"Abortion is not Healthcare"

Jobs, jobs, jobs is the GOP mantra, at least in the House of Representatives. Yet if that is the case, why does the GOP spend so much time on abortion restrictions? Because they know that abortion restrictions please their base. They also know that the election in November will hinge in large part on the direction of the economy. Therefore, we can look for no actions on their part to stimulate job growth before November. A booming economy will help Barack‘s re-election, while continuing stagnation or slow growth will help Mitt Romney.

The author of the Wild Bill for America videos has just relocated from Florida to an Anchorage, Alaska suburb. This morning, another conservative blog publisher has intimated a move to Alaska if President Obama is re-elected. Do you suppose that they do not know that Alaska became a state in 1959?

The GOP has been concocting phony scandals about the Obama administration to divert voter and media attention from their obstructions. Yesterday in that tradition, Mitt Romney showed up without advance warning at the closed Solyndra factory in Fremont, California, where he repeated the GOP standard line and lies. Solyndra manufactured solar panels and could not compete with a cheaper product from China. Big Oil and other sponsors of the GOP do not want competitors from green energy to succeed, at least not in the US.

Fast and Furious was a Justice Dept. operation designed to discover the supply chain of weapons from the US to the Mexican drug cartels. The Justice Dept. lost track of some of the guns, and the GOP in Congress has been threatening to impeach Eric Holder because of that. Recently the GOP in the House has decided to drop any action against Attorney General Holder. At some point in this campaign, we can expect to see Mitt on the US-Mexico border talking about Fast and Furious. What he will say about undocumented aliens crossing our southern border is anyone’s guess.

Donald Trump is correct when he says that there are millions of birthers. Judging from the postings on conservative websites, I must admit birtherism is widely held, unfortunately. Many who are opposed to Barack Obama as president hold that view and will not accept ANY proof to the contrary. No logic will penetrate the mindset of a birther; no evidence is sufficient or true. If a proof can be faked, they believe it has been. So Donald trump is correct when he says that there are many birthers. He is incorrect when he lends his support to their fantasy.

We know that Mitt likes to fire people; he did a lot of that at Bain and he told us so. Yesterday, he attended a fund-raiser hosted by another famous person who fires on network TV each week, Donald Trump. Tonight Mitt will attend another fund-raiser in California hosted by Meg Whitman, who ran for governor of California and lost big. She too learned her trade at Bain and recently announced layoffs at Hewlett-Packard of 27,000. That’s how Mitt and friends make money and keep it, they fire people who work for a living and they hire lobbyists to craft tax laws in their favor. We all should be so fortunate.
