The ABC’s of Why NOT to Vote for Romney in 2012

Let's hope this is "Mitt" Romney's LAST Presidential campaign.

You've been running for decades dude,

so listen to Petty please and

"Don't Come Around Here" no more!!!

First and foremost, let’s make one thing clear; the Republithievin’ one percenters who want to control the global economy and put a noose around the poor and middle class (Romney was born into a rich family, his old man was a wealthy lawyer, governor and wound up a Nixon lackey in that criminal RepubiCon’s cabinet after HIS own egotistical drive for the powers of the presidency failed) have nominated a dude who thinks having his wifey and kids watch as he crams a big ol’ luvvin’ dog into a tiny crate and strappin’ it onto the roof of a station wagon then headin’ up the highway from Boston to Canada is OK!!! As if that wasn’t bad enough, this loser had one of his kids shout from the back seat, during what is at least a half day drive (I lived in Boston and have driven to Canada, so I know from whence I speak) at highway speeds (55-65 mph at a minimum)—this kid shouts out to “Mitt” that there is brown liquid coming down the back window of the vehicle.

It turns out the dog had to poop, was apparently so scared outa his wits that he was gonna fly off the car that he had a case of diarrhea!!! OMG! So what does this ‘awesome’ and ‘humanitarian’ future “Presidential Contender” decide??? Does he clean up the dog, crate and car and then allow the family’s beloved pooch to ride with the kids? Oh no! This baboon-like fool decides to do what is often described as a perfect definition of insanity: Repeating the same mistake over and over, and expecting different results. He just once again planted this poor pooch back into the crate and onto the top of the speeding car again after wiping off his investment (the station wagon) where the dog remained for the remainder of the trip to Canada! OMG! AND THIS IS ALL THE REPUBLITHIEVES CAN COME UP WITH???

This may seem a small morsel of a matter in a presidential candidate, but figure this:

1)   What kind of morality does this guy have that would allow him to treat a defenseless canine in this manner (and ifya think morality doesn’t matter, then you never lived through the Watergate phenom and Nixon’s pathetic resignation after a few years of moral crisis, or the absurdity of the Clinton impeachment by another of the RepubliCon’s “Presidential Contenders” this year for marital infidelity with Monica Lewinsky while “Speaker” Newt Gingrich was carrying on the latest of a series of lifelong marital infidelities, during his marriage number two of three total thus far)??? It matters, and you just know that ifya do vote for this fool, he’s bound to have scandal after scandal for immorality (we’ll talk about his fiscal immorality, greed and viciousness in business affairs later on when we discuss what would definitely be the ‘Bain of America’s existence” if Romney is elected, especially knowing how immorally he ran a financial outfit called Bain Capital).

2)   Never mind his willingness to damage a wonderful pooch, what about his kids? Dontcha think that this ride to Canada with this poor dog suffering this abuse was just a bit traumatic for them??? What kind of values do you think he was instilling in them doing such things, and do ya think he even cared?

3)   He’s an animal abuser under Massachusetts law, and a criminal who was never prosecuted thereby. That happens when you’re rich and buy the Governor’s office having never held elective office before.

4)   If he can treat his own dog this way, what the Hell is he gonna be doing to the environment if he doesn’t give a hoot about owls, wolves, foxes, etc. like he doesn’t his own pets??? He sure isn’t gonna be any Teddy Roosevelt, that’s for darned sure!!!

5)   And, yes, I’ll say it, where was wifey in this whole deal?? That matters too. She’s getting off easy on this one. She was an equal partner in it and would have also been prosecuted as an animal abuser if she had my income or yours!

So there you have it, if you want to elect a proven anti-animal candidate who has advocated policies which would devastate wild animals as well because his morality says money is all that matters, then vote for “Mitt!” This fool has bought in to the absurd notions of that idiotic half-Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, of “Drill baby drill,” without concern for environmental matters at all. He has claimed that President Obama’s caution with the massive trans-continental  Keystone Pipeline proposal isn’t caution, but opposition. That’s just one of Mitt’s lies. He lies a lot, btw. Mitt Romney IS a liar (just one more example: he claimed repeatedly after passing a universal Obamacare-like health care bill long before our awesome incumbent took office that he never endorsed the Massachusetts plan for the entire nation—and yet he’s on tape saying so repeatedly before and during the debate over Barack’s historic legislative and now judicial achievement—imagine persuading THIS court to back his plan—what a GREAT President we DO have, btw), a proven fact. More morality problems. A known liar in PUBLIC, so just imagine how this dude is in private! OMG!

Teddy Roosevelt was a wonderful conservationist, a Republican in the great tradition of American Conservatism based on that Teddy ‘conservation’ concept. Mitt has no opinions on anything but money and has only bad ideas there (more on that shortly). But global warming is real, we ARE spewing way too much smoke into this thin layer of gas we call the atmosphere which blankets this wonderful blue marble we call Earth and we NEED Barack back in office so he can begin his stated plans to prioritize environmental concerns in his second term. The Republithieves who have taken over the old Conservative party are not ‘Conservative’ in the old Republican tradition at all. The idiotic Palinazoic Tea Party extremists who control the party, the current House Speaker, and Mitt Romney will kill countless species and do immeasurable damage to the environment by giving companies like BP (who gave us the gift of that ongoing daytime soap opera of the Gulf Oil Spill which lasted months, killing nearly a dozen workers, spewing millions of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico; while the company had NO clue how to stop the leak because they were UNregulated up to then—Barack has since helped fix that—and we were treated to the greedy face of British national “wayward” Tony Hayward, BP’s CEO on the news every day talking trash). So ifya liked that BP oil spill, vote for “Mitt,” because he’s all about deregulating all industries, BP included!!!

Before I go on, let me list a few of the reasons TO vote for Barack. I’ve posted my endorsement elsewhere on this magnum opus of political literature known as Unabashed Left, but here are a few reasons TO vote for him.

1)   He’s a moral guy. NOBODY at all has questioned this wonderful father, husband, and former community worker, State Senator for 10 years and former U.S. Senator’s integrity in ANY serious way whatsoever. He’s a good guy and folks like him because he’s personable, moral and upright(Romney has a hard time with people for exactly the opposite reasons). He’s never strapped any critter to the top of any vehicle.

2)  Reversing 30 months of job losses with three solid years of job gains! It was just three years ago we HAD a Republithief in office ifya remember. His name was GEORGE W. BUSH! Romney’s surrounded himself with all the same Bush people for advice on the economy and defense. DON’T FORGET THAT BUSH AND THE REPUBLITHIEVES BROUGHT ON ‘THE GREAT RECESSION’ JUST THREE YEARS AGO, THE BANKING CRISIS, BERNIE MADOFF, THE HOUSING FORECLOSURE PANDEMIC, LAUNCHED AN IRRELEVANT WAR IN IRAQ KILLING THOUSANDS AND RESULTING IN AN UNIMAGINABLE FEDERAL DEFICIT AND DEBT!

3)  Focusing on the proper target, using drones and ELIMINATING THE MENACE OF OSAMA BIN LADEN FOREVER WITHOUT THE LOSS OF A SINGLE AMERICAN LIFE!

4)  ELIMINATING THE decades-long Libyan MENACE OF MUAMAR QADDAFI WITHOUT THE LOSS OF A SINGLE AMERICAN LIFE!

5)  Following the disgrace of America’s reputation during the Bush years (Dubya ended his Presidency not only with the lowest poll numbers among Americans, even our allies despised the man by the time he ruined the global economy and launched wars in the Mideast, south Asia and encouraged a military tyrant named Pervez Musharraf to develop a nuke stockpile to point at its arch enemy and our friend, India) I’M PROUD TO HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO HAS WON THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE EARLY IN HIS VERY FIRST TERM and has restored America’s integrity world-wide! YES WE CAN, indeed.

6)  Despite a Congress whose Republithievin’ leadership has called itself the party of “Hell NO!” --that was their idea of a Speaker, John Boehner—who would likely continue if you elect Romney, and a Senate leader who said as soon as Barack won the office in 2008 that his goal was not to pass good legislation, but to beat Mr. Obama in 2012—PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS ACHIEVED MORE LEGISLATIVELY THAN ANY PRESIDENT IN MY LIFETIME IN SHORT ORDER. PASSAGE OF THE $750 BILLION STIMULUS BILL; EQUAL PAY FOR WOMEN BY PASSING THE LILLIAN LEDBETTER ACT; PASSAGE OF THE FIRST-EVER STRATEGIC ARMS REDUCTION TREATY WITH RUSSIA; NOT TO MENTION HIS GREATEST DOMESTIC ACCOMPLISHMENT THUS FAR, AND THE MOST IMPORTANT PIECE OF LEGISLATION SINCE SOCIAL SECURITY WAS CREATED, THE PINNACLE OF LEGISLATIVE WORK IN MY LIFETIME IS BARACK’S HEALTH CARE REFORM ACT OF 2010!  YIPPEE!!! YES WE CAN, INDEED, DEMOCRATIC BASE! AND HE DID SUCCEED IN PERSUADING JOHN ROBERTS OF ALL FOLKS TOO, SO YOU INDEPENDENTS AND REPUBLICANS OUGHT TO TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT THIS SKINNY GUY FROM CHICAGO AND VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA IN 2012 INDEEDY!

7)  And how about how Barack handled that START negotiation with that problem guy we have to deal with in Russia, Vladimir Putin. He not only successfully negotiated the first Reduction in nuclear arms with him and forced him to agree to US inspections of their nuclear sites, he convinced the Senate to pass the bill despite idiotic Republican opposition (something that has never before happened in nuclear arms negotiations—Nixon AND Ford both signed nuclear treaties—both Republicans and historically these treaties  have been ratified easily—Mittens has advisers in this area who are the exact same people who convinced Dubya upon his first meeting with the fool Putin after gazing into his eyes at a public press conference that this was his “friend” and a guy he could “trust!” It was their own icon, Ronald Ray-Gun, who said, regarding nuclear negotiations “Trust, but verify.” In other words, don’t ‘trust’ those KGB’ers like Putin AT all!

8)  ENDING DON’T ASK DON’T TELL, and inaugurating the era of equality for all in the uniformed military after a few centuries of obscene discrimination of all sorts! At this juncture I’m going to also state the obvious, Barack is such an inspirational leader that he managed in 2008; against the strongest candidate the Democrats have had in a VERY long time who happened to be a woman (whom he now has befriended and wisely chose as the Secretary of State responsible for that START treaty and MUCH more) and as a black citizen in a nation which, perhaps aside from South Africa, has had the worst history of enslavement, Civil War, riots, an entire Civil Rights Movement, and the necessity to find a prophetic leader like Reverend King, because of racism against black people, unimaginably got elected to the VERY highest office in the land, and is, very likely, the most powerful man ever of his race (NOT that race matters, but because of the discrimination against those of color, his accomplishments have brought HOPE and CHANGE to millions in the U.S. and to the globe) in world history, and working for good. PERIOD. We all felt it that first Tuesday of November almost 4 years ago when he pulled off his amazing electoral victory! Enuff said on that! Just wow, Barack. Congratulations dude! Phew! Thank God, and thank YOU Barack!

9)  President Barack Obama is a bright, young, charismatic leader who has inspired the nation! He not only graduated from the highest ranked law school in the nation, he graduated at the top of that class and edited the Harvard Law Review! Then the future President became a Professor of Law at the highly prestigious University of Chicago School of Law! His ability to make the right decision and his self-confidence are incredible to witness. When all the facts were in on the Intel that indicated that Osama Bin Laden was residing in that compound outside the Pakistani capital, he faced decisions. Either trust the Intel that said he might not be there and do nothing was one option. He could have bombed and had collateral damage possibilities, and not had the opportunity to verify Bin Laden’s demise. Or he could have gone with the approach taken and gone in with the helicopters and the stealthy raid in the dark that succeeded. He was pressured by Intel people and his brass to bomb. Barack went against heavy pressure, and you sure can see that pressure on his face in that famous situation room photo. As usual, he was RIGHT! I want to go with THAT guy! And don’t forget that when General McChrystal was badmouthing him and his policies, this COMMANDER-In-Chief immediately called McChrystal back to Washington and his resignation was in that week, his boss (General Petraeus) demoted and sent back to the field in Afghanistan and the military was clearly put on notice just WHO was in charge (perhaps the first president to do so as dramatically since FDR!). Not to mention, what an inspiration this guy is when he gets on a podium and gives a speech. He has a lot to say and says it so that your spine tingles! Just ask anyone who saw his keynote speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention or his inaugural before hundreds of thousands in 2008!

10) His choice of wives. Michelle Obama is another darned good reason to vote for Barack! If you don’t think first ladies matter, take a good hard look at how two other Democratic First Ladies have affected our history for the common good:  Eleanor Roosevelt and former First Lady, former New York U.S. Senator, former Presidential candidate (and most successful female presidential candidate ever!) and Barack’s Secretary of State Hillary Rodham-Clinton. Michelle has strong opinions, articulates them well, represents the nation well, and has taken charge on a really rough issue to deal with, childhood obesity. She has compassion, style, beauty and grace and I, for one, am proud to have her at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue!

Do NOT doubt that supporters of Romney intend War with Iran by

putting out provocative propaganda such as this!

OMG!!!

Karl Rove and his lackeys who created the war in Iraq

are hard at work hiding the money that produces this

kind of trash with the help of the current Supreme Court (Citizens United

has corrupted our nation like never before, and the Republican-

led Robert's Court is at fault!

Ok, back to Romney. Cheeeze! After all that, do I really have to??? Romney has been running his egotistical bid for president for nearly a decade now. He only served one term as Governor of Mass. only to eventually launch his presidential bid—all his confidants say so. He has a complex because his father, George Romney ran in the primaries in 1968 against Nixon and lost by putting his foot in his mouth. This is widely known to be the reason that Mittens now will say anything he thinks people want to hear, and avoids speaking off text because he has recollections of his father’s SNAFU.  EXCEPT for the health care bill which he THEN supported and now wants to repeal against the Congress’ and the Supreme Court’s will (saying what others want him to and taking any position necessary to get elected is this dude’s hallmark), Romney was a poor Governor by any stretch of the imagination. He says he didn’t raise taxes and never would, but he just called them ‘fees’ instead and turned the state into what was being called at the time Taxachussettes. And despite this he left the state in a massive fiscal dilemma with more debt than ever.

While Barack was choosing to help the poor and working with people in Chicago, this Mitt guy was taking the money he inherited from his folks and bought into this outfit with some other sleazy investors and created this financial thing called “Bain Capital.” It’s one of those financial outfits which oughta be illegal, the exact kind of greedy outfit which caused the housing foreclosures, the banking scandals and bailout by Bush, and people like Bernie Madoff getting away with billion dollar robberies with keyboards instead of guns. That’s how Mitt Romney became a quarter-billionaire. He’d buy up companies, sell off assets shut them down, fire the employees, sell the outfits and make a huge profit off the scheme. They did a few decent things, but for the most part they left thousands of folks having lost their lifetime work, communities without their largest employers, investors with nothing to show for their money and lots of angry people who you’ll hear from during the campaign. During the Republithief primary running for president THIS YEAR he even had the audacity to say “I LIKE FIRING PEOPLE.” This is NOT a guy who gives a hootin’ holler about creating jobs, his interest truly is in creating an economic environment beneficial to billionaires and future billionaires like him.

Romney wants to go back to EXACTLY the same formula which sucked hard-working middle-class folks 401-K’s down to nothing and put that money into the hands of the Wall Street greedsters; the DE-regulatory environment on Wall Street and in banking which would enable them to again start foreclosing on your houses; robbing your pensions and taking away your jobs! And just watch and see where his income goes if he’s elected. By law it theoretically has to go into a blind trust as president, but you know he’s going to have all his money, including millions he has in secret offshore accounts situated to benefit by his own policies. Talk about conflicts of interest!!! I predict that he WOULD be able to parlay his quarter billion into a billion by his first term, and if you look at his personal record you’d know that this is clearly an objective of his!

Aside from these matters of finance and wealth, as well as his personal ambition and neediness, Romney has NO views on other issues. So he’s surrounded by Bush people and the Palin/Tea Party extremists. Expect a war with Iran, huge deficits, tax hikes for you and cuts for him and his wealthy ‘investment professional’ colleagues who ‘like to fire people’ resulting huge job losses, and resulting deficits as they increase defense spending due to global instability under this incompetent boob. He lost the nomination in 2008 for very good reasons, but his millions made him a strong candidate. But even despite his personal stash of cash, he had a struggle getting his OWN nomination this year against a field of clownish candidates like cheating scandal Herman “999” Cain; Rick Santorum who lost his own last Senate re-election bid by EIGHTEEN POINTS; Newt Gingrich of all people led him at one point (Newt famously divorced to seriously ill wives telling them so on sickbeds, cheated repeatedly and got kicked out as speaker by his own party); wacky Michele Bachmann had a lead over him; and even the blathering idiot Donald Trump led him briefly!

There’s no reason to dig deep for the why as to the reason Romney had to struggle against this parade of fools for the nomination. He’s a VERY WEAK CANDIDATE  AND NOT QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT AT ALL, AND THE REPUBLICAN BASE KNOWS THAT; BUT MONEY TALKS IN THIS REPUBLICAN PARTY OF 2012 WHICH HAS BEEN CO OPTED BY BILLIONAIRES AND ASPIRING BILLIONAIRES LIKE ROMNEY, THE KOCH BROTHERS AND TRUMP!!! So here are the reasons NOT to vote for Romney in rapid fire order:

1)   He straps dogs onto the roof of station wagons and races down the highway all day with them that way, then puts them back up there after the poor pup has diarrhea for fear.

2)   He “likes to fire people.”

3)   He DID fire people, closed down companies, and destroyed communities with his personal greed and ambition while CEO of a questionable outfit called Bain Capital.

4)   In the process he acquired a quarter billion in assets, hesitates to reveal his own tax records, and has hidden overseas accounts.

5)   He lies, says whatever he thinks will get him elected because of his own personal ambition. He appears very much to be immoral, with no real world view except to help Romney out.

6)   His economic policies of tax cuts for the rich, more spending (on defense), the likelihood of overseas military conflicts, and deregulation for his pals on Wall Street could bring us into a depression and WILL bring on the worst deficit/debt situation in American history.

7)   His talk in foreign policy has shown that he is ignorant about it for the most part and he’s surrounded himself with the same Bush people who brought you 9/11; the unnecessary 10 year Iraq war killing thousands; the stalemated war in Afghanistan for 10 years; the failure to get Bin Laden or eliminate Al Qaeda; and the animosity of our OWN allies from Europe to Japan.

8)   He appears poised to deregulate industry which affects the environment, creating huge risks to the air we breathe, killing off wonderful and precious wildlife and despoiling the land. He is clearly incautious about such moves.

9)   He WILL be controlled by the people who had John McCain singing a psychologically twisted version of the Beach Boys’ song “Barbara-Ann” when he sang “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” as a sitting US Senator and Presidential candidate—the Republican party has been clear in its bellicose statements about Iran in recent years and a          WAR WITH IRAN IS INEVITABLE UNDER A SICK ROMNEY ADMINISTRATION. War with Iran would be unlike any we’ve fought since WW II since they have a strong and effective Army, Navy, and Air Force, close to nuclear capabilities and alliances in the region that would spark a likely holocaust, with Israel in a dubious quagmire and an unpredictable policy by their government and the unstable Arab regimes in the region! HOLY COW!

10)His personality simply appears unstable, reminds me of Nixon in many ways, he has problems relating to people, is awkward and has questionable motives and zero in the way of accomplishments in his public career making MITT ROMNEY UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY UNQUALIFIED TO SERVE AS PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

WE CONTINUE TO ENTHUSIASTICALLY ENDORSE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL, HISTORIC AND REMARKABLE PRESIDENT OF MY LIFETIME, POTENTIALLY ONE OF OUR GREATEST PRESIDENTS IN HISTORY, PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA FOR RE-ELECTION ON NOVEMBER 6^TH 2012—MAKE SURE YOU GET OUT AND VOTE AND GET EVERYONE ELSE OUT. THIS FOOL ROMNEY COULD CONCEIVABLY WIN—WE NEED BARACK. THE RIGHT MAN, AT THE RIGHT TIME!

My War Story-Lisa's Conviction: War is Over!

Angel Orange in battle with Red Dot!

War? What IS it good for? Yuckipoo! Bruce Springsteen sings it good!

Guess what? It’s me again. Lisa! Uncle UL is letting me use his page again to tell an amazin’ story about Uncle UL’s kitties, Angel Orange and Bluebelle the WonderCat. You’re just not gonna believe what happened!

Uncle UL has two beautiful kitties; Angel Orange is like a big orange fluffball. Even her eyes are orange, and her hair is super-long and super-soft. She’s a lap cat, and loves to sit in my lap whenever I go to see Uncle UL! She’s cute as can be! And beautiful? Wow! She’s like a walking…. a walking…. Hmmm… Who was that guy—the one who painted such pretty pictures and chopped his ear off cuz his girlfriend broke up with him? VINCENT!  That’s who! Angel is like a walking Vincent painting, she’s so beautiful.

And Bluebelle is all gray and cute as all get-go! Uncle UL sez he calls her a WonderCat cuz my other uncle found her in a wishing well in someone’s backyard. Her mother and father were wild cats, feral they’re called. So the fact that Bluebelle was found and saved is a Wonder! AND Bluebelle is also VERY curious, so that’s another reason he calls her a WonderCat.  Uncle UL sez he calls Angel ‘Angel Orange’ after a horrible chemical that the American government used as a weapon in Vietnam a bunch ‘o years ago called ‘Agent Orange.’ Uncle UL sez Agent Orange not only killed tons of jungle and poisoned people in Vietnam, Laos AND Cambodia, but it also poisoned our own soldiers! Yuckipoo! I DESPISE wars! Why anybody would wanna go killin’ people and torturing’ an’ (Uncle UL sez I can write this) even rape and burn people! OMG! So he sez that because she’s orange and just like an angel, so beautiful—that he thought that the super-sharp difference between a work of God’s art like Angel Orange and the horrible nightmare of Agent Orange was a good reminder to always do everything he can every day to end war. I think that’s a really good idear. Don’t tell him I said this, but Uncle UL comes up with some perty good idears, and has a lot ‘o opinions I really, really like! But ifya tell him it’ll probly go to his head. So shhhhhh on that one. OK??

So anyhow, whenever I go see Uncle UL I always like to play with Angel and Bluebelle. I play with them with a little fishing pole-like toy that has a mouse on the end of a string. They love that. That’s Bluebelle’s favorite! I always like to play “Red Dot” with ‘em too! That’s a little tiny red light that comes outa a little flashlight shaped like a mouse. It drives Bluebelle and Angel Orange curaaaazzzzyyyyy!!! Teehehehe! There’s pictures of ‘em goin’ at it on this page ifya looky there! THAT toy is Angel’s favorite and she’s always a lot better at it than Bluebelle and just luvs it!

I went over to Uncle UL’s about a week or so ago, and started playin’ Red Dot with both kitties and they were havin’ a blast! Uncle UL started takin’ pictures to show ‘em playin’ with Red Dot! He even took a picture of the toy so you’s can see that picture on this page, too, ifya looky see!

Now this time it all changed all of a sudden. It’s almost unbelievable what happened next! I wuz holdin’ the Red Dot steady between Angel and Bluebelle, and there was a standoff goin’ on. I always think that’s funny when I do that. But this time I did it for a REAL long time. All of a sudden the Red Dot started to shimmer and shiver all by itself without me movin’ it AT ALL!!! Ya wanna talk about creepy! Boy, did that sure give me the willies and then some! Phew!

It’s the next thing that happened that wuz amazin’ as all get-go for sure! That Red Dot went and split into two dots without me doin’ ANYTHING! I mean it! Cross my heart! And then each new Red Dot moved over, one towards Bluebelle and the other towards Angel! And you’ll never guess what happened next! Those two Red Dots went onto Bluebelle and Angel’s chests and WENT RIGHT INTO THEIR HEARTS!!! Then Bluebelle and Angel did sumthin’ neither Uncle UL or me ever saw ‘em do before. Both of ‘em rubbed up against each other like they do my own ankles when I’m givin’ ‘em tuna and then went and laid down totally EXHAUSTED!!

I tried and tried to get that Red Dot to work, but it wouldn’t work anymore. Uncle UL got another Red Dot toy out that he had, and tried it with Bluebelle and she just sorta petted it with her paw, and so did Angel. In fact they both looked like they LUVVED THE RED DOT NOW!!! And both Uncle UL and I think they do. He sez that ever since that night both of ‘em have been treating Red Dot exactly the same.

Now here’s what I’m figgerin’ happened. Believe you me, Bluebelle and Angel are chock full ‘o luv. You never saw two ‘o ennythin’ that’s more full ‘o luv. In fact Uncle UL sez that he really thinks that really is ALL they are—is just LUV!!! I think he’s right. So what I figger is that until I stopped the Red Dot for a REAL long time from goin’ crazy around the room and chasin’ them and vicey versie, everthing changed. Uncle UL agrees with me on this, and he’s perty good on this sorta thing. I told Uncle UL that until the Red Dot stopped for like 5 whole minutes without movin’ around, they weren’t worried that the Red Dot was mean and wanted to hurt one of the people in Uncle UL’s fambly (UL, Bluebelle and Angel). Becuz they are PURE luv, they were tryin’ to get Red Dot imaginin’ that Red Dot was out to get everbody in the house! OMG! They were SCARED ‘o Red Dot and Angel wuz worried for NO reason that Red Dot wanted to hurt Uncle UL, Bluebelle and her. And so did BLUEBELLE! Wow! Once I held Red Dot still that night, both Bluebelle and Angel had time to see that Red Dot didn’t want to hurt ‘em or me or Uncle UL at all, and once they knew that, then they could not only let Red Dot do whatever it wanted without chasin’ it anymore and tryin’ to wipe Red Dot out, they could LET RED DOT INTO THEIR HEARTS AND LUV THE RED DOT!!!!!!!! YIPPEEE!!! THE RED DOT WARS WERE OVER AND NOW THEY ARE BOTH HAPPIER AND AT PEACE! Their enemy was all in their imagination! And Uncle UL feels so bad that he was playin’ Red Dot for so long with ‘em and didn’t figger all that out! Phew! It’s not his fault! He didn’t know, it’s just that when I stopped it for a real long time Bluebelle and Angel were able to let LUV BRING PEACE.

Sumbuddy at Rolling Stone got it ALL WRONG! 

This is NOT the 362nd BEST song, it's THE best.

That John Lennon sure was smart!

ALL YA NEED IS LUV!!!!

Uncle UL and I both agree now that the only way to have real peace of enny kind is LUVVIN’ whoever it is you think you’re mad at, scared of, or who’s differnt than you are! So ifya get mad at somebody or sumthin’ like that, just LUV ‘em! Uncle UL sez that ifya believe somethin’ a WHOLE lot, then that’s called a conviction. This here is my conviction so I’m gonna write this here now in bold letters cuz I think our politishuns and Generals need to hear this! All the countries in the world need to wise up and use LUV not killin’ to make everbody get what they want ‘n need! That espeshally includes the UNITED STATES ‘O AMERICA for sure! I DO luv all you guys and women who run countries ‘n armies ‘n stuff, but for God’s sake and mine please finally unnerstand just one thing and one thing only—LOVE IS ALLYA NEED! ! ! ! !

THE END!

JUST FOR NOW! I’LL BE BACK.

UNTIL THEN LET’S

HUG, ‘N HUG, ‘N HUG!

BYE!

IN 2012 WE UNABASHEDLY ENDORSE BARACK OBAMA AS PRESIDENT OF THE USA! ! !

Without Reservation, Orleans' Said It Right,

President Barack Obama Absolutely Is

STILL THE  ONE!

We originally endorsed Barack Obama to a second term as U.S. President one year ago, and now we only have more reasons to enthusiastically support Barack's re-election with vigor, enthusiasm and excitement! Despite the absurd turn to the right of the opposition Republican party, largely in response to the popularity of a radio disk jockey named Rush Limbaugh, and their inane publicly stated goal (Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that his prime goal was not to advance any particular policy as the leader of the Senate Republicans, but to squash any re-election by the incumbent, all the way back in 2009--and the most incompetent House Speaker of all time, John Boehner, has been led by McConnell in this attempt), our President has led the nation since our endorsement to an end of the Iraq war, an end to the life of Bin Laden and of Muammar Qaddafi, continuing economic growth following the Republicans' "Great Recession" which was handed to Mr. Obama in January 2009, and even more. He has restored class and civility to the White House, I am proud to wake up in the morning knowing that Barack and Michelle represent our nation and he's been such a marvelous Head of State that the Nobel Prize committee recognized that by awarding him their extraordinarily coveted Peace Prize in 2009! I like that in an American Commander-in-Chief, and nobody was speaking in such glowing terms of the last Republican to hold the office!

Mr. Obama was uncontested in his bid for my Party's nomination for President this year because he has performed in a manner which is totally in keeping with the best values of the Democratic Party. What he's been able to accomplish in his short term of office, despite the Tea Bagging idiocy of the opposition, led by the likes of Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, is truly historic in every sense! One thing is for certain, that 200 years from now Barack Obama will be one of those Presidents that American kids know by name and are taught about in civics classes, and I'm proud to be a part of that history by helping to elect and now to re-elect him to the highest office in the land. Elsewhere I will publish a summary of the reasons why the Republican's choice to oppose Barack is worse than a straw man, and not worthy of bothering to drive or take a bus to the polling place in order to cast a ballot. Mittens Romney, by comparison to our amazing incumbent President Barack Obama is comparable to a home run contest between Babe Ruth and me, or a boxing match between Muhammad Ali, Joltin' Joe Frazier or George Foreman and your Unabashed correspondent. No contest at all. Romney is out of his league, as is the Republican Party altogether, because we happen to have at the helm of our Party and of the nation the most eminently qualified leader of my lifetime.  And we also happen to be blessed with an embarrassment of riches right now, in that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, NY Governor Andrew Cuomo, Florida US Representative Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, among others are VERY impressive Presidential candidates for 2016 and beyond!

So I am incredibly proud to endorse Barack for his second term; and grateful to him, to our wonderful First Lady Michelle Obama and to their beautiful young daughters for making the sacrifices necessary to run and serve not one, but two terms in the fish bowl that is the White House. We did it in 2008 despite all odds, and there is no doubt that in 2012 that YES WE CAN, AND YES WE WILL RE-ELECT PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA TO HIS SECOND FULL TERM OF OFFICE! THANK YOU, SIR, FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE AND WILL DO FOR ME AND FOR THE WORLD!

Unabashed Left unreservedly endorses President Barack Obama for a second term as leader of the nation. His accomplishments and that of his awesome administration, particularly Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and Vice President Joe Biden have been amazing, especially given the fact that they’ve only been in office for 29 months!



Right out of the starting gate the President navigated a $700 plus spending and tax-cut bill through Congress. The TARP measure has eliminated the Bush monthly unemployment increases and is bringing an end to the Republican Administration’s “Great Recession” in a steady and responsible manner. It is also providing education funding, provided for interstate competition for higher quality education nation-wide, provided for the handicapped, the less advantaged, the poor and for middle-class and small business investment incentives. And he got it through Congress, despite much opposition from some elements of his own party!


Right out of the starting gate he repaired U.S. relations with the rest of the world, in conjunction with the best Secretary of State in my memory, Mrs. Hillary Rodham-Clinton so well that he was awarded the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize in his first year of this Presidency, joining the likes of Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, and organizations such as Doctors Without Borders! ‘Freedom Fries’ are once again called French Fries in the White House and the silly game-playing with our own closest allies and the remainder of the community of nations is over!

Right out of the starting gate he carried through with his promise to draw down in Iraq, and 100,000 troops are out, the combat mission IS over, and we will essentially be out of that illegal war, started with lies by the oil rich Cheney/Bush/Halliburton crowd, as cleanly as humanly possible by December 31 this year. And in Afghanistan, General McChrystal is out, Petraeus demoted, and the State Dept. has won the turf war that the Defense Department had well in hand under the Republicans. With Secretary Clinton’s approbation, and that of Barack, Ambassador Richard Holbrooke has enabled the situation to evolve in such a manner that PEACE TALKS are ongoing between the corrupt Hamid Karzai Administration installed by the previous Republican regime in Washington, opposition forces including those we formerly referred to as the Mujahedeen when the foreign aggressor was the Soviet Union[not the U.S., as at present], moderate elements of the Taliban—specifically NOT sick women-stoners like Mullah Omar and his twisted cronies--, the Huquanni Network within Pakistan--which is actually the crew protecting Osama Bin Laden and his small circle ensconced in the mountains along the Afghan/Pakistan border--and the Pakistani government. A Peace AGREEMENT in Afghanistan is a genuine hope for the Afghan people under the leadership of President Barack Obama as he navigates a situation which the previous administration created. He inherited the post 9/11(let’s not forget that the worst attack on the U.S. mainland occurred under the watch of the Republican Bush) world, including the Afghan war which was a stalemate after 7 long years. He inherited a Pakistan which Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Rice allowed to develop and deploy a nuclear arsenal, under a twisted ally called General Musharraf, and with a centuries old grudge and consistent warfare with its next-door nuclear neighbor India. OMG. Barack is handling this in an amazingly competent manner, indeed.

Right out of the starting gate, Barack reviewed U.S. nuclear strategy, and for the first time since the commencement of the Manhattan project during World War II, the official goal of the U.S. government is global nuclear disarmament, including our own nuclear disarmament. He successfully negotiated the START treaty with President Medvedev of Russia, had a successful summit right away, and then navigated it successfully through the Senate during the anything but lame lame-duck session of Congress last year. He knew that even certain Republicans knew that the new Republican numbers in the upcoming Senate would not vote for ratification, and got it done before the new Congress. This was pretty astute politicking on an issue of grave national security importance. In that same non-lame lame-duck session, he enhanced national security AND gave civil rights its biggest shot in the arm in decades by repealing the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy of organized anti-gay discrimination among the uniformed military services. Thank you President Obama!

Written n 1954 as a response to a U.S. Supreme Court Ruling, Three Dog Night made "Black and White" a pop delight in the 1970s.

Given the political climate, Barack’s perseverance and ‘never-say-die’ attitude about Health Care Reform resulted in the biggest change in not only health care provision, but also in domestic policy since Medicare was passed. Government option was not an option ever, given the party of “Hell-no’s” attitude of styming anything this President does or proposes, and the opposition of conservative Democrats. He got out of that Congress more than anyone could have possibly imagined! Congratulations on that one President Obama. And Vice President Biden: We agree, “This IS a big f@#*ing deal, Mr. President!”


With a political climate that the opposition has created, which honestly has more to do with the President’s skin color than with his policies, this President has done amazing things. Both he and Eric Holder in particular deserve praise for their sacrifices as people of color with families who are targeted by opponents and characterized as motivated by their pigmentation. Sickening. Thank you for your service Attorney General Holder, President Obama and to your wonderful families.

Let’s not forget that Attorney General Holder “held” Tony “Wayward” Hayward liable, and set up shop right next door to his headquarters in New Orleans during the BP spill with a big ol’ Justice Department logo right next door for the suits and ties to see as they came and went from their corporate headquarters. Let’s not forget that $20billion is already in hand for the damages done by BP! And let’s not forget that “Wayward” is now forced to reside in Putin’s Russia in order to escape the long arm of the Justice Department under Eric Holder and certain extradition if he returns to his native United Kingdom as a resident. Thank you Eric! And please keep in mind the absurd accusations made by the libelous Rupert Murdoch product, Fox News, that Eric Holder’s Justice Department dropped criminal charges against a few punks calling themselves “New Black Panthers” when in fact the charges were dropped before Barack Obama was even sworn into office by the preceding administration. Mr. Holder’s is anything but a skin-color conscious Justice Department, in fact is the most color-blind department in my memory.


And right out of the starting gate we have two brand new Democratic women on the U.S. Supreme Court. I agree Mr. President, being smart is not a disqualification for the bench. In fact I think you may be right, it might just be a good measuring stick, in fact. Thank you Mr. President!


And for what it’s worth, we have a White House with class again. It is nice having literate White House, with a library being utilized for its intended purpose. I like having a President who knows how to spell and pronounce ‘nuclear,’ and who invites Paul McCartney over to rock the House! And thank God for a President who has kicked the nicotine habit. And thanks to you Michelle Obama for helping him with this process and for your public education and advocacy for the public health, especially childhood obesity! What an awesome first lady! Please consider a run for office after Barack’s second term, Mrs. Obama! Please? And those kids, we’re letting them grow up fairly shielded, but we’re getting enough of a glimpse to see how beautiful they are and are growing, and how evident their awesome parenting is within the White House residential quarters. What a beautiful family to represent the nation.


Is Barack perfect? NO! Is he the best possible candidate for 2012? ABSOLUTELY!!!

I would like to address you personally for a moment Mr. President. If I could have your ear this is what I’d say. First, please continue with your agenda, and do not be distracted by labels such as ‘socialist,’ or birthers, or those who say you’re not a Christian, etc. The Party of Hell No is self-destructing. They are in their final post-Nixon death throes, I do believe. We will come out the other side the better, and with a new loyal opposition instead of the disloyal lot they’ve been since the crooks took over their party in 1968.


Second, continue to beware of the uniformed brass--the Joint Chiefs, Admiral Mullens, and especially General Petraeus. Do NOT trust them for one second, sir. Please. Trust the State Department over Defense whenever in doubt, sir, is advice you seem to be recognizing as legitimate at this point. Diplomacy will work in almost every case, sir. And please add some women to the leadership of the Defense Department in large numbers, both uniformed and civilian. This will help civil rights and national security in a big way.


And third sir, trial balloons have been floated of Hillary taking the Vice Presidential nomination in 2012, and Mr. Biden perhaps shifting to the State Department. A Clinton Vice Presidency, and a possible Hillary Rodham-Clinton Presidency in 2016 is just what the doctor ordered. With former President Clinton, Hillary, yourself and Michelle on the campaign trail the Democratic victory next year will be of landslide proportions both at the Electoral College level, and within Congress as well at all levels! And as Vice President, Hillary could accomplish much (not to disparage Mr. Biden’s awesome work) and be well situated to secure the Presidency for the 8 years following your own historic work as President, sir.


We did it in 2008. YES WE DID. We’ve done it since January 20th, 2009, sir. We stand ready for 2012.

                                    BARACK OBAMA FOR PRESIDENT

YES WE COULD!

YES WE DID!

YES WE CAN!

YES WE WILL AGAIN

IN 2012!!!

So, re-elect President Obama in 2012. The short list of Obama achievements:

1) Ending the reign of terror that was Osama Bin Laden.


2) Ending Don't Ask Don't Tell- The official Defense Department policy of legal discrimination against gay and lesbian heroes.


3) Negotiating and passing through the U.S. Senate the START treaty with Russia.


4) Passage of the highly successful $700billion TARP bill.


5) Passage of the first-step Health Care Reform Act of 2010.


6) Removing 100,000 of our bravest and best from harm's way in Iraq.


7) Getting a $20 billion down payment from BP before the spill was even over.


8) Intimidating Tony "Wayward" Hayward into resigning as the immoral head of BP, taking a demotion and hiding out in Putin's Russia to avert prosecution by Attorney General Eric Holder.


9) Naming 2 women in a row to the U.S. Supreme court with brains.


10) Having a brain himself as President, post-George Dubya Bush. Refreshing-huh?
