Are we watching the GOP implode

Wow seems the 'conservatives' really do want the moderates out of the GOP. With Dierdre Scozzafava, backing out of the race in northern New York. seems the Conservatives may just get their wish. But will this help the GOP or hurt them? I say it will hurt them. Seems the conservatives think they will actually be able to increase their numbers by being "more conservative" With this type of thinking and the total disregard for the actual elected officials in their own party calling for more moderates, seems the "Conservatives" are hell bent in destroying the GOP. With out the moderates the "Conservatives" are an even smaller party. I guess with the discontent in Washington right now "conservatives are thinking they can actually take back the house and senate, but with more and more people abandoning the GOP and going Independent, this could be the nail of death for the GOP. The Conservatives seem to think that they are the Country and have failed to realize that President Obama was elected overwhelmingly by the country. I guess it broke their brains to see a Dem not only win the election but by a large margin, even larger than Reagan's win over carter in 1980. The conservatives seem to think they can win both houses back with the fly over part of the country and win elections with out the north east or west coast, but that is literally impossible, a majority of the country live in these areas and they will have to be won to take not only congress but the white house as well. The Conservatives in my view will more than likely become a regional party, having a strong hold in the south, but not really any where else for a while. The conservatives will have to learn the hard way that in order to be the party in power, you have to be inclusive in your party, if you make your party one type of thinking and only one type your party is doomed to fail.

Roger Ailes and Fox Noise Race Baiting

H1N1, hmmm.. ever thought of this?

So, I've been following the H1N1 issue and all the problems they are having getting the vaccine to the masses. Many are up in arms because the vaccine isn't being made fast enough or distributed quickly enough, even conservatives. When the cure does arrive to a particular part of the country, everyone lines up for a shot. Conservatives, liberals, anglo, hispanic, black, chrisitian, muslim.... The list goes on and on. But, wait a sec. If the government is making sure that a cure for a pandemic is being provide for EVERYBODY (wait for it).... Wouldn't that be considered National Health Care? Think about the hypocrisy of the 'conservative' right. They get their panties in a wad over an OPTION that is being proposed, yet they curse the government when a vaccine isn't readily available.

Ever thought of that?

Carry on.

The Sarah Palin Factor

In northern New York, Sarah Palin and the "Conservatives" what ever that means, are running against the GOP? you read that right, Sarah Palin and the "conservatives" are running against the GOP and have started their own party!!!! The party right now consist of Thompson, Santorium, Pawlenty, Palin to name but a few.
Seems they want to use the northern New York race to make a national statement and teach the GOP a lesson. Well they just may get their wish. This Northern New York seat has been held by a Republican for decades, in fact this is one of those "safe" republican seats. What the "Conservatives" have not figured out yet, is that they will probably SPLIT THE REPUBLICAN VOTE! Now for me that is all good, since I would love to see a Democrat walk into that "safe" seat if even for one term, because of the division of the GOP. I mean for the "Conservatives" to give a "safe" seat to the dems, would be a beautiful thing and would probably add to the death stumble of the conservative movement as we know it today.

Is there Really such a thing as a Republican Fiscal conservative?

This is a question I have pondered for a while. I keep hearing the term "Fiscal Conservative" but do they really exist? Or are they more like Sasquatch and nothing more than a myth. I know I know, they all praise Reagan as being the "conservative god" but he really wasn't a "Fiscal Conservative" not even close. With some basic elementary school research, you will find that Reagan actually was the first to leave a large deficit. With military spending and the asinine "Star wars program" that sunk billions into the pockets of the war machine. He literally left the largest deficit of all President's combined before him, including FDR with his programs. One thing Reagan did figure out and "fiscal conservatives" will try to deny, is that you have to have taxes to run the government, so simple a five year old could figure it out.
In fact Reagan had eleven tax increases, that is right eleven of them, he had to balance the books. Your constantly hearing from the right wing that, "Democrats want large government", and "Democrats are the tax and spend party". But didn't Bush and the "Fiscal Conservatives" in congress get us into the current fix we are in. With cutting taxes on the top 2% in a time of war, well that was down right stupid and a huge mistake. If you look at it like this, Bush cut taxes to the tune of about 1.3 trillion from our treasury to give to the top 2% while at the same time took us to war in Iraq and Afghanistan to the tune of another 1.7 trillion dollars. That is 3 trillion dollars in debt, so tell me, what in the hell is so "Fiscal Conservative" about that?
I know I know young padawan, Bush was "Not" a Conservative. But explain to me why, for the past eight years and especially the last four years of his presidency you said nothing? Nothing at all and in fact you supported him in his escapades with the deficit and declared we "had to do it for our safety", when it comes to big government I view it as what it is.

Democrats want large government to help the people of the United States.
Republicans want large government to wage war.

Any way you look at it, we as a nation want large government.
Some want it to help create a better life for all.
Some want it for the procurement of death.
So tell me what side do you fall on?

The reason Evan Bayh is against the public option

When are we as a Democratic party and as a nation in general going to stop electing these guys. With the simplest of research it is easy to find why Evan Bayh is against a public option in Health Care, his wife is being paid very well to keep the public option out of the current bill. Seems our country is no longer "we the people" but "we the insurance companies". With Lieberman and Bayh both having ties, wedding ties to the insurance companies I feel it is time that we as a nation and as a Democratic party make sure these type of politicians do not get elected any more. For Bayh and Lieberman to vote against the will of their states and its constituents, is well having a large set, may be a dumb set but a very LARGE SET! Lieberman's state of Connecticut, is in fact in favor of a public option by a large majority of 71%, and to come out now and say your going to "filibuster" with the republicans? what in the hell is that!!! This will be the first time in history that some one in a caucus will filibuster that same caucus, I say boot him. As for Bayh, he is another one that is showing his only vested interest in the senate is his own pocket book. He does not give a damn about his constituents and with any luck, in the next election, we will see his removal. If your going to vote like a republican mister blue dog guy, then we should have a real republican in that seat Senator Bayh.

Fired for GOD Pin

OK Social "conservatives" let the howling begin. In West Palm Beach, Trevor Keezor was released from his job for wearing a "one nation under GOD" pin on his uniform. Now where the howling will be coming from is the right and the right will want to "boycott" Home Depot and will want Home Depot closed, due to the "religious persecution" they will perceive as happening here. You would think that "free market conservatives" would be coming down on the side of Home Depot, but I predict in stead they will abandon their "Free Market" principles and jump for the Religious Rights idea on how this country should be run. One pattern I am starting to see with "Conservatives" is the lack of actually standing by what you supposedly believe in and preach. You will hear "free market conservatives" say "let the markets sort it out, but once something like this happens, trends in the Conservative party will show they will want to start legislation to protect this person, even if it is in a private business. I find the ironic part of this story to be that Home Depot is based in Atlanta Georgia, the Conservative south, lets watch and see how Fox news and the social conservative,s handle this one.
