The President of the United States was "caught" on camera the other day telling Democratic Party donors that Congressman Paul Ryan is the biggest hypocrite walking planet earth these days. My question is, "Why doesn't President Obama call him a hypocrite in public as well?" It is very evident that Ryan's budget is a farce meant to completely reverse the "New Deal," the most successful system of government anyone has presented to this country since the United States Constitution. And Ryan is a hypocrite because he voted for two wars that weren't paid for, tax cuts for the rich that weren't paid for, and a prescription drug bill that was never paid for.
Ryan is yammering on about fiscal responsibility when he has never shown any fiscal responsibility himself. Ryan is a joke and his budget is a joke, and Obama should say so. In fact, he did say so but not publicly. It is time for Obama to take the "kid gloves" off, and destroy the Republican Party. Call them "'un-American,' 'un-patriotic,' and 'anti-life.'" Don't fear Wall Street either. Corporate interests will come around when they realize you are the only game in town. FDR was able to shut conservatives out for fifty years. I say another fifty would do us a world of good.
You see, the difference between Democrats and Republicans when it comes to being caught by hidden microphones and cameras, is that the Republicans keep saying things they shouldn't, and the Democrats say things they should. For instance, when Scott Walker thinks that he is talking to one of the Koch brothers, and describes in detail how he wants to destroy teachers' lives, that is something you shouldn't be caught saying. But, when Barack Obama makes sense and a hidden microphone happens to catch him making sense, I don't think it is a negative politically for the President.
It was very heartwarming to see the labor movement in Wisconsin take the Tea Party on head-to-head. Now, in the Tea Party's defense, you don't really need teachers when the IQ of the people in your family wouldn't qualify any of you for public education anyway. In fact, before the 1920's, I think they simply euthanized people like Sarah Palin. I may be wrong about that. But, we need more of that. We should never have let the Tea Party gain the momentum that they did. It started with the health care bill and we ended up losing a public option. Then we lost seats in the House and Senate. Let's learn from our mistakes.
The problem is that liberals have been very lazy. Why did we let it get to this point? Why did we get so complacent? It is really difficult to expect the President to be a liberal leader when the Tea Party is placing three times the amount of pressure on Republican congressmen as we are placing on Democratic congressmen. Don't we understand that Corporate America has talked us into staying quiet? If I hear one more person tell me that their vote doesn't count, I am going to puke. Remember, when we have large turnouts Democrats win. When we have small turnouts Republicans win. It is that simple. The President will take reelection. Let's give him the liberal Congress he deserves. No more staying home on election day or voting for third party candidates. If the President has the votes to pass liberal policies, he will do it. In the end, we are actually the ones we were waiting for.
