We have entered the second week of the government shutdown brought to us by the selfishness and stupidity of the republicans, led by the lying Weeper of the House, John Boehner.  He continues to stomp his feet and throw cry-baby temper tantrums about how the president just isn’t being fair.  To hear the way republican Senator Rand Paul told it on the Sunday morning talk programs, they have been trying really hard to compromise with a mean President Obama who is ruling like a tyrant.  These two liars, Rand Paul and John Boehner, along with their new buddy Ted Cruz, the serial killer-looking new junior Senator and Dr. Seuss fan from the great and politically screwed up state of Texas, are attempting to actually have us believe that they are just doing the will of the American people, they are shutting down the government and threatening to default on bills soon for the first time in history because President Obama is a tyrant and the democrats don’t want to compromise.

I’ve really had to refrain from throwing my shoe at the plasma tv and breaking it when I hear these clowns stand there on national tv and tell one bold face lie after another about what they are doing.  “Lets be clear” Ted Cruz kept repeating on Meet the Press the first Sunday of the shutdown.  We can now safely determine that in republican lies and propaganda, “lets be clear” translates into “let me lie with a straight face.”

What makes me want to throw a beer can at the tv when I’m not wearing shoes is when I then hear the pathetic “journalist” on tv pretend that the liar before them may have a point.  The reporter, instead of trying to get at the truth, which sometimes require you to call a fact a fact and a lie a lie, merely bounces back what the other ‘side’ is saying.  Thus they are a useless parrot most of the time, acting as a go-between mouthpiece for politicians on both sides, merely repeating back both sides and then wondering why we have divided country. And this is the so called neutral dipshits of CNN and the other “neutrals.”  Fox of course continues their never ending promotion of republican propaganda, coordinating their talking points to that of the G.O.P.  They are a joke to begin with.  Unfortunately, the joke is on us as we have a large base of low information voters who do watch Fox and take it for news.  That shows year after year in media polls where Fox viewers are consistently shown to be less informed on actual facts.  This has been proven year after year since George W. first invaded Iraq, and Fox viewers continued to think Saddam Hussein had a direct link to 911, years after all the facts came out and disproved it.  Their number 2 asshole Bill O’Reily continues to call himself an independent.  Greta Van Sustran continues to pretend to be a liberal who came to Fox Propaganda Channel to be “fair and balanced” instead of selling out her soul for a face job that didn’t really help.  Sean Hannity continues to be their number 1 asshole, but Bill tries really hard to catch him.  Their morning crew continues to pretend to not be Rupert Murdoch’s brain damaged  nephews and nieces that he gave a job to as a joke.  Ironically, MSNBC, who is a liberal news channel that admits to being a political channel of liberal opinions and liberal talk shows, provides the most facts among the major networks that I have seen.  They may be partial, but they are accurate.  Fox lies, and CNN and the other pathetic lot just parrot the lies, bullshit and propaganda that politicians give them.

And the result of an American public that relies too heavily on television news to get it’s political information is a low information voter base that is easily manipulated, and a polarized, tribal group of conservatives who have lost their minds and are about as easy to reason with as a fence post.

Thankfully, so far, President Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid are doing what is absolutely necessary in the face of the government sabotage being carried on by a small group of gerrymandered jerk-offs in the republican controlled House.  It is necessary to preserve the way our democracy is supposed to function.  Let me put it simple so as to be clear to all you Ted Cruz, Tea Bag Party folks out there who love clarity:  the basic concept is a representative government, elected by the majority of us, to enact and enforce laws within a Constitutional system.   Laws are debated, and then voted on by this elected majority who won their elections by a majority vote (usually: not with Gore and George W.)  ObamaCare was debated, fought, compromized, watered down, delayed, but voted on by the House, the  Senate, and signed into law by the president.  It was debated again in the last presidential election, it was a center piece issue and clear choice: vote Romney to repeal, vote Obama to keep.  Even the voter paying the least amount of attention knew this.  Obama won reelection.  Now, the minority party, who didn’t win the votes in the legislative process, or the presidential election, or the Supreme Court lawsuit they tried to have it struck down with, now these people are using monkey business to hurt the lives hundreds of thousands of Americans by shutting down the government.  They are saying that since they didn’t get their way through the democratic process, they will try to sabotage the entire government and the country until we decide to “compromise” and give the cry-babies the candy that they want, which is the old way of allowing the health insurance companies to take your money and deny you care for their profit.  Plain and simple.  Give the thieves back their gold, let your children and population die of untreated illness.

Under these circumstances, what kind of leader would Obama be if he allowed this new way of governing by manufactured crisis continue?  It’s been bad enough with a gridlocked Senate due to republican fillibusters prohibiting a simple majority from ruling. Now we have a minority in the house shutting down the government in a back door effort to get the health care law they want, not the one that won in the legislative process.

And now, these farces of responsible lawmakers are claiming that denying the U.S. Treasury the ability to pay for bills that the congress has already incurred if they don’t get their way on health care legislation, is a legitimate tactic as well!  Despite the financial and economic meltdown that economists are saying this could trigger, these ignorant son-of-a-bitches are actually threatening that as backup to the plan of the shutdown getting them their way.  So they are doubling down on  extreme ignorance and lack of concern for the welfare of the country.  Ted Cruz said it was legitimate to use the debt ceiling as a negotiating tool on future legislation.  This phony sack of shit knows better, he is an educated man.  He is just happy to lie through his creepy face that defaulting on America’s already incurred debt in order to get what his minority party wants in the future is legitimate, and the fault of the democrats and President Obama for not compromising.

I’m tired of hearing that line of bullshit, and I’m tired of the media not doing a better job of explaining the process, and that the republicans are attempting to change the legislative process through sabotaging the government by refusing to pass a budget or pay it’s debts.

I’m thankful that President Obama and Senator Reid are holding strong in the face of the suffering that the extreme in the republican House of Clowns are causing the country.  We know that Obama and Harry Reid don’t want the American people to suffer because of republican shenanigans, as they compromised way too much in the past and gave in to past republican hostage taking.  It appears that they have learned that if you negotiate with the minority of republicans under the threat and weight of sabotage, that the swine will continue to do it.  Especially since they can’t win in the elections anymore when the issues are stark and clear.  Otherwise, we’d have elected Mitt Romney.  Thank god we didn’t.  I just hope Obama and Reid and the democrats remain united in standing down this republican temper tantrum that is damaging the country, so it’s the last time we have to do it for awhile.  So far, the White House has done a good job of explaining the situation in terms that are easily understandable and true, and President Obama has led that charge with daily pressure.  Bravo.

I plan on continuing to let people know exactly who is to blame here, and it’s not even close.  The republicans have reached a new low.  Don’t let them try to spread the blame around, this load of shit is all in their making and they have the power to stop it.  We don’t owe them a damn thing in return for them doing their job.  They can take their warped concept of “compromise” and stick it up John Boehner’s ass.
