Other Important Issues and News

In case you haven’t surmised it already the GOP brand is taking a beating pretty
much everywhere in America. In the latest primaries (indiana and North Carolina) John McCain garnered just 75 perecent of the vote of loyal Republicans, even as the already
designated GOP nominee, Mike Huckabee and Ron Paul divided up the rest.

So in effect this is saying there are GOP supporters that WON’T vote for John McCain
in November, and would perhaps stay home… or even vote for Obama. All of which bodes very badly for the GOP brand.

Not only to mention that ANY party to have a mjorioty needs independant voters to support them, and the indy’s are fleeing the GOP like lemmings this year.

To put it in perspective read the following…

Losses in two recent special elections combined with prospects for a tough contest next week sent House Republicans scrambling for change — both in words and deeds.

Minority Leader John A. Boehner told his caucus behind closed doors Tuesday that Americans won’t vote for Republicans until they fix their “brand” and convince voters they will fix Washington, according to members who were present

He told reporters that a campaign message for the caucus would be developed in the next few weeks.

“I think it’s clear this election is about change,” Boehner said. “If we’re going to do well in this election, if we’re going to win back our majority, we have to prove to people that we are in fact the agents of change.”

“I’ve been saying it for a year and a half,” Boehner told his colleagues, according to the Ohio Republican’s written talking points and those inside the room. “Some of you have been listening. Others I’m not so sure about.”

Boehner cited the need to stick with presumed presidential nominee Arizona Sen. John McCain and aggressively criticize Speaker Nancy Pelosi , D-Calif.

House Republicans will hold a rally with President Bush on Wednesday morning, with all 199 members invited to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. to show solidarity with the president, according to GOP sources.

WOW! Nice agenda Mr. Boehner, going for more of the same instead of anything remotely like REAL CHANGE….

From 2001 to 2006 the GOP had it’s way with everything in Washington DC, and what they did was gut our economy, raise the national debt to unheard of levels, and get us into a war that seems to have no plan to ever end, and make the top ten percent of Americans richer than their wildest dreams, all while working class Americans saw their paychecks buy less and less, and their homes get foreclosed on.

If there is a poster boy for what’s WRONG in Washington DC these days it is John Boehner,
Mr. Clueless himself.

Well except for the local version, located in Omaha which blogs as Street Sweeper on

Which is the primary kool aid drinking, head in the sand site for those that are so divorced from reality they still think GWB and his cronies are actually making things better.

Any blog that touts Lee Terry or Mike Johanns as effective politicians is highly suspect to using the BS rule on….. Since neither of them has done a damn thing in DC except draw a paycheck and breathe for their entire time in DC.

That’s ok, sweeper, you and all your simple / single minded buddies that post there, keep at it, while your agenda, and your brand slowly dies.

America has problems and they need to be addressed and worked on, and since you can’t even TALK about them, let alone come up with a plan to fix things, the rest of your neighbors will just move on without you….

It is time to get rid of politicians that are going to give us, “more of the same"….

Ya Think?
