i haven’t felt much like blogging lately…it’s a down time.  i still love obama and my liberals and fucking sick and tired of the republicans just outright lying.  it is just that…lying!  who the fuck is calling them on it?  only people such as jon stewart or rachel maddow.  the supposed liberal media just lets the lies fly around with out attempting to swat them down.

the republicans say that we criticize the likes of sarah palin because we don’t understand her.  what’s not to understand?  she is a evangelical, gun loving, hunting, women’s rights punting conservative.  she lies with impunity.  she clearly does not understand much of what she’s attempting to talk about.  maybe she’s likable to the crowd she’s speaking to but likable does not translate to knowledge and ability.

when she criticizes the president’s nuclear (and sarah, it is nuclear not nucelar) policy it is clear that she is talking out her ass.  it is clear that she has no idea what that actual policy is.  reagan said many of the same things that obama has.  (just for the record, i think that reagan was a spawn of the devil.) will she criticize her god, reagan, for making those statements?  no, of course she won’t.  it’s not about being honest.  it’s about throwing the bombs and hoping the explode in the right place.  i hate that…it makes me sick.

jon stewart did a segment on his show which showed that fox new CLEARLY have an agenda and it’s the agenda of the right wing.  speaking of the nuclear business, fox’s sean hannity had newt gingrich on and they did more than just mistate the facts.  they completely lied about what the nuclear treaty says.  stewart was masterful in his segment in showing the falsehoods uttered by those two clowns and then what the treaty ACTUALLY says.

rupert murdoch recently did an interview about fox news and the WSJ.  when asked about the conservative bias of his station he had the unmitigated gall to state that his channel was unbiased; that they employed both republicans and democrats yet when a member of the audience asked him to name a democrat, he couldn’t.  o’leilly has tried in the past to say that people like greta van sustern and neil cavuto are not conservative.  bullshit…absolute bullshit.  murdoch tries to say that his channel is unbiased but they others are.  either he is delusional or he just thinks if he repeats it enough that it will come true.

today on candy crowley’s show in cnn, her guest haley barbour, governor of mississippi, said that obama has taken the country on a sudden lurch to the left which the current republican party is just trying to correct.  again, delusional.  i would be ecstatic if our country suddenly lurched to the left.  what is the truth?  we are not lurching to the left so much as correcting that horrendous lurch to the right that occurred during the bush years.  maybe the spending wasn’t traditionally right wing but everything else was the right wing in all of its scariness.  unjustified war, a loss of civil liberties, the destruction of our good standing the world around, arrogant stripping of citizen’s rights, the successful reorganization of the supreme court to the extreme far right…i could go on and on.  those are all conservative, far right wing conservative policies.

our country needed a course correction.  we haven’t had much of a correction yet with the exception of the health care bill and even that is just a repackaged republican suggestion from the 1990′s.  it’s not what we liberals asked for and is far from a winning package.

now here we are with another supreme court resignation.  justice john paul stephens will retire at the end of this term.  republicans have already said they will fillibuster the “liberal” nominee that obama will come up with.  they say that they must have their supposed constitutional justice.  it amazing me that they can say this stuff with the two activists that they were able to stack the court with.  alito and samuels are horrendous.  they have overturned precedent that has stood for decades in a right wing bid to reshape the policy of our country.  how dare the republicans demand that we nominate someone middle of the road.  their picks were far from middle of the road.

i have no hope that obama will nominate a liberal.  he just has this need, a gnawing need, to be bipartisan.  he seems to be the only one who doesn’t understand that the republicans have no desire to work with him.  it’s in their best interests to foil him at every turn.  it plays well to their base.  and here we, the liberals, are sitting back, lethargic, unenergized for the coming election.  i guess i shouldn’t say ‘we’.  i’m energized.  i will vote.  i will be involved.  how can so many liberals sit on their hands?

i’m also very bothered by the fact that the liberals in government seem to have hung their heads like whipped dogs rather than get out there and trumpet the great accomplishments of this last year.  they need to go out everyday and call out these conservative right wingers.  they are NOT doing what is best for this country.  the conservatives have no plans except no.  even those plans that they come up with seem to be given the killing thrust once they are embraced by liberals.  why are they not out there screaming these facts every day?

i’m sick of this.  liberals, again, are back to their weak position of apologizing and just hoping to be liked.  it makes me sick.  i wish i wasn’t compelled to vote.  i wish i could sit out these elections in protest of the democratic weakness but i can’t.  i cannot allow the republicans to see one less vote for liberal values.
