Raves, Rants and me!


      Apple The big Computer, Tablet, I Phone, I Pod giant is releasing the new I-Pad today. They are lowering the price on the I-Pad 2 to 399.00 a shot, also. Apple makes the sturdiest computers and I-Pads out there along with the I-pod, I-phone, they have amazing products, that once people get them they want to keep them forever. As Apple goes so goes most of the Computer Manufacturers trying to keep up with them, it’s amazing what APple produces and sells, but the one disappointment is the pricing of these products.

      If I could afford a Apple Computer or even an Apple I-Pad I would grab one and run, but they are not priced for average Americans or consumers, they are priced for the upper economic class. All I can do is pray and hope someday I can afford one, but I doubt it will happen for a Disabled Veteran with no job living on Disability Pay, yet everytime I go by the Apple STore in the Mall, I stop in an dstare all amazed at them all.

    But like the economy today, prices are rising on gas, food, housing, insurance and more. It’s a struggle to eat, pay your bills and affrod to live never mind the niceities of Apple Products to own and have. 

       Clothing, Food, Gas, Oil, come first, paying the mortgage comes first or the rent. Medical costs triple on us old Veterans and Disabled ones, as well as retired ones.  Yet Congress, and the Leaders in both parties wish to fight over our medical benefits, our Medicade, Medicare, Social Security and even our prescription coverages, for the elderly and disabled. They say they are tired of paying for our benefits, well that is crap too. Those who are lucky enough to get the benefits earned them by paying into Social Security Medicade and Medicare, what right does Congress have to take any of it from us?

        I know the question is what does Apple making money have to do with benefits for us elders and disabled folks? Actually not anything at all, like my web blog says I do at times rant and rave and raise hell.  But I also know in the end I am usually right about Congress, Washington,DC. what I feel is politically wrong for candidates to say and do is included too.

      I rant against bad customer services, I rant against lousy resturants, I rave on Apple and their products but complain about the prices of everything, I know, I know I sound like a raving maniac, but in all truth, I am just a mad American Disabled Veteran watching a political show that should have ended months ago on the Republican side, and watching my dreams and the dreams of millions of Americans go up in smoke as we can not pay our bills and have what the rich have anymore. So yes I rant and rave, yes I scream and shout, yes I dream of what I want and can not have, but, it is my right as a human being, and a Veteran and an American.

      In the end my Rants and Raves do not get me anything, not even attention, but it is theraphy for me to do it. I suffer from many injuries, six bad discs in my spine from the service days, PTSD, Sleep Apenea,and more, I have survived 16 years service, and two TIA Heart Attacks and I still survive. So yes if I rant crazy at times I am allowed, as long as I hurt no one.

Republican Disgrace !!!!


      Slowly the Republican Primary slogs along down the path to their convention. Mitt Romney still is the delegate leader no matter what others may want to say or hope for. All Mitt Romney needs to do is relax, be himself, use his wife, and answer questions honestly and openly. Do not Mitt, stand up there and be phony, fake or impolite, nor try to be someone you are not. As soon as you try to force yourself into a position, or stance you don’t really believe in, it crumbles around your ears. Be Mitt Romney, and slow down when you’re talking some and think before you speak. If you do that, speak jobs, the economy and how to turn it all around you will be fine. One other thing you need to do Mitt is, take the stick out of your ass and stop acting like a rich little bitch and show you care for all the people not just the rich. Stop being negative against your opponents and try some positive advertising for positions and issues you believe in.

       Rick Santorum deserves congratulations for his Victories in Mississippi and Alabama last night, he put on an impressive show of popularity for sure. He runs on Social Agendas, that each state thinks is important to it. He appeals to the sensibilities of these poor states and their people. But if Alabama and Mississippi both stopped to think what they were really voting for they would run from Santorum and his religious and social views. Sadly, the people do not understand what they will really get if Santorum is elected or gets the Nomination., Santorum needs to explain his opposition to Romney getting the nomination to the people.

       Newt Gingrich, come on now Newt you are a Southern boy who had plenty of support when you represented Georgia in the House, but lets face it if all you can win is Georgia and South Carolina at this stage, this many states into the race for the Nomination it is indeed time to step out of this race. The same can be said of Newt here that I have said of Santorum in the end, why do you oppose Mitt Romney getting the Republican Party Nomination so hard? What did Romney do to you or the party?

       The last candidate is Ron Paul who is overlooked in last nights, primary contests because he didn’t win a thing and came in fourth in all of them. God Bless Ron Paul for standing up and running at his age and his spirit is strong. The rest of the Candidates should just tell Ron, hey you can have your say at the convention we will listen to you, you need to step aside nicely now and go home to Texas and relax.

       As the numbers come in and change it is apparent that the Republicans don’t want to give their nomination to Mitt Romney, what isn’t clear is exactly why?. When you look at the polls and his comparisons to President Obama no Republican compares better, nor shows they can run with Obama period, better than Romney. The resistance in this case is baffling to many people across the land. Someone please come out with a straight answer here, as to why the Republican Party is so damn sure it doesn’t want Romney as the Nominee, please! Just explain it to America in english and we shall see what we can do, seriously, the man has one hell of a delegate lead you know.

      As 2012 continues on its path towards the November General Election, do these Republican Candidates realize how much ammunition they are giving the Democrats and how much time and money they are wasting fighting each other?  The advantage of the Democrats is showing fully at this time, after millions upon millions of dollars spent on negative ads against each other, these Republicans don’t realize the fact of President Obama still sailing smoothly to his Nomination. The Power of the Incumbant alone is enough to give President Obama a leg up in this election , period.

      It makes one wonder, how much longer can Santorum, Gingrich and Paul actually keep pushing at Romney and why they are so damn concerned with him winning the Nomination, that they are blind to the fact, they are killing the Republican Chances in the General Election. Anger and bitter squabbles are stupid when picking a Presidential Candidate, wake up Republicans the time to unite is here. In the end, come November, if you Republicans don’t get your shit together in one sock and back one candidate soon, you might as well throw all the contributions and money out the windows and give up now. You can’t win an Election for president if you can’t even get behind one person for the Nomination, can you? It’s  sad state for a political party to be in, fighting and arguing like kids in a playground over who shall be the leader, who will get beat in the end anyway, isn’t it? Mrs. Bush, said it best, this whole primary process for the Republican Party is a walking joke and disgrace to the Republican Party and it’s members.

 

 

Mississippi/ Alabama Speak Today!


Today is March 13th, 2012, and the  Republican Primaries continue with still fout candidates on the ballots, why? I find it hard to believe that  the Republican Party ina nd of itself is not pressuring these candidates to suspend their runs. How much of a chance does a candidate at this point who has won no states or only one state have at the nomination, none. Mitt Romney needs to convey to Ron Paul and Newt Gingrich they will get their say at the convention come August and the Party will listen.

Then we run dead into Rick Santorum. Why this man wants to split the Republican Party into two factions is beyond me. Santorum needs to pack his suitcases and leave the race just as badly as the other two really. Sadly he wants to keep pushing his religious views and thoughts on others, and still run on his so called social issues. We don’t need a candidate out there talking abortion, child care,child rights and putting down women’s rights. His views on abortion, and whether women should have a right to one  are so far fetched and out there, we can not go back to the 1940’s Mr. Santorum and treat women like we own them and they have no rights.

As the South begins it’s statement today on Republicans in the race by holding their primaries, they need to focus on the economy, jobs, eating and places to live. I understand the South’s pride and refusual to want to take charity, but in the end, you can’t beat Mother Nature on your own and you can’t beat Father Time either nor can you beat Uncle Sam with it’s laws, rights and ways. VOte for Romney down there and you may get a fair shake to earn your way out of poverty, and pain, anyone else and you may end up not getting anywhere!.

The Republican Primary Season has been entertaining and interesting with so many different views from these four remaining candidates. Now that all of them have had a say and made numerous speeches, attending 20 debates, and drawn out this contest beyond a respectful process, is is indeed time to get together and back one man, Mitt Romney. Face the facts, Mr. Paul, Mr. Gingrich and Mr. Santorum, no matter how you do the math, even magically in the end Mitt Romney has the lead and the race to the finish in hand. The delegate count itself is in his favor as I believe the American public is realizing and so should you too.

If you want a fair chance at The Presidency and beating President Obama, I would reccommend you wake up and back Romney and give him time to debate, and fight President Obama now. Sadly, the foolish pride of people who can’t win the nomination based on their own faults and problems and the way the Republican Party feels about it’s own, will destroy any chances the party has of running a fair race against President Obama.

As Mississippi, and Alabama get ready to speak this evening, they need to realize what I am saying here is correct. Across the USA, these Southerners, are being portrayed as southern idiots or dim witted hillibillies, and I hope they see it on television. The South has to stand tall and proud this election and make the best choice for it’s own reasons. But the cruelity of television and advertising, must have by now stung the people of thes etwo states. They show them on CNN and other channels as toothless, senseless and slow witted people who can’t understand the differences between the candidates. I think they can undertand it all, but are still being disrespected. If your in Mississippi or Alabama you need yo wake up and represent yourselves better to the public, the nation an dthe world and stop these television stations and newscasts from treating you all, as hillibillies and old time rebels.

You may have a favorite Southern Son, in Newt Gingrich from Georgia in this race, but he has far too much baggage to get the Republican Nomination and we all know it. Southern women need to look at Rick Santorum and tell him he can’t stop you from aborting children from rapes and you determine what to do with your body and child not him or his religion. Ron Paul is too old and liberal to be a true Republican and we all know he will never get the Nomination and so does he. He just wants a say at the platform at the Convention. In the end every Republican knows only one candidate has a pig’s eye cahnce in winning the Nomination and it is Mitt Romney, give it to him sooner than later, and he may have a chance or a fair run at the presidency if you let him.

 

Embarassing Republicans !!!!!!


     Across America there is a scramble and fight going on for the Republican Nomination for President of the United States. As this scrap, scramble, fight goes, we have four so-called grown men making a mess of each other and their party. The Republicans are looking like the Stooges in an old slapstick movie, and it isn’t getting any prettier either. Do they really belive, honestly that the way this is going they will have a leg to stand on up against, President Obama?

        It’s become one serial comedy act after another for these four candidates.In my book three of them should pack up and go home, quickly and leave Mitt Romney to run. but like in the old Stooges films, Curley=Gingrich, Larry=Santorum, Paul=Shemp, and Moe=Romney all have their own little comedy bits in this act, they won’t stop playing!.

       Listen Curley=Gingrich, Larry=Santorum and Shemp=Paul, stop hindering the only candidate among you Moe=Mitt Romney, or your party will not have any chance at winning period!. Your like a bunch of kids from the Family Circus in the Sunday Papers, running around going he did it, no he did it!. Face reality and lets move on ok. If Curley=Gingrich or Larry=Santorum want a chance at the Republican nomination they should take it in the next election cycle, not now. As to Shemp=Paul, well at his age I don’t blame him for wanting a say at the convention, I would too, for it will probably be his last one.

        Larry=Santorum wants to push his ideas and morals on the American people, relating to religion and child-birth and abortion. Sorry Larry, but you are going to fight a losing battle there, abortion and the right to plan a family and the female body belongs to the females. Women need to get together in a public forum or convention and argue out when it is right for them to abort a child or fetus, we men shouldn’t have any say unless the child is a result of a marriage period. I know if I was forcefully impregnated by being raped by someone I wouldn’t want to keep the child either, it just gets hated as it gets older.

       Then we have Curley=Gingrich, he falls asleep at events and forgets where he is and why. Come on now Curley, you know you don’t have the energy and strength to be President nor the backing to win either, the money is drying up now anyway for you. Mr. Gingrich all due respect for your past political career and life, but don’t you really think it’s time to retire?

      Shemp=Mr. Ron Paul, Sir, I respect your age, your experience and you as a man as I am sure all of America and the World does now, but , if you must stay in this race to the White House, we can all understand. Your earned it by running decently every time you have. You can hold you head high in public and private sir, there is no shame in saying ok, I can’t win the nomination, I shall suspend my run.

       I know both Shemp=Ron Paul and Curley=Gingrich are more than likely still running to get their say in the Republican Platform in August at the Convention. Moe=Mitt Romney should by now realize that is what these two want, and should sit down with them and let them have their say at the convention. As to Larry=Rick Santorum, well, he runs just to run and have fun too in my opinion, but his views are not republican views one hundred percent. If Moe=Mitt Romney has a brain in his head he will offer Larry=Rick Santorum something good to step aside and back him for election come November.

         As long as the Stooges keep stopping Moe=Mitt Romney or trying to stop him from getting the Nomination, they are destroying their party in the eyes of Americans everywhere, by looking childish, foolish and idiotic, like little kids squabbling over who’s in charge in a  game. Games up boys, now, calm down, and behave, or America, will treat you as the spoiled little kids you are and send you to your rooms, whether you want it or not!. Wake up, boys, the clock is ticking!.

 

Mitt won Six/ Stooges still slapsticking!


      Heard it all before now!. The Republicans are still going Mitt Romney is the front-runner, not the eventual nominee. Well, if that is so Republicans it is your own fault for dragging this out as long as you have not Mitt Romney’s.

         Last night I sat and watch some of the results come tumbling in for So-Called Super Tuesday. I thought to myself as it did happen, why, oh why are these Republicans doing this to their candidates and their hopes for a run at the White House come November?. Why destroy your own chances to beat President Obama if you’re a Republican by not solidifying and consolidating behind one candidate and starting to aim for the position now!. It strikes me not only as strange but stupid for the Republican Party to do this!.

       Barbra Bush said it herself, this is the nastiest, dumbest thing she has seen in Republican Politics or Politics in decades!. As the people of the United States vote and make their choices as to who will run against President Obama, the Republican Party needs to get united and together and back one man now. The time is ticking, and you have a very short time between Convention and the actual Election. Wake up!.

         What kind of game are Santorum, Gingrich, and Paul playing here and why? I have heard it is the conservatives that Romney can’t get, well that should be bullshit too. Every time I turn around its one excuse or another why, Conservatives won’t back Romney. It doesn’t matter how you rationalize it Republicans, if you don’t support Romney, the other three have no chance at all.

       I have said this before, now I shall say it again, the Republican Party is running  this primary like a Three Stooges comedy short! If you look at the four of them on stage it is indeed one, as they poke and stab and slap each other around during debates and speeches. Mitt Romney is like Moe, Gingrich is Curley, Santorum is Larry, and finally but not least comes in Ron Paul as Shemp, then they get on stage and do each other up as America laughs at them!. Why do this to yourselves and the Republican Party and look so stupid and assine to the American People?

        As we go forward in this primary round to choose who shall be the Republican’s candidate, someone needs to tell the Stooges, then time has come to retire at least two of them!. As in real life, the Stooges lost first Curley to a heart attack and he passed away. And then Shemp went next dying young too, this cast of the Stooges needs that to happen here and now in the primary race. I don’t mean literally, I mean they must drop from the race and make this a two-man race, both Curley=Gingrich and Shemp=Paul, had their moments of fame and sunshine, but it is now time to drop out and back one of the remaining two front-runners and let Republicans make their choice too.

        As Super Tuesday for March 6th, 2012 came to a close last night, two states were left to decide at my bedtime, they were Ohio and Alaska. Both of which went to Mitt Romney’s corner in the end. While Rick Santorum made a mad dash at this nomination and went after Romney to stop him what is the purpose of doing this, what is his reasons to stay in the race?

       I, for one can not fathom a reason for the Three Stooges to try to stop the fourth from getting the nomination. Even in the old Three Stooges movies and shorts, no matter how divided they were, in the end they all followed Moe! The Time has come men, and it is proven no matter how close the votes were in some states, Moe=Mitt Romney will become eventually the nominee I am sure, get onboard and make his a swifter faster ride to beat President Obama or, watch the wheels come off the republican band wagon and you all fall together into a gully!.
