It's all free advertising for the party.

My campaign Billboard:
We heard what the RNC had to say. Lots of “America deserves better.” “Obama was bad for America.” And a truck load of Bla bla bla.
I can assure you next week at the DNC it will be more of the same. Bla bla bla as well. More platitudes and generalities. Empty words even a grade schooler would have doubts about.
Here’s your challenge. Decide what is important to you. What are your values? What’s important for your family and neighborhood. What will make America great? Jobs? Health? Schooling? Less taxes? Bigger or smaller government? What?
Decide this for yourself. Read. Watch. Decide. Ignore snarky and partisan talk. Turn off radio and TV and then read the newspapers. Avoid lock steppers and ditto heads. Don’t be afraid to ask difficult questions. Finally, don’t let anybody tell you how to vote. How you vote is your own private business.

Mit, what are your guys telling you?

Yes, Mit Romney is a successful businessman. Yes, Ann Romney is a smart and attractive woman. Both are a wonderful couple, mom and dad, and probably pretty good neighbors.

None the less, why do they lie about President Obama? Why do they say President Obama is angry and divisive. President Obama to me seems cordial, affable, and even tempered. I have never seen him mad, angry, or blustering how others might had treated him. President Obama sings, jokes, and treats other with respect. How can Mit Romney call the president hateful and dishonest?

But if the truth be known, Mit Romney is probably receiving bad advice from his campaign consultants and handlers. I can only guess Romney is saying these things because his campaign has no other alternative argument. So, lie not misrepresent the President? It’s the only campaign arrow in their almost empty quiver. So, telling the truth is not an option. Telling the truth would be self-incriminating. Then, the whole campaign would be over. Done. Just plead guilty as charged. Case closed.

But to sustain the campaign, Romney has to augment his campaign rhetoric with exaggeration, distortion, and lies. There’s no other way for Romney to wage a campaign war against the President. Bluster, bloviate, and pounding on the podium is another tactic. “Take your campaign of anger and divisiveness back to Chicago,” Romney has repeated on the campaign trail. Bringing campaigning down to an all time low. A desperate and sad way to conduct a Presidential campaign. God forgive Mit Romney.

I'll take the party that loves the common man and woman.

I am a registered Democrat. I don’t always agree with everything the Democrat Party stands for. However, I generally vote for middle class values and benefit for the greater good. Sometimes putting my own wants and wishes aside in order to promote the common principles of the Democratic party.

What I do not promote are hot button issues. Such things are destructive to the common goals of good community values. Narrow interests are counterproductive.

None the less, I would vote independent but my states voting laws limit the independent voter. Therefore I am a Democrat. However, from 1966 to 2002, I was a registered Republican. Voting four times for Ronald Reagan. Twice in California for governor and twice for President. I also voted for Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford. All of whom would not know today’s Republican party. Nor would they be nominated as Republican Presidential candidate. Possibly be seen as too liberal and socialist.

So what happened to the Republican party? Money, money, and money narrow interests. It is now a party controlled by the likes of the Koch Brothers, Steve Wynn, Donald Trump, and dozens of billionaires. All bent on furthering their empires. Mostly by changing laws to their satisfaction. And, this is accomplished by buying the best congress money can acquire. Unfortunately, money votes. Money and it’s progenitors are anonymously protected by law and the supreme court. Money can vote without proper I.D. While tens of thousands of older, poorer, and disenfranchised people have to prove who they are and buy a state ID. Paying a poll tax.

But anyway, I am a Democrat by necessity and not necessarily by choice. My former party abandon me. I still hold fast to most conservative principles. But the conservatives have abandon their principles. Shifting far far to the right. Leaving me holding an empty bag. Therefore, I will gladly vote for President Obama and the Democrats. However, if the Republicans ever come up with a moderate candidate I could support, I just might vote for her. God save us from our stupidity. Amen.

There is good reason to stick with what you know. And avoid the unknown.

To say the Obama administration did not deliver the promises they made in 2008, therefore I will vote for the other party. Such primitive logic is ridiculous statement. It would be like saying this Chevrolet did not get the advertised mileage as promised, therefore I will go with the Nash Rambler the other company makes. Even though the Nash Rambler was the ugliest car ever made. Probably the worse car ever built. A decision resulting in flawed logic.

None the less, had President Obama completed all he had promised, the Republicans would be doubly hopping mad. How would the Republicans have responded to a Universal Health Care law? Or voting in two significant Job bills? Republicans would have been massively livid. Once again asking to repeal such a thing. But the only thing that got in the way of Obama’s plans were the…you guessed it. The Republicans in congress. But anyway, to claim President Obama didn’t produce is like the Republicans being accused of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs. How could he ever get anything done with a stop everything Obama does party motto. And this started from day one. Did you not see this from the get-go? Were you not reading the newspapers back then?

The only policy the Republicans had from January 2009 was to shut down the Obama administration. How could anyone get anything done? That’s why they call the Republican party the Party of NO! Road blockers and constipationist all of them.

But to run to the other party under these circumstances is utter madness. Irrational. Only reactionary and stupid.

I’ll take the Chevrolet any day. The Nash Rambler was just an excuse to sell something for money. The why the American Motors Car company went out of business. And, who was the head of AMC? George Romney. Daddy to Mit.

Don't say anything you wish you hadn't.

I believe it was Adali Stevenson who said, “ If the Republicans would stop lying about the Democrats, the Democrats would stop telling the truth about the Republicans.” This is where we are in 2012. The only defense for the republicans is to lie. Because, the truth hurts and smoke and mirrors is their weapon of choice. Bluster, blow hard, bloviate, blame, besmirch, blast, bash, and belittle the opposition. Just flat out lie and cover up past transgressions with blowing smoke.

Never the less, The truth never lies. Especially when Republicans expose their own foibles and fallacies in the media. And unfortunately for the republicans, they cannot back track and pretend they had never said what they said. I.E., Todd Akin, Mit Romney, and Paul Ryan just to name a few who had tongue slips.

It is oh so apparent now the Republicans are on a downhill decent into the political black hole. A quagmire impossible to come out of. The RNC ticket has been folded, punched, and mutilated. All by self-inflicted wounds. A shot in the foot. Republican Ticket! You are toast! RNC RIP.

Hot button issues ignore the bigger picture.

Voting for a candidate because of one hot button issue is a vote against yourself and the rest of America. Hot button issues will never go away. They will never be resolved. Only because there are enough voters out there who think the opposite of what you do. And, will countermand your vote. All driven by narrow interest politicians with hidden agendas saying almost anything to get your vote.

So let’s focus on real issues that concern tens of millions of Americans. Health care, education, jobs, environment, consumer protection, housing, homeland security, retirement, and the list is almost endless. However, to focus on one emotional issue is counterproductive for all America. The president’s job is not a one issue job. He or she has to work for and assist all citizens of the United States. Vote for the candidate that has the best broad interest for all America. Please set aside business, association, partisan, and religious issues so we can get America back on track. Serving, and protecting everyone from shore to shore and border to border. God bless all Americans. Amen!

Women. You might be in big trouble.

Puzzlement:

Have you been watching the nightly news lately? I don’t understand what is going on here. There are some stodgy, regressive Americans wanting to take away civil and personal rights from women. Wanting to Take them back to the 1890s? Requiring them all to be subservient , and never leave the house? Is this what we Americans want? Is this what women want as well? Why are women not yelling, tweeting, and screaming instead? Do you want to be controlled by old angry white men forever? Then stand up and scream Holy Moly no!!! As my late mother use to say, “I’m mad as an old wet hen and I’m not going to put up with this anymore!”

It seems so much nicer now.

Just like right wing talk radio, left wing talk radio has to manufacture talking points as well. Expanding and inflating stories in order to fill a daily three hour program. It’s doesn’t matter if your are Bill O’Riely or Bill Press. Both have to put a little bloviating yeast into the mix. Making it bigger than it really ought to be. Just add a little bla bla bla and it will quickly rise to the top. Most often rise over the top.

Come on, try to host a 3-hour radio program, five days a week and you quickly run out of talking points. Saying the same thing repeatedly in one program. How many times can you rant about income taxes or reversing welfare reform in one daily talk show? You begin saying the same thing three or four times in one hour. Never mind dozens of times in one day.

Think about it. What more can you say about Mit Romney or President Obama that hasn’t been said by a hundred other talk radio hosts? Therefore, you have to resort to truth expansion. Exaggeration. White lies. Black lies. Hammering and personally attacking the opposition. Calling them every name in the book. Ideologues. Morons. Demigods. Idiots. Ignoramuses. Fatheads. Knuckle draggers. Meatheads. Blowhards. And, the list is completely endless. Are you following me?

My best advice is to put your radio in the closet and read the newspaper. And pretty soon, your disposition will improve. People will begin to say you must have had light therapy or are now taken Prozac. Talking nicer and smiling more often. Oh gee! He sounds like a human being again. See there?
