How Obama can make Republicans do anything he wants:

[rdean]

Remember Gitmo? Republicans screaming that it's a recruiting tool for al Qaeda and it should be closed immediately. Then when Obama agreed, Republicans began this terrorist style propaganda campaign against the president that he wanted to release terrorists into our city streets and backyards. They terrorized the American people swinging public opinion and today, Gitmo is open, and it's still a recruiting tool for al Qaeda. By "winning", they gleefully put the country in greater danger.

Now it's Social Security. Remember, Republicans hate Social Security. Many call it "socialism" or even "communism". They scream it's bankrupting the nation. That it's sustainable. That it's creating the debt. So Obama finally says OK. We will cut some benefits. We will reduce it's scope.

And guess what happens next? RIIIIGHT! Republicans say Obama is attacking the elderly.

Clearly Republicans hate Obama more than they love the country or even their own constituency.

How many other examples are there like this one? Libya comes to mind. Bush tax cuts. Health Care.

How should Obama deal with Republicans? The answer seems obvious.

So what is the answer?

 

[Dugdale_Jukes]

No question about it, the party of Lincoln, TRoosevelt, and IKE has become the party of filthy god damned corporatist scum like Ronald Reagan and Junebug Bush. Amnesty for illegal aliens? Bail out S&Ls? Buy securities to prop up Wall Street? Triple the national debt to create a fake "new economy"? Nice work if one can get it. These are Reagan's legacy. The Bush League legacy is one of debauchery against taxpayers and degeneracy in US relations with the rest of the world.

The only comparable failure in American politics is the Democratic Party after 1980. Group rights taking precedence over peaceful individual rights? Schools taking over parental responsibilities? Permits required for everything short of taking a shit in one's own home? The federal government involved in local education? Clinton signing NAFTA, repealing Glass Steagall and opening essential commodities to unregulated speculation? What the fuck is up with all that? Obama? A serious fucking idiot who pissed a trillion down the drain in a functional supply side stimulus (putting money in at the top - state and local governments) and for good measure tricked a nutball clown on the supreme court into debasing the US Constitution as a favor to health care corporations.

Wow. Where are Toto and the balloon? With wizards like this, let's just didi.

Both parties today are wholly owned subsidiaries of corporations. Republicans bow to the defense industry and blow financial services, Democrats lick the butts of government unions, health corporations and financial services. To the point of the threat header, both parties lie openly without fear of reprisal and both parties don't even bother to put the twenty on the dresser after giving working class people another drunk fucking by loosing some dog of commerce upon them.

Since the end of the 196os any number of legal abominations one had thought possible only in communist countries have been inflicted upon the US citizen. Neither party is worth a fuck today. Krushschev was right when he said the US will fall from rot at its core.

People like me haven't been represented in US politics since Nixon started the "revenue sharing" bogusness to silence local governments that had been passing resolutions against the Vietnam War. And it doesn't look like much is going to get better any time soon based on the current clownshow.

We are living Krushchev's prediction.

I think Obama should just announce he is Dictator king #1 and all must follow his command or die. Then, and only then when things suck rtard will hold Obama accountable, unless of course Obama says you can'y blame him.... or you die.

Both sides need to stop demonizing each other
for political points in the media.

The more members of these and other parties
agree to focus on common points and solutions,
there won't be as much need to bully and dominate by coersion or exclusion.

The power and influence of good ideas carry themselves
and will be respected and heard better without all the rhetoric
going on clouding the airwaves with excess noise and static.

http://www.houstonprogressive.org

We need to put aside our weapons, especially abuse of free speech to
attack and assasinate each other, and use our words and resources
to build sustainable solutions, and fight to be better
problem solvers and team collaborators, not fight each other
like bullies brats and babies. we need to grow up and
be more like the people who founded this nation who trusted
America's legacy to us. We can't afford to waste our freedoms like this.

Dear DJ: Thanks for an informative well-written msg that fairly exposes corruption on both sides due to party politics. We clearly need to set up representation by party so each is held responsible for paying back debts and damages they each incurred back to taxpayers exploited; and use their own funds to finance their own proposed policies. we expect churches and nonprofit associations to fund their own programs, why not political parties?

it can start with people like you and me who represent ourselves, and help others to do so from each party. I suggest organizing members of various conservative leaning parties that emphasize rule of law and Constitutional enforcements around the Justice Party; and members of parties seeking diversity and inclusion of minorities in sustainable solutions to organize around the Peace movement and form a Peace Party; and then have the two work together to present joint position proposals to the various party leaders to correct problems. The Greens support a system of proportional representation by party, but i'm thinking we can use the internet to have more direct representation for independents.

what do you think. are you interested in forming a team around the things you would like to see addressed and sovled to pay back taxpayers for the costs of crime corruption or abuse?

Thanks DJ and hope to hear more from you! yours truly, Emily

Not much of a challenge though. Remember, these are people who think that bush and palin are intelligent.

What they lack in intelligence they make up for in honesty.
making their mistakes in public instead of hiding them
behind carefully orchestrated press conferences.

at least bush was smart or wise enough to eat it and not play denial games
when he was blamed for New Orleans. had he played the blame game
that Obama plays now, the bickering would have stalled out the recovery process.
instead Bush took the hit for that so the people would shut up and
work together. Can't say the same for Obama.

Obama does support intelligent ideas such as
* microlending for growing economy
* investing in African American education to break cycles of crime and poverty
* focusing on mental illness as the real key to preventing more Newtown tragedies
but all this is lost if he distracts people with his political rhetoric fueling the blame game

Bush also mentioned the work of faith based groups to help former inmates
with recovery and assimilation into society as productive citizens.
if we listened to the intelligent insightful things Bush and Obama both said
we could solve the health care problems by using these ideas.
instead if we just bash back and forth based on their faults
we miss out on the solutions they both point to. why can't we do better than this?
are we not intelligent enough to see and follow through with right answers when we see them? do we have to fall for dumb political games and then blame our leaders for that?

Here Avorysuds you might enjoy this spoof on Obama's style of govt
Obama Gangsta Style - Lyrics for Video Contest

Obama did come out and say that if Congress didn't come out with an immigration policy for reform, he would subject us to more of his executive orders where he writes one himself!

That is about as much honesty you will get out of this guy.
If he were more intellectually honest, he would admit the flaws with the ACA health care bill render it unconstitutional just like the flaws with the AZ immigration bill.

If both parties were honest about equal protections under the constitution
they'd agree to fund their own agenda and programs and quit trying to
hijack Congress, Courts and votes to dominate the entire nation. They could
more easily fund and develop their own programs by Party, invest resources
directly into what they believe will work and quit wasting resources fighting,
and get the job done without having to fight so hard to overrule opponents.

So we'll see if we can make honest people out of these party leaders.
Jefferson was right that it is the people who ultimately hold our govt in check.
if we don't do our job, who do we blame when they don't do their jobs?
the govt works for us so we need to give them better instructions than this!

 

[Vandalshandle]

The guy that wrote the "Pledge of Allegance to the flag" was a flag salesman. He was also a socialist. He came up with the idea so that he could sell flags to schools everywhere. It was a perfect example of manipulation for profit in the name of patriotism. I am sure that the republicans kicked themselves for not coming up with the idea.

Now, we have Lapierre telling us that the solution to our gun problem is to arm every teacher with firearms.

I am starting to see a pattern, here.

In short, the republicans are not as stupid as they appear to be! Let's not underestimate them!

You have a lot of nerve to write:

And then put together a post filled with complete bullshit.

Bush and Palin are "honest"??? What the fuck? Bush hid the cost of the two wars until he was out of office. His administration tricked us into an ill conceived invasion and he said he couldn't think of a single mistake he made. Why do you think he wanted his secretary as a Supreme Court Judge. He was clearly trying to stack the court because he thought he was going to be charged with a War Crime.

Obama does support intelligent ideas such as
* microlending for growing economy
* investing in African American education to break cycles of crime and poverty
* focusing on mental illness as the real key to preventing more Newtown tragedies
but all this is lost if he distracts people with his political rhetoric fueling the blame game

Huh? That's a joke right? He can focus on anything he wants, but Republicans will never help him do anything that's good for the country. That's the point of the thread.

Bush also mentioned the work of faith based groups to help former inmates
with recovery and assimilation into society as productive citizens.

There is no proof magic will help people who have no job skills or education. In fact, it's a lack of job skills and education that is hurting the Republicans.

I think you need to think trough your ideas and work out whether they are your own or right wing indoctrination that "took". If they are your own, perhaps provide some corroborating "data"? Otherwise you might look like an asswipe.

What is wrong with you? Obama was repeating what the Military was saying. What the Military was saying since Bush was in office. He was listening to his generals. Looke a good commander in chief. Too bad Bush didn't.

Air Force senior interrogator who was in Iraq in 2006 wrote in The Washington Post: "I learned in Iraq that the No. 1 reason foreign fighters flocked there to fight were the abuses carried out at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. Our policy of torture was directly and swiftly recruiting fighters for al-Qaeda in Iraq."

It's hilarious, Obama threatens to withhold Social Security checks if he doesn't get his way and there's not a single fucking peep out of anyone. Obama admitted that Social Security is fucking broke, has no assets to sell, and again, not a peep
