Ahhh, thank heaven the circuses are over, and political discord can advance to the next-to-last stage of smash mouth positioning.    Both sides have had their turn at their highly visible, yet self-indulgent, pep rallies and now it’s time to get down to business.

Smash Mouth Politics

The remainder of September will be filled with punch, and counter-punch, bantering with media pundits keeping score on who lands the most effective blows.   Let the Games Begin, only this year certainly looks more like a cage match blood sport in the works.

Desperation always brings out the very ugliest in Democrats, the more desperate they are the more ugly they become.   Remember the fleabaggers in Wisconsin who bolted for Illinois when they were crushed in the election?   Yup, it is THAT exact level of despair amid the closed circle types of left-wing politicos we are about to witness.

In her opening performance in front of a packed audience at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C., singer Mary J. Blige began a rendition of her hit song by shouting out to the President.  However, the shout out sounded a bit strange given the nature of presidential campaigns.

Before performing her song, “Family Affair,” Blige asked the audience to stand up. She then shouted to the enthusiastic crowd, “Lets get it crunk for President Obama!” The crowd cheered and began dancing.  (err, ok) (more…)

Is this leading from behind?

It’s definitely bass-ackwards.  No wonder Mayor Villaraigosa was dumbstruck with prog-pocrisy.   Stuck between a rock and the “proverbial” hard-place.    So fast forward 15 hours and lookie what the State department has to say following the party platform debacle:

The State Department today again refused to name the capital of Israel, even after being questioned by the press and even after the Democratic party (President Obama’s party) voted yesterday to add language to its platform stating that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel.

Here’s the remarkable exchange from today’s press briefing, with reporters and press secretary Patrick Ventrell: (more…)

You DO NOT need to be a body language expert to spot the protective “cover-up”. When you are in a hole, it’s generally best to stop digging. Blaming “others”, members of your own team, like Mayor Booker and Gov. Strickland, for the platform fiasco is only going to lead questioning folks to Booker and Strickland for a quote and response to for why they both choose to defy the administration policy.

….. and even that fawning media narrative is not going to be near enough to help them continue the farce.   The Bloom Is Off The Ruse – The Electorate Is Awake, and the Democrats are circling the drain; with or without making up their mind on “God” and “Jerusalem”.

But to afford the benefit of the doubt to a reader who just clicked into the discussion, here is a general punditry example essentially reflective of the echo-chambering, yet irrelevant, media:

Yeah, I know this (video) is after day #1, but blah, blah, blah, the same water-carrying conversation happened last with the swooning just directed at “Bubba The Savior”. Whatever. Really, his BS is not worth my typing effort to deconstruct. Besides, someone else already did it.

I really do believe that people can see through this farce now.

The reality is there is no Hope and definitely NO CHANGE. Except for the TV ratings which reflect the exact sentiment being described right here. (more…)

The GAO also confirm that the President does not have the right to change the rules about the work requirement, and they require the White House to submit a request to congress for permission prior to anything being allowed to take effect.  Eh, but what’s a little pesky thing called Truth got to do with a great series of lines…

So “The Bubba” lied again, well, I know no real shock n’ all, but he did lie in his speech…. again.
