When the Allies began their assault on Fortress Europe, Eisenhower laid out the groundwork for all to see including the enemy. There would be no settlement of the conflict other than unconditional surrender. It was acknowledged that completely wiping out Germany was our objective, and therefore any means necessary to do so, would be employed.
It also communicated to the Germans that once we began overpowering them, that they were eventually going to lose.
It is with that same foresight and passion that we must assail the biggest enemy America has faced since. The Republican Tax Cuts. These have crippled a nation once so economically strong it was going to pay off its entire debt by 2008. These cuts have destroyed an entire class of people, the middle class, who now are scrambling to figure not just how to live well, but how to survive retirement until their death. Meanwhile, copious amounts of the middle class monies have been sucked up by the giant vacuum cleaners of insurance companies, medical billing companies, gas stations and utilities, all funneling into the pockets of 1% of our citizens. The 99% are left with nothing.
The Republicans are in disarray. Laura Ingram is calling for Mitt Romney to start swinging. Rush Limbaugh is yelling for Mitt Romney to get up off the mat. Bill O’Reilly is screaming for Mitt to start punching. Sean Hannity is foaming at the mouth for Romney to start hitting Obama.. It reminds you exactly of what happens in a ring, when one of the boxers begins to get groggy from getting hit too much, and at that point, you can tell it is just a matter of time.
Do not relax and wait for a split decision. Now is the time to go in for the kill. Left, left, left, stomach, right, left, stomach, left, left, right, right, right, and with every hit, remember every family that has lost its bread winner, with every hit, remember every family that has lost its house, with every hit, remember every family whose pension got stolen by corporate America, with ever hit, remember every tax dollar not paid by the obnoxiously wealthy, with every hit, remember it is what brings America back up off its knees.
All democrats are responsible. This is not a battle between two candidates. It is a battle for the soul of America. On one hand you have all that is good: hard work, family, health, retirement, owning ones own home, self respect, honor, and integrity, and on the other side, you have people who think they have the God given right to make themselves rich off your hard work and pay you nothing for your efforts.
It is a war between mankind, and bacteria. Up to now the bacteria was winning.
Here is what every Democrat needs to do up to November 6… Whoever, wherever, however, whatever, whenever one of these infectious Republicans opens their mouth, you respond with these five words.
I’m…… sorry….. That’s …… Not…….. True……..
National Healthcare is unconstitutional and must be repealed/ I’m sorry, that’s not true.
We need to cut taxes, cutting taxes creates jobs/ I’m sorry, that is not true.
We need to nuke Iran today, not one city, the entire country/ I’m sorry, that is not true.
We need to invade Syria right now/ I’m sorry, that is not true.
We need to eliminate Social Security to balance the budget/ I’m sorry that is not true.
The Republicans have a working budget; the Democrats won’t pass it/ I’m sorry that is not true.
The Republicans worship God; the Democrats worship Satan/ I’m sorry, that is not true.
The Republicans could fix America if it just weren’t for Democrats/ I’m sorry, that is not true.
If billionaires pay one penny more in taxes, the entire solar system will explode/ I”m sorry, that is not true.
Grover Norquist came from God, he is not mortal/ I’m sorry, that is not true.
Giving poor people the right to healthcare is un-American/ I’m sorry, that is not true.
The only reason we have unemployment is because people are too lazy to work/ I’m sorry, that is not true.
As long as there is one Burger King job unfilled, there should be no unemployment insurance/ I’m sorry, that is not true.
I’m sick of people doing nothing and getting welfare, while billionaires do nothing and pay no taxes/ I’m sorry, that is not true.
That was fun, but you get the point. Whether around the water cooler, at a bar, on the bus, in the church basement, with the old man, on Rick Jensens talk show, ……. it is time to stop the lying. and when you do, others around you will say you are exactly right, and pile on that republican so he won’t know what to say next.
As Americans it is our duty to swear that, as citizens of the United States of America, it is our duty to keep up the fight until we get unconditional surrender in November….
Unconditional Surrender in November.

Part 1
I’m sorry to have to say this to you Willard Romney,
but the science is overwhelming; the results of denial, are horrific.
The natural systems of the earth are faltering – as the richest and most powerful nations are not even attempting to show up at the table to take action. Shamefully, America is at the top of that list of failures.
The greedy blunder of the powerful is, to fight for ‘sustain growth’ for the rich and powerful; growth that further destroys the environment; when a ‘sustainable environment,’ is what we need to work at and is where the ‘jobs’ are, in order for there to be, an American economy at all.
I’m sorry to have to say this, but you’re party’s over Willard.
We need a government of all democrats, so they can straighten things out, pass the laws that need to be passed.
Romney says a lot of contradicting things. But make no mistake, he is against cap and trade, against a CO2 tax and against regulation of industry. Making the plan complete – Romney has called global warming a ‘myth.’
Sorry to have to say this Willard, but I believe you have no idea what you said a year ago, six months ago or last week.
(Excuse me for repeating the following, but it’s important.)
Rmoney’s many dumb and contradicting quotes are brought to the public attention, but the following Rmoney quote (April 16, 2012, Allentown, Pa. primary speech,) was ignored, maybe because it involved people of ‘the developing world.’
Allentown, Pennsylvania – At a rally early Thursday morning Republican Presidential candidate Willard Mitt Romney spent part of speech addressing the United State’s role in the developing world, in which he revealed his view of global warming, (as well as his intentions regarding anthropogenic climate change.)
“As President my Policy of Denial will be much more beneficial to those nations and their citizens. I don’t believe in the science. I reject the dismal outlook. I do not accept the gloomy predictions.”
Sorry to have to say this Willard, but the science is real, the outlook dismal, the predictions, gloomy.
Not only that, but for the most part, I blame republicans – their denial, their efforts to continue polluting as usual, bring us to a really gloomy future.
Romney makes clear, his ‘official policy.’
“Under the Romney Administration the US will have an ‘Official Policy of Denial.’ This will do away with the myth of Global Warming and as a result the third world will not suffer from drought, famine, rising sea levels and killer heat waves.” End quote.
Romney’s ‘official’ policy as candidate for President includes:
Official Policy of Denial
Official backer of CO2 pollution
His view of global warming as a myth
And perhaps, a disregard for “third world” people.
Unfortunately, the above helped Rmoney land the on the ticket.
Hundreds of millions of dollars will be thrown at Willard M. Romney, perhaps hundreds of millions of dollars from petroleum and petroproduct corporate giants from around the world, in an effort to get Rmoney elected.
Republicans, all along, have been working the machinery that produces riches for the elite, the machinery that will destroy the environment of the planet. Americans are held hostage, dependent and addicted to polluting power, fossil fuel energy, petro jobs, transportation, etc. (as well as the addictions to material consumption.) Republicans still tell gullible voters, climate change is a hoax, or not caused by man, or uncontrollable by man, until eventually they will say climate change is too far advanced for man to control. And the ultra rich and greedy, will have the filthy product, that an America turned third world, will need until their demise. Sounds like, a pill peddler prescribing pain pills for an overdose, instead of sending the patient to physical therapy.
America needs to end it’s fossil fuel addiction, drastically reduce it’s CO2 output and start using alternative energy.
Drilling offshore, on public lands, removing mountain tops, fracking, piping, burning and free releasing without regulations, without limits, without a CO2 tax, without responsibility (the American corporate dream,) means more fossil fuel ‘pollution as usual,’ more profits by pollution. A favorite polluters trick – call fossil fuels affordable while calling alternative energy too costly, as the real costs of fossil fuels, are passed on to the public, in the free released polluting by-product, in this case CO2.
In the case of released anthropogenic CO2, damage costs are so tremendous, so varied, so widespread, they’re incalculable. But the republicans would rather claim, the climate change costs are ‘Zero’ because it’s all a ‘myth.’
Sorry to have to say this Willard, but you lie.
Decades of scientific studies, every federal agency preparing for climate change, thousand of climate scientists from countries around the world agreeing, tens of thousands of ice cores,mathematical calculations, computer programs, space photography, tens of thousands of graphs, charts, measurements, conferences, approved peer reviews, etc. prove it.
And even though American families’ lives dependent upon it, people are to trust what you say?
Sorry to have to say this Willard, but those were the most thoughtless, and contradicting statements regarding climate change ever – until I noticed in April 2012, due to your ‘official policy of denial’ you did decide to do away with the ‘myth’ of global warming? Then I noticed, in another interview, 6/11 you had said, “I think it’s important for us to reduce our emissions of pollutants and greenhouse gases that may well be significant contributors to the climate change and global warming that you’re seeing.” Oh no! 4 conflicting opinions from the same man – who wants to be President! Then this,“Gov. Romney does not think greenhouse gases are pollutants within the meaning of the Clean Air Act, and he does not believe that the EPA should be regulating them,” said Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul, attempting to clear up Romney’s latest statement. “CO2 is a naturally occurring gas. Humans emit it every time they exhale.” she added, sounding much like a Georgetown De birther.

Part 2 of 3
The average American is already sweating their addiction to fossil fuels, as they will pay their CO2 releasing, coal fired utility bills through heat wave after heat wave, turning their thermostat down a degree, hoping the kids won’t end up suffering in the middle of a freak ‘brown out;’ as farmers toss dead chickens, loose over heated livestock, have their crops damaged; as communities are turned to waste by extreme storms, as towns restrict water usage; merchants – close their empty shops, as millions stay indoors to be able to breathe, avoid heat stroke; avoiding spending, to save for the next coal fired utility bill.
People have a right to be angry about a forced dependency on fossil fuel products – that has now come back to damage them – in the form of climate change. It’s like having to buy tainted supplies, from the plantation owner.
But it comes as no surprise. Scientist have been warning the government about CO2 pollution for 20 years.
We have a government without a conscience; industries without responsibility; a military that defends big oil machinery; educational systems producing grads without solutions; media that speaks for consumerism, as republicans work to continue, ‘pollution per usual.’
Rmoney will call climate change, anything anyone tells him to call it. But it is the children who will have to face the most treacherous futures. Many children already do not know, what normal seasons were. It’s only the beginning. CO2 lasts up to 200 years in the atmosphere; and the world is increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere every year.
And yet.. See Rmoney’s energy plan here:
http://www.allvoices.com/contributed-news/12542615-romney-energy-plan-removes-limits-on-carbon-dioxide-air-pollution
Industry has co joined with politics in its’ present greedy, planet altering, mindless pursuit of profits by pollution, both denying twenty years of dire warnings from the legitimate climate science communities, while trying to keep the public out of the equation, with some rich fossil fuel interests and powerful congressmen choosing instead to confuse, ignore, conceal the truth and reality of – anthropogenic climate change.
Sorry to have to say this Mr. Rmoney, anthropogenic climate change is happening. If you don’t know this or pretend not to know this, why have you chosen to run for the office of President of the United States? Is it because you have chosen to lead the republicans to protect ‘profits by pollution?’
http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2012/06/19/501612/report-most-anti-environment-house-of-representatives-in-history-voted-109-times-to-enrich-big-oil/?mobile=nc
Twenty years of scientific warnings have passed – un heeded. 99.9% of climate scientist from around the world agree, anthropogenic CO2 is causing climate change. There is no more time to be squander on corporate greed and political procrastination, pretend debates and outright lies. Politicians now need to listen to the legitimate scientists and turn what needs to be done, into action. This is the missing link. Needed work -turned into – action, (financed by CO2 tax on the fossil fuel industries.) It’s a tremendous task, that has to happen around the world with every country doing all that they can. Growing trees, shutting down old wasteful coal units, working on 3rd, 4th generation nuclear, clean energy products, producing very affordable solar, wind units, etc.
Republicans (without regulations, limits, tax,) lowering CO2 emissions? That would NEVER HAPPEN.. Government needs to see that it does. Check the charts thus far. Watch CO2 and temperatures rising together, off the charts; as republicans continue to use our government, as their enabler, as our environment remains an industrial by-product dump site. The ‘republican way,’ will cause progressively worse (its’ already begun) sure fire killing temperatures, droughts, famines, polar/glacier melting, drownings, migrations, starving, sweltering destruction, more.
Sorry to have to say this Mr. Rmoney, but all republicans aren’t totally stupid.
They know exactly what these smoke stacks are for -and what CO2 is doing to our atmosphere.
http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images?_adv_prop=image&fr=yfp-t-701&va=coal+plant+smoke+stacks
It time for home windmills. solar, geothermal, miles and miles of solar and windmills, new nuclear construction – asap.
Americans needs Presidential leadership in CO2 reduction. America remains one of the world’s largest historically responsible contributors, offenders. The rights of next generations must be upheld. Their air, lands and waters must be legally protected, so that some future generation will be able to return to a normal environment. (It’s going to be beyond tough – CO2 remains in the atmosphere, for up to 200 years. We’re already drastically changing the global temperature and it will continue. Arctic methane feedback systems are already kicking in, releasing stored methane from permafrost, huge shallow ocean bottoms, etc.
We cannot be a country with a President who sticks his head in the sand and says, ‘global warming is a ‘myth.’ We cannot be a country that robs billions of babies of a livable planet. We are already a country who’s CO2 footprint is causing untold millions of climate deaths around the world; untold trillions in damages around the world.

We need to stop. We need our government to make us stop.
I’m sorry to have to say this Willard, but you need to stop pretending there’s some debate going on. “I didn’t know what’s causing it,” in just another way to avoid reality. That debate was over 20 years ago, and polluting industries continued to pollute. We now face the results, with less time to react.
What appeared to be harmlessly released CO2 – is now in fact, a death sentence for the livable environment as we knew it.
Romney’s recipe for greed isn’t leadership, it’s a death sentence. Those blocking CO2 reduction, need to step out of the way. The next years are likely our last chance to reduce CO2 while it can still make a difference. If someone doesn’t know what I’m talking about, do a little research, drop a few words into search, like melting polar ice, methane, Alaska, permafrost, climate change,James Jansen, NOAA, NASA, USCG, UCS, EPA, Homeland Security, etc and you will know more than Romney claims to know.
I’m sorry to have to say this Willard, but I don’t believe you don’t know the truth – that climate change is caused by CO2. There isn’t going to be a tea party debate for dumb people, Willard.
When Rmoney says, ‘it’s a myth,’ he is really saying, don’t worry – keep believing your air, lands and waters are free industrial dump sites – the dump sites which enable fossil fuels to be called affordable. They’re not ‘affordable.’ They’re the most expensive mistake and by far, the most dangerous mistake, that mankind has ever made. But it is also the reason, the fossil fuel industries are the wealthiest corporations in the world. Where are the coal plants that don’t release CO2? No can do. So they call it ‘clean coal instead – and affordable. Affordable, since they don’t pay for the damages.

And Willard, I’m sorry to have to say this, I don’t believe you care about ‘American jobs.’ There are an endless amount of jobs that need to be done.
How many millions of jobs, are republicans withholding from Americans? Republican politicians, claim to care that, ‘Americans need jobs,’ while choosing to deny the clear, direct, waiting pathway lined with needed American jobs, a thriving economy and an improving environment. Politicians ignore the multitude of jobs that need to be done, that are vital, clean energy jobs. And government ignores the money that is certainly available to fund these jobs – by placing a rising tax on CO2 releasing, on some of the wealthiest industries in the world. To avoid unnecessary governmental waste, this tax money should be collected by the government, then sent directly to every legal adult in the country, via debit card – to be spent to reduce their fossil fuel addictions -their approved conservation, home energy improvements, installations, educations, transportation, planting trees, etc. to do whatever is necessary – to help reduce CO2 in the atmosphere, cut our addiction and insure our climate safety.
I’m sorry to have to say this Mr. Rmoney, but your plan is a disaster in the planning, the worst possible thing that could happen to America, the world.
Now scientists are connecting the dots and attribute weather condition deaths to climate change. Abnormal temperatures, acidic oceans, droughts, burning forests, melting reflective ice surfaces, changing currents, weather patterns; melting permafrost, will be costly. Melting Arctic ocean bottoms/tundra are already free releasing methane (a GHG 30 times more potent than CO2,) as a feedback system, which raises temperatures more, releasing more methane, will continued the loop.
http://co2now.org/
I’m sorry to have to say this Willard, but you are most definitely not the man who can solve the climate change problem. Three months ago, you called it a ‘myth.’ Seven billion people around the world need America government to face reality adn become a leader. Willard can’t solve the confusion within his own head. He reminds one of a puppet, with various interests yanking his strings. Dance, Rmoney dance around the most important issue facing mankind.
We are now in the middle of the largest human caused planetary experiment-gone-haywire: CO2 pollution, causing feedback, feedback coming from the planet, where there is feedback enough to end life on earth.
When it comes to the day one steps into the voting booth, each set of candidates must be evaluated, on who will best fight climate change. Everything else is background noise.

WordPress rejects posts. That’s the reason I test with dots – because a post doesn’t appear. Since I saw your post #2, I tried to post again, breaking it down into 4 posts. Woodpress or some program is rejecting post #4 since 7:15 pm yesterday, calling attempts ‘duplicate’ even though post 4 of 4 never appeared.
