2012 Theatre Part 2




I have been trying to find the words to convey to my friends on the right without being harsh. I know this post will fail that standard. There is a problem in what you have done.

You made mistakes that have become a case study for future political science students.

You became caricatures, cartoonish, and above all lacking of anything of value.

 

I remember in 1994, you came into office with a plan and carried it out! It was a well-played hand. You showed that you were about getting things done. But fast forward just six years…

 

You lost your damn minds!

 

You started to act more like the Kool-Aid drinkers that those pouring the Kool-Aid.

You STOLE…YES YOU STOLE A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION! Now many of you will say “why bring up irrelevant issues?”  My retort is simple…the Supreme Court is NOT where the elections are settled…it’s the congress! It’s the damn law! How in the hell did a group of 9 unelected, unaccountable people could determine who could be president if it isn’t the law?

 

That was NOT enough was it? 9/11…

 

The administration allowed an attack with our own planes! Not that you weren’t informed…

 


 

You knew this was coming…you just didn’t care.

 

Then instead of getting a special ops team to get OBL…you started a war! Then you…oh wait…you started two wars! All the while, ignoring the man that you promised America you would bring to justice!

 

But that wasn’t enough; during war you cut taxes, a move that was historically unprecedented.

 

Oh but that wasn’t enough for you either…you started to believe the bullshit you pedal to the masses. While the economic landscape was imploding, you just kept moving along with primaries of members of the party that couldn’t win no matter who was the opponent. Then you selected McCain…he selected another Kool-Aid drinker…Sarah Palin. Did you go to him and say…”ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY!” You selected a third tier weather girl to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?

 

With every move you gave away credibility…

 

But your biggest mistake was accomplished in 2010. Senatorial candidates that were more of a SNL character than the SNL characters themselves. You took the house and gave away the Senate. 

 

Then when it came time to prove that you had learned from your mistakes…you doubled down on them. You became obstructionists, political cock blockers, the party of… NO way will we do anything. Instead of coming in and making shit better and showing America that with the next president being from your party, you decided to show America…your ass. As you reigned over the president, blaming him for no jobs, it must have slipped your mind that you made promises as well. You forgot that when you were in power before jobs left the country quicker than Paul Ryan’s fraudulent marathon times.

 

Nope you didn’t mirror Newt Gingrich’s 1994 party moves…instead you brought the philandering petulant cry baby to the presidential primaries. What’s even more incredible he was one of the better options to choose from? The only other one was George Romney’s son. I call him that because that’s the only thing that got him as far as he did. Did nothing at Bain except make money off of other people’s hard work, as a governor he was mediocre at best, for the Olympics he didn’t save it, he…say it with me…had the government bail it out. But yes, George’s kid wanted the auto industry to fold and then bragged about his father’s past to defend his position. Son, you are no George Romney, he was a man of values and principles, and you gained fortune from the shade he created for you. When it was time to take a stand, you developed feet of clay. You showed the American people that you had no plan, no vision, but a truckload of promises. You presented promises in the form of results and never gave a single clue as to how the results would manifest, except to say that a “vote for me will make things better” because I'm not the black guy.

 

Video footage of your class privilege didn’t bury you, saying that “corporations are people too” didn’t bury you, and the fact that the white electorate shrinking didn’t bury you.

 

You failed the only test that all presidential candidates get:

 

Does the electorate like you?

 

Does the electorate know you?

 

Does the electorate trust you?

 

But that wasn’t enough for the party was it?

 

You needed to repeat 2010…you put the Kool-Aid drinkers out in front to run for office!

 

WTF! WTH! WHY?!

 

You can’t blame Karl Rove for this! He played the hand he was dealt!

The crazies were running the asylum!

 

You found the legitimate rape candidates…

The WWE candidates…really you didn’t learn from the fact that she was a loser in 2010 that her money was no good in 2012?

You found all the angry white men to be out in the forefront…

Ever seen Rush Limbaugh run for office? Ever seen Ann Coulter say hey I want to be a senator? Do you know why? They make money by being controversial!

Politician don’t make controversy…they make policy!

 

You forgot your job was to serve the people and skim off the top!

 

You got stupid by running the stupidest!

 

Never use your supply as a drug dealer, but you just ran the Kool-Aid up your nose!

 

And in the end…

 

You overdosed on your own supply.
 
Because you could NOT get enough.

Somebody...




Imagine for a moment that there is someone for everyone…

 

Doesn’t that make you smile, happy, and for some relieved. Now what that means that there are skinny people that like bigger people and vice-versa. Size matters to a size queen, but there are also queens that want a king to fill them up and the have a lesser requirement. Isn’t it grand that for every man that wants a top heavy woman, there is another that a handful is enough?

 

Instead of listing each and every match, let’s just make it simple…different strokes for different folks.

 

But my point is the first sentence and…a lesson in acceptance and positivity.

Everyone has a preference, a picture in their mind that makes our sexual core sing. Just as we all are an individual yin and yang, there are pictures that don’t hit the right note. I wonder sometimes is the focus on the wrong note a commentary on what we see or who we are. Are we truly a solo project that seeks expansion of our small world to facilitate a view that we share and seek to impose it on everyone else? Doesn’t that take away that somebody for me, somebody for you, somebody for us all? If what you hold dear takes away from someone else, do you truly believe in love matches? Has judgment become so constrictive that the only song that is heard is the only beat you can dance to?

 

Love is like song…like music. Can we honestly say one beat is best, or better than all the rest? If it works for you, looking at how it makes you feel can help you see that you want the whole world to feel that way…HAPPY!

 

Happy is all we want, somebody to love us and somebody for us to love. If nothing is wrong with two adults loving each other how can there be one physical or emotional type to satisfy us all. Thousands of beautiful songs walk by us every day. Old love, new love, fast love, slow love, big love, small love, and growing love everyday making two people happy…what more can one ask for?

 

What more should you ask for?

 

I know when it comes to love I want the world to feel like I feel…with someone that gives them that feeling…happy and loved.

2012 Theatre

 
 
 
So it’s over…




No more election…




No more left vs. right…




Before we as a nation comes together…




Time for some truth…




1. When a skinny kid with a funny name gave the keynote speech in 2004, I knew…


This was a two term president.




2. Bill Clinton wasn’t the great help that you think.




3. This was NOT a choice of a lesser evil.




4. Obama’s role isn’t what you think it is or should be.




5. You blew a great opportunity and Obama bailed you out.




Now, let’s address each one…




When the president won in 2008, the left did what they do best…lose in the face of victory. MSNBC, like all the rest of the other conservative media outlets focused on the Tea party for the next two years. How in the hell did a record in two years create a health care plan, equal pay for women, Pell grants removed from the banks, bailed out the auto industry, and…and…and…and…and…and…(you get my point) get a focus of the tea party? I know…its great theatre for both sides. The left over reacts and the right feels emboldened. All the while, President Obama kept…being the president…he kept working. Not campaigning, not patting himself on the back, and not crying about a record number of filibusters. He went to work and stayed that way. He was re-elected because of his record showed vision.




Bill Clinton didn’t explain shit…did Flavor Flav explain what Chuck D was saying? Oh you think that white people needed a white (knight) man to come stand by President Obama and explain that he put two women into the Supreme Court, one being a Latina, he made it possible for savings in health care that people still don’t have the initiative to check on to understand what no co-pays mean or no pre-existing conditions stopping you from health care coverage means? President Obama signed into law that had previous presidents done Lilly Ledbetter would have been able to sue to be compensated for not getting equal pay for equal work. President Obama did these things while having obstruction and a Congress that did nothing for two long years! You really think people needed to have that explained? BULLSHIT!




In simple terms…Romney did the unthinkable…he stumbled in every step he made. While I understand that many very politically ignorant people see a perception of our political landscape of no difference or a lesser of two evils, I will say one thing…one side tried during their term…the other side allowed two separate 9/11s, one financial, the other violent during their term. Still don’t see a difference? Then you are the problem.




One of the things I have seen as President Obama has governed is a management quality that really should be what the presidents in the future should emulate. Imagine what a stronger Democratic congress could have accomplished had it appreciated and acted on his management example. He, the president is a constitutional lawyer…it showed. The president isn’t supposed to defend or explain a congressional law…that’s CONGRESS’ RESPONSIBILTIY! Bully pulpits should have never been in the hands of one man…it is the responsibility of a Congress speaking in unison. The fact that they couldn’t even explain the ACA or defend it in the 2010 election proves that they deserved what happened. It spoke to the lack of good representatives and senators on the left. Couple that with a large absence of the liberal votes in 2010 and there is a switch in the House.




GO VOTE! GO VOTE! GO VOTE! GO VOTE!




That was all I said for four years! But nooooooooooooo! In 2010 you bailed! You forgot about what I like to call the “next big thing sell.” You see when there is something hot people jump on the band wagon (remember the 2008 Obama campaign) and they want to know what has you so excited…I SAID YOU! NOT PRESIDENT OBAMA! NOT NANCY PELOSI! NOT BILL CLINTON! You forgot to sell the “next big thing” because you didn’t get what YOU wanted…or should I say YOU didn’t know what you had. In 2008 YOU had hope evolve into change and could see the damn change. The ACA wasn’t change? Ask the man with CANCER and bills of 210 thousand dollars with a health care plan that has a 200 thousand dollar ceiling has change happened? Ask the parent of a newborn with a birth defect is there change. Ask the woman who was born a pre-existing condition is there change. No you didn’t see change because you were…disappointed. Aint that a bitch? It’s like you found out you were multi-orgasmic and left the partner that did that for you because they gave you eight orgasms instead of nine! What more did you want? Did you think Allen West, Mitch McConnell, or Mitt Romney would give it to you? Damn people, politics is a slow and messy process! Eight is enough to be considered progress!



But President Obama did exactly what he does so very well…when the switch was needed to be pulled…HE PULLED IT! He didn’t mention what he did every day, he didn’t come out with a “vision”, he already had a record and he stood by it. He didn’t even need to bash his competitor…Romney did it for him!




You stayed pensive and hopeful in an environment of change. I saw more enthusiasm for the iPhone 5! But President Obama and VP Biden came out swinging while you argued with trolls and cried on left wing radio.




Face facts…he bailed out your doubts with a ground game that did what you couldn’t do…they walked in truth…of change.


Care to join the band wagon?


Care to accept that YOU are the change YOU have been waiting for?


Or are you going to waste valuable time trying to “push the president to the left?”


Time to make the Congress blue and the right bluer with more change!
