So many fruits ripe for the pickin' and all I got is two hands and a keyboard. Where to start?

While everybody else appears to be on My President's case I would like to talk about the repubs. It is soooooo much more fun.

The dems need some pushin' and some shovin' and some hard evidence that the peasants are revolting.

On the other side of the disillusion problem among the factions of the left, I do see one clear agreement among all. Or most anyway, even though I do love hyperbole. That is, there is no reason to deal with the repubs any longer. I mean they never dealt with us.

I told Miguel that Pelosi and Reid should simply paint the word 'republican' on a wall and negotiate with the wall for fifteen minutes and then get down to business. Ha!!!

To be fair folks, Grandma Pelosi has been doing just that. This woman who fell into community organizing while raising her children and now is the second most powerful woman in the world, is nobody to fool with. And I love her dearly. 44 dems abandoned her recently on an important piece of legislation...well kind of...and she got the legislation through anyway. Without Rahm on the floor; although I have the feeling that four letter words were flying on the telephone for some time. The vote was too close to believe that all stops were not pulled on this legislation. I am telling you those 44 were GIVEN LEAVE to do so; For political reasons in order to allow them to answer to their respective constituencies.

On the Senate side, one of my favorite pols is going to be sworn in as the 58th Democratic Senator. There are two independents. Bernie Sanders, an unrepentant socialist, like myself, is an independent. Bernie has been sending me the best of the newsletters by the by.

Lieberman was forgiven and wooed and he has committee status. People railed against this. Because of what some people thought were weak knees on the part of the WH and Reid, Lieberman is OURS. This man is not going to join in any filibuster. That is my opinion and we will see how prescient I am.

Dems are NOT GOING TO JOIN IN ANY SENATE FILIBUSTER. There I said it. We shall see if I am correct.

There are 536 people who run this country. Putting aside the oligarchy of the .1% who own everything. Ha. It takes smart politics in any atmosphere to run this country.  Now the Dems are in control.

Frankly I could care less whether legislation is passed in the Senate by a vote of fifty-fifty with Vice President Biden breaking the tie, or whether that legislation is passed 60 to 40. As long as it is passed and signed by My President. By the by, some repubs will break ranks, as they did in the House anyway. THEY HAVE TO ANSWER TO THEIR CONSTITUENCIES TOO. HA!

Enough said.

Now let's have some fun.

How are the repubs doin?

I must start with 'the rush.' Few repubs have challenged this fascist demagogue. And when they have, they take back their words WITHIN AN HOUR AFTER THEY UTTER THEM. And that means that the dems can use words spat out by the demagogue against all repubs. There are so many gems here recently that I must cherry pick. The cherries are all ripe but I must watch my caloric intake.

First, the rush is ranting lately about 2016. Anybody who thinks Obama is going away in 2016 is nuts.  He will single handedly change the constitution. Forget the idiocy involved in this charge. This is an indication. And this is an indication that the repubs see no chance of winning back the executive branch until 2016. I love this kind of message. It heartens me greatly. http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/200906300022

Second, the rush was only pining about his lack of feminine ratings in the last month or so. I blogged on this issue. Take a look at this gem from the big fat liar (as branded by good old Al Franken):

LIMBAUGH: All right, if there are any liberal newswomen in this audience, stop what you're doing. I have more Mark Sanford news. This guy is amazing. He's already being heralded by liberal infobabes for being really great at love letter writing, and he's really in love with the babe down in Argentina, and he just ought to go for it. I mean, they're schmaltzy, they're embarrassing, but, man, how romantic. Oh, it's just wonderful.

Remember when I said last week this guy could've been our JFK, still to this day, educated liberal reporters do not understand this. They think that I'm saying that Mark Sanford has some sort of great political reputation, image, charisma that could cause him to win a landslide -- no.

If you have to explain -- well, no, I'm not going to explain it. You people understand it -- the drive-bys do not. But here are the two AP alerts: First, South Carolina governor tells AP that the mistress down in Argentina is his soul mate, but he will try to fall back in love with his wife. AP alert number two: South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford tells AP he crossed lines with women other than the mistress but never had sex with them.

This guy is loyal to the mistress. This guy does not cheat on the mistress. Do you realize how the liberal women are going to eat this up? The liberal infobabes, oh, they're swooning, folks. I will guarantee you they are having to excuse themselves and run to the bathroom here to control themselves.

The repubs are really attempting to shut out women completely from the republican party.  I mean who could ask for more? Yeah, this is the way to lure the fairer sex into your party. Attack them for bathroom breaks. When all the while, any decent reasoning citizen, EVERY SINGLE TIME HE OR SHE TURNS ON THE RADIO AND HEARS RUSH MUST TAKE A BATHROOM BREAK. Ha!!!

Ok. Now how is the rove coalition doing? You remember the corporate hogs and the religious right? Oh and the minority haters. The repubs would remain in power for generations. How is that going for ya now, rover?

Those wonderful Oklahomans, led by the likes of Imhofe would like to be the center of the discussion in the repub party. The legislature, in that great state recently passed a  resolution that specifically cites President Obama's policies as well as his celebration of LGBT Pride month and his decision to end the National Prayer Day service at the White House as key causes of the current recession.

WHEREAS, we believe our economic woes are consequences of our greater national moral crisis; and

WHEREAS, this nation has become a world leader in promoting abortion,
pornography, same sex marriage, sex trafficking, divorce, illegitimate births, child abuse, and
many other forms of debauchery; and

WHEREAS, alarmed that the Government of the United States of America is forsaking
the rich Christian heritage upon which this nation was built; and

WHEREAS, grieved that the Office of the president of these United States has refused
to uphold the long held tradition of past presidents in giving recognition to our National Day of
Prayer; and

WHEREAS, deeply disturbed that the Office of the president of these United States
disregards the biblical admonitions to live clean and pure lives by proclaiming an entire month to an immoral behavior;  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/30/oklahoma-republicans-read_n_223074.html

Yeah that is going to work. Maybe for right wing evangelists who still have a job.

Oklahoma, where the bullshit comes sweepin down the plains,
Where the wavin'  cheats,
Do not smell so sweet,
When the bullshit falls behind the rain,

Oklahoma, every night the repubs and the insane,
Sit alone and talk,
And watch the  hawks,
Makin' lazy circles in the sky,

We know we're amakin a last stand
and the old party aint so grand

And when we say, hey! a yippy-i-o-ey
We're only sayin' You're doin' fine Oklahoma,
Oklahoma, O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A,
Oklahoma.

Now recall the eight repubs who broke ranks in the House, allowing some dems to appease their constituents?

Sam Stein at Huffpo: Michelle Malkin, the prominent conservative commentator and writer, mocked the those Republicans who "helped the Democrats pass a junk science-based, massive national energy tax." Another conservative blogger, Stacy McCain, demanded that the movement cut off donations to the National Republican Congressional Committee in retaliation for the betrayal. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/06/30/gop-poised-to-eat-its-own_n_223164.html

I wish to examine this statement more closely. From my parsing of this rather ridiculous statement, I perceive that the bill is detested because it is science-based. Get it? Look at the hyphen between 'science' and 'based'. Junk would appear to describe the entire bill. In other words, the bill is junk AND it is science based. ha!!!

My point here is that the repubs are now on record as being against science-based anything. I mean read in the context of the resolution passed by the Oklahoma Legislature and taken with the solemn oaths of  most of the repub candidates for the presidency (who swear they do not believe in 'evilution', the repub party is against anything that is science based. Ha!!! IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!

How to wrap all this up. As eclectic as I choose to be today?

The next indication that the repubs are permanently on the run is provided at Plumline, Greg Sargent tells us:

OP leaders have a new complaint about President Obama: He's not reaching out to them nearly as much as he did earlier this year, when he road-tested his pledge of post-partisanship, only to get uniformly rebuffed on his first big legislative initiative.

Here's GOP Rep. Eric Cantor, giving voice to the new GOP gripe:

GOP leaders complain that the phone calls and White House invitations have slacked off -- perhaps because Obama's early efforts to woo Republicans yielded few votes.

"I think that in the beginning they seemed a lot more willing to go in and engage with us," said House Minority Whip Eric Cantor.

Of course, Democrats respond that Obama's initial outreach efforts weren't exactly reciprocated. House Republicans unanimously opposed his stimulus and his budget, and almost all of them opposed the big war spending bill. Many refused to condemn Rush Limbaugh for saying he hopes Obama fails.http://theplumline.whorunsgov.com/uncategorized/gop-leadership-to-obama-you-never-call-you-never-write/

The repubs have reached a conclusion here that is hard to miss. I actually agree with them.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS NO LONGER TAKING THEIR CALLS.
