Comments Off on Republican Leadership In Texas Is A Failure
It’s been a number of years since the recently departed Ann Richards was governor here. Some coke-headed frat boy ran a gutter snipe campaign with the help of Karl Rove and ran her out of office. What a political fiasco that turned out to be for America. He fucked up Texas and then fucked up the country and a good portion of the world as well. The current leadership in Texas is taking notes and following the lesson very well.
There are no Democrats in any statewide office right now and it shows. With the tax cut mantra tucked firmly under their arm the republicans run for the end zone time after time scoring numerous touchdowns. Trouble is they are scoring them for the wrong team. Vested interests and big business have bought up all the GOP leaders and everything they do reflects the interests of these corporate whizbangs. The people haven’t been short changed. They have been screwed over.
Want example? There are plenty of them.
republicans made a big fuss about abstinence only sex education. They claimed that too much information made our young people crave sex and that caused all the unwanted births to our teenagers. The reality of the situation is that abstinence only sex education made our young people stupid and uninformed and now Texas can claim to be a leader in teenage births across the nation. “We’re Number Three!” is not a claim that we should be proud of but, for some ignorant ass reason, we are.
republicans made a big fuss about being taxed too much so they cut taxes. They said small government is better for us. The trouble is that small government works when your population is small and your country is undeveloped and has no need for services. Texas is neither a small population state or are we undeveloped but the services that are available in thus state are sparse to non-existent because there is no money to pay for any of it by order of the corporate controlled legislature. Road repair, new schools, adequate health care for children, unemployment benefits and dozens of other services are skimpy at best because of the stupidity of the “tax cut” crowd. They hated government so much they got elected and then showed us how rotten their whole way of thinking was in order to prove the point.
The current leadership of the state is caught up in arguing over the stimulus money that is supposed to help Texans recover from the recession. They are also fighting the push for health care for all Americans. That whole situation is so bad that one out of every three Texans is without any kind of health insurance at all. Turds-for-brains John Cornyn is whining about how much money health care will cost while ignoring two simple facts: 1) a third of the state doesn’t have health insurance and 2) they go to the ER for their health care which is paid for with increased hospital taxes to pay for the most expensive care there is. Can you say, “This is STUPID!” loud enough so he can hear it when his head is that far up his ass?
This past weekend there was a free health care clinic in Houston to take care of those who had no paid care. More than two thousand people showed up to get care and more would have come by if there had been more publicity on it. Not one public official from Texas was there. They do not want to see that the people they represent are suffering because of their lack of action, their ignorance of the problem, or their outright stupidity. Two thirds of Americans want a public option in the new health care plan being proposed. You know what that means for Texas? Not a fucking thing because these jerks stopped listening to Texans a long time ago.

Comments Off on The Karl Rove Hypocrisy Parade
What a hypocritical sack of NeoCon shit this punk is. This guy seems to think that we have no collective memory about the past and that when he gets on the NeoCon Network of choice and starts whipping out his BS that somehow history will disappear and his words of today will replace what he has spewed for years. Sorry, Bucko, but it doesn’t work that way. The latest in the litany of lies came a few days ago when Rove pontificated that the White House was politicizing the controversy surrounding his butt-buddy Rush Tub-A-Lard. Infuckingcredible!
He went on TV and started whining that the Obama White House was reverting to the 1990’s style of politics practiced by Bill Clinton where surveys and focus groups determined what policies and strategies were employed. He claimed that Clinton did this for political expediency and not for the best best interests of the nation. He went on to say that “we” grew to dislike this style of politics. You mean as opposed to the style of politics that Rove practiced in the 1990’s? As opposed to the Lee Atwater slash and burn politics where everyone is fair game and no smear or unsubstantiated rumor is beneath repeating? Yeah, Fat Boy, tell us about your Come To Jesus moment that allows you to be sanctimonious on your little TV interview segments whilst ignoring the vile crap you have peddled your entire political career. Infuckingcredible!
Rove has a marvelous way of ignoring history, facts, and reality when it doesn’t serve his NeoCon talking points. Let’s start with his bashing of Bubba. Rove did not like the fact that Bubba used focus groups or surveys to determine what direction he wanted to go because NeoCons like himself never ask anybody what they should do. They have their “fuck them all” philosophy to go on andi nothing else matters. Asking people their opinions about policy matters or issues? What? Are you kidding? No wonder Rove and his ilk hated Bubba. How dare he! That “we” shit about politics in the 1990’s applied only to NeoCons who could not stand the fact that, even in the middle of being impeached, Clinton had better ratings than Congressional republicans and every NeoCon you could name. They have never gotten over it. Infuckingcredible!
Rove seems to think we have forgotten about his own involvement with the Chimpster’s campaign for governor in Texas in 1994 where he was behind the scurrilous push poll that alleged that Ann Richards was a lesbian. He seems to think that his nasty racially inflammatory allegations that sank John McCain’s campaign in 2000 have been forgiven and forgotten. He wants us to gloss over the flyers he put together attacking a candidate’s family that he thought were a legitimate tactic to use in campaigning. Rove wants us to ignore the dirty tricks and underhandedness that have marked American politics in the last two decades that he has been directly responsible for when he spouts this utter nonsense on national TV hoping that he can smear Obama with the same broad brush that he’s smeared everybody else with. Infuckingcredible!
Rove claimed that by going after Rush Tub-A-Lard that the Obama administration was somehow attempting to refocus our attention on that worthless pile of rat meat that is the Tub-A-Lard and not on the issues facing our country. He wants us to think that Obama is obsessing over Tub-A-Lard when the economy is in the ditch, unemployment is increasing, infrastructure is crumbling and hundreds of other things are looking bad after eight years of Rove-Bush-Cheney misadministration. Is he kidding? No, he’s not. He’s just lying just like he always does. Infuckingcredible!
I’m not going to go into all the thousands of ways that, as political operative with a White House job, that Rove politicized an entire presidential administration including corrupting the US Attorneys’ office, endangering women’s health, circumventing environmental regulations, and going after Democratic office holders as a matter of course. Even the former mouthpiece for Chimpster’s presidency (Scott McClellan) was astonished at how political it all was and how it seemed like the campaign of 2000 never ended once they got into the White House. President Obama has a grip on what ails us and is busting his ass to fix everything the NeoCons broke over the last eight years and Rove cannot handle that Democrats are better at governing than NeoCons ever could dream to be. So what was Rove complaining about again? Whiny bullshit, that’s what. Infuckingcredible!
