Come On LIberals, You Can Do Better

So I took a long hiatus because I felt everything that needed to be said about the politics of the day or the latest race-based outrage was being pretty well covered.  However I'm once again drawn back in because we seem to focus on one story at a time--typically the least important.

So first day back I'm just going to throw some random thoughts out there and see what sticks...
1) Herman Cain is not going to be elected to anything.  I swear if he is I'll eat my hat on YouTube.  Can we stop using him to get clicks--I'm looking at you HuffPo.
2) Who cares that Michelle Bachman gets migraines?  She's 5 points behind the frontrunner! Let's start talking about her policy positions because I think she could get elected in this crazy country.
3) MSNBC I understand how gleeful you are over the News Corp debacle, but Rupert Murdoch will not go to jail.  We may be able to use this to give the FCC some teeth and bring back ownership regulations but even that is a longshot.
4) Bill Clinton says he'd invoke the 14th amendment if he were faced with the current debt ceiling stalemate.

And there's your winner!  Just when you think public political debate couldn't get more ridiculous, Clinton steps in swinging his dick around.  Clinton knows full well that if POTUS invokes 14 we'll go to a "Death Panel"-mode of hysteria in a milisecond. Clinton is to liberals what Reagan is to conservatives and he enjoys it a little too much.

It's easy to say what you'd do in a given situation (that's what the old folks call selling wolf tickets) and with a Monica under every desk, all the world's problems would be solved.  Bill, are your southern roots kicking in or is it your monumental arrogance?  It's deplorable that he's never really supported this president.  It's unfathomable that in the face of all that's going on we STILL cannot get a united Democrat party.  I'm exhausted of it.

And the media, in perpetual fear of losing access, has nothing. Back in May, Clinton was recorded telling Paul Ryan to call him to discuss Medicare. He patted him on the back and said "We gotta get this done."  Rachel Maddow showed the clip on her show and nobody picked it up.  I think that demonstrates that ALL media is corrupt; not just media owned by Rupert Murdoch.  Even the crunchy-granola, liberal station in the Bay didn't touch this story.

Sigh...

If the voting public really started connecting the dots and looked at the similarities in the Republican and Democrat parties, of the 21st century,  a fourth party with muscle and brains, that actually understands politics, the constitution and policy could become a reality.  We could have a media that provides facts instead of sensationalism and bombast.  Just the thought gives me a tingle up my leg.

Rebellion isn't coming anytime soon; we're too busy being mad at Casey Anthony and eating our way to diabetes.  Had Marie Antoinette told this country to eat cake we would have complained that it wasn't chocolate.

It makes you wonder if the conspiracy theorists are right...maybe we're all pawns on a giant chess board and all the bloviating and finger pointing is just for show.
