Oh my.

Since when have the primitives given themselves to quoting Herbert Hoover?

Can you feel it? The corner has been turned.   

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9PUyBa59ag&feature=chan...

The harsh summer, has tired America of fools. The boil has ruptered. Republicans are being seen as the unamerican force they are. Healthcare reform looks to be enforceable. The momentum from that will have Repubs reeling. And exploding. But they already raped the meaning of all harsh words. They cannot string all their words together. They are done.

I hope Obama has something all lined up next. Let's Roll.

1. Poutrage Blowback...

The GOOP has become a party of whiners...crying wolf too much and looking crazier and more irrelevant as they do. The vitriol from their side has poisoned political discourse and is now grating on a majority...tired of the non-stop tantrums. The rushpublicans are like 3 year olds...carrying on constantly but now the adults are starting to tune them out.

As I saw during last year's election, President Obama realizes it's not who starts the debate who matters but whose left in the end. The poutrage by the wingnuts this summer made people think about healthcare and over time a majority are seeing the problems with the system and want a public option and other systemic changes. While the baggers tried to shut down this discussion, President Obama has expanded it and the contrast couldn't be more glaring.

There's still a lot of heavy lifting to do...first with healthcare, then with the economy and Afghanistan...the list this administration has had to deal with is long and until now has faced massive resistance from those who created the mess and want him to fail. The attempts to dehumanize, illegitimize and otherwise obstruct this regime is failing...they protest too much.

The fun will now be watching the GOOP devour itself as the party "regulars" who want and need to win elections try to wrestle control of their own party from the "purists".

2. The corner turned for me on January 20th and though it's been a slow coast around the bend, I've had no less than 100% faith in this President. He'll get it done. Just watch.

Yeah, franksolich is watching.

4. The GOP has truly had a real rough summer. They were loud but loony. 

The Right's schtick is all volume and no values. Hypocrisy is a mangy 3-legged flea-bitten rabid hound dog come to eat Farmer Brown's chickens. History is about to foreclose on that farm.

I'm not seeing how the Republicans have a sustaining vision that is persuasive to a majority of voters when they continue to allow people like Limbaugh, Hannity, and Beck to be their voice. They appear to deliberately have chosen propaganda instead of any kind of political or social plan. The propaganda is all spite and spat and bile and bullshit. They condone and advance character assassination with no plausible alternative.

Michael Steele's public pronouncements have been useless to them in the times when he is not busy apologizing to Rush Limbaugh. When he's not useless as their Chair, he's damaging to their chances.

And just ahead, they are likely to experience a blood bath for their 2012 presidential nomination. Palin, if she runs as a Republican, is threatening to them because she is ignorance manifest, a joke, a cartoon, a quitter, a secessionist moron, a slaughterer of wolves. If she runs as an independent she is also damaging to the GOP, as she would siphon the idiots and nutbags and secessionists in any general election. At best, a Palin indie launch would pull 5-6% and relegate Romney to no better than 37-40% in a competitive general election, IMO. It would ensure re-election of the secret Muslin socialist Marxist Obama.

Hate-hosts, character assassins, teabagging hypocrites, and squawking townhall rowdies in diminished political acreage.

As certain as they are of things it is odd that they forever seem to be trying to convince themselves.

Truly insane.

What would happen if even 15% of the Republicans figured they'd be better off quitting their jobs and getting all these benefits than working?

That would be a real national strike as tax revenue drops even more.
