If the Republicans win back the House then they plan on letting us relive the bad part of the 90’s:

If President Barack Obama needed any more incentive to go all out for Democrats this fall, here it is: Republicans are planning a wave of committee investigations targeting the White House and Democratic allies if they win back the majority.

Everything from the microscopic – the New Black Panther party – to the massive –- think bailouts – is on the GOP to-do list, according to a half-dozen Republican aides interviewed by POLITICO.

The Republicans aren’t concerned about getting our country back on track, or trying to get their economic agenda through. Their only goal is to demonize the President and sidetrack Congress with a bunch of useless investigations.

I know I am stuck on repeat with this phrase, but it is further proof that Republicans care nothing about the future of our country and only want to play political games. They are the epitome of what is broken in Washington.

Wow the birther queen is crazier than we thought:

What is the real intention of this Kenyan, Indonesian communist usurper? Is it to provide security for us or to destroy our security? Judge for yourself.

Seeing targeted destruction of our economy, our security, dissipation of American jobs, massive corruption in the Government, Congress Department of Justice and Judiciary, it might be time to start rallies and protests using our second amendment right to bare arms and organise in militias.

I have “bare arms” right now since I am wearing a tank top. But seriously – why is this lady allowed to walk free? She might not be the epitome of a right wing extremist, but she is damn close.

I never got a chance to touch on last week’s saga of “Balloon Boy”, so I have to mention now how this is so indicative of the problems with our society.

We now live in a country where people will do anything to get on the teevee. The Heene family is the epitome of this new lust, and now that Mayumi Heene has admitted to it all being a hoax she makes her family the poster child of this sick obsession for fame that plagues our society today.

Our capitalistic economy fuels this need for fame. People are willing to go on national television and embarrass themselves all for the rush of being seen. The Henees did it by appearing on Wife Swap and countless others have done the same by appearing on the plethora of other “reality shows”. Even news organizations have fueled this frenzy. “Hey capture it on your cellphone and send it to us!”. Everyone seems to want that minute of fame if its threw the embarrassment of reality tv or making that YouTube hit.

So when did our society become so obsessed with this need? It seems like families should have a lot more to worry about than just getting famous through some scheme. What’s your take on this and what it says about the American culture?

I can’t say I am sad to see my one Senator leave office, but I do like how he decided to unleash on the southern Republicans:

The GOP’s biggest problem? “We got too many Jim DeMints (R-S.C.) and Tom Coburns (R-Ok.). It’s the southerners. They get on TV and go 'errrr, errrrr.' People hear them and say, ‘These people, they’re southerners. The party’s being taken over by southerners. What they hell they got to do with Ohio?’ ”

This very thing could be seen in last year’s election when the Republicans lost all New England seats. It’s also the epitome of the shrinking tent syndrome plaguing today’s GOP.

Such cute fuckers. Take Robert Stacy McCain. Here’s a main that goes out of his way to avoid the work fuck:

Hell, no! Why the f--- should I lay off a reporter when that g--d--- piece of s--- David Brooks is collecting $300,000 a year to produce two columns of nothingness a week? You can fire me if you want to, or I'll just quit right here and now, because I'll be g--d----d if I'll lay off one more reporter as long as that useless motherf----r David Brook is on the payroll!

But yet he doesn’t mind having things like this on his blog:

And this isn’t an ad. It’s something he actually added. One can only guess that this epitome of right wing blogs sits there looking at this picture and thinking “wow I would just love to f___ her all night. She knows she wants my g_d c_ck.”. Now I wonder if he says that quote literally, or does he fill in the blanks?

Oh – and why does Malkin send people to this guys blog showing that picture? I guess this is part of the whole “family values” thing they push so hard. She does warn them about the profanity (err – blanks), but not about the half naked lady on his site. Maybe Malkin is also saying that same quote that McCain is.

So I ended up watching the Saddleback forum last night. I wasn't sure if I would or not. To me this was a rather large insult against our nation and founding fathers, a view shared by even people of very deep faith.

So what did I think? Well it wasn't bad. I liked the format, and think it would have been better without questions of faith and religion. Obama did exceptionally well. McCain was parsing his stump speech to answer the questions. This did give us a very deep insight into each candidate, and one that should be used to base our voting decisions on. Obama is a man that will listen to the question, go through a thought process and then respond. McCain is like a robot, not thinking about the question, but rather quick to answer. I don't want the later making decisions that will affect the state of our nation.
