(I know who reads this blog… that is a treat for you, from the archives of yesteryear….)
This is a theory, but I’ve seen the cracks… Sort of like predicting an earthquake from a series of tremors….
Today Chris Matthews broke from script with Andrea Mitchel and just ranted truth….
We know the American media has scripted every political show it brings on. It is all to present an image… In this case we fully expect the media to take up the fight the Republican Convention failed to advance. That message, you are worse off, it is all Obama’s fault, Romney is the only Grand Wizard who can lead us out…….
It falls apart on three fronts…
One not all of us are worse off than 4 years ago… If your income primarily derived from capital gains, you have never had a better four years. If your income comes from the stock market, you have never had a better four years. With taxes so low, and profits so high, there never has in the lifetime of America, been a better time to be worth more than 10 million…..
For the rest of us, it’s a different story; it’s hard supporting millionaire on an income under $50,000 a year…….
The second plank doesn’t hold up well, as Ryan soon found out… What Ryan didn’t get, was it is easy to lie in Congress… all you have there are DUMB reporters who write down what you say… and then, no one ever reads it…. It is different on National Television to say…. Obama caused the debt ceiling to lower when actually the person responsible for having Standard and Poors report say “the US Government was hopelessly deadlocked” was …. the same Paul Ryan? Why yes… it was… ( Didn’t realize we were paying attention back then, did you?) So, the American people at least know that Obama has been on their side, and if it weren’t for the Tea Party, the 9/11 Patriots (fake groups supported by billionaires) and Republicans, we WOULD be better off than 4 years ago, even if we WERE making under 10 million dollars…..
The third plank that crashed and burned, was that Mitt Romney was the Grand Dragon who would lead us out of the Economic Wilderness…. When pressed as to how, he gave the standard Republican’s 1st grade answer, … “I don’t know,” and then changed the subject of the question….
Today he put his plan on-line… For the expediency of time, I’m going to take one plank to show you how much thought he actually put into it before rolling it out to a public, that… does remember…
Under energy. Mitt says… We will roll back all regulations preventing the development of coal.
Well, being knowledgeable of some of those regulations on coal, which weren’t there in the beginning but were put there by people to curb the excess that unregulated coal production caused…… Here are a few of those….
Ewwww. You want to take us back to that? Mr. Romney…. America has its rules in place for a reason… China doesn’t have any rules… We don’t want to live like China…..
This is the best Romney can do…
The new sensation is that the media is starting to crack. Journalists fed up over not doing journalism by their bosses, are beginning to suffer the curse of Judus, and realize that they were the direct cause that led to all that happened…
My message to them… Repent while you still can…..
We can watch it on TV…. They have a knowledgeable audience this session, who can smell a media lie when it gets shoved into their face…. The brave ones are jumping ship now…..
(and how I do harken back to when guitar chords ruled the song….)

Tea Party billionaires’ rich lying puppet verses, the American people.
This is worth re watching, because the following video, so clearly states the truth.
http://video.msnbc.msn.com/mitchell-reports/48886317/#48886426
America experienced a complete Bush Co. presidential failure, the crashing stock market, crashing banks, the rise of unemployment, the housing failure – just 3-1/2 years ago. Just 3 and a half short years ago, republicans left America in hell, morally, socially, economically in danger of complete failure as a nation. Obama inherited the results of such a republican failure, 3-1/2 years ago – at Bush Co.’s ground zero ready to fall off the cliff. Any wonder, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Colin Powell, Karl Rove, and Tom DeLay, and other republicans weren’t at the convention? Out of site, out of mind? Not exactly
Obama’s mistake, was starting his Presidency thinking he could re unite the country that republicans ravaged and tore to pieces, by bringing together the people of America with the ‘best ideas of both parties,’ (assuming ‘both’ parties had good ideas) – when republicans had no good American ideals in mind at all – because they had quietly substituted extreme greed of the wealthiest, their corporations, instead.
Obama now faces America’s enemy, the tea party leadership, that has grown within the country, lead and supplied by the endless millionaire, billionaire PAC dollars, including un American entities from around the world, dollars that back the agenda of the greediest, the Tea Party 1%ers, the millionaires, billionaires, their polluting corporate interests, who are leading the destructive Tea Party, (formerly known as the republican party.)
The fact remains, it was Obama who stopped the republican downfall of the country that had so thrived under Clinton and Obama maintained that recovery – in spite of the every underhanded, lying birther effort; every climate denial effort of fossil fuel funded congressmen; every tea party obstruction to Obama’s economic recovery plan; every attempt to not tax the ultra rich; every health benefit, every education, every job for an unemployed, as ‘republicans’ helped to continue the stagnation of a nation – into the hands of the tea party manipulators. Obama stopped the downfall and move forward.

At the Tea Party convention, Rmoney’s was trying to prove ‘he’s you,’ a regular poor/middle upper middle class, everyday American Dick or Jane, purposefully not speaking the truth – that he and fellow millionaires and billionaires and fossil fuel industrial leaders, are richer and more separated and in opposition of ‘the common American dream – a place for every American, to work, thrive and survive.
Then Rmoney took the ‘people’s survival to the extreme, smiling, twisting the knife, by mocking science, and Americans, and life – because earth needs an atmosphere of unpolluted air, lands and waters – for livable climates to survive Americans to survivie and life itself to survive on earth. Rmoney waited for the tea party to react, by laughing – as he mocked the world of science and life.
Is it that billionaires are so removed from nature, so removed from ordinary American life and everyday reality, they think they can destroy the planet and buy their own survival? Your life, your future generation, however, is a deadly joke to Rmoney.
But the 1%ers need the votes of the 99%, Rmoney thinks ordinary voters should vote for him, since he promises he will create 12 million new jobs – but with huge omissions (lies). What jobs? How? Where’s the money to print 12,000,000 checks per week to come from? 12,000,000 times, let’s say $600 a week, equals $7,200,000,000 a week. Never mind the details and just forget that Rmoney lies. Vote ‘republican.’
The Tea Party has tried to denied people the right to vote – democrats of course. (Tried and true, voter suppression worked for Bush in Florida.) But even less American, Rmoney took his ‘Official Policy of Denial,’ an industrialized sized, worldwide atmospherically contaminating, multi trillion dollar, gigantic tea party step further backwards- mocking the entire planet and all life.

Rmoney should be awarded, The Greatest Bully in the History of the World, award. The reality is, Rmoney and his fossil fuel buddies have the Plan to make their sick joke a reality, no regulations, free releasing of CO2, more and dirtier fossil fuel supplies/more fossil fuel usage, more environmental degradation, more American dependency on fossil fuels, no clean energy initiatives, more attacks on climate scientists and science, defunding of climate change research, etc.
Climate denial never was the whole story, just part of the richest fossil fuel Plan.
Multi millions of dollars, tens of millions in tax free education funds, mysterious Bain, other corporations, Swiss accounts, six houses, a fleet of vehicles, no proof of a 13%? tax rate – isn’t enough for Rmoney. He’d like to be a tea party billionaire with his family, safely in the White House. The American people? Well, uh, uh – they’re the butt end of the deadly joke, that a laughing matter.
The science of the planet is not a political joke. The chemistry and physics of climate science, doesn’t lie.
Rmoney not only mocks the truth, he mocks science; he mocks reality, he mocks life on the planet; Rmoney mocks – the American people.
Rmoney: “Corporations are people my friends.” The Tea Party 1%ers, have strutted their lying clowns upon the convention stage, clearly representing the interests of millionaire, billionaire dollars, while laughing at the planet and all it’s life.
Now Obama will speak for what is truly human, and American – the lives of billions of American people.
