secret prisons and commit war crimes and want to keep it secret.
The GOP is the new FLIP FLOP PARTY!
they cry piss bitch and moan about everything spending, and helping out america get their country back they farmed out to china japan and laos vietnam korea, etc; but yet would not complain during bush years?? yeah go figure.

they are like a loser group of intolerant racist, and lone wolf types, angry white men. lol

AMEN1

Now if we could only figure out how to get the Author of this story backed by a new Party, the Calabrese Party sounds good!

Just my comment about Mrs:Pelosi if you remember early this year She was the number one on the Obama's Administration why because She was approving all the Financial rescue by Mr:Obama now She stop because we criticize it and some way now She is in trouble? why , Regarding Limbaugh I still don't know how he manage to keep on radio after the disappointment situation just a cuple of years ago, and Mr:Chney I never agree with his ideas but right now he have a good argument regarding the Guantanamo and Deteinees, like I said just my comment !.....

My concern is the people ane unemplyed will be permanently out of job, can we afford that is clear this administration can't handle it I don't think no body can what about if all the people in this Country just go in Bankrupt and we force Bak Institution's and Landers to give-up all this years of abuse they been make enough money for 31 years so far they still in the same business and what this Administration is been doing is support them why?. can you response to this question !......

Cheney and Limbaugh are not leading the party. the GOP don't have a leader right now. Cheney and Limbaugh COMMENT... like Bill Clinton, Gore and Carter.
For some reason the news media types are all upset by this and so unilaterally designating a "Republican leader" to stand up to attack down!
I think it's funny! The Liberals don't know who to attack or why!

Like I said before the more they get the les they can take,too late voter's we are in trouble again !,...

Just to observe the politicians in action is enough to disgust anyone. The obnoxious, boldly irresponsible and just self-serving behavior of so many politicians and their supporters, where they don???t even try to address the interests of the majority, is offensive. They just arrogantly and stubbornly present their positions with their total focus being on winning, only on blocking and faulting their opponents while they pursue their individual interests and their party???s goals. To see Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reed or John Boehner and Mitch McConnell tell their slanted views as they rationalize their lack of any real cooperation, while they concentrate only on their biased interests to benefit the few, should totally alienate the neglected majority. This is especially true coming from the many Republicans (Michael Steele, Jon Kyl, Sarah Palin, Lindsay Graham, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Bill O???Rielly,,) who now want to rationalize Bush-Cheney???s irresponsible behavior, that was aimed to benefit only the very few (who returned support, contributions and promised after office ???kickbacks???), and then to justify returning to more of the same. Several of the Democrats are also guilty of only focusing on their self-interests and neglecting their responsibility to the majority. It is simply a real pity to see all of their aggressive efforts to attack, discredit and defeat each other without ever having any sincere concern for benefit to the public. Their expressed concern is always focused just on winning, on criticizing and overcoming the opposition, on rationalizing and disguising their self-focus and never on real concern for the people. What they all fail to understand is that what won so many over to Obama was his ability to convey his sincere interest in all of the people and his refreshing demonstration of a real conscience. Even if voters don???t completely agree with all of Obama???s positions, which can simply become adjusted through compromise and update, his conscientious focus on the majority has to be attractive and impressive. The politicians, the parties and their influential supporters aren???t what are of major importance, only the people really are.

Its really makes sense and better of ,to steal from Rich give to the Poor,Rather then what Bush dd,Stole from the Poor,then give to Rich.

Republicans, conservatives and Libertarians hate government regulation. Therefore, a communter airline should be able to hire whoever they want to pilot a plane, even if the pilot is unqualified. They should be force pilots to accept horrible working conditions, even if this means a pilot is too tired to effective fly a plane. Airline tragedies, such as the one we witnessed last February, are a small prise to pay for "freedom" from pesky government regulations.
The same rationale applies to all the conservative arguments. The bottom line is that the "free market" only cares about the bottom line. It does not give a rat about human life. We've already tried that. (Go back to the safety record of railroads and steam boats in the 19th century, not to mention child labor and working conditions.) If you want a society free from government regulations, try Somalia. In Somalia, there are no public schools, no gun control laws, no taxes - and no governmment. Piracy is just another way to make a living. That's the GOP vision of the future.

And now they can say goodbye to Specter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard Pat Buchanan and Jos Scarborough this morning discussing the most recent poll which shows that merely 21% of Americans call themselves Repubican these days. Astonishing.
