This is a picture of the late, great, Myrna Copeland celebrating the inauguration of President Barack Obama from a face book page dedicated to her memory. I remember that night and how excited, happy, and hopeful were all were. We joined hands, formed a circle, and sang We Shall Over Come because we truly believed the long, national, Bush, Dick, Rumsfeld and Company nightmare was over. We left the Davidson Center that night full of HOPE for CHANGE we could BELIEVE in.
So what happened? How did the winners turn into losers, and the losers into the winners? I'll tell you what happened...the gop infused,media enabled, TeaPublicans happened.
President Obama didn't help matters by trying to play nice with the TeaPublicans at the expense of people like us Professional Lefty Retards. What part of you can't play nice with people who hate you didn't he understand?
The Talking TeeVee Pundits Heads helped hijack Hope for Change we can believe in by providing the fair and balanced get a way car. The truth is not fair and balanced, it's either the truth or it's not. Case in point, Monday's Jansing and Company line up on MSNBC featured a segment with former RNC chair Micheal Steele representing the republican point of view, and former Congressman Artur Davis representing the democratic point of view. Big eye roll.
What have the TeaPublicans and the Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads ever been right (no pun) about? When have they ever been on the right (no pun) side of history? I wonder what they are going to say when Ron Paul wins the Iowa Caucus?

TeaPublicans say they're against tax increases. But extending the payroll tax cut is a tax cut, not an increase--something you'd think TeaPartites would support, but don't.
It's not about tax cuts or tax increases, it's about making the economy an albatross around Obama's neck, and Democrats in Congress, so that Republicans can use it as a wave to carry them to shore, where awaiting them there will be the White House and the Congress.
We know that this nation is in trouble when the mega-media duck its responsibility to cover newsworthy events, such as the Occupy Wall-Street movement, because it may alienate those at the seat of our capitalistic system--Wall Street magnates, and those who depend on it for their various fortunes.
On the advice of his advisers, Obama "play[ed] nice with the TeaPublicans" because they saw this as a way to woo Independents, and entice them to give him critical votes in the 2012 election.
This group, they believe, prize nothing more than a bipartisan approach to governance, and as long as Obama appeared to operate in this fashion, he would score high marks with them.
This thinking turned out to be fallacious, as Independents consistently polled more in favor of his opponents than for him.
If the dialog is said to be "fair" on these talk shows, it means that we're going to get a "fair" amount of propaganda, spin, and hypocrisy, enough to "balance" out the truth, so that listeners won't be swayed by the facts.
If Ron Paul wins--not only the Iowa Caucus, but the Republican nomination for president--Republican heads will spin until they achieve liftoff, and Republican tongues will attempt to speak in support of him, but gag on their own spittle.
If Ron Paul wins--it will mean the real republicans want their party back from the TeaPublicans.

"If Ron Paul wins--it will mean the real republicans want their party back from the TeaPublicans."
It would be a step in the Right direction, but Right now Ron Paul is being skewered unmercifully by party spokespersons on the Right--namely, Fox News pundits.
Paul's rise in the polls is sending shivers of concern and foreboding throughout the conservative media.
For one, these concerned Republicans don't think Ron can beat Obama in 2012, and for two, they feel he's too isolationist for their hawkish disposition.
Despite what the polling pollsters and the Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads think, the majority of the American voters don't hate Obama more than they love America.
