Congress is still on break…sigh ..so much work to do, so many bills to get through… only if we had more(truer) Democrats on the floor of both Chambers of Congress. Vote Dems on Nov.2nd
***Today started out like another day of nasty weather just like the rest of the country and while the weather does affect, maybe set the mood for the day it is on a very rare occasion that the weather makes a person or group of people act out in ways that are not just extreme, obscene and or pack like but their actions and their words have influenced some ugly behavior from their followers. The words and comments being made by rightwing radio hosts, protesters and cableheads but mostly Republican Tea Party candidates continue to race bait, promote violence, lean to the extreme as promises of repealing, replacing and eliminating looms over the middle class if the Republican Tea Party gains control. I have to say contrary to what progressives are saying on the airwaves the land of the middle class is not ruled or inhabited only by white folks like keith o and ed Shultz would have us all believe. I appreciate the advocacy they do and the variety of guests but it is getting tiring to hear that “those people” in need, the poor blah blah blah they talk about are black or Latino …I am not naïve but being poor is not about colour Keith and or Ed Shultz, there a lot of poor white people in need too as well as there being non-whites who are or should be included in your so-called Middle Class monologue yo. The words coming from the right definitely upsets me but I gotta say tuning into so-called progressive stations playing the class war game as well is making me tune out almost completely.
The great speech while in Wisconsin by Mrs. O is below
We have two weeks before we all vote and though people like Palin love trying to engage in the art of fear mongering it would be great if the public finally gets it and turns off the nasty vitriol. Words still matter, words hurt as we have seen over the last few weeks and this seems to have been lost on a whole lot of people on the right. The blood pressure of Americans seems to have been pushed up by rhetoric that is just full of miss-information. After watching the latest round of debates the need to fact-check not only the news but right-wingers and their candidates because the do as we say not as we do is in full effect and while we all expect truthfulness this 2010 group of Republicans have decided to lie…luckily for folks who care can log into YouTube and plug in any candidate and hear their views their real opinions because it got caught on tape.
The changes the Obama admin and Congress have been able to put in place despite the Political Party of no will affect all our lives, our children and our jobs. The new HCR laws will transform the lives of people who previously were denied coverage due to an illness, people who have kids just about to turn 22, usually get dropped will now be able to stay on your insurance until age 26 and as for being a woman… def a pre-existing condition has been dealt with and while some of us didn’t have these new laws in place when we needed them it is with great pride that others will not be subjected to insurance and or health care discrimination; hopefully, all the changes will happen in a positive way; create healthier people and jobs in the future.
Anyone with a mom, sister, daughter or wife should celebrate because the new law of the land will increase her ability to live longer.
