Politicians..maybe Crackpots…definitely!

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we practice being complete frickin lunatics.
Ok, let me be clear.( Ala Obama) Each party has it’s share of nutjobs, I guess there’s no real getting around that point. However, the democrats generally get defined by Obamas calm, collect and gentle nature. The republicans are starting, and deservedly so, to be defined by crackpots who are dishing out unsubstantiated claims abound without even the slightest use of any proof. I’m not a politician, however, for example, if I wanted to criticize a white President, the last thing I’m gonna do is have a bunch of young black men shouting out claims that they can’t backup. That would just make it seem very disengenuine. I mean, honestly, who would take them seriously right? Many would question their motives. They would say, “Yo! Leroy, can you back any of that up, or are you just angry because this is a white President that you didn’t vote on and you are just a little bitter? Do you see where I’m going with this yet?
Ok, let’s just scratch that example and take a look at some recent occurings.
You have Orly Taitz insisting that the President was born in Kenya: (Not true)
Sarah Palin insisting that the President wants to hold “death panels” to determine which old people are to be cut from health care and put to death via some sort of euthansia. (Not True)
Georgia Rep Paul Broun equating the Presidents plans with “Nazi” policies. (WTF & Not True)
Ohio Rep Jean Schmidt calling John Murth a coward and telling “birthers” that she agrees with them but the courts don’t. (WTF)
Then you have SC Rep Joe Wilson yelling out “you lie” during Obamas Wednesday night speech to Congress regarding coverage for illegal aliens when even the Pulitzer Prize winning, non-partisan fact checking website ‘Politifact.com’ stated that he was clearly wrong. (Not True)
Oh, and here’s something that I can’t understand. When have the Republicans been opposed to competition in the marketplace? Are we to just trust the insurance companies? Like we trusted the big banks….
I was asked a question at work the other day. A co-worker asked me if I agreed with President Obama just because he was black. I said no. However, I thought about it more and more last night and I guess I have to actually change that answer. I don’t agree with him solely because he is black, but with all the recent blatant, underlying racist type of accusations sprung up by some members of the republican party and their radical conservative followers I find myself feeling more of an us against them type of feeling. I mean what’s next, some singing & dancing watermelon and chicken attacks? I mean, he’s Kenyan, he’s nazi, he’s anti american, he wants to kill grandma, he’s lying and oh, “the piece de resistance” he’s black….
I’m sure I may have even forgotten some of the complaints because they have just worn out because of lack of food.
But hey, as usual, that’s just my opinion, I could be wrong.
Here’s Orly Taitz, insisting that the commander in chief was born in Kenya. There’s a flock of angry protesters chanting “Just say no!” and carrying signs depicting a Democratic congressman with devil’s horns. Former GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin warns darkly that Obama is planning “death panels” for senior citizens. Georgia Rep. Paul Broun equates the president’s plans with “Nazi” policies. Ohio Rep. Jean Schmidt — last heard calling John Murtha a “coward” — tells a birther: “I agree with you, but the courts don’t.”
And then, in the midst of all the catcalls, hand-held signs and “I’m not listening” BlackBerrying, Wilson interrupts Obama’s address to a joint session of Congress by shouting, “You lie!”
