Today, President Obama will be at a 200-person town-hall meet-up to answer questions and hosted by John Harwood CNBC called “Investing in America” today at noon ET … tune in!

I am very upset that regular Americans are this mad that they don’t seem to care who gets into political power and We the People need to get folks informed, educated and understand that we are at a moment that will decide what happens to ALL of us not a select few it will be what gets us all back on track, will be the America that actually respects the rights given to us by our founding fathers …not the misguided or manipulated ideology the hard right is offering up.

The double standard that is the Republican party not only is very annoying it is offensive and it makes you wonder if the people voting these folks into positions of power care about the rest of us. This last week we hear that the tea party led by unqualified VP candidate and quitter ex-Gov Palin is making strides with several candidates running for Senate. The Republican Party should tell Christine O’Donnell that your past matters. I feel she should stop being a two faced opponent! actually that goes for any candidate on the right running for office  …stop trying to be act or portray yourselves as being better than the rest of us. If you have plans to represent the people you and your past is important and people need full disclosure or at leas enough info to make intelligent choices in the voting booth.

The family values Summit sounded like a new KKK meeting. I say this  because of the extreme comments,behavior and ideologies of those on the right that want to re-dress the civil rights amendment, anchor baby talk, terrorist baby talk, the idea of making Muslims register, the signs at protests and the conversations on radio by Limbaugh, beck and more …these people equal crazy with their purity hard right and so-called orthodox membership requirements … who else can belong and be non-white considering their beliefs? That is my opinion.

It was a disturbing outcome to know anyone would listen to Palin speak let alone understand her cliché-ridden comments disguised as speeches and campaigns. As a woman she does not represent me; she talks about family values but clearly she is not a fan of families otherwise she would not be against what family means in this 21st Century. The 14th amendment covers all of us but she and her pack of religious political extremists want to tell Americans how to run their lives calling them socially responsible people; possibly run our government into the ground. If i am even hearing them correctly the folks on the right want smaller government which means privatizing just about everything and you do not have to be a rocket scientist to know what that will do to the middle and or the lower class. It will kill government jobs. it will divide families. What is it that people have to hear or see in order to understand that Republicans do not have our or their own best interest at heart. In the 90’s Newt and his group managed to shut-down our government and along with costing Americans 800 million dollars, we lost a 1 million jobs, police, firefighters which if you have an imagination …think about the chaos and destruction to our already recession ridden country this would create and no one to help keep rule of law in place.

My rant today is about Republicans and the double standard these ugly awful people are about and this includes Christine O’Donnell. There are reports and actual video out there that proves not only is she having financial problems, paid her mom about 3000 for misc duties and was living off the money as well. Then Bill Maher confesses he actually is the one who created O’Donnell as well as a few other conservative female politicos and i get it he knows her and likes her …fine but after everything she and her Political Party of No have said about our President’s religion, family and beliefs hearing her say on camera that she dabbled in things…past present or future is important information that we all  need to take seriously. I am very offended by the fact that not only did O’Donnell cancel all of her appearances she shrugged her shoulders and has made light of it of the things she said, attributing them to being in high school. There are quite a few Republican candidates who have no business in any position of power let alone a Public Servant  serving all Americans …We can be mad at how things are,  you can vote to change the ways things are but to vote for crazy people who definitely have problems and are willing to point at our President as the one who has real issues, is not an American, is a secret Muslim, socialist blah blah blah… is absurd.

It is my opinion that Christine O’Donnell, Sharron Angle Bachmann and the rest of the crazies are liabilities to Americans because they are too extreme, do not believe in equality for all…If they did most of them would not question the intent of the 14th amendment, a woman’s right to choose, immigration civil rights, gays and or religious freedom. To continue; the list of things folks on the right want or will take away from Americans which includes Social Security, Medicare or Medicaid is very long. They want to repeal, shut down the government and stop parents from being able to cover their children with their health-care insurance until they are 26 yrs old. They want to let drs/hosp continue to discriminate against people for having a pre-existing condition. People need to do their homework and get the facts instead of listening to a group of people only giving out the bad side of  HCR. The fact is anything and everything that has a financial association to our government had to be reformed …get informed people
