Obama, Pelosi and Reid Math:

For some reason "The Central Committee" somehow believe that 40 Republicans are somehow more powerful than 58 Democrats. In their eyes 177 Republicans are somehow a majority and 256 Democrats make up the minority in the House of Representatives. How else would you explain their incessant accusations that the Republicans in the House and Senate are keeping them from realizing their agenda? Newsflash to the 3 Clueless Clods... There aren't enough Republicans to be so much s a speed bump for any legislation. If you want to know why you aren't getting legislation crammed through quicker than Pelosi to a BoTox appointment, you need to ask yourselves why the DEMOCRATS aren't falling fot it.

If you disagree with the party, it is easy to defame them. The bottom line here is Republican, Democrat, Whig, or Tory you cannot trust any of these snakes in office. I hate the fact that since Barack Obama got in office, all of a sudden our government is "so corrupt," as now it is racism that fuels this sentiment, BOTTOM LINE. The fact of the matter is our government has always been corrupted since it's inception but as long as a black man wasn't head of state, most people had nothing to say. Either way we are still dealing with snakes in office, all parties, and they are all motivated by capital gains and not the upliftment of our citizens. Until everyone realizes that and stops all the racist rhetoric. We are all doomed to fall for whatever plans they have in store for us. As I have said in the past, I am happy we finally got past that barrier and elected an African American into office but I trust him just as much as I trusted all the presidents of past times, which is NONE AT ALL.. Same goes for the Republican and Democratic parties. These people do not have our best interests at heart and until our government is truly ran by the people it will always be corrupt.

Well if they keep saying that, what it seems to me is that they are saying "we want the whole house and senate to be one hundred percent Democrats because we do not want any opposition to our rule," and then America would be on the way to be a Communist or Facist country (although I fail to see any difference.) The trouble is that those 177 Republicans are just enough to get the Democrats who have sense and do not go for everything that Obama, Pelosi, and Reid want, to think for themselves. So even if they are not in the majority and do not have a chance in he!!, they get those other Democrats to think that perhaps Pelosi does not have it altogether and they could do it better.

I definitely won't say all Democrats, but at least most liberals in the political arena--and this includes celebrities and pundits who enter into the arena under the banner of moral authority--truly feel as if even ONE Republican or conservative or even non-liberal is TOO much for the face of this Earth, much less the United States, and especially in office! Now, I'm not so naive to think that it wouldn't be the other way around if Republicans had an 8:1 share of the media or a large majority in Congress or 20:1 representation in the public realm (meaning celebrities and other windbags), but they do not and have not for a long, long time. So, I guess, that's moot. In the mainstream, it's a liberal world and all opposers are in the way. Of course they catch the blame, and the hangers-on of all things liberal are more than happy to join in and blame the other side too. This is my theory on it: Even some more liberal politicians hit their knees and give thanks that some Democrats are having second thoughts about some of these pushed-through-at-breakneck-speeds policies. For them, it's the best of both worlds. Because I really think some liberals don't believe all the tripe they push, it means they get to avoid enacting dangerous policy, but they also get to appear to want to, so they keep their wacko voting base. Politics at its finest.
