Simon Says Simon Again

Here he went again--Simon-saying the usual catch points yet again only this time before the NAACP. Spewing forth the rhetoric of saying nothing other than what he has been saying, like a broken record, Seamus's Abuser is probably being lauded right now for speaking to a group of voters not likely to vote for him and saying he would repeal OBAMACARE. Brave? Bold? I don't think so for what happened here was a sound bit that would resonate with the radical right wing of the GOP. this is free press ride his wealthy supporters don't to foot the bill for at all. That's right FREE. All the news stations will be playing these moments over and over again for weeks. Liberal news stations and conservative ones will be chewing on the fodder that would give my horses colic! The liberals will say he played to the radical base. The conservatives will say "look", see? He's a man who doesn't change his agenda depending on who he speaks to!" Well, that a bone for me to pick on but I won't as his flip flopping even on his own policies of the past is a matter of public record. What still remains to be said is exactly how he will create jobs and this is just one example. Perhaps he is just waiting for the other Simons to tell him what to say....

So Much To Choke On...

The last week has been wrought with unbelievable events. Sandusky's interview in which he practically admits being drawn to sexual encounters with young boys will probably be introduced in court. I honestly cannot see how he could ever be acquitted. I wonder though when will this can of snakes be opened so the head people at Penn State that seemed to have dragged their feet on investigating allegation can be pinched to the point of public squirming. Let us hope justice prevails. I have to admit though if were selected for that jury I would already have made up my mind and also wonder how many jurors are of the same mindset. Of course it would not be justice according to some but it would deliver just deserts. So is this case a matter of justice or just deserts for someone the whole country hates? Then there's THAT REPORTER that disrespected President Obama during his press conference. There's a lot of that going around too. Disrespect for the President and his attorney general, Mr. Holder. Supposed hearings are blatant attempts to promote the right wing agenda. It might be because there is the feeling within the right general wing contingent that a majority of people are on their side. These are the people that comprised "The silent Majority" many years back and now they have become vocal. I am reduced to yelling at Seamus's Abuser every time I see a clip of him talking to people. You see he spouts platitudes but never a real plan and the people cheer him on choosing to be ignorant- choosing to not see that he WILL NOT REPRESENT THEIR INTERESTS!!!! Yet people will go to listen to him deliver speeches that in my college public speaking classes would have yielded an "F" so I wonder what is wrong with people that cannot see he will never be their savior? The answer may be simply that these people have thrown away their possible intelligence in favor of giving in to their darker, baser emotions-racism. Few were the commentators that took Bush's policies by the horns and told it like it. But try this on for size: Bush (The Shrub as I have always called him) holds the record for middle of the night executive orders and although the right would eat President alive I believe this is the tool he needs to use to push through those issues that have been stalled in Congress. Do President Obama. PLEASE DO IT! Lt the right choke on Executive Orders? ...And please...because I am tired of screaming at the TV...can someone just SHUT ROMNEY UP!

When Hell Freisses Over!

So some people think Santorum supporter Freiss's aspirin remark was just a joke?

There is something rotten here and those that toss misogyny around as if it will change anything within the mind of majority Americans (including a majority of Republicans)in actuality know better. These ANGRY WHITE KNOW! Why else is money being tossed in the ring to the extent that it will continue to be? Super Pacs I don't believe really care what the morality issue is here. They only care about who will pander to their interests. So these morality plays are just to get the unwitting/racist/misogynistic/narrow minded and poorly informed people on board. Cloaked under the cape of religion, Witch Hunts are afoot. Again. And, again against women!

But this really behooves the compounding issues. From personhood laws, to voter ID laws geared to eliminating millions of democratic leaning voters to Seamus's abusive owner saying there are safety nets and charitable organizations--blah, blah, BLAH the underlying issue is all about rights. It's about the right of women to make decisions about her body. It's about the have nots having the power to vote for THEIR INTERESTS. It's about putting state mandates about Gay Marriage in the manure pile where it belongs because Gay Marriage is a CIVIL RIGHT. End of story. In fact all these issues are about CIVIL RIGHTS. States' Rights means a state can have laws contrary to Federal law! It means some states could make it illegal for Black, women and Gays to even have the vote! It's about freedom. Freedom for women to make decisions about their bodies, the freedom to not have one's rights to vote undermined and the freedom to be an equal member of this country whether you are a minority, a woman or Gay!

Sadly, there are some that are falling for the smoke and mirrors ploy but polls are very encouraging in that most Americans simply do not agree. As the GOP keeps talking the President Obama and democrats are gaining ground. It should be a major sweep except for the fact that the GOP is gaining points as it gets, state by state voter ID laws that just might PREVENT a majority of these Americans, state by state, to even have the opportunity to vote. I hear RIGGED offstage....

Show Us The MONEY (Trail)!!!!

Dear Romney:

As I mentioned in my recent blog about THE DOG DAYS OF SEAMUS, I no longer feel obligated to grace you with the prefix "Mr."

However that does not mean I will not give you another generous portion of my mind!

Succinctly put: SHOW US YOUR MONEY TRAIL for Pete's Sake! Everyone screamed and screamed for proof of President Obama's citizenship and yet you are balking at showing how much in taxes YOU habitually pay?

Oh, wait. That's right you are going to release your April filing. Hum. Not previous years. Hum. ...And this is why? Perhaps it's because you have already told your tax person to claim a higher tax rate?

As for creating jobs here why are you employing bankers on the Cayman Islands? Triple hum. Foot tapping now. Eyes rolling now. Flip flopping and tax readjusting is there ANY truth forthcoming in the foreseeable future?

Looks like you are keeping your tax history tightly under warps...with more protective covering than you gave Seamus!

The Dog Days of Seamus

By now we all know about Romney's love of dogs! As an animal lover I am appalled! His claims about how Seamus loved this is nothing more than personification with little knowledge or love for dogs at all.

Firstly, it is common instinct for dogs to love their "dens" and dens are very helpful for dogs that suffer separation anxiety. You see it nurtures the primordial nature of canines to back when they were wild and, as a training/comfort zone, there is nothing wrong with employing it for emotional security of the dog.

Now this is what happened. They all embarked on a twelve hour road trip with Seamus in his kennel strapped to the top of the station wagon because there was no room for him inside. Wait. I guess this is where Romney style economics comes in. With all his money was he just tooo cheap to rent a larger vehicle so that the dog could be with the rest of the family?

It is also unhealthy for a dog's eyes to be exposed to constant wind which is why it is recommended that windows be opened a little at the top when traveling with dogs. In addition the speed with which the car was going what was the wind chill factor? What about rest stops? Apparently this was not "productive" to efficiency because Seamus had gotten diarrhea which dripped onto the window. Romney (no more "Mr." for you, you beast!)pulled into a gas station and hosed the window and the dog down and then put the dog back into the kennel to be riding, dripping wet, at highway speeds.

No wonder you can't tell a corporation from a person when you treat your supposedly beloved pet in such a barbaric manner! I guess these are the values you taught your children too...that animals are commodities and when inconvenient it is okay to put them in the dead letter bin. HUMPH!

No matter what you say you are an awful human being. I thought so before but am convinced of it now and don't think animal lovers don't vote! We are part of the "fringe" you need to fear: animal loving, fair minded citizens! Now. Where is your tax return? The dead letter bin?
