Redeye's Week in Review

November 2,2010 the day our democracy teetered and fell into the abyss of hopelessness and despair. OK, maybe I'm being a little dramatic, but I really don't believe the American people fully realize the implications of what happened Tuesday. In their haste to put President Obama and Nancy Pelosi in their places America was sold to highest bidder under the guise of "Taking our country back". They are taking our country back all right. Back to deficits. Back to all war all the time. Back to tax cuts for the rich. Back to Scooter Libby Justice, Karl Rove politics and Heck of job incompetence. Back to the days of deregulation. Back to the days of states rights. Back to the days of separate but equal. Yep...back to the future here we come! Yee Haw!

They've taken back their country so now do they want all of those of us they hate so much to leave their country?


You get what you voted for.
For all you teabaggers running around talking about ’socialized medicine’ and ‘ Obamacare’, when the GOP brings up giving you a voucher for your Medicare services, STFU.

For all you in Kentucky, when the next mining disaster happens and a group of folks winds up dead, when Senator Paul tells you that it’s ok for a few peasants to die in order to maximize the profits of the Mining companies, STFU.


For all you ‘recently unemployed’ folks who don’t seem to be able to find a job, and are receiving unemployment, when that runs out on the ‘good American’ that you are, and you realize that the GOP says, ‘ too bad’ and won’t extend unemployment benefits, STFU.

For all of you in Michigan who had your asses saved because the Government wouldn’t let the American auto industry die in this country – whatever the GOP does to you, too bad.

For all you parents who have a child with a pre-existing condition, and thought your worries were over because health care had passed and still voted for the GOP, STFU.

When you don’t have a pot to piss in, and you voted for mofos who basically want you to live as 3rd World Serfs, whatever happens to you – STFU.


Let us not forget to thank the media enablers for providing the getaway car for the hijacking of Hope for CHANGE we can believe in. None of this would have happened if they hadn't enabled the gop to portray President Obama as a Kenyan born Muslim miserable failure, and Nancy Pelosi as the Wicked Witch of the West. The media enablers continue to spin the results of Tuesday's election as proof the majority of the American people believe President Obama should move to the right. That's straight up Bull poo. The right was rejected, renounced and repudiated two years ago by the majority of the American people. White, so called moderate voters aren't the majority of the American people, they are the majority of the people who were motivated, for whatever reason, to vote in the midterms. The majority of the American people were not motivated to vote in the midterms and for that I blame the Obama administration for letting the media set the agenda and not effectively communicating his accomplishment/agenda with the American people.

Psst! President Obama I tried to tell you back in January this day was coming. Sometimes a loss is a victory.
Do you think loosing a filibuster proof majority in the Senate will be a wake up call to the democratic party? (We the people did our part and they squandered it).

Do you think they are going to continue doing the same old stuff hoping for a different result? (Losing in Virginia and New Jersey didn't tell them anything?)

Do you think they are going to grow a spine? (Never underestimate the power of fear and racism)

Do you think they are going to keep silencing progressive voices and criticism? (Put voices from the democratic wing of the democratic party on TeeVee and radio, bring out the big guns and stop taking a kitchen knife to the gunfight)

Do you think they are going to keep rewarding failure and continue to appoint and promote the Brownie's who managed and directed this heck of a job disaster? (We WON with Howard Dean, remember?)

Do you think they are going to continue to misunderestimate the power of the new and improved teabagger infused gop and their media enablers? (Enuff said)

Do you think they are going to continue to let the media and the pollsters spin the message and turn the winners into losers and the losers into winners? (Democrats WON in November, remember?)

Do you think they are re-arranging the deck chairs on the Titanic, or do they have an escape plan? (Is it time to get rid of the filibuster?)

If tonight's loss strikes fear in the belly of the democratic party then tonight's loss is a victory. If it's doesn't then we're all in trouble.


It's official Sweet Home Alabama seceded from the Union this week. Just kidding. Seriously, the republicans now control the Legislature, The Governors office, the Supreme Court and the Attorney Generals office. Which means we'll probably see more democrats investigated and convicted of corruption. Grown a$$ people still can't gamble with their own damn money in Alabama. Residents in the Black Belt won't have them there evil gambling jobs and they won't get no daggumn welfare either! Residents in Perry County will continue to have toxic ash waste dumped on them. Alabama school children will continue to have separate but unequal schools. Government contracts and government jobs will dry up in Huntsville. The Alabama Education Association will be demolished. Joe Reed, Hank Sanders will probably be indicted for being black, I mean corruption. If Alabamians get sick they probably won't have access to health care. Students can't go to college, but heck they don't need no stinking education to get a job at.... But hey, that what we get for not electing Artur Davis as the republican, I mean democratic nominee, we could have at least put a black face on the situation. Yes that was a snark.

Well at least we have a Governor who is ready, willing and able to work for free, a Congressman from the 5th district who might or might not support earmarks, and a state Senator who has vowed to take out the trash in Montgomery.

Keep hope alive y'all, keep hope alive. There are some rough weeks ahead.
