Howard Fineman and Chris Matthews postulate that things are going nasty in the presidential race.
And they point to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann saying that SoS Hillary Clinton is fostering the Muslim Brotherhood and Rush Limbaugh saying that President Obama hates this country. Really Rush? Not as much as YOU seem to be able to hate. I don't think anyone can hate as good as you really. Maybe we oughta give you a medal for hateopia. Or even a trophy for the world's meanest heart. And Limbo and Cheney can do a semifinal to see which of them is meaner.
I complained to my Senator Blunt's office about Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and I pointed out that the Repubs have great discipline and they need to sit on Michele cause this is not doing us any good internationally. The gal answering the phone said that the Dems have great discipline. "Oh if only!" was my reply.
I feel that our attacks concerning Bain are definitely on point. Bain is the reason Rmoney has put forth for his running and why he thinks he will do good in the office.
We have also had the great fun of actually having a multimillionaire that we can poke fun at and see him in his native state. It is fairly obvious that Rmoney has no connection with the majority of us other than as suppliers to his good. We are the gardeners, the maids, the housekeepers, the bookkeepers that help him run his domain quietly and smoothly. I think it fair that we look at that lifestyle and acknowledge some truths. We don't have access to the kinds of accountants that would allow us to take dressage off as an expense. And even our corporatecrats have a hard time pulling in $50,000 a plate at a fund raiser. And truth is, he wants more taxes cut from what he might owe and he pays very damn little now! And he wants the rest of us to make up the shortfall (no free stuff remember, except for him and his jillionaire buds.)
So, I don't see the equivalency of what the rethugs are doing and what Obama and ourselves are doing. Maybe it is just my prejudice showing.
As usual more questions than answers: Do you think that rethugs are going to meanner in this election? Do you think Rmoney will quit whinging and put up his taxes? Do you think Rush or Dick Cheney is the meanest?
