i just finished reading this article ‘rogues of k street’ submitted by a brave right wing…oops not so brave i guess an anonymous right wing operative.

i guess i understand why he doesn’t want his name out there.  it’s easier to use nefarious tactics and to do your utmost to ruin someone or some organization that you don’t agree with or to utter broad generalizations that have little to no basis in fact when you’re doing it anonymously.

i’m not saying that there aren’t liberals out there who have nefarious practices but much more of this filth exists on the right.  rather than using the truth and actual facts or just pointing out wrong doing, the right is not content unless the leave scorched earth behind them.  i guess for the right it’s a “whatever it takes” mentality.

i spent 8 years watching the right drag every possible thing they could think of out of the dark recesses of their sick minds to smear bill clinton and to try and rope hilary in there as well.  it was a wonder than anything was accomplished under clinton since he had to spend so much time defending himself.  just because he led with his cock in his private life did not mean than he wasn’t a strong leader.

as my husband has pointed out, numerous times, clinton lied under oath.  that was wrong and it was against the law.  it should never have gotten to that point though, in my opinion.  president’s had been keeping ladies on the side for a couple of centuries.  i don’t like it…but it should have been for hilary to deal with.

i was then further amazed…dumbfounded even…that the right who had so villified bill for fucking anything that walked…would stand by and give dubya a blank check and a blank sheet to wreak havoc upon the country.  unfunded war, torture, warrantless wiretaps, guantanamo and military tribunals…to name a few.  fucking is worse than this stuff?  really?  a blow job in the oval office, while repugnant is worse than torture?

that’s right…i get it.  it’s not about right a wrong.  it’s about right and left.  the right is willing to overlook a severe curtailing of civil rights in exchange for a gun and the right to disallow an abortion.

again, the left is not blameless in all of this but it seems to me that the left is at least, for the most part, trying to help people.

the poor southern conservative voter has always been a riddle to me.  how can someone who probably needs welfare and medicaid, who may be unemployed or hold a minimum wage job, who has trouble feeding their children and would qualify for free or reduced school lunches, who probably has no health insurance, who works in a dangerous profession such a mining with poor oversight, who have to sit back and watch as the environment surrounding their home is destroyed by corporations who strip mine and decimate the land…how can these people continue to support the right who’s main concern is protecting the wealthy and the large corporations?

all in the name of keeping a gun and denying abortions.  that other stuff apparently doesn’t matter.  no health insurance?  that’s ok…as long as i can stop you from having an abortion.

it’s sick.  what this anonymous author brags of doing is sick.  none of that helps regular american citizens. i wish that this article were required reading for adults but then again, it wouldn’t make a difference, i’m sure.

destroying an organization such as acorn for a few bad apples was really disgusting.  that organization has been helping the poor for decades.  the problem, though, was they were helping poor minorities who generally vote en mass for democrats.

i guess from a right wing point of view, destroying acorn to prevent votes for democrats was worth taking away this organization that spent so many years helping people.  i wonder if there is an equivalent group on the right but i don’t think so…i can’t think of a right wing group that spends time in the inner city helping the poor minority.  maybe it will come to me eventually though.

arghhh!
