Supposedly, there is finally an agreement on the debt ceiling. What a relief! I can't tell you how upsetting this has all been to me. I have been on the edge of my seat and it's been the only thing that I could think about for days. This morning, I actually had my doctor give me two-day prescriptions of Prozac and Valium just to get me through to the end of August 2nd, when I hoped it was all over. The stress was killing me.
He didn't even know what the fuss was, did he?
Not a clue.
Okay, so I didn't give a rat's ass about the latest charade. Today, when I saw that there was an agreement and they were going to vote on it tonight, I decided to read a couple of articles to see what the big deal was all about.
The biggest deals of the debt-ceiling farce have nothing to do with debt or ceilings, oddly enough. There seems to be two very big take-aways from the whole flapdoodle:
- The Tea Party has too much powerand are big bullies [pout]
- Obama is a sell-out pussy
It's odd, at least to me, to think that the Tea Party has too much power. I mean, Democrats or Republicans have had too much power, taking their turns, forever. I think it just pisses both sides off that there is now a third party involved. When Democrats or Republicans have too much power, it's called an advantage. When the Tea Party has too much power (do they really?), it's more like:
"'. . . the tea party Republicans are a noisy and effective protest movement, they are unfit for governing,' said Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md."
What an odd thing to say. In order to be one of the rulers in this country, you have to be willing to use violence and the threat of violence against 300 million people (and the rest of the world) to force them to do what you want them to do. Essentially, you have to be a sociopath.
Is that something you put on a resume?
I think it's just implicitly understood.
Tia and I were talking about the government the other day and this topic came up. The least moral people in the country are the rulers. The most moral people in the country would never stay in office.
That means that Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md. is unfit for governing as are the rest of his villainous friends and pretend Neo-Con foes.
Maybe having a third party cuts into his bribe money. However, if the Tea Party is able to get strong enough to get some serious remuneration for their votes, that would make them fit for governing.
Maybe he's pissed that he's not as powerful.
Kicked his power-mongering trike into the ditch?
As for Obama, I'm not sure what can be said here. The fact that his job title is "Puppet-bitch" pretty much does make him a pussy. HOWEVER! He's not supposed to look like a big wuss when facing off against a bunch of miscreant protesting freshman representatives. He's supposed to stand up to them and pretend like he has a backbone.
Or at least a shark, no bones but lots of teeth!
He could even do a promo for shark week on TV.
The problem is that this was a game of chicken and the Tea Party pretty much ripped off the steering wheel and duct-taped their feet to the accelerator of their careening vote vehicle. If the United States defaults, Obama the shark gets all of his teeth knocked out.
So, he put his tail between his legs and pissed off his base again (still? In perpetuity? As expected?).
Sharks have legs?
As much as you have brains.
I think it's important to remember these words of wisdom about the bullies and the pussy:
"Except for a recently appointed senator from Nevada, every member of Congress got there the same way: American voters elected them."
These are the people that American voters have chosen to represent them in their Representative Corporate Oligarchy. People who are complaining that the Tea Party is stronger than Obama should have voted in someone stronger. Hillary probably has bigger balls. Maybe they should have gone with her. They chose Mr. Hopey-Changey and if there's a lesson for democrats to learn from this whole fear-mongering debt-ceiling dramatization, it's this:
When choosing which sociopath is going to represent you, it's best to go with the person that comes off as the most psychotic.
