It was one line in Reuters that started me thinking……
Here it is….
Now I will put on my college professors hat here and guide you through this…..
What is the prime message of this piece?
The prime message is that this election is up to which ever party or candidate can influence the American people to vote his way……..
Is that the right way or wrong way our politics should be decided; like a sporting event where one side or the other outperforms the competition?
Wrong way.
Ok, then how should an election be decided?
By the facts. By how things will transpire if one candidate (over the other candidate) gets elected. That is how elections should be decided. Take Lincoln- McClellan … should we finish the war, or stop the war? Take Roosevelt and Wilkie…. should we finish the war, or change horses in the middle of a stream? Take Nixon- McGovern. Should we finish the war, or end it?
The election was over issues. Both candidates were considered flawed by large number of voters, but the elections decided the future course pursued by the nation.
At stake in this 2012 election, is determining who is going to pay our bills. THAT is this nations WWIII.. Our entire future is at stake, and how we decide who pays the bills will determine whether this nation continues having other nations cater to OUR needs, or whether we will have to start working around THEIRS……
So who IS going to pay this nation’s bills… The rich? or every one else?
And no one is talking about it….. Why?
It should be the lead story on all three networks M-F 6:30 and 11…. It should be on the front page of every paper in Delaware… It isn’t….
Why is it being ignored? Because the media doesn’t want to face the truth….
What is that truth?
The truth is that corporate profits alone, could reduce the entire national debt (including entitlements) to zero in two and a half years…. It’s math.
And the fact that is not even discussed, but buried on a foreign news source deep within the internet, just goes to show that something is very wrong with America.
Does anyone out there know that this past week, US employers have hired more workers than in the past 5 months, yet unemployment ticked upward from 8.2 to 8.3 percent because of the Tea Party Republicans firing of federal workers just before the election to keep their promise to slash and burn the Federal Government?
Of course you don’t! Because you are so worried over the mechanizations of political maneuvering that you can’t see facts that hit you in the eye.
Something is very wrong with America.

Yes – there is something wrong with republicans.
Even though denial is the dumbest, most evil ‘official’ position of the republican party, when it comes to profits by CO2 pollution, verses the continuation of life on the planet, Rmoney backs being shamelessly greedy and in favor of continuing CO2 pollution. Most people now realize climate change results in hundreds of billions of dollars of ‘profits by pollution’ while causing trillions in damages to the planet, populations, with untold losses, suffering and deaths, etc
Exactly why would Willard Rmoney back worldwide mass destruction (WMD) of climate systems that support life on the planet?
Rmoney says he can straighten out the country’s finances – but, but, can’t reveal his own financial history, because it would cause people to – question his integrity as someone who wants to be President.
It seems the ‘character’ of this 1% man, is what is intertwined and hopelessly entangled in these two prominent denial issues – climate change denial and income denial. Both issues involve maximizing corporate gains. Both issues involve trying to have the public remain unaware of the costs the public bears for the privileges of the 1%ers. The CO2 pollution is sent up the smoke stacks, across the lands, into the oceans for the costs to be paid by the public.
I have used the following quote here before, but this time, with a whole new shocking meaning:
“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,” “CO2 is a naturally occurring gas. Humans emit it every time they exhale.” Politico, 7/2011
That sounded too familiar. Who goes around saying, “Humans emit CO2 every time they exhale,” Anti evolution, anti cap and trade, anti vaccine, anti Obama, anti health care, anti regulation, climate change ‘s a hoax republicans, perhaps? Here is their ‘debate.’

Yes – there is something wrong with republicans.
Consider the results of climate denial. Atmospheric CO2 levels are rising at a dangerous rate. Untold billions of dollars are still being made through the ‘legal’ loophole as untold millions are already being harmed. Legitimate climate scientist from around the world are 99.9% in agreement, anthropogenic CO2 is the leading cause of climate change. With the ability of scientists to study climate back hundreds of thousand of years, together with intense decades of climate studies and witnessing of decades of climate changes, there is no debate, except what offered by billionaire fossil fuel ‘skeptics, their Rush, Fox mouthpieces, paid contrarian spokespersons.
Now consider Rmoney’s denial and his untold tens of millions in income he accumulates each year. It’s also ‘legal’ he claims, as he campaigns to be your President.
What could the worse common denominator be? Uncontrollable sole sucking greed, on a worldwide scale?
Willard doesn’t want the voters to know who he is, (as they might not vote for him.) Back to Willard Romney’s 2012 spokesperson. Exactly who is Ms. Andrea Saul? Well, she advanced the opinions of contrarian scientists and corporate funded pundits on the Exxon funded Tech Central Station, a purported news web site; she promoted contrarian voices into the debate over hurricanes and climate change in the aftermath of Katrina; she promoted the view of a scientist who had no training in climate change to undermine a study on climate change effects on the Antarctic ice sheet; she led a public relations campaign to undermine scientific consensus on the science of climate change; and pushed out press releases for a front group linked to Grover Norquist designed to undermine pending climate change legislation.
Does this mean Willard hired a person from a lobbyist firm contracted by Exxon and other corporations, as his campaign spokesperson?
