Oh the joys in right wing land as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton go at each other. Rush Limbaugh aka “The Blob” is seen below frolicking at the prospect of the Democratic Party having a civil war. But that is ok as the Republicans are not doing so badly at fratricide!
While none of the Republicans have economic policies that really help the middle class, I do hope Senator McCain wins the nomination! In 2000 Senator McCain raised the issue of K – Street and the extreme influence that big money has on our government! Just look at the predictions of the news media concerning McCain prior to the Florida Primary. They were predicting that if he did not win then he would not have the funds to continue the race. Mitt Romney has deep pockets and is able to pull out millions more. But wait you ask, Isn’t John McCain a millionaire? The answer is that all of the Republican and Democratic candidates are millionaires! Barack Obama, from the newscast I saw, was the baby of the millionaires with a mere 1.1 million. Even though John McCain is a multimillionaire he is a mere pauper in relation to Mitt Romney! Presidents don’t just come from thin air! Elections require funding and plenty of it. This is especially true if you want to have an intelligent discussion of the issues. Negative ads with 30 second sound bites do work and they come about because of low funds in the politician’s war chest. Rational discussion requires a price. Our society must pay that price else we all pay by becoming serfs to the interests of the Corporate Collectivists!
When you see McCain and Romney go at it you can see the anger that McCain has that he is the financial underdog. While I don’t know if I could vote for McCain I do hope he will be the Republican winner! He will start preaching the evils of K – Street when he has the Republican nomination behind him. McCain will then put pressure on the Democrats to change even if he looses! This is the reason Rush Limbaugh hates McCain! Both the Republicans and the Democrats get huge financial contributions to their campaigns! As John Edwards has repeated many times, “Why do you think they make these contributions”? If McCain was the Republican Candidate and he won, Rush Limbaugh realizes the party is over! Without the web of money by K-Street, over a few years, the Republican Party would become the Democratic Party and the Democratic Party would become a European style Social Democratic Party. This is not McCain’s intention but without the money from lobbyists it will be the outcome!
So laugh on big boy Limbaugh your time is coming to an end! America’s Silent Majority will then be able to assert the values of “Individual Freedom” over the needs of 21st century Collectivism that holds sway over our dear land. This new “Collectivism” is not from enslavement to the government but rather from enslavement to the CORPORATE COLLECTIVE! While CUT AND RUN Corporations ship our jobs, technology and wealth overseas, frequently even to the enemies of America, the Silent Majority will break the hold of these moneyed interests in Washington. What may be the irony is that the chain will be broken not by a Democrat but by a Republican! Yes a Republican who is loyal to America first not the 21st Century Nomads of Capital who with their Iscariot loyalties only to their own class roams the globe in search of the weak to export our dreams and import their poverty while they profit from the transaction! There is in America, in both political parties, a rising MIDDLE CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS!
Even if McCain is not fully one of us, none the less, his work inside the Republican Party is helping to bring this middle class consciousness about! Rush Limbaugh your days are over and you know it! That is why you are so much against McCain even though he is basically one of your fellow travelers in other respects!
This blog is the successor to my prior blog. I expect to complete the move by the end of the week.

This blog will not become active for about a week while I move relavent posts to this new location. Don’t look at “both sides of the issue”! That’s right because that implies there are only TWO SIDES to an issue. Life is more complex and the American Middle Class (and those who aspire to become middlce class) deserve more than the choice between two orthodoxies!
She did it! “The TEARFUL BABE THAT COULD”! No folks before you tell me to go “onk onk” like a male chauvinist pig, I am only being humorous! We cannot call her the “Come Back Kid” as her hubby already has that title. I prefer John Edwards with Barrack Obama a close second choice! I wonder about Hillary Clinton because she has made peace with the money pedaling special interest lobbyists of Corporate America. What saved her is that Hillary Clinton has been taking John Edwards lessons. If you listen to her “tear speech” listed below she speaks about her Grail Quest as being “personal”. John Edwards said the same thing only a few days before in the debate! After her victory she then spoke about “finding her new voice”! Yes indeed that new voice is talking like John Edwards! She spoke like a populist! I used to like Hillary Clinton! That is until I realized she was undermining college grads in their pursuit for a better life by supporting the racist H1-b Visa program where corporations favor lower paid foreign visa technical students over Americans.
What I believe hurt Senator Obama was the cocky over confidence of the “Talking Heads” in the news media who had him wining New Hampshire by over 10%. Since “Independents” can vote in the New Hampshire Primary, I believe many Independents felt that their job was already done on the Democratic side so they voted instead in the Republican Primary for John McCain. Perhaps if the news media did not pontificate so much Barrack Obama would have won New Hampshire!
I hope McCain does get the Republican nomination. It was John McCain who attacked the lobbyists more than any candidate in American history in 2000. While I will vote Democratic I could split my ticket for McCain if the Iraq War is not the hot issue. Someone has to stand up and stop the corrupting power of K Street. I believe this time around the best candidates to do that are:
- John Edwards
- Barack Obama
- John McCain
- Mike Huckabee
The time has come for America’s Silent Majority (our great Middle Class) to stand up to these CUT AND RUN CORPORATIONS! Individual Freedom must prevail against these 21st Century Collectivists of the Corporations who would undermine our economic freedom. Without economic freedom the word “freedom” is a meaning less word! God Bless America!
Today in the Iowa caucus, Princess Hillary, Our Lady Of NAFTA, came in a losing third behind Obama followed by John Edwards. Apparently the blood money she received from Silicon Valley contributors was not enough to let her “purchase” second place!
Hillary Clinton deserves to loose! I would vote for Mike Huckabee before I would vote for Hillary Clinton! She has sold out the Middle Class to the corporate elites and their H1-b agenda. Soon this agenda will threaten most college degree careers! While I hope John Edwards will win, if he does not win a single state before “Super Primary Day” then I hope he would withdraw and back Obama!
Hillary Clinton must pay for her betrayal of the Middle Class and her wiliness to destroy the career hopes of American Technology students and graduates! She undermines the dreams of college students taking difficult computer course work then whines there are not enough technology workers when all the evidence is to the contrary!
The time has come for Our Lady Of NAFTA to face the music and go down to the defeat she so truly deserves. It’s time for America’s Silent Majority – Our great Middle Class (and those who aspire to be) to take our nation back from these CUT AND RUN Capitalists who ship our jobs and technology overseas! But not just the Republicans but also their minions in our own Democratic Party who support NAFTA and the RACIST H1-b Visa program must be defeated!
Ah but Hillary Clinton wants to keep those jobs in America! Except she wants to fill them with foreign workers at lower pay! Imagine being a programmer who is then fired and required to train their own foreign replacement! Well it is already happening! The March 28th edition of the Wall Street Journal even listed more college level jobs that will be off shored! But don’t worry Hillary Clinton will keep those jobs here too. Only she will fill them with foreign workers at lower pay!
I used to be for Hillary “Our Lady Of Nafta” Clinton, but when she supported the H1-b Visa program that undermines not only all Computer Programmers but every college graduate trying to win the American Dream, I turned against her. John Edwards may scare some people but I believe that the American Middle Class is fighting a war for survival! We are engaged in a war for “Individual Freedom” vs. submersion into the new Collectivism of our age! That is subjugation to the CORPORATE COLLECTIVE!
In this era of licentious permissiveness where the bleeding hearts of the Republican Party sanction the off shoring of American jobs and technology, frequently even to the enemies of America, the Middle Class must take a stand! We stand by as those corporations that our nation gave incorporation, profits, succor and protection now change their “identity” to “Multinational Corporations”! The Republicans and their minions look the other way while these Corporations set up phony offices in the Caribbean to avoid paying taxes. These CUT AND RUN CAPITALISTS must take responsibility for the havoc they are causing in the lives of Middle Class Americans!
The philosophers of permissiveness naturally tell us differently! Rush Limbaugh and his fellow travelers go for the “feels good” solution to corporate responsibility. The news media even allow him a pulpit to infect our young with the idea that those cut and run capitalists who shirk their responsibility to the nation that give them profits , contracts and incorporation are “heroes”!
No one is against investors making money but how about some fairness? This is not only about blue collar jobs but white collar college graduate jobs!
The time has come for America’s great SILENT MAJORITY: OUR MIDDLE CLASS TO STAND UP TO THOSE WHO WOULD SUBJURGATE OUR INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM TO THE 21st CENTURY NEO-COLLECTIVISTS OF CORPORATE AMERICA!
GOD BLESS THE MIDDLE CLASS!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
God save us in this Brave New World from servitude to the Corporate Collective!
I fully sympathize with the Bhutto family concerning the death of the former Prime Minister Bhutto. But she cannot “will” the leadership of a political party or that of a would be democratic nation to her son! I find his statement below almost laughable.
The best revenge is “democracy” but party leadership is achieved by internal party elections not a “political testament” from mommy! True the former Prime Minister was the heir to her own father but a college freshman cannot lead a nation that has nuclear weapons and claims to be a democracy!
Well gosh golly that must be one of my silly American bourgeoisie middle class hang-ups!
