I'm disappointed in Democrats, and you should be too!
It's been almost 2 weeks since the mid-term elections, and I've taken that time to figure out what could have possibly happened and who dissapointed me the most.

Do you love the Biden men as much as I do? You have to love someone who speaks his mind and the honest truth at the same time (this is a lesson for you Mitt).
On Morning Joe today, broadcast in my town, from Racks in Boca Raton, Florida. Biden spoke the truth about Mitt Romney. He spoke of not just his debate performance last night in the third Presidential Debate, but also about Mitt as a man and his lack of integrity.
Attorney General Beau Biden tells America that Mitt Romney will say anything to get elected. His own home state doesn’t support him and he’s not even campaigning there. What does it say when the population of the only state where Mitt Romney has ever governed, in the only election he has ever won in 20 years of trying, don’t want anything to do with him?
Watch a clip of Beau Biden (view the clip of the entire segment below):
Not only were these miners forced by their employer to stand behind Mitt Romney, they were off work without pay and forced to contribute to Mitt Romney’s campaign.
On every issue in this election, Mitt Romney tells you what he thinks you want to hear, changing his positions depending on the crowd he’s talking to. The next day his campaign reps state that what Mitt said the day before was not his true position. Too bad this walking back never gets to the people who heard the original statement.
Mitt’s now campaigning on his record in Massachusetts? Don’t believe it. Why is Mitt Romney not ahead in his home state? He’ll probably lose the state by 30 points, that’s a recommendation that America should listen to.
BOSTON — When the ceiling collapsed in the Big Dig tunnel here, Gov. Mitt Romney was at his vacation home in New Hampshire. When the Bush administration warned that the nation was at high risk of a terror attack in December 2003, he was at his Utah retreat. And for much of the time the legislature was negotiating changes to his landmark health care bill, he was on the road.
During Mr. Romney’s four-year term as governor of Massachusetts, he cumulatively spent more than a year — part or all of 417 days — out of the state, according to a review of his schedule and other records. More than 70 percent of that time was spent on personal or political trips unrelated to his job, a New York Times analysis found.
Listen to Rachel Maddow explain the walking back of Mitt Romney’s positions, proving that you can’t believe a word he says, he’ll lie straight to your face without blinking. This is a man without conviction and absolutely no integrity. Anyone who backs his presidency should be ashamed of themselves for attempting to force this hollow man on the American public.
I used to watch Joy Behar on HLN every night, I never missed it. The Joy Behar Show introduced me to John Fugelsang, a New York based comedian. Make no mistake, both Joy and John take their politics very seriously, but at the same time they both add such a quick wit to their comments and interviews that it’s a bit addictive.
I followed both Joy and John on Twitter and guess what? John followed me back. He’s my only celebrity Twitter follower.
When The Joy Behar Show was cancelled on HLN I was devastated, so I tweeted her.
The final show was hilarious. In a skit reminicent of the finale of the Bob Newhart Show, Joy ended up in bed with Republican, Joe Scarborough of MSNBC. You can see Bob Newhart’s picture on the nightstand next to Joy. This was so unexpected, Joy a liberal ending up in bed with a Republican. Joy, that’s not a dream, it’s a nightmare!
After The Joy Behar Show was over, I made my first tweet to Current TV.
On March 30th, Current TV fired Keith Olberman and a few days later replaced him with Elliot Spitzer. This called for a double tweet so I could say everything I need to say.
Then a few months later, unbelievably, part of my tweet to Current TV came true.
Then John Fugelsang started showing up on CNN, MSNBC and all over Current TV and amazingly, this happened.
Do you think Current TV was talking to me when said “Your wish has been granted!”? Even though they didn’t mention me in their tweet, I’m taking total responsibility for both Joy Behar and John Fugelsang getting Prime Time shows on Current TV.
What is wrong with the GOP and their ability to pick candidates? I thought the GOP would have learned their lesson after John McCain picked Sarah Palin. After a failed vetting process, as documented in Game Change, Steve Schmidt himself has admitted that they picked Sarah Palin to make a game changing move in the election, to win at any cost, not because she was qualified to be President of the United States. Schmidt admitted on Morning Joe that they made a reckless choice and did a disservice to the United States of America by picking Sarah Palin. Did they learn? I think not.
During the Presidential Primary, we were presented with a host of incompetent candidates. Newt Gingrich? Rich Santorum? Ron Paul? Michelle Bauchman? Herman Cane? Really? Who encouraged these people to run?
It seems like out of a host of incompetent candidates, the one with the most money won. Just that simple, his money out lasted everyone else while he was slamming his opponents with nasty ads over and over and over again. Money talks. Mitt Romney is the GOP nominee for the President of the United States, apparently by default.
Doesn’t it seem that the GOP didn’t run their best and brightest? Do you think they were so sure President Obama would be re-elected that they didn’t want to tarnish their best candidates with a loss? Is Mitt Romney a human sacrifice hand fed to the American public by the GOP? Who are they holding back for the 2016 race? Jeb Bush?
Did anyone but me notice what happened when it came time for Mitt Romney to select a running mate? How many potential Vice Presidential short listers came on the air and said categorically NO, maybe adding some Romney insults to the interview to make sure they weren’t included on Mitt’s long or short list. Wouldn’t you love to see a video of those strung together? Oh wait a minute, there is one, you can watch it here.
I think Mitt Romney’s short list didn’t consist of the best Republican running mates that are qualified to be President. I think his very short list consisted of a very small number of people who were willing to run on a ticket with Mitt Romney.
Now we have Paul Ryan. Qualified to be President? I hear he was sent to Washington because his family didn’t feel he was qualified to be a part of their family business. Was Ryan sent to Washington to secure Government contracts for the family business?
The one thing he is qualified to do is lie, just like Mitt Romney. I’ve done a few blog posts regarding Mitt’s blatant lies on the campaign trail, check them out.
I haven’t posted for the past few weeks. I’ve spent the past few weeks reflecting on many things, I’ll be posting some of my random and jumbled thoughts over the next few days.
I have to admit I’ve been a little depressed about the state of our country, Republicans as a whole and the Supreme Courts decision on Citizens United and how our elections can now be bought by a few rich Tea Party guys looking for favors.
Keep this in mind people, when a rich Tea Party Billionaire helps someone get elected (Mitt Romney, Scott Walker) they want to be paid back. We know the Koch Brothers want to get rid of the EPA so they can spew their poison all over our environment without restraint.
Hey Justice Thomas and Mitt Romney, corporations are not people, they can’t go to jail for their misdeeds like people can.
Out of Touch How out of touch is Mitt Romney? He uses the oddest expressions it makes you wonder what type of people he hangs out with. Who is unable to recognize a donut? I don’t care how tongue tired you are, who can’t come up with the word donut? Maybe he’s never had one, is it possible he’s never been to a donut shop?
He’s so amazed at a touch screen to order a sandwich but calls it a touch tone instead of a touch screen. I just don’t get it. Why would he stand up in front of a group of people and say something so stupid? Oh I forgot, he doesn’t realize he’s clueless, he must think we’re all clueless.
Random Thought: The next time he says “If you will” I think I’m going to gag.
No matter what he does, he’s not a regular guy, he just doesn’t get it. He doesn’t understand what it’s like to worry about health insurance or medical bills. He doesn’t know what it’s like to not have enough money to pay all your bills. He can’t even comprehend having to work everyday. Willard has been unemployed for 7 years trying to run for President. Can you imagine a job interview that lasts 7 years. How would you pay your bills. Getting elected President is Mitt Romney’s job. He’s trying to accomplish something his father couldn’t. Sounds like there’s some kind of odd father son rivalry going on there. Maybe it’s not such a pretty picture after all.
If this was Mitt Romney’s job for the past 7 years, why didn’t he spend that time learning about real Americans? Why didn’t he travel the country in that time and get to know about people’s lives and struggles?
And why won’t Mitt Romney take a stand on anything? Why won’t he answer questions? Any question? John Fugelsang said while guest hosting The War Room on Current TV tonight that Mitt self deports from topics. Love it! Some people say he won’t take a position on any topic so that he can’t be accused of being a flip-flopper. I think it’s because he can’t remember his last position, he panders so much to the people he’s standing in front of. He’s rubber band man, he’ll say anything to gain approval from anyone. The question is what does he really think? Where does he really stand? How would he legislate? Nobody knows, I suspect including Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney says he won’t give details because his views will evolve over time. Evolve over time? So that means that on any given day when you voted for Mitt Romney in a Primary, the views he spewed to you will be different when he gets to the General Election. They may even have evolved during the run up to the General Election, depending on who he’s talking to. If you had known that, would you have voted for him in the Primary? Do you feel like your vote was given under false pretenses?
According to Ron Reagan on Hardball tonight, he’s already said that if you knew the details to his economic plan you wouldn’t like it and you wouldn’t vote for him. How is he going to raise enough revenue in order to implement the Ryan Budget Plan? You can bet he won’t raise taxes on the top 1%. You can also bet that he won’t cut any tax deductions that he takes himself. Have you ever seen a man who works so hard not to pay taxes? Is that the guy you want for President? The guy who will do anything including off shore bank accounts to keep from paying taxes in the country he wants to become the leader of. What kind of example does that set? Better yet, what kind of man is that?
Do you love the Biden men as much as I do? You have to love someone who speaks his mind and the honest truth at the same time (this is a lesson for you Mitt).
