Are we really stupid enough to fall for this???

Hillary Clinton and her surrogates are lunging at Barack Obama over his controversial small-town America comments, attempting to create a flash point with working-class voters potent enough to revive her campaign, with just 10 days until the crucial Pennsylvania primary.
Clinton called Obama’s remarks “elitist,” “demeaning” and “out of touch” Saturday morning, and high-powered supporters followed up by claiming the comments would damage everything from Obama’s credibility to his electability in a general election.
“I found his remarks undercutting his message of hope … he suggests that somehow the faith of those who live in small towns is superficial,” said former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack on a Clinton conference call Saturday with several Pennsylvania mayors who said they were offended by Obama’s comments. The Illinois senator said rural Americans “cling” to issues like religion, guns and anti-immigrant beliefs out of bitterness over lost jobs.
“I think it’s difficult for a Democratic candidate to be successful in a general election if he misreads and misunderstands people who live in small communities,” Vilsack said.-by FOXNews.com

Wow! It takes huge, huge nuggets to point the finger at a black guy and say ELITIST!! Seriously Hill, big balls, huge. But, to really see just how ridiculous it is for the "Hillster" to take this "I'm a blue collar woman" position, lets just look at Hill's background for a moment shall we?

1) Father owned a textile business in Chicago (ie it's not a blue collar background folks when daddy owns the fucking building)

2) Attended Maine East high school in Chicago, which is one of the more affluent areas, even back in the "day" when she was a student there.

3) Attended Wellesley College (ie the most exclusive woman's liberal arts colleges in America)

4) Attended Yale for law school (not to shabby for a working class girl huh?)

5) Laywer

6) First Lady of Arkansas

7) First Lady of the United States (2 term, this is where she garned the leadership skills that she claims Obama lacks)

8) US Senator (of course winning this New York seat had nothing to do with the fact that her husband had been the President)

Now, review the above, and tell me again exactly what in that laundry list of her life would NOT be considered white collar, privilege, and ELITE? I certainly wouldn't presume to speak for the non-elite of america, but to me that sounds awfully ELITE. I mean, I can't afford to send my daughter to Wellesley, or Yale for law school. So, what are the chances that she'll marry a future US president, if I can't afford to get her to these types of schools where men with wealthy and powerful fathers have payed handsomely to send there underachieving sons to waste 4 years of their lives.

All I mean here is that we as a group of voting americans are surely smart enough to call a spade, a fucking spade. Surely we are wise enough to call bullshit when this ass clown throws a steaming pile of it in our faces, right? Well, I'd like to think so, but inevitably, the polls will come out this week, and for some reason Obama will lose ground because of this, and so what? Who cares? I certainly don't. This race is over, and has been over, but Hillary is just praying that Obama will just implode. This is really rather pathetic considering the proud white collar background, and pricey educations that the Senator represents.

What the fuck is wrong with Walmart???

Ok, I know Walmart is a, well to be blunt, a real piece of shit company. They are the epitomy of filthy corporate greed. I've always found it amusing that poor people shop at Walmart because it's such a good deal, while walmart is literally pile-driving all competitors into the ground in an effort to squash competition in general, which ultimately will lead to higher prices. Of course, to explain this to the average Walmart shopper leads to a lot of blank looks and general befuddlement. However, regardless of whatever my previous opinion might have been of this corporation, the pig shit low they hit this week would be shocking to Kenneth Lay (God burn his soul in hell, and his fucking family as well for that matter, for being related to such a piece of garbage).

To think that a company with the kind of sheer girth of walmart would steal (legally, but it's still a dirt ball move) this brain-damaged, nursing home resident, and former employee's money is just a fucking bitch move. That's really all that can be said about this decision, it's a bitch ass move. I've never heard of such a thing, it's awful, and it makes me want to puke, but it gave me a really good idea!!!

My idea, and it's far better than complaining, and wishing evil upon the Walton daughters and their children, is to stop shopping at the new Super Walmart they just built 2 miles from my house. Now, I figured out, that I make 100,000+ a year, and spend upwards of 2500, hell maybe 3000/yr at Walmart. That's on one income...my wife is still in school, which could ultimately mean more money for Walmart, but no, Walmart is now off my patronage list. And, here's the the best part, I talked to my parents, that spend about the same amount at Walmart a year as I do....they aren't going anymore either. That's 6000+ dollars a year they've lost, or 30,000+ over a 5 year period.

Folks, that represents 2 households, TWO!!! If we all just agree to stop shopping there until they return the money they stole from this woman, she will have it back in a week!! Hell, probably in a matter of days. These corporations count on the American people being too fucking fat, stupid, and lazy to fight them back, and they target these families because they don't usually have the resources to fight, and they do terrible things to push their world domination agenda. Well, I for one say, Fuck You Walmart!! I've had enough of your bullshit. I'm not going to buy my goods from you anymore. I refuse to help you cheat an honest person, who had the misfortune to have Walmart health insurance when she was struck by a truck and permanently brain damaged!!

One more thing, the pharmacist's that work for this terd of business should immediately resign, and find employment with a company that understands business ethics. This is a violation of the oath they took as a pharmacist to be an advocate for their patients. Well, this woman is your patient, and the company you work for is putting the fucking screws to her so that your owners can build a fucking art museum in Arkansas, or by another professional sports team!! Get some balls, tell them what's up, and walk the fuck out, until they give this woman's money back. You should be ashamed to be getting those big dollars, and even more so for the stock you get, considering what walmart is doing to your coworkers in order to give it to you, and make it more valuable. ASHAMED.

And shame again on the people that we vote into office that make laws that allow corporations to steal from disabled people. Now that Walmart has taken her money, who do you think will be paying for her health care? You guessed it folks, YOU. Wake the fuck up, and write you congressman, or better yet vote!! And demand these people stop creating laws that place the interests of big business ahead of the average american. Stop voting against your best interests people!!!

The Baby Boomers....

I've been waiting patiently for someone to say something so absurdly retarded it would provoke another blog. It took a while, but my mother came through in spades for me. It began simply enough. A discussion over coffee, sitting at the kitchen table discussing the reasons why Obama doesn't have the massive amounts of presidential leadership experience Hillary is supposed to have. Mother obviously didn't get the memo, that generally the first lady's input into policy issues is not typically given the kind of weight actually being president gets, with regards to leadership ability that Hillary now demands it be given in her bid to be the new queen of America. I was blessed that morning to hear the typical white baby boomer argument against Obama....He just doesn't have any experience, unlike Hillary. This despite Obama actually having more experience as a legislator than Hillary, and both of them currently serving in the US senate. She's right, the experience difference is staggering.

Next thing I know, Mom drops a laser guided bomb on my face. She says, "Obama is a generation Xer, your generation son, and you guys just haven't ever had to face adversity, you don't know what it's like to be afraid." As you can imagine, I was astounded. I sat there with my eyes wide open, trying to think of non-offensive way to tell my mother to go and jump off a fucking bridge. I asked her if she was serious, she follows up that comment with "you never had to experience anything like the cuban missle crisis, or vietnam." At this point i'm about to set her kitchen on fire, and then I realize...these are some self-important bitches, these Baby Boomers, to stand on their high horse and criticize generation X for their own lack of results.

Let's not forget, this is the generation that railed against authority in the form of their own parents. They preached peace, love, and opposed war as if these perspectives were going to be our collective path to utopia. Then, they assumed control of the democratic burrito, and all that shit went out the window. They bought everything they could afford, and when they couldn't afford it, they borrowed money to buy it. They didn't just do this in their personal lives either, look at the national deficit if you need help understanding their talent for spending money they don't have. These fucking douche bags found it all to easy to criticize their parents for Vietnam, and then they have the fucking balls to turn around and call anyone not blindly preaching how great the war in Iraq is as Un-fucking-patriotic!! Generation X is going to be the first generation in the history, HISTORY, of America to actually do WORSE financially than there parents. Surely, some blame must rest on our shoulders for it, admittedly. However, to listen to a Baby Boomer, they are the only generation that has ever accomplished anything. And just what have they done? Bankrupted a social security system that their parents started, turned our nation from the largest creditor in the world into the largest debtor, and taken the nation through a cold war, and two desert wars (that have been, or will be proven to have been, a waste of time). Health Care sucks I think even they can agree, and this is extremely funny to me as it's their fat asses that will be depending on the system very soon, hysterical!! You can't even afford to drive a new car anymore, or put fucking gas in it, and my god if you want an average home you have to spend a quarter of MILLION dollars. This, while making less money than our parents made at a comparable age!!!! Keep in mind when they were going through this same period of their lives, they made MORE than their parents made. What a fucking joke, and complete disappointment these people have turned out to be.

Here's an idea Baby Boomer pricks, get off of our asses! Someday, really soon you spoiled rotten bitches are going to get your wish, and we are going to take this country away from you. You have demonstrated at every turn that you are to selfish to be trusted with running it. You don't care about this country, only your own pointless self-interest and consumerism. The funny thing is, you want a pat on the back from both your parents, and your children, for the impending fucking disaster you have so graciously created for us. Well, let me be the first to thank you for fucking things up, now get out of the goddamn way you self-centered jag-offs, and get to collecting your social security. After all, you have made certain that you'll be the last group of americans it exists to support. Thanks assholes, you're awesome.

Now I've literally seen everything.

Sit back folks, get a cup of coffee, this is going sting. I've been storing up my anger for the better part of a week, just waiting for the republicans to piss me off. They came close several times, but never quite enough to get me to pull the trigger on an entry. Then Bush opened his stupid hole, and...

"No question, we're in a slowdown," the president told reporters in a White House news conference.
"That's why we acted strongly with over $150 billion worth of pro-growth economic incentives," he added, referring to the $170 billion economic stimulus bill he signed into law more than two weeks ago.
"And now it's time to determine whether or not this pro-growth package will actually work."-CNN-From Bush's press conference

Ok, just so I'm straight, we are now in a "slowdown". Is it now customary for the republicans to give the middle class a pitance during every "slowdown"? This is the second time Mr. Brain has done it, and then become the champion of middle class republicans (how the hell is this even possible?) everywhere. Just so everyone understands, the top 5% of earners in america make and hold most of the money. They are very small part of the population, but they are very important and dear to the conservatives, mainly because all of the conservative politicians happen to make this kind of scratch, and subsequently belong to this group of earners.

Now, if you are in control of the government (like they have been the last 6 years or so), and you happen to be in this top 5% demographic what do you do? That's right, you give yourself tax cuts, but you call it tax "relief". Now, by doing this, when the democrats question you about your motives, you can make them sound like bastards that are taxing the poor to inflict punishment. The republicans, in this tale are simply "relieving" poor americans from the oppression of runaway democrat taxation!! You tell the middle class that you love them so much, that they are going to get 3% less taxation every year forever, and ever, amen. You tell them that one day, when they are rich, like you, they will be in that upper 5% level, and that they will get the tax cut you are giving yourself.....4.6%, hallelujah, praise Jesus! Oh, yes, that's right, because they have ALL the money, they need an additional 1.6% more tax "relief" than any other tax paying demographic in america. You see they are burdened with wealth, and it's such a burden that they should get a larger share of the tax "relief". As you might imagine, lopping 1.6% of the tax revenue from the richest 5% of americans, keeping in mind they make more than half the money, might lead to some problems with balancing the budget, and could lead to record deficits (oops). You know what else, get rid of the dividend tax on our investments, and get rid of the estate tax! Yes, bitch, I can see now that you're terribly concerned about us Po'Folk.

Now, add up the money these bastard in the top 5% have been stealing from the middle class the last six years because of the tax "relief" he gave to the rich so they could feed the trust funds of their lazy children, in order to perpetuate the existence of more pathetic George W. Bush, Paris Hilton types. I would say the least this jagoff could do is give us 170 billion back. If the dumb prick hadn't been giving the richest fuckheads in the nation and extra 1.6% of their fucking money back the last 6 years, above what the rest of got, we probably wouldn't need the help.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news folks, most economists are now saying, we are not in a "slowdown", or heading towards a recession, but are actually in the fucking recession right now! Bush's answer, more help for big business. Are you fucking serious? Somebody stop this asshole, it's like watching a train barrel down the tracks, with a retarded child controlling the engine. Of course, we shouldn't expect the leader of our nation to be able to listen to opinions about the economy that disagree with the parallel universe (in which, btw, he can speak directly to Jesus, for policy decisions) he demands is reality. It's is way past time to admit that we all made a mistake. Let me rephrase that, it's time that people who voted for this baffoon admit they made a goddamn mistake. He has the mental flexibility of a terd, and that is being far to generous.

The really sad thing about america is that this nimrod, were he able to run again, would probably win the white house, again! But who cares right, I mean he is giving me 1800 bucks back in May. Yeah, I might retire early!

What the Hell?!?!?

"Harold Ickes, a 40-year party operative charged with winning over superdelegates for the Clinton campaign, made no apologies on Saturday for the campaign’s convention strategy.
“We’re going to win this nomination,” Ickes said, adding that they would do so soon after the last contest on June 7 in Puerto Rico. “You’re not going to see this go to the convention floor.”
Ickes predicted Clinton and Obama would run “neck and neck” in the remaining states and that there would be a “minuscule amount of difference” between the two in pledged delegates.
But he said superdelegates — who “have a sense of what it takes to get elected” — would determine the outcome and side in larger numbers for Clinton.
Even though averages of head-to-head polls on RealClearPolitics.com show Obama beating presumptive GOP nominee John McCain in a general election and Clinton losing, the Clinton camp is stressing the electability argument.
Ickes said superdelegates must “exercise their best judgment” about who can win the White House.
In essence, he argued the party’s 795 superdelegates (Connecticut Independent-Democrat Sen. Joe Lieberman recently was stripped of his superdelegate status) were in a better position to assess electability and suitability for the presidency than party regulars who will attend the national convention in late August as pledged delegates."-by FOXNews.com

So what Mr. Prick is really trying to say is that my vote means shit. This guy just pissed in the face of millions of registered, middle class, democratic voters. The unbridled arrogance of this statement by a spokesperson of the Clinton campaign is astounding. This is the same kind of arrogant presumptuousness that has allowed Bush, and his cronies to assume they know better than anyone else, how to run this country, while not giving a damn what the people have to say about it. You see boys and girls, these enlightened individuals, fortunate enough to emerge into this world from the right vagina into a life of wealth and privilege, know better than you, what is good for you. I have come to expect this sort of condescending attitude from Bush and Chaney. I would've thought a woman that is now holding herself up as the champion of the middle class would prefer not to allow the less brilliant of her flock to make public pronouncements regarding how irrelevant their opinion actually is in selecting a canidate to represent their interests. I would clearly be wrong.

I can say only two things to Mrs. Clinton. First, I didn't vote for you in the primary because you are a bully, and you fight dirty, and I've grown tired of these backhanded, under the table antics. Second, if what you say is true, and the superdelegates will decide this election without regards to the will of the voters, I promise you, I will vote for John Mccain in November. I promise you that I am not the only one in my family that will do the same. I promise that my family and I are not the only democrats that are going to feel this way about you if this is the manner in which you intend to try and steal this election from the voters. I will cross party lines if Clinton wins this primary with the superdelegates deciding, against the voters wishes, who is to represent the democrats in 2008. I promise.

5 More Young Americans Lost.

You know, I'm so disgusted with my country today. I don't even know what to say about this tragedy at NIU, except that someone should exercise some old school appalachian style, eye for an eye, justice on this psycho's family. Maybe if we all decided to start holding the families of these maniacs responsible for their decisions, it would deter their crazy asses from shooting our sons and daughters. I'm serious, just how many people, crazy or not, would be out there shooting others if they knew that the rest of us would respond by coming for their momma, poppa, brothers, sister, and/or cousins?

Also, I've been thinking, does this prick deserve a burial? Can't we just take his body, put it on the tip of a missile, and shoot the fucking thing out into space? Does this jagbag's remains deserve to be buried here with us? I say no, I say you launch the douchbag, and let the families of the all the victims push the damn button. Maybe i'm just a bit upset, but damn, this shit has got to stop folks.

Anyway, I'm sure this disaster will be followed shortly by an NRA rally in Chicago. Charlton will march in to the windy city proclaiming that we can pry his gun from his cold dead hand. I for one think it's about time someone took his old ass up on the challenge, and go get his goddamn gun. This bastard strolls into every town, just after some idiot decides that his pain justifies the mass murder of innocent people with multiple firearms, and loudly proclaims that it's not the guns that killed the innocent, but the crazy fuck pulling the trigger!! Ya dicklips, we got that, now tell me how you rationalize that pumping a million more guns into the market is going to curb this type of outrageous act of unprovoked violence. Oh ya, I know, if only everyone in the audience had been carrying a weapon, the crazy bastard would have been shot before he could kill anyone, right? My answer to that brilliant butt nugget of Platonic level wisdom is, well, probably not. What the calculating, yet insane, mass murder does in that situation is go chuck norris on our asses, and instead of coming in with the shotgun and Glock, he comes in with a Oozi, AK-47, or some other stupid fuck, useless automatic weapon designed specifically to kill people in large numbers. Nobody, let me repeat this NRA assholes, NOBODY is after your hunting rifles!!! If you want to go out in the woods, in your stupid camouflage outfit, pepper yourself with deer piss, and pretend that you're hunting for deer meat to survive, by all means enjoy this purposeless killing to your little heart's content.

Bottomline, fuck the NRA, the conservative party who accepts lobby and PAC money from them to fund their campaigns, and the assholes that buy guns as a hobby. Most of all, a big fuck you to the murderers and the human failures that spawn these monsters. Your monumental failure as parents and families have cost the lives of to many children of parents that actually do their damn job, and it's high time we start holding you responsible for the actions of the nightmare you unleash upon society.

The cluster fuck that is the Clinton campaign

Ya, so I was sitting around my house yesterday, and I get a call from this guy that asks me if I would be interested in attending a speech by former president Bill Clinton. It sounded pretty interesting, and the speech was to take place not far from my home, so I figured what the hell. Now, the temperature outside was tundra to say the very least, but I said to myself, "Self, how many times are you going to get the chance to hear a U.S. President speak?" So, I got out of bed around 6am this morning, and dragged my ass to the site of the speech, only to find a line that contained at least 500 people already, and I was an hour and a half early. I'm standing in 11 degree air, waiting in line an hour to hear him speak.

The doors finally open, and by now, the line has 1000 or so people in it. This is when we are informed that the venue holds 300, that's right 300 people. Now, this is stupid enough, especially considering their is a gym nearby (maybe 100 yards or so) that holds at least 3000 people, and would have accomodated any and all that wanted to attend. That clearly would have been to simple and convenient. Wait it gets better.

I am actually close enough to the entrance in the line to make it inside the building. I'm clearly excited that my lack of sleep has paid off, and I'm actually going to be rewarded for my suffering, and for my face which is now blue due to the lack of heat. I walk past the police at the entrance, that give a half hearted glance at my open coat and wave me through, and walk down the hall to a projection TV showing what is going on inside the theatre where the former president is to speak. I am further informed by a security guard prick, that no one else would be allowed inside the hall where Clinton is to speak, but I could watch it on TV. I could've stayed home you stupid cop prick!!! So, I say to myself, "Well, this sucks! Sure am glad I got out of bed 3 hours early on my day off, drove 15 miles to get here, waited in sub-arctic winds for the better part of an hour, to stand in this hallway, and watch a speech on a projection tv screen that I could have stayed home and watched in my bed, thanks assholes." I threw the doors open, put the stupid Hillary for Prez sign that they had given me for my trouble where it belonged, in the garbage, and walked back to my car.

Now, I have only a couple of things to say to the Clinton's about this debacle. First, don't bother calling me at home and inviting me to another speech if this is how you are going to organize the damn event. Second, and more importantly, if I were at any point considering voting for Hillary Clinton, that time has assuredly now passed. Unbelievable, is all I can say about the entire cluster fuck of an event. It took me 2 hours under an electric blanket to thaw enough to get back to sleep. If there is a god of justice, one day Hillary Clinton will be standing across the pharmacy counter, and I will make her ass stand outside in the freezing ass, cold weather and wait for me to fill her presciption.

To hell with the Clinton's, never again.

What is wrong with the Democrats?

Wow, for years I have listened to AM radio broadcasts of "fatboy" Rush Limbaugh. I don't listen because I like him or agree with him because I very, very seldom do. No, I listen because most of the vomit that spews from his mouth in the form of language is utter bullshit, it's kind of amusing, and it further validates my belief that republicans are absolutely disgusting people. Now, for years, Limbaugh has been talking about the Clinton's and pulls no punches about his hatred for them. He has always been very quick to point out how nasty things happen to you when you get in the way of the Clinton political machine. I never quite understood, as I have always, until recently, viewed the Clintons through blue state colored glasses. However, as I watch the two Clintons attempt to destroy Obama on all levels to win the White House, I feel compelled to ask myself the question, was Limbaugh right about these people. Hold on a second, I just threw up in my mouth a little. Ok, now that I have purged myself of having potentially agreed with something Limbaugh said, I say maybe he has been right about the Clintons. Maybe, the Clinton's are what he says they are, just power hungry bitches.

The dirty shit they are pulling to attack Obama's character is just sort of classless in my opinion, if you need examples I'm sure you can find more than a few on any number of online news outlets, so I won't here waste my time with citing specifics. If the only way Hillary can beat Obama is to sic her pit viper husband on him, should we really be suporting her? I mean it would appear that her inferiority complex has lead her down a path away from arguing about the issues, and towards personal character attacks which I don't feel is what the party or the country need right now. I will close with a question, don't you think it's just time to get out of this Bush/Clinton rut we've been in since 19-frickin-92? Let's move on and let these people move to the private sector and allow them time to spend some of the money they've milked off of us the past 16 years. Obama-Edwards 2008
