Just watching the Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC tonight just makes me realize how much the Republican’s are still in charge in America despite them being out of office for some time.
Erroll Southers, who was completely qualified to take over running the Transport Security Administration, had his nomination supported by virtually everyone. However, ultra-plonker Senator Jim DeMint bought a crazy issue of unionization of the TSA into the mix, turned this into a political fight that Southers couldn’t win no matter what happened, and decided to step down. What is even crazier than Jim DeMint’s pathetic argument was the fact that the Democrats didn’t defend Southers, WTF is going on in the Obama administration? They are behaving like sheep ready to be slaughtered. Listening to Southers on the Rachel Maddow Show tonight he sounds totally brilliant so this is a big loss for America.
What on earth has happened to Health Care Reform? Is there anything left in it that Obama originally promised? Today they announced that pre-existing conditions will be taken out of the bill with exception to those under 19 years of age. Well, I would have thought that pre-existing is relevant when you get older so that means taking it out will not benefit many people at all!
The Supreme Court, in their conservative un-gorgeousness, has decided to lift all restrictions on corporate spending on Federal Campaigns. Now large companies can put all the money they want on the table to get what they want in politics. This will drown out the voice that individuals have in politics, so what will be the point for people to vote on issues if companies are going to get their way all the time. Often large companies go for the Conservative vote and look where this got the country in the last administration, down the financial toilet.
OMG! Don’t get me started on the election in Massachusetts and the win for Scott Brown! The first time in almost 50 years that Democrats haven’t got that seat. Why on earth did Obama leave it so late to motivate his party and the voters? What a wet weekend Martha Coakley was!
To top a bad day in Politics for America we learn tonight that Air America has filed for bankruptcy and is now closed, see the farewell message on their website. This will please the Republican’s a lot! Source Huffington Post.
…and what of all the LGBT legislation Obama promised to address? Nothing has happened! Nothing! I just want to give Obama a shove to get a move on with his promises, to motivate and bring his party together, and stop caving into the Republican’s!
