When Dogs Chase Their Own Tails

The GOP thought that the attack on the US consulate in Bengazi was going to be a "game changer" that was going to lead to a Romney victory. That turned out not to be the case. Still the GOP, stubborn and stupid as ever, are using the incident to attack Susan Rice, potentially the next Secretary of State. Their allegations that Rice and the Obama administration "lied" to the American people has no credibility. Considering that the GOPers allowed the Bush administration to lie about the War in Iraq. Who the hell are these morons anyway?

A Nation In Stalemate

While it's a good thing that President Obama was re-elected and the Senate remained in Deomcratic control, the GOP remains in control of the House of Reps. Concern is mounting about the fiscal cliff. Everything is up in the air.

Vote Like the World Depends On It

The day before the most important election of this century. Polls show the President with a considerable lead. He should get 277 electoral votes (270 needed to win).

Still we must consider the possibility of Romney winning. If Romney becmes the next President what will happen? His economic polices will of course be a disaster. He will probably invade Iran attempting to provide a distraction. This will further destabilize the Middle East. One consequnece will be that the price of oil will increase to astronomical levels leading to a global economic collapse of unimaginable proportions. And the prospects for 2016? What about the end of civilization as we know it.

Any White Guy Will Do

A recent poll by the Associated Press shows that 52% of white Amnericans harbor negative attitudes towards Blacks and other minorities. This is in contrast to 2008 when 48% did so. The apparent worsening of racial bias, if it is true, is troubling. It would suggest that racism has become an extricable part of American life and culture.

The politics of racism has been going on since Reconstruction, if not earlier. If it has fallen right now, maybe it never will. Or what can you say except "It was billionaire jagoffs like Mitt Romney who took your job, your home, and your future. But I guess the privilege of having a white skin is more important."

The Best and Brightest?

While the dust hasn't settled about last night's debate, so it's not entirely clear who won. Still, Romney claimed that Syria is Iran's "route to the sea." Is it possible that Romney is igonrant of the existence of the Persian Gulf? Or that Syria and Iran don't even have a common border? This is from a guy who graduated from Harvard with graduate degrees in law and business. And he doesn't know geography? Sheesh!

Romney is Pointless

Reading Romney's Five Point Plan for the economy is an excercise in incongruity. His energy plan is basically "drill away," but what about the environmental costs? Who's going to pay for that? He also wants to cut the deficit while reducing taxes on business; voodoo economics all over again. I don't see how anybody can take this seriously.

Tonight is the final presidential debates. Supposedly it will focus on foreign policy. I just hope the President doesn't blow it.

Romney In A Bind

Mitt Romney's performance at Tuesday night's debate reveals his problems with half the electorate. He trying to claim that as Governor he had tried increase the hiring of women but he made a remark of about "binders full of women" that didn't go down so well. He also blamed single mothers for crime. And he has also jumped on the GOP's anti-birthcontrol campaign. Does this mean that Romney has a problem with women? Maybe not with the women of his own class. But he does seem to lack empathy for the people who weren't born with his privileges.
