(Warning: The following contains some course language, even for this blog.)
(But read it anyway! LOL)
I'd like you all to see something. You may have already caught it (like syphilis) on YouTube. It was emailed to me but a *ahem* close relative. The email simply said "New Republican Video - Wow." I might say the same thing, although where he meant it to be complimentary, I would mean it like, "WOW, now isn't THAT a load of horseshit?!" Or, "WOW, you Republicans sure are stupid! I can't believe you buy into this tripe!"
So please... Take a look... and then humor me, as I destroy it.
Now right off the bat, I;'d like to say that I'd agree 100% with the first 1:18 of it... Assuming it had been put together by a LIBERAL that is.
First of all who's this "we?" WTF is with this "we elected you" shit, seeing as this nothing but is Republican / Conservative / Tea Party / Right Wing Propaganda?! Um, no, sorry Conservatives, but WE elected Obama. You lot voted for the Crusty old White Guy and Caribou Barbie. And it's a bit late to jump on the bandwagon.
And as for being disappointed? Yeah, you;re god damned right we are! Because the guy we elected and the Congress we elected has done everything humanly possible bar picking you up and carrying you into the room, to include you in every conference and every negotiation and has made concession after concession to you fools. I'd almost say "short of letting you write the legislation" but between the absurd and unnecessary (and unpopular) compromises and the actual (formerly) Republican proposals and the stuff that your former lobbyists - now Democratic lobbyists only because they saw which way the wind was blowing before you did - wrote? You assholes HAVE WRITTEN a disproportionate amount of the ACTUAL legislation! You just oppose it now because the other party might benefit if they pass... ANYTHING AT ALL. So stuff this "we elected you crap." No one involved with this video voted anything but a strait Republican ticket and YOU KNOW IT.
(Note: I truly though this at this point, but by the end I wasn't sure sure...)
It goes on to say that, in 2010, "You will lose." OK fine, rally the troops. It IS Republican Propaganda after all. Um... You DO know that President Obama isn't RUNNING in 2010 though, right? Well, whatever. You'll get back some seats back fine. Let's see what you'll do with them:
NO MORE TAXES.
Wow. And they say we're fiscally irresponsible! Oh my God.... Not "No NEW taxes" (they tried that one once, didn't they?) or "No HIGHER taxes" but "NO MORE TAXES." There people sure know how to over-promise don't they? I mean, if the promise THAT to get elected in 2010, don't they think their base might be a wee bit disappointed come 2012? Trust me, the Democrats are seeing right now what happens when you run on one thing and then deliver something else. Beside how will you pay for...
NO MORE SPENDING.
Oh.
I see.
Hmmm... No taxes... No Spending... Sounds like there's no goddamned government at all! Don't you people even want to "support the troops" or something? Hasn't all your concern about the deficit and social security and Medicare and Medicaid been because they'll "bankrupt the government?" Well... i guess you solved that. NO MORE FUCKING GOVERNMENT. Great. Nice job.
NO.
MORE.
SOCIALISM.
This one may be a lot tougher than it sounds. See... at the moment? There's absolutely NONE. So... ANY AT ALL would constitute a failure here. 0 for 3 methinks. Three up, three down. And we're through the first inning. (Maybe what they lack in "socialism" they'll make up for in Anarchy?)
Moving on...
So scary stuff gets shown REALLY QUICKLY with hammers and sickles, followed by:
We tried to warn you.
Of... WHAT, exactly? Communism? A Soviet takeover of America? WHAT? I mean... how often can you predict the end of the world before everyone realizes, "Hey, they've been 'warning us' for, like, YEARS now, and the world is totally still here! These people are nut-bags!"?
But we "Wouldn't listen" so now "We'll pay."
Wait... I thought there wouldn't be any more taxes? Actually this "We tried to warn you" and "You wouldn't listen" so now "You'll Pay" stuff? Would play GREAT as something a LIBERAL might send to the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. After they take they licks in November maybe? We should spam Sec. Gibbs in-box with that, no? Maybe they'll get the message. As for Conservatives... I haven't been exactly sure what world they've been living in since about 1992.
And WHY will "we pay?"
FREEDOM
Oh my God! You mean... You're going to protect abortion rights, allow gay marriage, legalize marijuana and guarantee everyone's freedom to practice our religion as we choose or to not practice at all and to keep our children free from other people, like teachers, forcing their religion on them?
You're a THREAT.
Oh... I see. You mean, "FREEDOM" as in "Freedom to live the way we let you." Sorry. My mistake. Please continue.
To our economy.
Wait... What about Freedom? What are they threatening again? What do you think will happen to "the economy" when there's "No more spending?" Don't you think some of those millions of people who will now be out of a job might be a bit of a drag on the economy? Especially with "no more taxes" being collected to pay unemployment benefits? In the words of Lando Calirssian, "This deal is getting worse all the time!"
(BTW... Democrats do a better job with the economy.)
To our health care.
Well, yeah... I mean, without the public option, the Health Care bill amounted to little more than massive corporate welfare for the insurance companies. But then... Oh wait... That was taken our to please you people... And yet you STILL couldn't get on boar!. Even though... mandatory insurance (for example) was a Republican idea. (Governor Mitt Romney-R, MA, IIRC) So... What the hell are you talking about? You people and you former lobbyists wrote almost the whole damned thing! So.. you might be right here... But, again, only if a LIBERAL made this video!
To.
our.
individual.
liberties.
Like... The liberty to not bear all the children God "blesses" you with? Of the Liberty to marry someone of the same gender? Or the liberty to smoke... Ah, never mind. We've been over this. You people better make sure none of your constituents (1) really take this seriously and (2) own a dictionary. Or you're in trouble!
You bet the farm.
When?
Government takeovers
Huh? Of what? General Motors? WTF are these people talking about? When Hugo Chavez performed a "Government takeover" of Chevron, do you think HE gave them $70 Billion? Buuuuulllshit! He just said, "it's mine now, fuck you." Now THAT'S a "government takeover." This? This was buying stock and guaranteeing loans in order to save about 30 Million jobs. And do you know what? It fuckin' WORKED. And GM will be making their IPO in just a few weeks. After which the Government will start seeing a return on their investment, after getting their money back. So... THANK GOD they bet the farm I guess, huh?
Bailouts
Um... the Bank bailouts were all Bush.
Liberal Policies
I've said it before and I'll say I'll say it again: WHAT FUCKING LIBERAL POLICIES?! NAME ONE!!!
Wait... Maybe there's some coming up... I'm pretty curious to see exactly what Obama HAS done for Liberals myself, so let's watch:
TARP
$700 Billion
That was Bush.
Federal Stimulus
$1.2 Trillion
That was Bush.
Sure Obama had his too but... is it REALLY better to just let the economy collapse? Oh wait... yeah, that's right... according to your "No taxes / No spending" platform, apparently it IS. Wait a sec... Wasn't that the total cost of Bush's two wars? Or was that Bush's final budget Deficit? Because I though Obama's first budget deficit was something like $1.3 Trillion. Oh well.
Federal Reserve Rescue
$6.4 Trillion
THAT was Bush.
Holy shit. Maybe a liberal DID put this together!
Tax.
Spend.
Redistribute.
Riiiight. Because taxing the middle class and giving money to bankers, and multinational corporations is really LIBERAL policy. You know it's bad when just TALKING about STOPPING the UPWARD redistribution of wealth (and not really even DOING anything about it) is met with howls and cries of "COMMUNISM!" And you KNOW someone's really drinkin' the Vodka when BLUE COLLAR AMERICA keeps BUYING IT year after year!!!
We're BROKE.
News to me. We've been dancing to this tune for that past 30 years, save for two years under Bill Clinton. And there's been a Republican in the White House for 20 of them. (More on that coming up...)
Or did you mean the Republican National Committee?
Now... I almost spit my coffee out at the graph that came up next, from 2:11 to 2:16.
Pause it there for a second, because this is important. In fact... THIS, more than anything else, actually made me believe that a Liberal DID put this together, just to see how stupid Conservatives were. You see how it starts in 1980? The year RONALD REGAN WAS elected? And you see how the deficits pretty much just get bigger and bigger right up until about... 1992? When BILL CLINTON was elected? Then they start getting smaller and smaller until there's a surplus for several years? Yeah. And according to this very graph THAT gravy train ends... IN 2002! The VERY FIRST YEAR that GEORGE W. BUSH BUDGET was in effect!!! And after that we see some REALLY BIG DEFICITS! And the last bar on the graph? 2009? Yeah, you see THAT was ALSO a Bush Budget! Obama was ELECTED in 2008. He didn't take office until 2009, and at that time the BUSH Budget was still in effect! It doesn't include a SINGLE YEAR of Obama deficits! NOT ONE! That graph? It's DEMOCRATIC propaganda! And they don't even realize it!
Who's the fool here? Are Conservatives REALLY this stupid, or am I just slow to get our side's little prank? In any case, I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you're concerned about the deficit, for fucksake don't vote REPUBLICAN!
+10% Unemployment
Man. That's pretty bad, huh? Imagine what it might have been without all that stimulus money, huh? George W. Bush sure did leave under a pretty big shit-pile to dig out of, didn't he?
and now you want...
our health care?
I'll assume that this came out, like, a year ago, but how does stopping insurance companies from capriciously screwing over the customer to protect their own profits even as people literally DIE from lack of health care - and this in the most prosperous nation in the world- constitute, "wanting our health care." I'm not even sure I really know what that means. Because, yeah I "want our health care." As in: I want us to HAVE SOME. Oh well, moving on...
(Great picture of Harry Reid coming up at 2:27, BTW. I wish it was a little higher resolution. I'd blow it up, make it into a poster and hang it on my wall. Maybe I'll stick in the blog somewhere. LOL)
I'm sorry if I missed the joke, but the more I watch this, the more I think that a Liberal really DID make it, just to see if the Conservtaives would fall for it.
Backroom deals.
That was Cheney.
Payoffs.
That was Abramoff. (and Bush, and Cheney, etc...)
Blatant and Shameless Bribes
Well, yeah, you've got us there. But we had to do SOMETHING to get a Republican or two on board for the health care bill. So...
We've had enough.
I've had enough of this video. And of Conservative lies and of America's totally fucking ignorance and naivety regarding you people.
We're taking our country back.
To 1860?
From Radicals
Like the TEA PARTY?
Leftists
Name one. (OK, yeah, but no one really takes Dennis Kucinich seriously!)
And Liberals
[Up], [Up], [Up], [Up], [Home], [End], [Ctrl-C], [Down], [Down], [Down], [Down], [Ctrl-V]
We're coming after you
Well, you did LOSE, so you couldn't have possibly come BEFORE us. If you'd WON, we'd be coming after you. Inspiring stuff though. Love the music. Very "Hollywood trailer." All they needed was Don LaFontaine to narrate.
AMERICAN RISING
Well... here's hoping the Democrats finally wake the fuck up anyway. I'm not sure where they've been for the past two years. As for America? Probably more likely to take a nap for the next two years. They'll probably "wake up" sometime in late 2012.
November 2, 2010
(In case those senior citizens at the Tea Party rallies who want to keep Government out of Medicare forget the date.)
Now... the next part, from 3:06 to 3:11, I think, finally shows what the Republicans are REALLY offering, what they REALLY stand for. Don't you agree?
I'm sorry.
Did I miss the point of this? Or are Republican voters REALLY this fucking stupid?
Aout that deficit, it's down 8% UNDER OBAMA. Just another fact you'll never hear about on Fixed News. I'm impressed by your skills and read you in action on MMFA when you obliterated some rw dufus. I'd love 2 add more 2 this but am writing on my palm-not the Sarah Palin kind lol, the phone kind. Keep up the great work! I hope 2 add more frm my laptop.
ReplyDeleteI think they've been brainwashed by Fox News, Rush, Beck, Hannity, et al, and they are armed with slogans and platitudes. The next time someone screams about the GM bailout, ask them if they truly believe McCain would have let GM fail. The next time someone screams about Cap and Trade, ask them to explain it to you. Watch the stammering and stuttering begin. The next time someone talks about the "gov't takeover of the insurance industry" ask them to explain exactly how the government has taken over the medical insurance industry. I'm guessing they won't be able to, because it hasn't happened. Ask them to explain how Obama is a true socialist. In detail. Ask why the Bush tax cuts had an expiration date if they were true tax revenue generators and job creators. Ask how many net jobs were created after the the tax cuts. Ask them what happened to job losses after Obama's stimulus took effect.
ReplyDeleteIt's all slogans and sign waving and flag waving, but zero substance.
You are not only nice Eddie. You are also wise. Continued success to you and your site.
ReplyDeletebtw, Did you even have to ask? Yes, Republican voters are that fucking stupid.
ReplyDeleteThe FACT is that the people who voted against Obama will still vote against Democrats. And those who voted FOR Obama will either vote for Democrats or not vote at all.
ReplyDeleteAnd those missing voters will be the difference.
People who actually wanted the changes that Obama promised aren't disappointed because he did too much, and made changes that they didn't like - it's that they didn't make enough changes fast enough. It's a thoroughly dishonest piece of baloney.
@Anitamurie -
ReplyDeleteThanks for that info about the deficit and for your kind words. BTW... It's not just FOX. You won't hear that story being carried by MOST of the mainstream media, because it doesn't fit the narrative they're trying to sell. (Which is completely divorced from history and reality?)
@Sammy -
You got it. Facts and reason tend to have a liberal bias, as we know!
@Ayatollah Truthmeni -
Thank you. Always good to have the backing of the Ayatollah. LOL
@DellDolly -
I KNOW, RIGHT? WTF? How can so many people be so dishonest and there be THAT many people stupid enough to swallow it, and/or otherwise not call them out on it?!
For me it comes down to this (which is why I'm such a fan of MMFA): If you have to LIE and misrepresent either your position or the opposition's in order to get elected and/or to sell your position, how can you POSSIBLY have the right position? I don't understand how these people think, other than to conclude that they DON'T KNOW HOW! That the Republicans get more than about 2% of the vote is proof of this.
Thank you all for your comments.
Wow! I want a republican rebuttle to this. Specifically the batshit crazy person who made this vid. I really can't imagine what they could say. Can this be arranged somehow??
ReplyDeleteDaniela,
ReplyDeleteThanks. And hey: I'd love to see that as well!
Anyone of any stripe is welcome to come here and say their piece. What few Conservative posters I have are (I THINK) far too pricipled and far too annoyed with what's been happening to the Republicans to be all that motivated to defend this however.
(I could be wrong... If any of y'all think I'm WAY OFF here, again: I'd love to hear what you have to say.) :)
Thanks for your comment.
