As time goes by in this political season that I can only describe as being incendiary, I wonder why Republicans and Tea Party members have become so unbelievably unsound, so out of touch with the 21st century, unreasonable, unbalanced, unrealistic, backward, vulgar, and just genuinely miserable human beings.
When did they become the advocates for blind hatred toward all those who either are not like them or who don't believe or agree with them? How do they reconcile their professed belief in a small government while at the same time sticking their noses in the most private affairs of women? How can their Christian religious beliefs take precedence over everyone else's beliefs. Why do they think theirs is the only belief system that must be followed?
On one hand, they profess to want to adhere to the Constitution. On the other, they want to rip out the parts they think don't follow their warped beliefs. They apparently want this country ruled as a theocracy. I also think they don't understand what the word means.
Their disdain for education is beyond belief. Their disdain for the rights of average Americans is beyond belief. Their war on women is incomprehensible. Their war on laws that keep us safe is incomprehensible. Their war on the sick, the young and the elderly is incomprehensible. Their war on science is incomprehensible. They badmouth everything good that the Obama administration does
Everything that the Republican party stands for is detested by those who really love this country. The Republican party seems hell bent on rolling back all the gains Americans have made in the last 60 years. Women will become chattel, education and health care will only be for the rich, minorities will be discriminated against just as they had been so many years ago. It is the way Republicans think. It is what they want. It is a devastating plan for the United States.
They have twisted the meaning of much of what this country stands for: freedom, patriotism, liberty, opportunity, equality, diversity, cooperation. They are bigots, racists,
We are heading toward a Taliban-like state if they ever take the reins of government. They are a depressing group of hypocritical, misogynist nutjobs. This country will not be a good place to live in if they get the power they seek. It will be like living in the United States of Iran.
Even with all this, I have hope that the American people won't let the Republicans ride roughshod over them, take away their rights, stomp on their ideas or their dreams or allow this country to go down the path to a theocracy or oligarchy. I hope this will become a country for "the people", by "the people", and not run by the corporate masters who pull the strings of most Republican politicians.

This Pack of Nit Wits
The incredible viciousness being tossed back and forth between Romney and Gingrich makes me laugh, albeit through my disgust. Each has a really big problem with something they should have learned when they were kids........ telling the truth. I understand this "is politics." But lying just shouldn't be acceptable in any venue. The lies are legion, nonsensical, blatant, hypocritical, malicious, reprehensible, groundless and erroneous. The two of them sound like immature, emotionally undeveloped, nasty little boys intent on outdoing the other in name calling. Neither is Presidential material.
Each has enormous detrimental baggage. One clearly is lacking in character and integrity and has honed his lying to a very high degree. The other pads his answers to mean whatever will pass muster to the particular audience he speaks to. He has no idea what he believes because those beliefs change so frequently depending on the audience he is speaking in front of at the time.
Both take credit for things they were never really involved in. Gingrich says he is the successor to Ronald Reagan even though Reagan did so many things Gingrich is against, like raising taxes more than a dozen times. Romney takes credit for creating thousands of jobs, citing, as an example, the success of Staples. Romney was with Bain Capital, not Bain, a completely different company which was involved with Staples. Romney wasn't a job creator, he was a job destroyer. He and his cronies took over companies, took out the money, left the companies with debt, sent jobs overseas and left the companies to collapse, thereby putting an awful lot of people out of work.
Gingrich had to leave his position as Speaker of the House in disgrace; he is an adulterer as is his current third wife, is a race-baiting bigot who thinks Latinos and Blacks are somehow lesser human beings. He is bombastic, pompous, ungracious and histrionic. He is hardly presidential. He makes a mockery of the Constitution and all that is good in this country. He has no empathy for the working people of the United States...the ones who help make this country great.
Romney has no idea what most Americans struggle with in living day to day, trying to survive job losses, house losses, paying ungodly amounts for health insurance, having no health insurance, taking jobs that pay very little. He inherited his obscenely huge amount of money. He was a one-term governor of Massachusetts who, apparently, did so lousy a job that he wasn't re-elected. The only good thing he did was pass "Romneycare" which is much like the Affordable Health Care Act that President Obama passed and which Romney rails against. Every position he takes changes with the wind. He flip-flops faster and more often than a beached fish. He apparently hasn't heard that there is audio and video of him everywhere voicing all his changing positions.
And then there is Ron Paul and Rick Santorum. What is there to say. One is surely a self-centered crackpot, the other a right wing Christian, mindless, bible-thumping, tactless stooge who wants to take the country back to the 19th century.
None of the 9 cretins running for the GOP presidential nomination has ever talked about what they would do to create jobs in this country. They had no idea how to. They only knew how to bash President Obama. The GOP is the party of hate, class warfare, backwardness. They look back instead of forward. They want things to be as they were, no matter how bad it was. They want to eliminate all the gains this country has made in education, health, environmental safety, food safety, equitable pay, equal rights, personal rights and on and on and on. They want to take this country back, all right, back to the time when women and minorities were second class citizens.
This pack of nit wits is the best the Republican party has? When G-d said, "All those who want brains, come forth," the Republicans came fifth. Those left running are a very sorry lot. They just need to go away and leave the country in the hands of people who care for EVERYONE living here, not just the ultra-rich 1%. The rest of us, the 99% need our voices heard. We'll have that chance by re-electing President Obama.

Let's See Now.........
Let's see now:
Newt Gingrich is not really a "professor" as shown on his official bio. He has simply guest-lectured at something called National Defense University and to show their gratitude, they gave him an honorary title and a certificate. He also" taught" at West Georgia College. True professors usually have advanced degrees in specialized fields, teach full courses, administer exams, issue grades, hold office hours, etc. Lecturing is not the same. Ergo, he is not a professor. Another Republican lying and padding a resume.
And he and his wife had an almost 1 million dollar line of credit at Tiffany's? This is a fiscal conservative who says he and his wife are frugal????
The GOP war on women: defunding Planned Parenthood negatively affects women's health; replacing Medicare with vouchers for seniors negatively affects senior women who live longer than men; stamping out collective bargaining affects women more because the majority of teachers in the U.S. are women; abortion limits affect women, mostly poor women. If this isn't a war on women, what is?
The conservative-laced Supreme Court screwed women workers. No surprise there.
Clarence Thomas, a closed-mouth, ultra-conservative on the Supreme Court, is ethically challenged to the extreme. He needs to get off that bench now!
Romney says federal disaster relief is "immoral." But he took a huge chunk of it for his state of Massachusetts several years in a row. Hypocrite!
Tim Pawlenty wants to be POTUS but he left his state of Minnesota with a HUGE deficit. Nice going TPaw!
The Republican-controlled House has offered not a single jobs bill since they took over. Not one. Where TF are the jobs, Republicans?????
Social Security is NOT an entitlement. Look at your f*$# paychecks. Do they have a deduction for SS? Then you PAID for it!
But wait, there's more..................... oh crap!

MY HEAD HASN'T EXPLODED.........YET!
My head is exploding. I am on Facebook and Twitter and follow so many progressive and liberal blogs, tweets and sites that every day I am bombarded with articles about all the "dreck" the 'Rethugs' spit out. I listen to progressive radio, especially in the car, and wonder how I haven't yet wrapped myself around a pole listening to what all those right wing nuts are up to. I'm trying to figure out how to squelch the vomit impulse I feel when I read or listen to their craziness. I go on some websites of the right and leave quickly to head to the bathroom.
I write to my Senators and Representatives and let them have it on issues, I sign petitions with sites like MoveOn, etc. I blog and tweet my head off. I am slowly getting followers from the enemy camp so I must be getting under someone's skin! My AZ politicians do not speak for me, do not represent me.....at all. It's as if I have no voice.
If only I could find SOME common ground with the other side. But it is absolutely incredible that there isn't one thing I agree with them on except a need to reduce the federal budget. But their Draconian approach to everything is beyond the pale.
Why is it the Rethugs want to take away only from the poor, the working class, the frail, the aged, the children, the sick, the veterans, the college kids, education. What have they taken away from the rich? What? They keep throwing money and tax breaks at corporations. And none of them have created the jobs the Rethugs keep saying those tax breaks will do. None!
They are slithering snakes in the grass with addlepated brains, hell bent on bringing to its knees anyone or anything that does not look, or think like them. If they, those crazy Rethugs, ever get their way, this will be a White, Christian nation reminiscent of the 18th century and the rest of the world will shun the U.S.
