3 reasons why the Republican’s won’t win the White House…

Rush is reason #1 that the Republican’s won’t win the White House. In these polarizing times, the middle is what will win help keep Republicans from winning the White House.  

They cried out that she is a “public figure” and that she has lost all protections because she wanted to speak out, and yet they refused to let her because of what she would say.

They started a smear campaign, like plenty other ones done in the past, looking for an ex-boyfriend, an ex-girlfriend, something to smear her like they have smeared others in the past.

They looked to their spiritual and holiest of leaders to tear her down, to Swift Boat her,  like they did to John Kerry, (what a brilliant campaign that was). He said that she was a slut, and that she deserved it. He called her a whore, and that she deserved it. He wanted video posted of her having sex. If he was going to pay for it, he was going to get something out of it

What kind of man does this?

A bully, that’s who, Limbaugh’s hate has no true boundaries because it can’t.  His ultimate goal is simply to rile up leaning on the right Republicans to vote. A man who has more money than sense, a man that once said:

“Too many whites are getting away with drug use…Too many whites are getting away with drug sales…The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them, and send them up the river, too.”

Unless the white man is you Rush. Then you plead out because of the money that you do have. Yup, you dodged the draft, because you didn’t want to go to Vietnam. You believe in the marriage, yet you’ve been divorced three times.

The current group of Republican candidates is reason # 2 why the Republican’s won’t win the White House.

As each day tickets by the Republican electorate has the ability to choose the one that will represent them to rally them back to take back the White House.

And yet, they don’t care.

With every caucus and primary, a smaller percentage of the core shows up, totally unhappy with the current crop of right wingers.

The old timers, the one who sit back and say that because a member has served his time and does his duty, have determined that no matter what happens Mitt Romney will be their banner bearer.

And yet Mitt Romney is about as electable as Michael Dukakis.

Yup, I said it. I brought out the last time the Dems brought out a standard bearer that absolutely had no chance of winning. Mitt Romney has no chance of winning. All of these missteps will be put front and center in the general campaign.

I could bring up the lines how he likes “firing people” but does anyone remember this Mittdoozie: 

“Her positions are not terribly relevant to my campaign.” – Mitt Romney May 10^th, 2007
Yup, that was the candidate talking about his OWN WIFE, after she made a contribution to Planned Parenthood.

Gingrich has more wives than Rush and will fold his campaign up after Super Tuesday.

I like Ron Paul for his domestic plans, but his foreign policy is somewhere between drooling old man and the man who runs down the old folks home without pants & underwear.

And Santorium, I just want to hug him and just look into his eyes and tell him that he is still made of wood and he would have to pray real hard for him to be a real boy. He couldn’t buy a clue.

Show me as an independent, that I could see , a reason that any of these four candidates would realistically win the White House, show me that they have my varied views in mind, and I and other moderates will come out voting for them like we voted for W and Clinton (the first time). Give me a reason.

The electoral map is reason #3 why the Republican’s won’t win the White House.

Obama will win the liberal coasts and the rust belt, while the Republican nominee will win the heartland.  There isn’t a roadmap out there where they can switch enough states to win.

Final March prediction: Obama 292 Republican 246 and 4 more years will happen.

 The better question since we know through polarization of the Republican party, through the lack of a quality candidate and a tough electoral map the Republican’s won’t win the 2012 presidential election, is this:

Who will run on BOTH sides in 2016. That is if the end of the world doesn’t happen…

February Letter to Joanna

Dear Joanna,

Thank you for your strength when lesser people try and tear me down. Thank you for your love when my heart is hurting. Thank you for being a part of my life. I feel the end of my favorite time is coming. I will mourn the loss of it as a part of my life but I will look forward to the next challenge.

I can not win the battles that I want to win but I have certainly won your heart. I hope that with every day that I can rewin your heart, keeping our love strong.

I’ve made many mistakes in my life, but I can tell you that  every day with you is the greatest. I start each day looking to the challenges that we face and yet no matter what land mines are placed in front of us, you guide me as I guide you.

Our strength is boundless , our love is incredible.

I love you more and more each day.

Your husband.

Why I hate valentines day and I miss my brother.

This is my strength. This is my soul. This was my brother.

Tonight as I tossed and turned in my sleep I remember why I wished Joanna was here tonight. I can never sleep the night before your birthday. I always remember how you once told me, “Stop letting the fuckers get you down.” I’ve shed a majority of the weak links in my life. You told me that you were proud of me because I went to St. Louis to play in that poker tournament. Even though I was disappointed even though I final tabled it, you were proud of me for nutting up and just going. You kept me honest, and was fair to me. Even though I think your good heart was taken advantage of, you still loved those who betrayed you. That’s why you will always have a place in my heart and that’s why I still give my heart to those who need it.

Though you are no longer on this earth, I feel you touch my heart and soul each day. I am here for a higher purpose and I hope you will guide me to it. It’s been six years. And it hasn’t been an easy six.

Joanna asks me about stories about us and I bring up the days where we both cried and we were both strong. We’d play golf in a dust storm just so we could spend time together. Many people have asked me why I have the tile in my bathroom & kitchen and if I would change it. I told them to fuck off and I mean it. Those were the last things we did together. Though I watched as you worked using the skills that you had learned. Then you came up to the radio station to watch me work. We were both in awe of each other. I remember when you got up on the desk to sign the ceiling tile surrounded by radio talent who had signed before. You didn’t understand the pride the ratings meant to me, but you wanted to leave your mark. You found a blank tile and signed it :

I Love You Brother – Patman

I still have that ceiling tile in my office and it will go home with me when I leave. Not because I need the ceiling tile but because it is a link to you.

I’ve been strong when I once was weak. I’ve cried when once I hid my feelings. Nothing ever changes but yet it did. I don’t mourn your death, I don’t mourn your loss. I mourn not hearing your voice. I mourn not playing golf with you. I mourn talking poker and drinking Irish Whisky with you. I mourn a lot of things. But I see stars shining and I know you are there.

There are days where I wish I could be next to you, telling stories and calling bullshit on you as you have done so for me. But I guess I have more work on this earth.

Today would have been your 39th birthday and I would have given you shit all day. I can still hear you say “I can still take you old man.”

I miss you Patrick.  Happy Birthday Brother!

Love,

Your Big Brother,

Sean

Too busy to answer

I’m part of a group of individuals who support something.

Recently on the non official FB group, one individual has found a way to isolate everyone around. Problems of the group include egos, fear and lack of information

Another group of people I know have become the most self destructive group ever. Once again it’s a combination of ego, fear and self importance.

I left both groups because there are more important things in my life than drama. I have two wonderful kids, a WONDERFUL wife and a job, that even though it has drama, understands me for who I am and lets me succeed.

Today I’ve been given two e-mails one from each group asking me “Where have you been, we miss you!” Read more…

The glass…

Optimists says the glass is half full.
Pessimists says that it is half empty.
Scientists notes that 8 oz are left in an 16oz glass.
Realists note that if they are thirsty, there is water to drink.
Economists want to determine the costs associated with the water.
