Liberal Democratic Politics, Discussion and Snark

It’s funny to see the Media and the GOP driving their whaambulances down the slippery slope of  “you’re spending” too much money. Not funny, like haha funny, but funny like breaking your leg and seeing the bone jut out of your skin. That kind of funny.

As I recall there wasn’t much worry about the cost of the war in Iraq, how much money we flushed down the toilet to contracters like KBR and Halliburton. But now Terry Moran of ABC News is all in a fit because President Obama won’t give him a ballpark figure of how much money it’s going to ultimately take to pull this country back from the brink of absolute collapse.

Let’s get this very very straight. If you helped us rush into a war, waste trillions of tax dollars and supported an administration that lied to the American people in order to further the aims of big business and war profiteers, you are not a patriot. You are a criminal.

If you’re now a newly concerned ‘American’ that doesn’t think we ought to do anything about the current fiscal crisis except for cut taxes, well, you’re likely a Republican.

What does it say about you if you would rather have thousands of our troops die in the desert, than build roads and schools for our children here at home? Because that’s the choice you’ve made. And it’s un-American.

Do you know how I know this? Here is the completely unsubstantiated proof.

In other news, Elton John says that America is misogynistic. Well DUH. Thanks Sir Fabulous. But we’re still not voting for Hillary.

Here’s what Sir John had to say about Hillary:

“There is no one more qualified to lead America.”

Sir Elton John did not add: “But what the fuck do I know, I’m a British entertainer who’s incapable of handling fame and dresses funny. Which makes me an expert on what it takes to lead America.”

Right?

Hillary Clinton is at it again, this time making stuff up about health care. You know what this reminds me of? The current administration. Who’s to say she wouldn’t lie us into a war just like George W. Bush? I mean, she can’t even keep her campaign straight.

Here’s what the NY Times had to say about Hillary’s latest lie festival:

Over the last five weeks, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York has featured in her campaign stump speeches the story of a health care horror: an uninsured pregnant woman who lost her baby and died herself after being denied care by an Ohio hospital because she could not come up with a $100 fee.

The woman, Trina Bachtel, did die last August, two weeks after her baby boy was stillborn at O’Bleness Memorial Hospital in Athens, Ohio. But hospital administrators said Friday that Ms. Bachtel was under the care of an obstetrics practice affiliated with the hospital, that she was never refused treatment and that she was, in fact, insured.

“We implore the Clinton campaign to immediately desist from repeating this story,” said Rick Castrop, chief executive officer of the O’Bleness Health System.

How does Hillary expect superdelegates to believe her if she makes up little lies like this to burnish her image? She’s not as bad as Dubya, but it sure comes off like she’s trying. Pathetic.
