A WORD FROM OUR FOUNDER

      Madame President or you just lost to Sarah Palin

well we just had a special election and ted kennedy's senate seat is now under the control of the republicans.

this means a few things.

1-the democrats no longer have a filibuster proof majority.  that means that even though they have a majority the republicans now have enought seats to block a lot of things from getting voted on.  essentially the republicans can now gum up the works and stop health care or whatever else they feel like.  now I'm sure you are saying to yourself 

"but...that means that up until LAST NIGHT the republicans were powerless to stop the democrats from passing anything?!" 

yes that is correct

"well then why didn't they pass health care?!"

because politicians are pussies.  they didn't want to pass it without SOME republicans on board in case it turned out to be a shit idea.  because otherwise THEY (the democrats ) would take ALL of the blame.  now...you may be thinking here that if the democrats thought it was a good idea they should want all the credit and not care one bit if the republicans are on board. 

yes...IF they where sure it wasn't a shit idea, and IF they weren't all pussies.  but politicians are pussies and that is why they are politicians and not business men, laborers, entrepreneurs or anything else where you have to produce in order to be paid.  all a politician NEEDS to do to keep getting paid to to get re-elected.  the biggest pitfall to that goal is doing anything.  because if you do something the opposition can point at its flaws and blame you. 

2-this also foreshadows a big ass landslide asskicking of the democrated by the republicans in 2010 and 2012.  are you paying attention all you health care people?  if your bill HAD passed Palin would be in charge of your health care in 2012.  and make no mistake...if you don't come up with a better candidate than Obama in 2012 you WILL lose to Palin.

She is not as stupid as she is being made out to be (remember BUSH W beat you 2 times) and she's not going to make the same mistakes twice so your asses better be ready because frankly...i'm sick of seeing her. Be prepared, i watched her on Glenn Beck for about 45 minutes.  the woman is NOT stupid.  let's evaluate her brains on what she wants and what she is doing about it.  

she wants to be president. 

and what does she need to do to achieve this?  ----she needs face time.  she needs practice in front of the camera, she need the country to get used to seeing her, she needs to practice debate and she needs credibility.

what is she doing about it?  ---she walked away from the governorship of Alaska.  seem counterproductive?  it's not. Alaska is a small state that doesn't get in the news much, doesn't deal with a whole lot of issues that the rest of the country knows about and is logistically tough to live in/govern and still be on t.v. in California and Washington. so she quits, writes a book, and joins FOX news.  this solves every problem except credibility...or so it would seem.  YOU my loyal opposition are going to be making her credible. YOU are going to let her drive you nuts, making a target out of her for politician hoping to get your vote.  senators, congressmen, even Obama are going to be taking shots at her to impress you....and thus...physiologically putting her on the same level as they are.  by acting as though she is a threat they will be giving her the credibility she needs.  and she is baiting them and you already.  she's laying out landmines like abortion, and one world government, and communism.  she is saying those things to get a rise out of you.  this is all going to work.

in this corner we have Obama.  He's a train wreck.  here is what Joe America sees...A guy who made a bunch of BIG talk, spend a shit ton of money, made a shit ton of promises to other countries, blew all sorts of smoke up our asses about hope and change and has produced no results for the U.S of A.  the economy didn't turn around, the housing market didn't turn around, the job market didn't turn around, terrorism didn't stop, Afghanistan is the same, other countries are not playing ball with him.  these are all things he said he knew how to fix and would fix.  and once the republicans retake the house and senate he's going to get blocked six ways from Sunday.  he's in trouble folks.

he only beat Ebenezer scrooge by 7% or so the first time. and this time around Obama is not going to have the ground swell of support and excitement that he had last time due to possibly being the first black president.  he certainly isn't going to be able to paste "hope and change" all over the place.    this time he'll have little help from the independents, the black voter turn out will be far less, the Latino vote is going to turn on him, and his female support will AT LEAST be cut in half.   that leaves him with the hard core dems and the unions.  that is not going to win an election in this country.

you BETTER find a dissenting voice to run against him or you are f- u- c- k- e- d  fucked.
