An Ol' Broad's Ramblings
A “Voice” From The Granola State
Angry voters look to government: Do something!
Americans will remember 2009 as much for the grassroots protests – at “Tea Party” rallies and town hall meetings crashed by conservatives to demonstrations by public-option-favoring anti-war progressives – as the Beltway grudge matches that characterized President Obama’s first year in office.
Crashed? CRASHED????? Is this moron serious???? If it wasn’t for conservatives “crashing” those town hall meetings, a large chunk of people, including elected officials, wouldn’t even have a clue what was going on in this country!
“Voters are angry; I think they’re beyond anger,” says Democratic strategist Darry Sragow. “They’re desperately unhappy and desperately pessimistic, and they have given up hope. This is beyond malaise.”
And just why do you think voters are angry? I don’t suppose it’s because those assjacks in D.C. are destroying what was left of this country, and fighting hard to turn it into a third world country? Naw….that couldn’t be it. We just ALL would love to live in poverty, taxed to death by those oh so ‘well meaning politicians’. BAH! Malaise? Oh yeah…we are all on the verge of a complete breakdown, and y’all won’t like the results. We are sick to death of being pushed over the edge!
“It’s been the most significant erosion of trust that I’ve seen in my lifetime – in the press, financial markets and religious institutions,” Democratic strategist and former White House spokesman Chris Lehane said.
Is this clown serious? Is this yahoo on the same planet?
“California is foreshadowing where the country is heading,” Lehane added. “People have concluded that these institutions are not serving them. And that’s perilous for democracy. It doesn’t work if people don’t trust in their government to make decisions.”
Oh peachy. So, the rest of the country is suppose to follow the People’s Republic of Kalifornia into the crapper? The problem with ‘these institutions’ is that they are invading every aspect of our lives, and destroying liberty. The rest of the country does NOT want to be Kalifornia! We all think you guys are nuts! With a few exceptions, of course, and you know who you are!
“There’s no question that historically, the first midterm of a new president, by any analysis, is a tough election for the party in power,” says Lehane. “The Democrats walked into a situation where the economy was headed to another Great Depression.”
Oh, I don’t think they have any clue just how tough it’s going to be this time around, contrary to Queen Nanny’s proclamation. And I have no doubt that if they had just stopped tinkering, we would have recovered with no problem, instead of all facing financial ruin. Well, except for the fat cat politicians in the new Politburo.
But Obama’s efforts to pass a stimulus package and advance major initiatives on jobs, health care reform and climate change policy – while confronting the huge costs of the war in Afghanistan and Iraq – were met with Republican resistance and often-effective grassroots opposition to higher taxes and spending and the growing deficit.
Isn’t it past time to stop blaming Bush for all the ills of the country. Seems to be it was Democrats who refused to allow anyone to reign in the gubmint entities like Fannie and Freddie. Hmmm… It also seems to be that crap sandwich they call a ‘stimulus package’ has only stimulated the government. And they are surely spiraling out of control!
Americans “get the disconnect, the feeling that we’re in uncharted territory and things aren’t going to be the same,” Sragow said. “(They’re saying) the government can’t do its basic business, so how can they address the problems?”
Pfft! This government is about as useless as teats on a boar! A bunch of juvenile delinquents with access to OUR checkbook, and it’s massively overdrawn!
As they finish 2009 and look to a new year, Americans will be “looking to elected officials to figure it out,” he said. “They want someone to say, ‘This is the America we want to have, and this is what we need to do to get there.’ “
Uh, no, actually WE don’t. You left coast libs might want someone telling you want to do, but out here in the REAL America, we have the capability of making decisions for ourselves. We, especially in the South, are rather independent minded. So, here’s a message from one of the “Angry Voters”…..
DO NOTHING AND GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR WAY!
Granola=Nuts,Fruits andFlakes
Yup! That’s the one!
Israel: The Land of Milk and Honey.
California: The Land of Fruits and Nuts.
Ironically, these guys are so clueless they don’t realize they are right but for reasons 180 degrees opposite of what they are saying.
