While I wish I had the energy to write a complete assessment of the State of the Union speech, I thought it worthwhile to at least point the direction on a topic many people took a jab at on Twitter, namely Senator Al Franken sitting immediately behind our military leadership during the State of the Union speech.
It may be simply explained by Senator Franken’s commitment to the USO and his 10+ years of service to lift the spirits of our troops.
Let’s not overlook what’s been accomplished over the past year. Yeah, it’s not sexy. Yeah, it’s not the kind of thing you want to work on. But it’s progress nonetheless.
. . . We’ve brought the economy back from the brink of the worst economic condition since the Great Depression. Heck, we’ve even already been paid back some of the bailout money so many people, including myself, are generally upset over.
. . . We’ve articulated a plan to withdraw from Iraq.
. . . Our standing in the world has dramatically improved.
. . . We have plans for Afghanistan that help focus [ more . . . ]
Troubles getting your Corporate voice heard? Drowned out by pesky people and all their individual needs, like food and water and avoiding foreclosure and healthcare? Need government to make your Corporate ‘life’ a little easier and less complicated?
Then you’ll definitely want to take a look at our soon-to-be-released Senate and House Race Fractional Share Bidding System scheduled for launch as soon as friggin’ possible!
You heard right, Corporations! Soon you’ll even have a tool of your very own that delivers:
Privacy Protection of Bids — Everything’s keep private and secure on our servers . . . That is, until you win, you [ more . . . ]
Proposed as the 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution . . .
It is the duty and obligation of every eligible voter to cast their ballot in any and all elections applying to their voting district.
I’m open to rephrasing and arguments on interpretation, but I think it’s high time we as a Nation affirm a core belief, that Democracy is a truly participatory form of government and that, as a consequence, it is inexcusable that any eligible voting American forsake such a simple task as casting a ballot.
This is something I’ve shared over the past few years with quite a [ more . . . ]
This is my one, fundamental complaint with Democrats and the Democratic Party . . .
Why do Democrats think the People want to put them in charge if — on the big issues — all Democrats do is compromise and seek bipartisan support when they’re in near total control? After all, Democrats can just as easily play that role as the MINORITY as opposed to the MAJORITY party. Lead, Fight, and Get the Things Done that Need Getting Done!
Simple — If it’s right, and you can make it happen, DO IT! Once done and done well, the People will love the [ more . . . ]
First of all, Congratulations to Scott Brown. I mean that. Having run for office myself (office, not public office), it’s no easy task. It’s hard. It’s fun. It’s grueling. And at least part of it is that you hope you end up with as few people hating you as possible.
Scott Brown won, and Scott Brown deserves to be congratulated for that.
That said, I’m not so sure the People of Massachusetts will be happy with the result, whether now or somewhat soon. The one and only caveat to that statement depends on whether Senator-Elect Scott Brown changes the color of his [ more . . . ]
There’s a Boston Globe Op-Ed written by Joan Vennochi that lays out a pattern of how Scott Brown and his supporters are, simply put, bullying. And wouldn’t you know it, Scott Brown supporters are all over Ms. Vennochi for daring to write the truth.
Well, I’ll tell you, I’m sick of Scott Brown supporters, and here’s why (submitted on-line as well in reply to Ms Vennochi’s Op-Ed).
To all the Scott Brown supporters out there . . . The facts are the facts. So far — in just the past few days — I’ve had the following encounters with [ more . . . ]
Scott Brown’s smiling reaction to a supporter yelling that they “shoud shove a curling iron up her [Martha Coakley's] butt”.
I don’t care if it’s a stupid person’s best one-liner. Scott Brown had an obligation to correct and counter his supporter on the spot. It is after all his supporter. Scott Brown is responsible for setting the tone and behavior of his campaign, and he’s failed utterly.
Thanks to ThinkProgress.org, here’s a quick video everyone should watch who’s wondering just who this guy Scott Brown is.
In, oh, just over a minute he manages to defend Sarah Palin and — get this — distance himself from President Obama’s black heritage. What, Scott, the next best thing to having a white President is not having to admit you have a half black one?
I’d like to suggest that everyone in Massachusetts band together for the sake of informing the General Public exactly who the hell this guy Scott Brown really is.
But let’s be honest and fair — I’ll start.
Scott, it may be a disappointment, but I’m not voting for a truck. Just like I always thought it was a bad idea for people to vote for a guy you could have a beer with (George Bush), I’m voting AGAINST you on the issues.
First and foremost, you, Scott, gave a television interview where you prided yourself on hopefully being the 41st Senator to [ more . . . ]
