11/2/2010 (Lamprey Eel is toast)

Unknown
edited November 2010 in Strut Central
Just a little over 24 hours until the polls open on the east coast.

Come Tuesday evening I'll be sitting at the bar at the Antlers hotel, watching the returns/results from around the nation.

I plan to drink a lot of champagne.

As Flounder would say: "Oh boy this is gonna' be great!"

    For a second there I thought someone was comparing a midterm election with a tragedy that resulted in well over one and a half thousand lives lost but then sanity kicked in and I realised no one could be that much of a bellend so it must instead be referring to this pulsating cheeky little number.

    Ideology is one thing. But if the tea-partiers do well next week, especially if the Republicans capture the House, they need to move past ideology into the realm of practical policy. This means having something serious to say about how actually to bring spending under control. To date, they have preferred breezy slogans. Will they cut into pensions and Medicare, and if so how? Will they accept that taming the deficit will require hikes in taxes as well as cuts in spending? Will they continue to oppose reflexively every measure of a Democratic administration, or have the courage to share responsibility for the painful decisions the times demand? It has been all too easy from the outside to conjure up a mythic America of limited government, sing hymns to the constitution and denounce the federal bureaucracy in all its forms. Once they are in government themselves, that gig will be over.

    I voted Democrat for 15 years and am a registered Democrat in Bucks County, but I've lost faith. All the Dems have done is raise my taxes and put them in these "programs" that don't do shit. So yeah... if they lose out, I won't be surprised.

    Don't you see? This is the SECOND AMERICAN REVOLUTION! The people are rising up against commie nazi socialist DemonCraps, forever casting them asunder! Obama's radicalism has awakened a sleeping giant that will never sleep again!

    So the Dems lose the House, keep the Senate, and we get two long years of weird teabaggers proposing insane bills that the Senate won't pass and Obama wouldn't sign even if they did.

    In other words, nothing. For two years the teabaggers have been whining non-stop but they've had no responsibility for anything. Now it's up to them to produce, and I don't think they're up to it because they're fucking nuts.

    Should be fun.

    Obama's Waterloo will be when he suffers the total humiliation of defeat when he loses to a challenger in his own party in the next Presidential primary. :lol:

    Ideology is one thing. But if the tea-partiers do well next week, especially if the Republicans capture the House, they need to move past ideology into the realm of practical policy. This means having something serious to say about how actually to bring spending under control. To date, they have preferred breezy slogans. Will they cut into pensions and Medicare, and if so how? Will they accept that taming the deficit will require hikes in taxes as well as cuts in spending? Will they continue to oppose reflexively every measure of a Democratic administration, or have the courage to share responsibility for the painful decisions the times demand? It has been all too easy from the outside to conjure up a mythic America of limited government, sing hymns to the constitution and denounce the federal bureaucracy in all its forms. Once they are in government themselves, that gig will be over.

    Not really.

    They have no interest in governing, or governance beyond cutting taxes and raising spending, for the wealthy, rich and uberrich.
    They have just come off 12 years of running things and are enjoying being downtrodden.

    So what we will see from them are corporate tax breaks, socialism for agri-biz, and other cronyism.
    That stuff will get little or no press.

    What will get lots of press will be legislation to outlaw the use of Sharia law in the US.
    Anti-immigrant laws such as AZ 1070.
    And other nonsense attacking Muslims, immigrants, Latinos, GLBT, and the poor.

    Anyone who opposes these laws will be Muslim or socialist or worse.

    Do you support the practice of Sharia Law in the U.S.??
