Your note to Tim

The GOP turned in to what it is during the late 60' early 70's when Nixon was looking in the camera saying "I'm speaking to the silent majority . And you know who you are" . Later Reagan perpetuated the Nixon approach . If you want to know what they are go back to GWB's speech to the U.N. "You are with us or against us . Nobody can sit on the fence" . He was saying "you are the enemy if you are not one of us" . It is beginning to look as if to be one of them you must be from the South . I hope I am not intruding .

OUR NATION

These companies that move to Dubai and other places while doing business here making use of our commons are nothing more than larcenist in taking something they have not paid for . When Senator Joe Biden made the statement "that it was good to pay taxes" he was criticised and ridiculed by the people that approve of burdening the people that must pay taxes . Our military and other parts of our commons can not go away . We must pay for them and the more payers the cheaper it will be for each .

THE POWER OF RUSH

Rush and his machine got a double whammy from the Obama organization in the lead up to Obama's journey to the W.H. Remember Rush ordered his tea baggers to vote in the Dems primary for Hillary and lost . Next he threw his total vocabulary and every innuendo he could invent at Obama in the general election and lost again . The vaunted Rush L . machine has some serious chinks in it's armour and Wilson has demonstrated his lack of prudence by eating from the Rush revenge trough . Rush is presently back at the drawing board working very hard because his race card has a few dents in it .

INTELLIGENCE

In every election mainly two types of people vote . The unintelligent and the intelligent . By intelligent I am refering to the aware and the unaware . Looking at the results of the election millions of people that are suffering from the economic devastation caused by several of the last administrations voted for more of the same . Seemingly unaware of what caused their suffering and in the minds of that group ideology has caused a tunnel vision syndrome for which there seems to be no cure . The GOP has adopted information sources that speak the language of that group of people to rely on to get out the GOP message and that group has been shrinking in size as more people become aware that the GOP has nothing to offer except increased corporate incomes to the detriment of worker incomes . During the last administration the word "Patriotism" which was used often by the GOP in referring to the raping of the middle East for their resources has become a hated word . Just ask two questions 1. Would you pay more taxes to enjoy better health 2. Would you pay more taxes so all Americans could enjoy better health . The answers will amaze you .

HELP IS ON THE WAY

Please read the bill initiated by Rep DK of OHIO . It allows States to set up local health care systems . What his bill will do is move the control of our health care out of DC to our local governments where we have a louder voice and fewer lobbyist .

HEARTLESS

If it's by Mr Reich it's got to be good and this is a very good article . The Wall Street gang enjoy's an assault on the downtrodden . Those Unionized so-and-sos are the bane of their very life so there will be no mercy . If Congress was not owned by Wall Street we could have Congress order the Big Box retailers to open and use local bank accounts in the neighborhoods where they have set up shop and ruined the local Mom and Pop shops . If Congress can force every American to pay insurance corporations of any kind then Congress can certainly order the Big Box retailers to create a cash flow in their areas of business . Think of the benefit to the Big Box retailers . It would not have a national cost and no cost to the Big Box retailers . This would be grass roots stimulus in many parts of our nation .
