Big talk from a crazy conservative

You know usually I can deal with the far right conservative idiots on you tude but there is this one video that I saw today that I just had to respond to. She calls herself LatinaFreedomFighter. She's part of the crazy conservatives that have managed to find their way onto you tude. One of the first things he talked about was the recent Supreme Court nomination that president Obama made all Tuesday. She first made the comment that in 2003 Democrats unfairly blocked the nomination of Miguel Estrada to the US circuit Court of Appeals. After taking a look at his background this gentleman had no prior experience serving on the bench at the local state or federal level. I think it would put someone on the court especially at the federal level they should have experience being a judge. After 28 months this gentleman saw the light and withdrew his own name from consideration. She then went on a tirade about how Obama's appointees for the Supreme Court was not a good decision, why don't we talk about why the judge Sonia Sotomayor is a very good choice for the Supreme Court. Number one the judge Sotomayor would be the first Hispanic woman to serve on the US Supreme Court. She would only be the third minority to hold that office. Reason two she has graduated from some of the finest law schools in the country see attended both the Yale and Princeton University. Number three she has served in almost every legal capacity that a lawyer could serve in. She was a New York assistant Dist. Atty., she was a trial judge, she served as a corporate attorney, she served as a district federal judge and she is currently a US circuit Court of Appeals Judge. Basically she has more judicial experience of any currently serving Supreme Court Justice at the time of their appointment. There's very little that you can call on with that much experience. Number four the crazy conservatives in this video question on number of the rulings that the judge Sotomayor made during her time on the court. Well let's talk about the one for more famous rulings in debt the 1994 baseball strike. She has consistently issued rulings and discrimination and protect a woman's right to choose. President Obama has demonstrated his commitment to change in this country by appointing a judge that will continue the fight for progressive change in America.
In the same video this crazy conservative question why Obama was spending so much money right now? Well first of all let's understand one thing, it was Pres. George W. Bush then layette United States into an ungodly war and gave billions away to the top 1% of Americans because he thought they needed more tax cuts. Since Obama has gotten off he had provided billions of dollars to expand higher education, funding for road projects, funding for new school construction, funding for early childhood education, and tons of other priorities that the Bush administration failed to take action on. It was not for the Bush administration we very likely would not have seen the devastation from this recession that we have. I president Obama is not stopping there he is finally getting Congress to act on healthcare reform and energy policy reform. And while this crazy conservatives refer to the auto industry as “union infested”I take a large offense to that the unions in this country have fought to make equal pay and healthcare and fair labor practices available to all. Instead of a attacking unions we should be thanking them and we should be working with them to get Congress to pass the info employee free choice act. And now this crazy woman even refers to president Obama as a “political virgin”I have a message to you put some tape over your mouth you crazy nutcase far right extremist conservative. And when it comes to Obama's foreign-policy I have every confidence that Obama is going to would have for is needed to protect this country and our allies. Instead of alienating ourselves from the rest of the world he is trying to reengage the United States and the matters of the world and rebuild our moral standing. So to all the conservatives out there you need to go somewhere sit down and shat up.

Time to get rid of the idiots

Now that the special election is over Detroit can move on to its main election business and decide who was going to run the city for the next four years. Now one good thing did happen, Detroit voters approved a new charter revision commission. This commission will be given the responsibility of fixing the city charter so that it will actually work. One of the biggest things that need to be fixed is the city Council. Right now you have a bunch of clowns are trying to make decisions about the lives of more than 900,000 people. If I heard Barbara Rose-Collins and Monica Conyers I would be very fearful of my future. They are the problem but when people are in their 40s 50s and 60s that they act no better than two and three-year-old little kids. If you watched some of my recent video on YouTube you would see why. With all the problems that are facing you would think that these folks would want to stop acting like idiots. Detroit has double digit unemployment, there is a stack of foreclosed properties in Detroit, and there is$ 200 to $300 million budget deficit. These are issues that are city Council needs to be looking at, not consistently acting like numbskulls at the counsel table.

Now despite what your political affiliations are there is no reason for elected officials to act like they have no home training. I can remember the many video I've seen with Monica Conyers calling people names and arguing at the counsel table. It makes no sense at all this woman even got into an argument with an eighth grader. In my opinion the eighth-grader should have her job and Conyers should be back in eighth grade. Barbara Rose-Collins these to go check herself into a retirement home because when you start singing Onward Christian soldier while TV cameras are in the room and when you decide to comes to meeting with a Tierra and a big yellow dress then it is time for you to retire. The city Council cannot boast one thing they've done to help the people of Detroit out in the last four years. Life in Detroit has not gotten any better is not in a significant job growth or crime reduction in the last four years. We have had major magazines call Detroit one of the worst cities in America. And with the type of leadership in place there not all that wrong.

I graduated from high school in 2003, after checking Facebook I have found that many of my high school friends have moved out of Detroit. And with good reason if you have gotten your college degree why should you have to stay in the city where the leaders are idiots and the schools suck. I had a friend that got her degree in engineering from the University of Michigan she moved out and left for Virginia. One of my friends and my graduating class that attended my high school got her associate's degree from a community college she moved out to a suburb of Chicago. Another friend who played in the marching band with me got his degree and moved to Orlando, Florida. I am thinking about following suit, if there is going to continue to be numbskull in the city then I am not going to raise a family here. While other cities across the country are investing in green job and finding new ways to attract young people Detroit is still stuck in the past. The team wouldn't have the same old dumb argument that have dominated politics in the city for generations. And now we're starting to pay dearly for it. I hope the voters of Detroit will get a clue and clear out the entire Detroit city Council.

Bad move

Well today's been made official stupidity knows no bounds when it comes to politics. In the great state of Illinois also known as the land of Lincoln Democratic governor Rod Blagojevich who is under federal investigation for trying to sell the Senate seat of President-elect Obama. Now today he is made of very gutsy gets stupid move. He has appointed former Illinois Attorney General Roland Burris to fill Barack Obama's Senate seat. One would ask why with this idiot do this, you would think he would do the smart thing but other embattled Governors or mayors would do and that is to resign from his office. Now this Roland Burris himself is a very respectable person. He was the first African-American in Illinois to hold a statewide office. Why would he disgraced himself by accepting the nomination from a governor who has clearly lost the confidence of the people of his state. He may have done it for peer lead political reasons but he has just destroyed any remaining of his political career. He actually said earlier in December that the governor should step down. Yet he is accepting a nomination for you the U.S. Senate from them.

What concerns me about this appointment is the fact that Roland Burris claims that he has no relation to what is going on with Gov. Blagojevich. But why would he accept a nomination from him. This not only brings into question his integrity but also his judgment and leadership. If he were to get into the Senate I don't believe he would have any type of ability to get things done for the people of Illinois. It is very clear to see how big the head of Blagojevich is. He is doing this to try and save himself, he is thinking more about himself than the integrity of the office of which he holds. The first thing that Blagojevich is rescinded the appointment and then he still resign his office. He is doing such a disservice to our democracy by find a hold on to office which he is going to qualify to be. This is the same issue that people in Detroit had to deal with this year. We had a mayor that refuse to accept the fact that he had done wrong. For months people in Detroit had to put up with his mess. Gov. Blagojevich should follow the example of the former New York governor and immediately resign.

First of all I believe that the Democrats in the Illinois legislature failed to pass legislation that would allow for a special election. The governor has given Republicans in the Illinois more ammunition to use against Democrats in future elections. He is doing a great disservice to his state and for his party. For the sake of decency and the integrity of our party and the people of his state he needs to leave office right now. The people of this country have just elected an agent of change. Gov. you do not represent what the people of Illinois and of the United States have voted for it is time to step aside.

All could be lost

It will be a great day when Obama takes the oath of office. After 8 years of oil wars, lies, and policies the benefit the rich it will be a great day. We must not become complacent, we steel must fight to make sure that every vote is counted. We must also make sure that every person who is 18 or over will go and vote. The time for talk has ended and action must be taken now. Change will not come if we sat and do nothing, it will come when people get up a do something like Rosa Parks when she did not get up.

Obama is not the only race we should look at. People must keep in mind that the president is only one part of our government . We have to have a Congress that reflexes the change that we need in the U.S. Republicans in the Congress have stop many good pieces of legislation like the Children’s health insurance program. A law that would have give 10 million kids health insurance. Bush vetoed this good bill and house Republicans would not override the veto. In the Senate Republicans would not allow a final vote on legislation that would tax the profits on oil companies, like Exxon Mobil who made $64.7 billion in three months. We need to have members in congress who also believe in change.

DNC Day 2

Last night convention was better in the fact that the speakers went on the attack a lot more. Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) said in his speech “John McCain calls himself a maverick but he votes with Bush 90% of the time that is not a maverick that is a side kick.” This is the type of language that democrats should be using on John Bush McCain. Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) in the same speech “They cut taxes for the must of us and past the pain to the lest of us. They give huge subsidies to Oil companies and they ask for four more years, how about four more months.” This show me democrats are doing a better job of framing there massage.

Gov. Brian Schweitzer (D-MT) gave democrats some red meat that is well done to eat last night. He said “John McCain voted 25 times against renewable and alternative energy.” Also “ John McCain has taken more than a million dollars in campaign contributions from the gas and industry.” These fact can be used in ads and talking points by left 527 groups. This a go was to get the word out.

Gov. Ted Strickland (D-OH) “John McCain has no problem hitting the snooze button on the economy because he’s never been apart of the middle class. And I would like to say to him Sen. John McCain it’s time for your wake-up call. This step up rhetoric is what is need to fight McCain with. They need to do more of the same.

DNC Day 1

The goal for Democrats for the convention is to go after McCain hard. They did some of that tonight. They need to step it up a lot more, you have to call McCain and his fair right Republican friends. Pelosi could have done a better job of this. I would have called out house Republicans for not voting the override the children’s health insurance program. The Republicans are going after Obama hard so Democrats need to do the same. What is good is how Democrats are going after Hispanic voters. This group can give you states like Nevada and New Mexico. Also Democrats did a ok job addressing weakness in Obama’ support, but have a working white family speak. They need to do more of this to help move polls in state like Ohio and Iowa.

The ture issue the economy

There has been a lot of talk on the economy in the last few months. It is the some story six months of job loss, income is down and cost of food, gas, etc. is up. Most of us feel this everyday. John McCain and his Republican friends is trying to sell us the same old story.

For some reason Republicans think that the some old cut, cut and cut more taxes for big business will help the average person pay for high living cost that people are facing every day. The fact is McCain is playing the same game Bush has been playing for the last seven and a half years. His plan would give tax cuts to Exxon mobile a company that made over $100 billion dollars in the first 3 months of this year. To me this sounds like Bush. If you make that much money you do not need a tax cut.

There are many thing that John McCain has not talked about like for me is the cost of college. I have talked before how Democrats have tried to help college students. Obama would give student a chances to earn $4,000 every year by doing community service work. This is a good idea. McCain has no plan the help college students pay for school. Believe me I have been looking.

Obama has a good tax plan, His plan would cut tax for families that make less that $250,000 a year. This means my mom would see more money in her pocket. Also under his plan my mom would get help to pay for the mortgages and the cost of fuel. This plan would be good for her because she is working on a second degree and I am work on my first degree. McCain’s plan would just say go luck.

John McCain has no plans to help fix America’s ageing infuscate. Obama will invest billons in to projects that will send many people back to work. This is what the U.S. needs a new direction.
