Let's See If Obama Really Gets It ..

25. January 2011

When Obama tried one of his feeble attempts at defending his policies, just after the election, he was shouted down by the opposition who said that he still does not "get it". Well, I agree about the not getting it part, but obviously I do NOT agree about what he does not get. If he's really serious about getting re-elected then there are a few overdue statements he has to make during the state of the union today. I agree this is not the place for political campaigning, but it is the place to talk about his past record and it is his last chance to set it straight.

1) Refute "Spending Binge" Allegations Strongly and Defend Smart Government Spending and Investments
   i) Stimulus spending was necessary and a verycarefully planned investment, which worked beyond epxectations, and not doing it may have led to economic devastation of horrifying proportions.
  ii) Without goverment investments America would not be the country it is. You think if Eisenhower had decided that "spend as you go"is the only option, we would still not be able to drive across the country by car
  iii) Overriding Republican focus on deficits is plain wrong in a weak economy. The focus should be on reviving the economy and creating more jobs

 2) Convince Listeners That a Focus On "Jobs and Economy" Was Always His Priority And Will Continue To Be
    i) Continuing from the point above, if he had heeded republican advise and not gone for stimulus spending, not only would the financial markets have been destroyed by now, we would have 3.3 million more people unemployed. The stimulus not only resulted in more jobs, but it also included many smart investments which have paid off stupendous returns, such as General Motors and Citibank
    ii) The healthcare plan was not a "distraction" like it was made out to be. It is very much linked to the economy and jobs

3) Convince Listeners That "Deficit Management" Is Always On His Mind, And How Republican/Tea Party Policies Actually Increase The Deficits

4) Continue From Above and Provide Compelling Points of Healthcare package again, Specifically How it Reduces the Deficits

5) Advise Listeners That He is Willing To Work With Opposition But It Is Also Their Duty To Offer Specific Counter Proposals Instead of Just Saying "No"

I will try to complete this article soon, but a lot of fillers can be extracted from one of my previous articles here.

Krusgman does it again .. "The War on Logic"

18. January 2011

Kudos to Krugman for being brave enough to state the truth. However, what Krugman’s comes close to saying (click link below for his article) but avoids mentioning explicitly in this article is that the Republicans/Tea Partiers are so devious that they are propagating arguments that they themselves know are plain distortions of the truth and blatant lies. They are just doing it for political gain (which Krugman refers to politely as “they just want some numbers and charts to wave at the people and the press”), and they don’t give a damn that they are destroying their country in the process (Read how over here). To top it all, these traitors who are sucking the life out of the economy and the country, talk about American exceptionalism. Talk about exceptional betrayal!

Civility won't fix it if they stll hate the other side's policies

13. January 2011

Obama made a great speech and he fulfilled his duty as a president by making the ordinary man reflect on his actions and follow a path of accomodation instead of intolerance. However, this utopia will be shortlived if the other side still is still blinded by the incessant brainwashing that has been happening over these years, and continue to think that the people in power are destroying the country (whereas the people in power and their supporters return the favor and mindset by railing against them without bothering to correct their despicable distortions).

Whether political propoganda was partly responsible for making Jared Loughner hate the government and pushed him to act is a moot point now, the point is that even perfectly sane people have been frothing at the mouth, especially at those townhalls and tea party gatherings. If those people haven't gone past breaking windows and sending threatening letters or letter bombs, then there is high likelihood of somebody doing something more drastic "in order to save the country" (or whatever other delusion they may have). If so many educated and world-wise people can fall under the spell of tea party and get deluded into thinking the stimulus was just pork barrel spending (it saved the country from total devastation), the health care is law about socialism or 'death panels', and that deficits are the biggest problem our country faces and it is what is causing the economy and jobs to stagnate, then the insane nuts are not our only problem.

The problem here is not just the tea party anger stokers, who resort to the lowest of lies to vilify their opponent, it is also the people in power who do not make any attempts to correct the horribly wrong impression and understanding that the 'brainwashed' have of their policies and make them understand the truth and expose the liars. It is the duty of the government to educate the citizens of their policies and explain their actions, but apparently that is above the dignity of people in power. Read my posts below for more details on this garguantan oversight of part of the Obama administration (and other democrats) that is partly responsible for the atmosphere of political hatred in this country.

Watch out for more on this topic, and how Obama can learn from the bravery of Giffords in this regard (and from Christie too).

The Biggest Mistake that Obama Made ... It's Not The Tax Cut Deal

15. December 2010

Let’s stop focusing on the intricacies of the tax cut package for a while. Obama’s mistake all along has not been any of his policies, in fact he has probably done the best that you could hope for by any president. Right from his first six months when he pulled out all stops to revive a dangerously tottering economy (and was successful) by passing an superbly crafted stimulus package, despite the howls from the tea party poopers. His admin came up with innovative ideas like cash for clunkers and housing tax credit to try various methods to provide a boost for the economy and all their efforts did work spectacularly as the economy starting going into growth mode within a year of his taking office and the stock market doubled since the passing of the stimulus package. Most Americans cannot even begin to fathom what the situation would be if Obama hadn’t taken the right steps to revive confidence in the financial markets and institutions.

 

But, he failed to defend it aggressively when the opposition tried to cover up the progress that he had made and tried to knock him down along with the economy by scaremongering on deficits and national debt. He failed to defend the healthcare package enough, which was a mixed bag but definitely a step in the right direction as something had to be done about the rising premiums. He didn’t fight the misleading distortions fabricated by the tea party that the stimulus package was a bailout and he didn’t castigate them for talking down the economy by haring on their ‘out of the blue’ and ill-timed concern for deficits (when the economy is in a depression? Common!).

 

Maybe his thinking was that it would be best as president to stay out of mudfights and be ‘presidential’. Alternatively, maybe he thought that it would be best to if the congress is divided, as it would put some of the blame on the republicans and force them to walk their talk and cast unpopular votes. He did campaign hard in the last month before the election but it was obviously too late and too little, and there was still not enough of a defence of his policies. That was a big letdown for the votes who got him in and for the voters who wanted to vote for his party again in 2010, as it is his duty, and a duty towards those supporting his policies and defending him, to educate the nation about his policies and actions and also point out the vicious untruths being spread out there to brainwash the unaware voters (to their credit they did a good job, because suddenly everybody was concerned about the ‘deficit’). Hell, it IS his duty to tell the American people who is lying and who is fighting for them, for the liars did not blink while trying their best to destroy the very economy that he was fighting so hard to rebuild. It IS his duty to tell after the elections that he was more concerned about the long-term deficits that his two-faced opposition and that is why he was not supporting extending the tax cuts for the rich and that was why he came up with a brand new healthcare plan. He has been working on the same issues that the voters found him lacking on, but obviously he was not able to communicate to them. That should have been message… of course, he did try a weak defense while admitting the ‘shellacking;, but immediately backed down when there were headlines saying ‘Doesn’t Obama Get it Even Now?’.

 

His policies cost the party in the elections, but he still had one more chance, which he didn’t take and that was the biggest mistake of his career. Instead of taking the opportunity after the election to strongly defend his policies and denounce the misinformation that many voters had about his policies due to the lies of the opposition. He should have said the things mentioned above and should have told the votes in no uncertain terms that the short-term economic revival and long-term deficits are key focuses for him and he will not accept any proposals from the Republicans which will derail the progress he has made on both.

 

He should have hit back hard when they were throwing baseless allegations at him that he was not focusing on job growth and instead was focusing on healthcare and 'big government'. He should have left no doubt in people's minds that his stimulus package had job creation (which is associated with economic growth) at the core, and included many proposals for governement investments that would not only add many jobs but would would also improve America's failing infrastrucuture (killing two birds with one stone). He should have emphasized his growth initiatives like 'cash for clunkers' and home buyer's tax cut which helped the economy and created more jobs, and that government investments are necessary in such disastrous economic times. When there is no defence, then the prosecution gets a walkover even if their allegations are bucketfuls of horse excretions. Now all that mud will stick to him forever and any gains that have been made by his proposals and policies over the past two years and the new tax cuts will get attributed to the republicans, for they will take credit for passing that law and helping the economy turn the corner. He would be though of as a clueless guy who focused on the wrong things and pushed his socialist agenda, till the republicans won the house and knockedsome sense into him, whereas the republicans/tea party were just talking down the economy all this while and trying to reverse the economic progress as they did not want Obama to suceed (and the country be damned).

 

Instead, he got the wrong advise that he should take this opportunity to show the voters that ‘he gets it’ and show his willingness to move towards the center and win back the moderates. So he meekly parroted the tea party quacks, and abandoned any defence of his policies, and immediately started pushing out the proposals of his deficit panel within a few weeks of the election. Heck, the panel was set a long time ago and instead of using that as an opportunity to tell the public that the panel was set up long before these butter brains knew what that meant, as he was always concerned about long-term deficits and that they are ready with their findings now. However, his lack of any spine in standing up for his work made him look like a person who had no clue that the deficits were an important factor to be considered for long-term economic stability and that the election of the republicans and the hammering of the message by the tea party finally made him see the light. His quick willingness to negotiate with the republicans and pass the tax cut package again sheds him in the same light and the credit for retaining the tax cut and all the good middle class benefits will be snatched by the republicans. They will again claim this step as something Obama had to take because they took the house and they forced him to take the right steps for the economy.

 

Obama is probably happy that he has the votes of the republicans on record that he can use against them, but he doesn’t realize that because he did not stand up and educate the American public about the good that he has done, which is now bringing fruit, the republicans will claim the credit for the recovery gaining steam over the next two years (thanks to Obama's policies) as they will point out that a lot of it happened after they took over the house and pushed Obama to take the right steps.

 

Not setting the record straight before the election, or even after it, is the biggest mistake that Obama has made so far. He will find out that the hard way that it is very difficult to change the hard-set perception that many people now have of him, and lost credibility (even that lost due to lies) cannot be regained easily and when a lot of mud gets thrown at you then some it does stick unless you make an effort to clean it up.

Did Obama lose the election deliberately?

18. November 2010

 

There is no way that somebody as smart as Obama could not envision the surefire path to decimate the tea-party and dunk the tea bags in hot water. The blatant lies that the tea party was propogating, right from day one, can be exposed very easily by anybody who’s smarter than a fifth grader. I’ve seem his 2008 campaign and they did not let mud stick on them for too long and let it rip at the opposition if need be. I understand things have changed and he is in power, so he has to be more accomodating and also needs to keep relationships intact to get support for his policies. It must not have been too difficult to figure though, what he needs to do to win. It was way to obvious for too many, and for his seasoned campaign managers, that the despicable distortions of the right had to be debunked before too many people started believing that to be the truth. I’ve been laying out what he needed to do to win this election, in my previous articles, and I can’t believe there aren’t others who found it so obvious.

 

1) Defend the stimulus – how the economy was saved from disaster

  •        How it is necessary to have an economic revival to reduce deficits, and a short-term stimulus is very important for reviving the economy
  •        How the bill is not a bailout and how it involves investment in America’s infrastructure which also helped save 3 mil jobs
  •        Most major economists agree that stimulus was required, and in fact many of them say that it was too less

 

2) Point out opposition hollowness and duplicity on deficits and the economy

  •        They want to cut taxes for rich yet keep shouting about the deficits, neither are they willing to admit cutting spending on any specific item
  •        How an economic revival is a prerequisite for deficits and how the repubs don’t have any plan for reviving the economy and getting the jobs back

 

3) Defend Healthcare and again point out hollowness of the tea party/GOP again.

  •         They don’t have any plan to fix the increasing premiums, at least I have a plan even though I admit it’s not perfect
  •        Republicans are just saying what the big healthcare companies want to hear, as they have received huge donations from big corporations. The truth is they have been bought out by the big pharma and big insurance companies and that is the only interest thye have in mind even though they put on this facade of foaming at the mouth due to the 'government takeover' of healthcare. Hello, this is plan based on the policies one of your most conservative brethren, Mitt Romney, so pipe down you fake foamers.

 

4) Point out hypocrisy on financial regulation – wall street nearly bought down the market and the country, and the republicans don’t want to ensure that it doesn’t happen again. Spreading blatant lies again about the bill promising bailout for companies, instead the bill provides measures to end taxpayer bailouts.

 

5) Point out all the steps and policies for economic revival taken up and how the steps are slowly taking effect, markets are up by 50%. He has to say "I understand jobs are not coming back completely, but we have been through a major recessions and it will take some more time to come completely out of the woods. Republicans have no plan, they are the party of no and they just want to stop any progress as they do not want the current administration to succeed at any cost, even if that means destroying their own country’s economy".

 

The fact that he did not say these things or even run any kind of campaign, shows that either he is too dumb or he is playing a very deliberate and seemingly (to him) smart game. The advantages of a divided congress is that he can share blame with the republicans and force them to cast votes that he can use against them later on. He’ll play nice with them for another year to get some of his agenda moving, and as soon as 2012 arrives he’ll take off the kid gloves. 

 

This may work, but by not defending himself against any of the accusations fired by the republicans and not cleaning his sullied reputation he is making the classic mistake that most politicians continue to make and yet nobody ever learns from them (such as Kerry and senior Bush to name a couple). You CANNOT let the opposition destroy your credibility and your image. Bush won in 2004 because they were successful is casting Kerry as a ‘french poodle’, who was wimpy and waffly. By not standing up strongly for his policies and actions and not defending them vigorously against the baseless attacks of the right, he has let the mud stick on him and has let the lies become the truth for too many people. If there are accusations flying fast and thick from one side and if there is no response from the other side, then there is a presumption of guilt. Once a perception about a perception becomes very strong, it cannot be shaken off no matter how much you try later. You got to fight the wrong accusations before they become the accepted truth. People respect a person who stands up for himself and believes in his actions. By 2012, even if the people realize the disgusting truth about the tea party, they would be too disappointed in Obama’s lack of interest in fighting for the truth in 2010 and will look for someone who can fight harder for himself/herself.

 

He had a sliver of opportunity after the election to point out the discrepancies and blatant lies on which the republicans and tea party had won the election, but he again got cowed down by those very same stupid voices saying ’He still doesn’t get why he lost the election. He’s is denial …’. He should have had the guts to say ‘I lost the election because a lot of lies were passed off as the truth, and I did not do a good job of correcting these distortions’. He has very little time to change course and start showing spine or else we’re looking at a one-term lame duck president.

Too good to check? How about too crooked to care

17. November 2010

 

This article refers to Friedman's article in NY Times - Reading this article by Friedman on how Anderson Cooper had a coup by busting the claims of the tea party leaders and the GOP that President Obama was spending $200 mil per day for his India trip, one thing that strikes me is how hesitant all these journalists/media people are to reveal the truth. Friedman talks about how the elected reps and right-wing rabble rousers are quoting wrong facts because they did not bother to check the information from apparently 'unknown' and now proved incorrect sources. That is the biggest grandstand since the time the republicans said that they went into Iraq because they assumed the intelligence on WMD to be true. Oh common, are you really smarter than a fifth grader? Even neaderthals like the tea party leaders will know that there is a big difference between 2 and $200 million. If nothing their campaign funding battles would make them aware of what a big amount $200 million is. The talk about using half the navy or whatever is also too ridiculous to explain it by an innocent 'oh, I did not bother to check'.

I think it's time to take the sugar coating out of the coverage on the tea party and show them for vile venomous vipers that they are. There are two kinds of people in this country now, people who know that the lies about Obama's trip expenses were deliberately propogated just to further vilify the president's image, and is just a continuation of the campaign of deception that started after Obama's election, and the other type of people are the people who actually believe it. It is obvious that Cooper and Friedman both know that the lies were deliberately spread by the people mentioned but they are afraid to spell it out in case they get sued or something of that sort. But if they don't have the 'cojones' for that then please don't talk about exemplary journalism. Cooper did a great job by revealing the truth, but if they cannot go all the way and state that it has to be a deliberate distortion then we will do it for them. These lies and deceptions won't cut it anymore for the tea party, for the tsunami of truth will sweep you far away by 2012. Watch the ground under your feet, for it's going to be yanked away from under you very soon.

My response to the tea party

20. October 2010

 

This is a real response to a comment on my blog from a tea party loyalist (read original comment below)

Dear 'Palindrone',

It is kind of amusing to know that you are being pitying me for being clueless and at the same time displaying ‘cluelessness’ of gargantuan proportions. You parrot a lot of ‘Palindrones’ in your comment, like “The Tea Party is about returning power to the people’, ‘We’ve become a land of entitlement’ and ‘tax and spend policy of the government’ etc. etc. without even attempting to answer the simple question ‘What would the party do going forward?”, “How will that revive the economy and bring deficits down”? and most importantly if you tea partiers got riled up by the stimulus (but trillion dollar deficits by Bush are fine with you apparently as you guys didn’t froth at the mouth when that happened) then kindly explain how would you have got the economy out of the devastating tailspin it was in and pulled it out from the vicious cycle caused by the state of panic and loss of confidence, which were threatening to freeze the economy and cause further debilitating losses to the common man. You brainwashed buttheads don’t acknowledge the fact that since the stimulus was passed the economy has come out of a seeming bottomless recession and the stock market has grown by more than 50% in one year after the stimulus. You would shudder to know what would have happened without sane heads in the government who didn’t fall for the politico crap of ‘deficits’, from people already had nagging apprehensions as soon as Obama was elected and jumped at the first criticism that was offered by opportunists such as Palin (common, she had better ideas to revive the economy than the crack team established by the govt?). You soaked in everything these unscrupulous scavengers were saying because you wanted to believe everything they said in the back of your mind and kind of made it into a self-fulfilling prophecy. The stimulus package was extremely well thought out, to revive the crucial financial economy (and continue the damage prevention that Bush started with TARP, a $800 billion package) and also provide more jobs by rebuilding the national infrastructure (sorely needed too). You clueless morons painted that package as a bailout (thanks to the nobel laureate economist Palin) when it was just partly a continuation of Bush’s TARP for financial firms (that part of the stimulus plan that is) and was extremely necessary to keep the nascent recovery alive. Take an economics 101 class if you can’t get it even now. Also, you cannot dispute the fact that the economic growth has been higher since the package and the stock market (which was in the danger of going below 6000 at that point) has recovered strongly. Obviously, it is easy to point out that unemployment hasn’t gone down much and the economy is not roaring but think about how disaster was averted due to the stimulus and how bad things would be without it.

Also, regarding the ‘sick of spending’, ’No more tax and spend’ and the ‘down with deficit’ slogans that your party is shouting from the rooftops, where was this anger when Bush added more than trillion to the deficit with the wars and other bills. Let me give you a quote from your ‘favorite paper’ (you would do good to read this paper and knock some sense into yourself) about the medicare prescription program that was passed the Bush team. “Calculations by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office and other independent fiscal experts show that the $1.1 trillion cost over the next 10 years of the Medicare prescription drug program, which the Republican-controlled Congress adopted in 2003, by itself would add more to the deficit than the combined costs of the bailout, the stimulus and the health care law.” Read about it here. Where was your anger when the Clinton surplus was wiped away and replaced with a trillion plus deficit? That itself shows that the very foundation of your party is based on hypocrisy and opportunism. When there was no other issue to beat down the Obama administration the tea party leaders started working up the crowds about how their country is getting bankrupted by Obama, and boy did you suckers fall for it or what. Did ya wonder brains know that Obama hasn’t raised any taxes so far and has actually provided a payroll tax cut to 95% of the working people? Get your head out of the sand and try to look at the other side of the story for a change instead of falling for every load of horse hooey that the tea party/gop leaders hand down to you.

Regarding the healthcare it would also be good for you morons to realize that we are actually reducing the deficit with this plan and the national cost of not adopting some of reform would be higher, as the insurance costs were spiraling every year. It is a fair debate as to which provisions could have been modified and what should be added/deleted but I don’t remember this explosion of disgust when Mitt Romney passed this plan for Massachusetts. You two-faced hypocrites are accusing Obama of being a socialist for passing a plan that was created by a Republican and no Tea Party leader will admit to that fact when asked. The fact is that something had to be done about healthcare, as the insurance costs were going through the roof, and this was a commendable effort where the deficit from healthcare was being reduced and the number of uninsured decreasing at the same time. There is no perfect plan for this and if you all have a better suggestion then you would have given it by now instead of just bashing a genuine effort.

      submit to reddit

The list of your deception and misleading attacks can go on and on but the bottom line is this, the Obama administration has been trying from the very first day to get the country out of the economic funk, and they have tried many innovative and commendable programs like ‘cash for clunkers’, and ‘tax break for first-time home buyers’ etc. that actually helped to a certain extent. The tea party (parties rather) on the other hand have nothing to offer in terms of concrete policies or alternatives and all they do is froth at the mouth and denounce every genuine attempt by the Obama admin.  Oh btw, the Obama admin also gets this simple fact that the economy has to grow first before the deficits can come down anyway, and just clamping down monetarily is not going to do that and will only raise the deficits further. So there!

The Barton Boo-Boo

24. June 2010

Kudos to the Democrats and the Obama team. For once, they did what they should be doing every day. Hit back hard at the republicans and tea partiers, and give them a dose of the same medicine that they made the democrats/Obama drink every day since he took office. I remember seeing an article in the Washington Post about how the Obama team hit back at Barton because they want to get political mileage out of it and help them in November. OMG ... eff the ucking course they were extracting every bit of political mileage out of it. Why the heck would they not? There is a bi...iig difference between the mileage the extracted and the slimy tactics of the gop/teeps (short for tea partiers) though ... Barton made a real comment about 'shakedown' and that comment did reflect his views (and probably many big business fans in the gop), though he was foreced to apologize later. In fact Rush 'out on a limb' baugh is trying to slime the $20 billion fund as a sinister ploy by the Obama admin to distribute money to ACORN .... boy, I tell ya, with a base like the one the GOP/Tea Party has, you can make them buy anything ... just suggest it long enough and they get hypnotized into believing it (because they want to ..). Almost makes me wonder if we should have a minimum IQ as a criteria for citizenship of this country. But I wouldn't fault the brainwashed as much as the washer-boys .. if Limbaugh is intentionally misleading his listeners into believing something that even he knows is untrue, and endangering the livelihood and financial status of millions of households in the gulf region in the process, then he is a slimy rodent and should be made to crawl back into his hole. 

What the GOP/Teeps do, which is reprehensible, is that they intentionally twist and manipulate the other side's words to extract a convenient meaning which has as much to do with the truth as Iraq had to do with 9/11. So, the health reform becomes equivalent to 'death panels' and 'regulation' becomes equivalent to government takeover of corporations. They keep brainwashing the clueless hide heads with devious intentions and try to demonize the opposition even when they are doing their best for the country, because their only interest is in winning the next election (the country be damned!). 

Well, if blogs like mine crop up everywhere then 'hitting back harder' will become the norm of the Democrats too and it wont take too long for them to turn the tables on the traitorous tea party. Watch put for more tips on how to 'hit back harder'.

Here, GOP/Tea Party Faithfuls, Something For You to Chew On - Part 2 ...

21. June 2010

Continuing from my earlier article, I've added the link for Krugman's follow-up article below. As he mentions, people who are opposing the stimulus and revival plans for the economy are putting our future at stake. Whether you are opposing because you're bone-headed (read 90% of tea party/gop followers), or should I say jelly-brained cause it can be molded in two seconds by any tea party klutz railing against Obama, or because you are a scheming traitor (read 90% of the GOP/Tea Party leadership), there are no two ways about it - YOU ARE DESTROYING THE VERY ECONOMIC FABRIC OF OUR COUNTRY - Al Qaeda couldn't have done any better than you tea party folks are doing. Try to listen to what the other side is saying for a change (try to take off the prejudice tinted lenses for a change and for god's sake try to broaden that weany little mind of yours and READ the article below).  

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/21/opinion/21krugman.html?ref=paulkrugman

If you cannot make sense of this article then you have two freaking options

1) Either let the people who have been spent months and months studying the causes of the crisis and breaking their backs to fix the situation do their work, and support the superlative and selfless Obama effort to revive our economy and our country

2) or provide an intelligent alternative to fix the economy (and fruckin back it up with numbers). Do not just sit there like a sick dog spewing froth from your mouth, and parroting your demented and crooked leaders.

I know it’s not easy to knock sense into the gop faithful and the tea sipping party ‘animals’, though they seem to fall for convenient balderdash faster than oil can spill out of the deepwater horizon. But we believe in a little bit of ‘empathy’ and would like to give them a chance at redemption. Here’s hoping the dense brains of the gop/tea party faithfuls can comprehend plain English, and looking forward to the amazement of an intelligent response to this very informative article from Paul Krugman of the NY Times which puts the whole deficit debate in very simple language (simple enough for our ape-brain friends to understand). I hope this makes them realize how the tea party traitors are betraying our country and destroying it economically.

The Tea Party Exposed - Deliberate Deception - Part 3

9. June 2010

 

More evidence of the deliberate deception was on display during the healthcare bill. It was clear as day that the insurance premiums were going through the roof and becoming unaffordable for a lot of people. There was no doubt that some kind of reform was necessary and that something had to be done to put a brake on the premium increases and also include as many non-covered people as possible. Instead of agreeing that reform is required, and trying to help the Obama administration come up with the right plan, the tea party/repubs plainly refused to speak to him. They may as well have said ‘screw you and screw our country’, for that is exactly what they were doing. When they were required to do their bit as representatives of the people, they ignored their duty and played gutter politics again, and started poisoning people’s mind again. They fed them trash about death panels and government choosing doctors, and the ape-brain tea party folks just lapped everything up (what will they not fall for). It was an extremely well thought out plan, and actually managed to increase coverage and reduce the country's deficit! Truth be told though, it’s not just the persuasive powers of the tea-party leaders that makes them fall for all kind of hooey (death panels, for god’s sake!). They had serious doubts and prejudice against the current president right from the beginning and the 24-hour mud-slinging operations from the likes of Haughty Hannity led to the deepening of their doubts and some of the mud stuck. However, part of it was because they really wanted to believe all the muck they heard and so they convinced themselves that it’s the truth. Otherwise, anybody with half a pea brain in their head would know that Palin knows as much about Healthcare as we know about Moose hunting ,and the criticism she was trying to cook up (don’t kill grandma!) were a laugh riot, and dirty politics motivated by her sheer ambition to get to the presidential nomination. That is the dirty psychological warfare that the right-wing keeps playing … keep telling people over and over again that (a blatant lie) is the truth and after some time some people will start believing it’s the truth. So, keep saying that the president is socialist and is making government take over our life, and the tea party foot soldiers will fall over themselves to believe it. Heck, Obama is as much a socialist as Mitt Romney, if you compare their health plans. Oops, try bringing that comparison up with the Palins and Becks of the world, and you'll see them roll over and play dead. Their job is to shred every action that Obama takes into pieces, so that they can feed the shreds to their loyal followers who wag their tails at them. Doesn't matter if the action that Obama is trying to take is vital for our country's economy and security, and to the survival of many Americans. Politics comes before country ... maybe they should make that the slogan of the tea party. I do repeat, however, that the blame is not with the majority of the tea party followers or republicans (aka the 'brainwashed'), it mainly lies with the ones who are intentionally misleading these guys (i.e. the 'brainwashers', who'll do exactly the same things as Obama when they're in office, as those actions are necessary and make sense) and playing with our country's future.

What everybody should not forget though is that in the name of political opportunism they were destroying our country, and hence they (the brainwashers) deserve to be branded the dirtiest of ‘traitors’.

Yo, Tea Party, Why The Heck Do You Think Greece Was Bailed Out?

20. May 2010

Cause anybody with half a brain would know that you cannot risk a 'spiral of death' by not shoring up the Greek government and the financial system in the country. Obviously, the 'bailout' should come with many strings attached, and a stringent plan for austerity and repayment. True to form though, there are morons in every corner of the world and Germany is no exception. The ignoramuses who are protesting Germany's support to bail out Greece do not realize that if that is not done then they will have the fallout come and bite a big chunk out of their backsides. Well, to their credit at least they are protesting about their government saving somebody elses's ass (in their opinion), but or very own tea party poops protested our own government saving our own asses and even founded their joke of a movement on that event. One day for sure, the morons who became part of the movement for that reason and bought all the hooey about 'government taking over our lives' will hang their head in shame (like a lot of the Iraq war defenders did when they saw 'the light'). I wish we had the luxury to wait till then, but I'm afraid we are not as moronic as our tea party friends .... keep tuned in on how the tea party will get the rug pulled out from under their feet and will get DECIMATED.

The Tea Party Exposed - Deliberate Deception and Manufactured Anger - Part 2

22. April 2010

Read Part 1 of this series here.

Playing politics is not a justification to destroy the very country the 'tea'-rexes  have been promising in their speeches to 'take back'. Starting with the Stimulus 'Bailout' Package issue, on which in fact the tea party was founded on, the leaders and establishment involvement in the tea party proved to be duplicitous crooks who knew very well that Obama and his team are doing the right thing and there is absolutely no other option than to save the banks, as the alternative would be economical anarchy and intense financial pain for every citizen of this country. But, the dirty politicians that they are, they knew they could not be caught dead agreeing with Obama on anything, and that they had to twist and malign his actions to continue with their campaigns of ‘tax and spend’, ‘democrats are bringing socialism’ and ‘big government is taking over our lives’  to continue stoking anger in their base and people with ‘malleable minds’ who were skeptical about Obama from the beginning. These are the SAME people who supported the stimulus package when the Bush administration pushed it and now are maligning Obama for ‘government take over’ when he is doing the same. That is inexcusable, bordering on criminal, deception, as their actions (knowingly opposing an important action that can protect our financial viability as a country) can bring financial destruction and erosion of our standards of living and world status. These actions are bordering on betrayal and I would classify these leaders as 'traitors', due to the impact that their action would have had on our country (if the stimulus act hadn’t passed). I repeat that politics is not a justification for such despicable actions of monumentally destructive proportions. However, I’m not blaming everybody in the tea-party for these vile acts, but only a certain ‘fringe’ who is intentionally misleading the hordes of tea party supporters. I will call these people the ‘traitors’ from now on, and without a doubt, the dubious distinction of being the ‘top traitor’ goes t onone other then Sarah Palin. To be fair, there were a few founders of this movement who were genuinely enraged at the ‘perceived’ actions of Obama, and started the tea party movement to vent out their frustrations at what they thought was a free pass for the banks and their executives. These people were horribly deluded and though the impact of their actions might be the same as the slimy elements in the party, they never intentionally betrayed the country for the purpose of politics (hey, in my books ignorance is a valid defense, though there is no excuse not to get it cured). Due to their out-dated, ignorant and narrow minded mindset I will call these group of people (which form the majority of the tea-party movement) the ‘tea’-rexes. Their partially demented behaviour and tendency to spout imaginary conspiracy theories is described well in this article in the Newsweek (“After I spent the weekend at the Tea Party National Convention in Nashville, Tenn., it has become clear to me that the movement is dominated by people whose vision of the government is conspiratorial and dangerously detached from reality. It's more John Birch than John Adams.”). Though not culpable of betraying our country directly, they might be equally responsible for the destruction of our country the way we know it, so it is critical that we push back against this movement with gigantic force that will make their ‘armageddon’ look like a ‘tea and biscuits’ party and ‘sledgehammer’ some sense into them. This is not something the rest of the country can ignore and we have to act forcefully to win this intellectual ‘civil war’ and keep America’s flag flying high.


Don’t get me wrong, they had every right to start a movement, as I believe every person who has something to say should try all means possible to make their voices heard and what better than approach than gathering like minded brethren and speaking as one voice. But, the intent, unfortunately, does not redeem the fact the intense stupidity and cluelessness of the majority who soaked up the crap of the ‘traitors’ and got swept in the wave of fury, as they just fell hook line and sinker for the horse-gooey that was being doled out by the ‘traitors’ and the republican establishment (a big portion of which is equally culpable and deserves to be counted in the group of ‘traitors’).

For your kind information, you ‘tea-sipping’ majors in moronic sciences, the stimulus package was originally conceived by Bush, Paulson and his team because they too obviously realized (the hard way actually by letting Lehman fail) that the economic volcano had to be contained before the ash spills over the entire nation and creates economic tremors in every citizen's home. There was no other option for the Obama administration to continue the Bush solution, but the 'foxy' weasels of the tea party decided that the economic stakes and citizens' welfare does not matter and all that matters is how to reclaim their seat in the next election and how they can manipulate people's thinking and convince them that Obama is a socialist and screwing the nation. The two-faced duplicty of the ‘traitors’ of this tea party movement is so despicable that you would think that even America's worst enemy's would think twice about indulging in such lowly behaviour to destroy our country, but these are America's supposed saviours who are doing their best to wreck the already fragile finances of individuals by spoonfeeding bs-shake to the general and put on this façade of patriotism by crying ‘USA, USA’ at every rally. ‘Tea’-rex posters like 'bail me out too' were pretty common during those days, but seriously those people should have their voting right revoked on the basis of sheer ignorance. Let me give a suggestion to these ‘tea’-rexes about the standard they should hold their leaders (and youself) too …just saying 'you lie' is not acceptable.. if you think the stimulus was the wrong step, then come up with a credible alternative or else stop spewing skunk dung from your hot air hole. Like the Iraq war, sooner or later you will come to your senses, and will grudgingly acknowledge the truth, which is that THERE WAS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE THAN TO SAVE THE BANKS FROM COLLAPSING, AND THE STIMULUS PACKAGE WAS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY AND WAS PASSED TO SAVE YOU (THE COMMON MAN) AND OUR ECONOMY FROM DEVASTATION. You ungrateful wretches should be thanking your stars that you had people like the Bush/Paulson and Obama/Geithner teams, which put principles over politics and did what was right and required. Oh btw, I'm sure many of you morons must be wondering ... "oh, so did Bush actually start this stimulus/bailout thingy?" ... yes, Sherlock, get the freaking facts right before you start working yourself into a lather and do a ‘dinosaur dance’ with the rest of the ‘tea’-rexes. If you can take it, you will also realize the obvious truth soon, that the tea party leadership (the ‘traitors’ camp) is fully aware that they are misleading and brainwashing you and are intentionally following this vile path of dirty deception because their only goal is to get in power ... the welfare of the country be damned. If you can still retain a shred of your senses, give them the boot and walk out of the party and support the person who is trying his best to do what's right for the country.

The Tea Party Movement Exposed - Deliberate Deception and Manifactured Anger - Part I

20. April 2010

After watching these specimens for a long time now, here’s my take on the tea 'party animals'. The tea party movement does have a good portion of members who've been deluded and brainwashed, (brainwashing these people doesn't take much effort actually), and will swallow any horse-gooey that's handed over to them by the right-wing rogues. Hey, it didn't take them much to convince a good portion of the country that Saddam Hussein had a role in 9/11 (I can almost hear Rummy, Cheney and Rove backslapping and chuckling about how easy it was to pull wool over the public's eyes). So, we have people who were already against Obama (due to a suspicion of the unknown mainly) to begin with, hanging on to every word spoken by the Stalin Palin, the ‘What the heck’ Beck, the Vanity Hannity and the Cussy Coulter. These people don’t have much of a brain anyhow and inspite of not understanding the underlying subjects, be it the stimulus or healthcare, take every word spoken by the above dirt-worms as gospel and keep stoking the fire smoldering inside them since the election. There are a good section amongst these people who voted for Obama, mainly due to the anger against Bush for misleading them to the war (read above note, trigger happy tea sippers, on how you let them mislead you so easily and are letting these guys pull the same number on you again) and pretty soon had buyer’s remorse, as their channels were still tuned to foxy news and the republican dirt-farting machine continued from where it had left off for the election campaign and kept on maligning and distorting every move Obama made. The more they kept listening to muck-raking maniacs, the more they started believing those deceiving devils, and the more they started hating Obama. OK, so we know how these people got sucked into the tea party, pretty much the same way these guys got sucked into approving the Iraq war and did not realize the enormity of their stupidity until their own sons and daughters started dying, but what’s so shocking about the tea party is the other side.

The people who are the ‘idols’ and ‘inspiration of the tea party, and people related to them, are the treacherous traitors who are deliberately misleading the public and reaching new depths of depravity in deliberately distorting any information on Obama’s proposals and openly indulging in deception, with political gain being the sole justification. These are people who were involved in growing the tea party to it’s current position, by rabble-rousing the crowds with stunningly deliberate lies and fear-mongering. These are the real rats of the tea party movement and the ones who pose the most major threat to the future of our country. These are the people who need to be called out and smoked out to have their dirty agenda exposed in front of the entire nation. These are the people who keep going ‘wink wink nudge nudge’ amongst themselves, as they know that Obama is doing a great job and probably trying harder and doing more good than any other president in history, but they gotta tear him down in their speeches and demonize him. Obviously, you belong to the opposition and you don’t need the genius of Karl Rove to understand that these people would rather be caught with a text message from a mistress rather than with an admission that Obama is doing the right thing. You have to bury him and his party with criticism and put such a dirty spin on his proposals that it would seem that Obama himself should be declared an ‘enemy combatant’. Some die-hard defenders and unscrupulous politicians will say “why not? Everybody’s got to do what it takes to survive in politics”. Sorry, Mr. Rove Redux, that is not acceptable, and here’s why …
