Right-Wing Extremism: The Real Referendum of 2012

[tjvh]

After watching what has happened in WIS. I would have to conclude that if Mittens and Friends can outspend Obama, which I think they can, then my fellow Americans will vote in Mitt.

Repubs are much better than Dems at controlling the message and much better at raising lots of money. Money is the difference maker. And you don't have to have a "good" message, you just have to make sure your oppenents message is twisted and distorted.


If the Repubs come into office and cut 1 million gov jobs, what will that do to UE?

If Repubs give another huge tax break, what will that do to the deficit?

If Repugs start another unpaid for war, what will that do?

No answers and really, the Repubs are not worried about it. Win at any cost.......
then blame Obama for the miserable fuking failure that will be the Presidency of Mittens.

Spending... The new excuse of the day.

Socialism sucks. It's anathema to the USA. Call it Liberalism, Progressive, whatever you call it, it's a fail, it's odious and the people reject it out of hand.

And how the fuck do you get a 120% turnout in a city? It's blatant voter fraud and it's going to be fixed

Over the last couple of weeks, the Right Wing has trotted out the idea that this 2012 Presidential Election is going to be a referendum on Barack Obama. They claim that the American people have been let down by the President’s economic performance, and that it’s time get the good ol’ tricke down started again. They claim that so many people are out of work and hurting financially, and they know it’s because Obama has failed to pull us out of the Depression (seriously, it’s a Depression that we’re in), and thus this election will be all about Americans saying “no” to the Obama Administration.

The thing is, they’re right about this election being a referendum. And maybe they could be right about it being a referendum on Obama, but only for their own electorate. Instead, I think there’s a much larger picture being painted with this election, and it’s for the moral compass of this country’s economy and social policy. For the first time in many, many years, Americans are being asked to dictate the direction of the country not just in terms of its economy’s heart and soul, but of the heart and soul of the nation’s stated beliefs when it comes to human rights. The Mitt Romney/Tea Party/George W. Bush/Grover Norquist/Wall Street is King/Greed is Good message of fiscal and social extremism is really what’s on trial here. As much as the GOP would have you believe this election is about the other guy, is much more about them, and their apparent decision to let the lunatic fringe of their party drive the ship.

The War on Women, the Fight Against Marriage Equality and the Let the Rich Get Richer forces of the Republican party are going to be put under intense scrutiny by the Obama campaign, and they may be shocked when their messages of intolerance, devolution and Plutocracy are left to die on the vine.

All over the nation, people are being given a choice. Conservatives now more than ever are trying to rush us into a massive nuclear-powered Delorean and take us as far backward as they can, be it a social issue or a fiscal policy. People like Paul Ryan are proposing budgets that kill social programs but pump still even more money into the Defense budget. Over a thousand bills restricting women’s health care and access to abortions and contraceptives have been introduced since the rise of the Tea Party. The storm is gathering, and showdown is coming.

A lot of "whats"
maybe you should consult your crystal ball and get back to us.

Actually they were "IF" questions. And seeing as how you have no idea what the party you support will actually do if elected, I have a suggestion for you; go fuk yourself. Might be a better use of your time and intellect.

Looks like an opinion piece to me.

Opinons are like assholes and everybodys got one.

yep..I think the author believes himself some political genius or something and I guess we are all supposed to be, Impressed.
same old lame talking points is all..

It's definitely an opinion piece, as is everything else I write. Unlike those on the Right who do it too, I don't profess to have all the answers, only my views on where the Right Wing in this country is going terribly wrong.

Someone in this thread said that we Liberals are upset because our views aren't the common American's views. That kind of statement is much more hyperbolic and misguided than anything I've ever written ever will be. Like us or not, Conservatives, there are a Hell of a lot of us. And the fact is that on several key social issues your side is definitely losing.

The tide of public opinion on things like legalization of marijuana, marriage equaltiy, and reaffirming a woman's right to choose are flowing back towards the Left. This has happened throughout history, and now is no different. Progressives fight for real change (like abolition, the New Deal, Women's Suffrage, The Right to Choose), and Conservatives spend their time, energy, and now GOBS of money chipping away at those changes.

For every Wisconsin there's a California, or a New York, or an Oregon. Or even a Montana, shoving the influence of big money out of their state. You think your way of thinking is the only way people think because that's all you're surrounded by. But look at the opinion polls on these key social issues.

Social issues will drive economic concerns. I think Conservatives should be wary of declaring a win in the war on Liberalism with the Walker victory last night. And if you all don't think your party has been hijacked by extremists, you're just too far down the rabbit hole (or up the elephant's ass) to see it is all. It doesn't make it any less true.

I see that Walker basically won by the same margin as last time, plus a percentage point. That doesn't prove anything. It doesn't prove that Liberalism was handed a mighty defeat. It means that money works. So now we see how important it is to get CU overturned. Thanks for helping to fire up the Left Wing.

And we'll see in November how this all shakes out.

So, as a 'professional' journalist lol, do you consider labeling everyone who disagrees with you as an 'extremist' to be a valid journalistic argument?

And.... as a 'professional' journalist lol, are you going to call the left wing extremists who tweeted threats on Governor Walker's life as the actual extremists that they demonstrate themselves to be?

Extremist right wingers demand to know!

Oh... and... you're not a 'journalist'... you're a hack. If everything you write is your opinion... which you state it is... then you ain't no fucking journalist. Hack.

So Lacky, do you ever think for yourself or do you just go with whatever some left wing hack tells ya?

I choose articles that support what I personally believe. Is that okay with you?

It is THOUGHT they object to, the far right has gone off a ledge in recent years. So far right there are now VICHY Americans.

They?

You mean me... I am the one that challenged Lacky's inability to think for her/his self. I am not a 'they'. I am me. An individual. A foreign concept to left wing extremists.

 

[California Girl]

Liberals Now: "I'm gonna kill Walker".

Remind me again... who are the extremists?

Idiot.

Yea.... when they lose an election... apparently, democracy is dead and America is finished! Fucking lunatic extremists.

 

[Peach]

Well, first of all, I honestly don't believe Obama will lose. Secondly, I don't consider Romney a lowlife piece of shit like Walker.

I don't know at this point, because of the economy, if Obama can be reelected. But Romney is an infinitely better choice than Walker.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

You're special brand of abject stupidity is getting old.... better stock up on the Xanax fucktwat... you're gonna need it come November.

 

[whitehall]

You almost gotta laugh. The left relies on a stand-up comedian for political opinion. Granted James Schlarmann isn't too successful at it but he is a freaking comedian. Why post the political opinion of a comedian? The left wing has become a comedy show.
