Morning Jokers and The Nightmare on Main Street

h/t jobsanger

So, I woke up this morning to the Morning Joke Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads' mock outrage over the length of former democratic IL Governor Ron Blagovitch's sentence, and gleefully reporting news former republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich is leading the GOP clown car in Iowa, cutting into President Obama's support in Ohio and several swing states. Mind you all of this information is according to the polling pollsters and the pollsters who poll them. We have to remember they don't poll many democrats/liberals/progressives, and there is a huge disconnect between the polling pollsters and 99% of the American people.

IF the polling pollsters and Morning Jokers are right (pun intended) HERE is a snippet preview of the Nightmare coming to a Main Street near you and yours courtesy of Everything Possible Happens

Primary bedrock principles of the Republican Party:

If Obama is for it, we're against it, even if it was our idea to begin with.
If Obama is against it, we're for it, no matter how hard or for how long we fought against it before.

Specific policy positions of the Republican Party:

Raising taxes on the middle class isn't raising taxes. St. Grover said so.
Close our embassy in Iran!
Teachers are only in it for the money.
The media has a well known liberal bias.
Reality has a well known liberal bias.
Ignorance is bliss. We're the party of bliss on tap.
Democracy means making sure only the "right" kind of people vote.
9-9-9! (English translation: No, no, no!)
The 1% rule! All hail the 1%!
Poor people should work harder so rich people can get richer.
Make damn sure everyone over 21 votes on November 12!
Brown people aren't people. Corporations are people.
Amend "show your papers" laws to prevent more accidental snaring of rich white people.

There's more to skeer the bejezzus out you

We don’t even a have a Republican nominee yet, but they’re floating names for cabinet appointments.

Newt Gingrich received a standing ovation from the audience at a Republican Jewish Coalition meeting on Wednesday for promising to appoint John Bolton to be secretary of state if elected president.

The former House Speaker pledged to appoint Bolton, the controversial former ambassador to the United Nations for President George W. Bush, to the top diplomatic post if he were elected.

Mitt Romney says he’d name cabinet officials before the election so they could face off with current cabinet officials.

“The answer is yes,” Romney said in response to a question on whether he would consider nominating someone such as former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani to be his attorney general so that individual could challenge Attorney General Eric Holder.

Yep. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Forget about the obvious violation of Constitutional rights that the recently-approved $662 billion Defense Authorization bill inflicts by allowing for indefinite military detention of United States citizens without formal charges or trial by a jury of peers, the justification for doing so just became more absurd. In the clip below, Rand Paul (R-KY) asks John McCain (R-AZ), "if an American citizen is declared an enemy combatant, could they be sent to Guantanamo Bay and detained indefinitely?"

To which McCain replied affirmative; "If they pose a threat to the security of the United States of America." McCain claimed this new anti-American authority was needed because of the "facts" that "27% of detainees who were released get back into the fight."

I HOPE everybody wakes up in time to save our children from this nightmare.
