Listening to the Voices in My Head

I have a very dear friend, who has fallen on hard times. Her job vanished, and even after looking for a new one, things still aren't going well for her. She has one but it's a case of too late to keep her above water.

Now, this isn't being said to garner pity, or asking for a hand out, hand up, but to rant.

How DARE a self righteous relative of hers make fun of her. How dare he use re- written by his preacher passages in the bible meant to insult President Obama as his excuse for such piss poor behavior. I'm betting this asshole dislocates his own shoulder patting himself on the back as to how wonderful he is, totally forgetting that "But for the grace of God go I." when it comes to someone in dire straights.

What did (the historical) Jesus say about taking care of family?

Timothy 5:8

But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

So, relative of my friend, suck it up, because according to your OWN holy writings, you have denied your own faith, and are worse than an unbeliever.

So far, the GOP has been attempting to move heaven and earth to make sure their candidate sits in the oval office. They know that he can't win by fair means, and are doing all they can to make sure he get there by foul means.

So far, the GOP has (in no particular order):

Changed/restricted or gotten rid of early voting in districts that would favor democratic ticket. (One Republican politician bragged that they changed the PA voter laws so Romney would win the state.)

Engaged in voter intimidation. (GOP and TeaNuts harassing voters at the polls, making all sorts of demands, and just interfering)

Putting up signs saying show photo ID, and in itty bitty almost unreadable text "Voluntary not mandatory", but when people walk away not having the ID, not bothering to tell them, again, in areas that would favor Democratic candidates.

Voter suppression via illegal voter purges, or flat out lying to voters (example, telling voters in Wisconsin that if you've been convicted of a felony, you can't vote. Yes, you can if you've served your sentence, you are free to vote)

Voter Fraud - Republican worker who works for company with strong ties back to Romney/Karl Rove was busted throwing away filled out voter registration cards. Another one was fraudulent voter registration forms submitted in Florida by a firm the Republican Party hired.

This is just some of the shenanigans the GOP is up to. Let's be real, if the Democratic party did any of these, the GOP would be exploding.

But what gets me about all of this is the blind eye the republican supporters seem to have. If this shit was done TO GOP supporters they would be screaming blue bloody murder! That's called "Hypocrisy". Learn the word, all those who are ignoring what the GOP and it's supporters are doing, because the word hypocrite is readily applied to you.

People paid cash for their Social Security insurance. Their benefits aren't some kind of charity or hand out.

Congressional benefits - premium federal health care, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days. Now that's welfare/entitlements.

And the GOP had the gall to call Social Security retirement 'entitlements'? Hullo?

In the die hard rabid republicans that keep up the hoary harridan screeching that all the current ills are due to incompetence of President Obama. Talk about wearing rose colored Per-Spectacles.

Ray, you were right, short of 'deprogramming' they can't be intelligently spoken to. And this is coming from a moderate, although lately by their standards, Reagan was a liberal.

"Nixon raised the debt ceiling 9 times for a total increase of 36%.
Ford raised the debt ceiling 5 times for a total increase of 41%.
Reagan raised the debt ceiling 18 times for a total increase of 199%.
George H.W. Bush raised the debt ceiling 9 times for a total increase of 48%.
George W. Bush raised the debt ceiling 7 times for a total increase of 90%.
That was Ok. They were white republicans". ~Tiki Sparks


This pretty much sums it up. So far, everything President Obama as been for, the GOP and TeaTards dig their heels in and say NO! even if it was something they were all in favor of doing just months prior.

I want to know why more people aren't demanding to know why Boehner, Cantor, all flavors of the GOP are willing to bankrupt or destroy the US for their own party political gain? Why does triggering the worst depression in world history not make all the GOP/TeaHadist supporters say WTF?
