GOP: Close The Door On The Way Out

I remember this time four years ago, I thought that there could not be a more lopsided presidential race.
After all, Grandpa McCain had just picked an unvetted former swimsuit model to be his running mate, on top of coming off of the worse White House administration in the countries history.
The GOP was in a death spiral.
Then two years later, the fringe lunatics of the party managed to seize power in the mid terms, exploiting the fears of racists and imbeciles that the evil black man was going to take their guns from them and force them to marry a queer.
With that bunch or morons calling the shots, the GOP ran one helluva wacky ass clown car of a primary finally having to settle on a Massachusetts liberal they hated almost as much as they hated Obama. 
This lopsidedness makes 08 laughable.
Basically all Obama has to do now is just sit back and watch the implosion.
And that is what is happening with the GOP. Imploding. Ever seen a movie with a submarine having a hull breach? The vessel crumples in on itself.
That is what the Romney campaign looks like. It is not a slow motion train wreck as depicted by so many. It is a massive turd that has collapsed from its own weight and is now drying in the sun. A smudge of shit that is so massive, that people can not help but point and laugh while simultaneously being shocked and disgusted.
Sad really. While I was intending to give my vote to Obama, I was hoping that he would have to fight for it. Or at least act like he had to break a sweat to get it.
There is stuff to be critical of Obama and his first term. Unfortunately, he doesn't have to address that now. 
The GOP couldn't or wouldn't focus on an honest debate. Instead they elevated idiocy like the Birthers and tin foil hat wearing nutjobs to a national level and ran with that.
That was the only way they saw to be able to keep from having to pay their fair share of taxes.
Republican Party... It has been a hoot, but you won't be missed. Well, maybe a little... Like a toothache.

The Fallacy of the False Equivalency

Distinctions drawn by the mind are not necessarily equivalent to distinctions in reality. Thomas Aquinas

You hear it all the time: "There is no difference between the parties". "Both parties are crooked". Blah, blah, fucking blah.
This mentality isn't something that accidentally came into being. No fucking way. It is a planned strategy by the Republican Party to create voter apathy and to either reduce voter turnout or send otherwise Democratic voting citizens to a third party.
I find it extremely disturbing that otherwise intelligent individuals are spouting this horseshit.
Take the whole Ron Paul thing for example. Here is a person who is running for president on the Republican ticket and has about a much chance of winning as I do.
Paul has managed to capture the attention of many people by promising to end the Forever Wars, legalizing pot, eliminating the Fed, (or anything federal other than the Pentagon) and hosts of other libertarian issues, some as looney as a Warner Bros. cartoon, some valid.
I know some very intelligent and progressive people who voted for Obama and are now upset because they didn't get a pony or something and now are going to throw their vote away by writing in for Ron Paul because in their minds, Obama is no different than Romney.
Don't get me wrong, President Obama has disappointed me greatly on many things, but to jump to the conclusion that he is do different than Romney is absurd beyond words.
While Obama has been less than satisfactory on labor issues, Romney has made it abundantly clear that he hates unions, enjoys firing people, and believes that corporations are people. Can you seriously say this is no different than Obama?
Romney has made his wealth (other than what he was born into) by taking over American manufacturing plants, closing them down and moving the work to China.
He would be an terrifying disaster to the working class of America. Maybe even on par with the Bastard Regan and the Idiot Bush. Maybe even worse.
Think of the Supreme Court justices this man would nominate. Do you honestly think that their would be no differences between those nominees?
During the 2000 campaign, Karl Rove pushed the "no difference" bullshit.
Look what happened. A significant portion of the American people actually didn't think their was any difference between the most liberal D.C. politician in years and a Texas fucktard that was so conservative, he made Regan look leftist.
How did that turn out for us?
Stop this false equivalency bullshit.
It is easy to call them on it. Very easy.
When they start their "I'm voting for Ron Paul, because their is no difference in the partys anymore" nonsense, ask them if so, why is Ron Paul a fucking Republican then?
Hell, at least when that shit was being pulled in 2000, Ralph Nader was a member of the Green Party.
Ask them, how come this shit ALWAYS favors the Republicans? All things being equal, the Democrats should get a bone occasionally, don't you think?
Lets face the fucking facts;
In January of 2013, it will either be Mitt Romney or Barrak Obama being sworn in as president. No Ron Pauls, no Ralph Naders, no magical unicorns. Get over your hurt feelings and vote to keep the corporate bastards out, or at least put the brakes on them.
Obama may not have given you your pony, but that is nothing compared to the horse dick size fucking your ass will get if Magic Underpants gets the job.
Think about it.

Oils Well That Ends Well.

With the bastards in charge of gas prices "speculating", we are now seeing the GOP fucktards using the high prices in an attempt to damage President Obama in the upcoming election.
Obama probably won't be hurt too bad by their feeble attempts, because hey... look who they are!
But Obama could use this opportunity to really put a STFU on them by one simple challenge.
Now think about it.
The GOP and their zombies are still on the fucking "drill, baby, drill" kick. The manufactured rage over the stalling of the Tar Sands pipe line project, and the perceived notion that Obama is stifiling oil drilling has got them so worked up that they, alone, could probably end the energy problem if they could just find a way to bottle all the methane they are spewing.
The fact that NONE of the oil that is slated to come from the Canadian tar sands will be sold in America, nor any that may come from ANWR for that matter.
Here is what Obama could do to put a massive Shut The Fuck Up on them.
Make a challenge to congress to write legislation that says any oil drilled in America or is piped through America has to be sold in America. Promise to sign it into law with great fanfare.
Now, you and I both know that even if this were to happen, it would not solve any energy problems here. America hogs 25% of the Earths energy resources and can only contribute 2 to 5% back. But that is not what this is about. This is about putting a STFU on some loudmouth fucktards.
After making the challenge, Obama need only respond to any high gas price critics by saying give me the legislation to sell only in America and I will open up the drilling.
Oil companies will not support this because they are all having hard ons about selling it to China, so by default the GOP bastards will not support it, so of course it will never pass. The creative ways of listening them try to spin it as why they want to sell Americas oil to the fucking Commies would be very entertaining.
At lease two things could come from it:
1. It would educate many people on what drilling for oil really means. People would see that oil companies are really just there to make profit and could give a flying fuck about the American consumer.
2. Obama would have the mandate to push for alternative energy sources. Whenever an opponent to it speaks up, all he has to say is, "Where's my bill, Bitch?" Keep the bastards on the defense why they want to sell Americas oil to the Commies.
However, there is nothing in Obama's history that shows that he would do anything like that. I guess it would be to mean to make the Republicans put up or shut the fuck up, but it is a good thought.
Space Trucker... Out.

A Republican Christmas Meal

In the spirit of the season and current events, I have came up with a proposal that we Americans should consider adopting for our Christmas feast.
I think this is the best way to show compassion as it does recognize that there are people of lesser means who will be going hungry, but without putting an unfair hardship on the wealthy citizens and corporations who have worked so very hard for what they have and shouldn't be punished by having to help feed the lazy and unwashed.
This scenario is based on current economic and tax statistics. Tweaking it for fluctuations in your family's economic stage may be required.
As the families get together for the meal, we would set up various stages and sections for the loved ones to sit with each other.
Starting at one end, the family members with the most wealth would sit together. This would probably be maybe 2 people. The majority of the middle income family would sit in the rest of the chairs starting with the upper middle class sitting closest to the wealthy members and the lower middle class sitting at the other end.
The poor and unemployed will, of course, sit on the floor.
Before you start criticizing this setup, finish reading as it will prove to be the fairest way for ALL members of the family to enjoy a meal together regardless of economic stature, and do it with out punishing the wealthy, who obviously have worked so very hard for what they have.
Ninety eight percent of the food will be set at the end with the wealthy people are. This may require some creative ideas to place it all there, perhaps with stackable Lazy Susan's, or maybe utilizing the cleaner, less repulsive, poor family members as furniture by having them on their hands and knees around the table with food placed on their backs.
This actually will help their self-esteem, as now they are feeling like they are of worth and are contributing to the meal in their own meager way.
If you do decide to make use of your less fortunate family members in such away, be sure not to place the hot items on their backs without using a pot holder or perhaps a towel underneath the food container to keep from burning them.
It would be a sad for the gravy to be spilled and cause the less fortunate family member to not only suffer from minor burns but also the shame of the public scolding. Having to tell them that is why they are poor because they can't even do anything right, could possibly cause a minor lull in the holiday cheer.
With the vast majority of the food sitting in front of the wealthy family members, in this case 2, the other two percent of the food will be shared by the rest of the family members.
After the blessing thanking God for this great bounty and being blessed with having all the loved ones together on this joyous day recognizing the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, everyone can start digging in.
The 2 people with 98% of the food around them will obviously start shoveling it in as fast as they can, so they can eat as much as possible before they become filled up.
The rest of the family seated around the table will begin eating the 2% of the bounty, with the loved ones at the upper end starting first and passing the food down the line.
We can trust each person to take what is a fair share and to ensure as not to take to much so as the everyone can get a portion. The size of the portions, of course, based on how much the family member is worth.
At the upper end of the table, the wealthy family members have became gorged and are grudgingly letting the remaining food be passed down the table.
During the gorging, some food missed their mouths as a feeding frenzy can be messy at times. Fortunately this ill aimed food fell to the floor to the grateful poor and unemployed.
This whole process is best known as “Trickle Down”.
Making sure that the wealthy and upper class have all the food they want, will ensure a steady stream (trickle down) towards the poor.
After all, the rich can't eat it all, and something will have to be done with the leftovers before it spoils. And it isn't good to give table scraps to pedigree pets anyway.
History has shown that the upper class has always shown compassion and generosity in treating the downtrodden, and what better way to do that than showing it during the birthday of Christ?
Needless to say their will probably be some bleeding heart liberal family member, perhaps that bothersome brother-in-law, who will protest that it is unfair and everyone should have access to equal portions.
You can easily quieten down this nonsense by calling him a Communist, Socialist, fag lover, or numerous other names.
Ask him why does he hate America, and why does he hate rich people so much and want to punish them? After all they have worked so very, very hard for what they have.
Most of the family members will vote for eating the Christmas meal this way, even the unemployed and poor because one day, they hope to be able to sit at that end of the table too.
Until then they will gladly let the wealthy trickle down on them and they will like it.
One day maybe they can be wealthy too.
It is the American dream.
Keep on dreaming.
