The GOP’s Funny Man
As many of you know, I am currently really disappointed with the Republican candidates, especially Rick Perry. While I don’t mean to harp on just one candidate, I’m going to on this one. I can’t help it, he really irritates the heck out of me. I’m sure I’m not the only one…
So Rick Perry has enlisted the so-called “Heavy Hitters” to his campaign staff. Come on, really? These clowns fit in with the Perry camp like clowns fit in at the Ringling Brothers Circus. These poor saps have very few, if any, victories in any political campaign, and now they are stuck fighting for Rick Perry. Talk about the ultimate career-ender. This guy is so out of touch that his new “Tax-Plan”, cuts taxes on the rich (once again), and taxes the heck out of everyone else. He really and truly believes it’s a great plan. I’m not so sure he even knows what he’s selling. This guy is completely out there.
Unfortunately, he actually thinks he has a chance at the White House with his new tax-plan. Well, in all honesty, he may have just bought the White House with this plan. That is, of course, under the current system of plutocrats buying their way into everything. Congress, The Senate, and The White House are all for sale in our current system. If we, as the people, were to fight to change the system and make it so getting into office isn’t so profitable and secure, then he wouldn’t be in the race. Most of them wouldn’t be.
The Republican party has turned into the party that wants to keep people unemployed, keep our country at war, and create a bigger divide between the rich and the poor. They are successfully killing the Middle-Class and destroying our country, piece by piece. Unbelievably, they mostly want Perry as their poster boy. And why not, Perry is the most dangerous one out of the bunch. Just take a look at Texas, he's leaving the great state ranking 50th in everything that is important (education, healthcare, etc.). He now wants to employ every failed “trickle-down” policy from the last 30 years. It seems as though he wants to lead us all the way back to the 1920’s. He is way off the deep end, or one beer shy of a six-pack (depending on which part of the country your from).
Perry actually said on a CNBC interview that he has not seen Obama’s grades, and that “mine were on the front-page, where are his”? Can you believe the arrogance coming from the same guy who barely skirted the “ni**er-head ranch” debacle? He is proving that his “good ole’ boy” image is nothing more than a brainless, wanna-be racist image. This tough guy image that he and Bush are famous for, is nothing more than a show to hide his ignorance. Drop him off in Brooklyn and let’s see how he does.
If we don’t fight to change the system, a guy like Perry could end up in the White House. We can not continue to allow our Democracy to be bought and paid for. It is not for sale! Write your “elected officials”, and I mean write them, everyday that you can. Bug the heck out of them. After all, you are their constituents, they are supposed to listen right? Well let me tell you from personal experience, if they want to keep their jobs, they will listen. If not, let them know at polls come the next elections. Fight back or we’ll never win!

Perry Still Thinks He Has a Chance
The GOP’s Funny Man...
So Rick Perry has enlisted the so-called “Heavy Hitters” club. Come on, really? These clowns fit in with the Perry camp like clowns fit in at the Ringling Brothers Circus. These poor saps have very few, if any, victories in any political campaign, and now they are stuck fighting for Rick Perry. Talk about the ultimate career-ender. This guy is so out of touch that his new “Tax-Plan”, cuts taxes on the rich (once again), and taxes the hell out of everyone else. He really and truly believes it’s a great plan. I’m not so sure he even knows what he’s selling. This guy is completely out there.
Unfortunately, he actually thinks he has a chance at the White House with his new tax-plan. Well, in all honesty, he may have just bought the White House with this plan. That is, of course, under the current system of plutocrats buying their way into everything. Congress, The Senate, and The White House are all for sale in our current system. If we, as the people, were to fight to change the system and make it so getting into office isn’t so profitable and secure, then he wouldn’t be in the race. Most of them wouldn’t be.
When you look at all of the polls from the last few months, none of the Republican candidates even stand a chance against Obama one on one. Whether that’s a good thing, remains to be seen. I honestly believe that Obama needs another term in office in order to accomplish what he is trying to do. The main thing I give Obama credit for is that he actually has a plan, he’s had a few, but Republicans refuse to give him a chance. Can you believe that Mitch McConnell, said that the portion of Obama’s job plan to keep firefighters and police on the job, is a "bail-out"? These do-nothing Republicans actually filibustered the American Jobs Act, without an alternative plan in place. Idiots…
Republican’s (with the exception of Ron Paul) have all dogged the hell out of Obama for bringing the troops home. The Iraqis want us to go home... why is that so difficult to understand? They say we will look back and see this as one of the biggest defeats in our history. Really? We toppled a dictator and gave the Iraqi’s the democracy they wanted. We’re done. Time to go home.
The Republican party has turned into the party that wants to keep people unemployed, our country at war, and create a bigger divide between the rich and the poor. They are successfully killing the Middle-Class and destroying our country, piece by piece. And once again, Perry is the most dangerous one. Much like the wake of devastation he left behind in Texas, leaving the great state ranking 50th in everything that is important. He now wants to employ every failed “trickle-down” policy from the last 30 years. It seems as though he wants to lead us all the way back to the 1920’s. He is way off the deep end, or one beer shy of a six-pack (depending on what part of the country your from).
Perry actually said in a CNBC interview that he has not seen Obama’s race on his birth certificate and that “mine is on the front-page everyday, where is his”? Can you believe the arrogance coming from the same guy who barely skirted the “ni**er-head ranch” debacle? He is proving that his “good ole’ boy” image is nothing more than a brainless wanna-be racist Texan image. This tough guy image that he and Bush made Texans famous for, is nothing more than a show. Drop him off in Brooklyn and see how he does there.

Now Is The Time To Bring About Change
As an American, I feel like we should be leading the pack on this front, but I came to realize that we are the fools in this ordeal. The situation in this country is worse than most other countries around the world. So much so, that illegal immigration from "the border" has been at zero for most of the year. In fact, it looks like we will end the year at zero immigration from Mexico. Has it gotten so bad that life is better in Mexico? Well, let's take a brief look at some of the facts.
In Mexico City for example, the job market is increasingly surpassing the job market in most major cities in America. More people in Mexico have better access to health-care than we do, hourly wages are more than they are here, and the overall cost of living is much cheaper than in the U.S.. When most of the cartels have moved to our side of the border, what does that tell you? It's now easier to run a drug-smuggling ring from the U.S. than it is in Mexico... It's almost unbelievable!
The situation in our country has gotten so bad, that countries we once considered "third-world" are doing better than we are. So what gives you ask? Well, before we jump on the bandwagon of attacking all of the politicians, banks, and Wall Street, stop and think about it. Who let it get this bad? Who let the banks and Wall Street start "buying-in" to Congress, the Senate, and The White House? WE DID! And who can take it back? WE CAN, AND WE WILL!!
Want to know how? Pay attention, not to me (I'm just another pissed-off individual like the rest of you), but to everyone who is proposing constitutional amendments to bring about change. Some proposed amendments like Dylan Ratigan's "Get Money Out" of politics, and Warren Buffets "Congressional Reform Act of 2011", would certainly make a huge difference. And while this could work in theory, I don't think the "monsters" in office (who we elected) will let it happen.
So the next approach from this point is to write, write, write. Give your elected officials hell. I know most people don't think this actually has any effect. But, I can tell you from personal experience that it does. Last year I fought for school finance, and I wrote my elected officials (along with many other people), at the state and federal level. And let me say, that we got plenty of attention for some of our ideas and proposals. Before I knew it, I was in discussions with State Senator Steve Ogden, and I also managed to get the Texas Educators Association (TEA) behind the proposals. With that kind of backing you can bet we were getting some attention. The end result was that the State of Texas increased the budget for public schools, but the Federal Government sent some huge cuts our way.
My point is, that it really is that simple. While my case didn't get all of the results I wanted. We did get the attention of elected officials on a State level and got them to free-up some money from the Permanent Education Fund, which in turn, off-set most of the cuts from our fine Government. While ole' Rick Perry would love to take credit for this, he can't. He wasn't even here. The people are the ones that pulled together and made it happen. He is the biggest "do-nothing" Governor in Texas history, if not U.S. History (but that's another story).
So as they laugh at all of us over the "Occupation", now is the time for the next step. Pestering politicians. Email, write, or call these arrogant schmucks! Flood their offices with your story, your ideas, your solutions, and most importantly your displeasure with the current State of the Union. While it is relatively simple, it only works with numbers. Just like the "Occupation", they won't even look our way if we're not represented by massive numbers. Let's get the "real party" started, and make a difference. Together we can empower our Nation... Now is the time!
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD!!!
