In the same edition, there was a headline that once again, the Senate has used arcane fillibuster rules to deny two Predential appointments, one to a judgeship, the other to an agency in need of leadership.
The Senate has set a record for fillibusters and for denying Presidnential appointments. Th Bureau of Tobacco and Firearms went for years without a leader, Republicans in the Senate refused to approve anyone to the leadership, using fillibuster after fillibuster to deny the President's candidates.
And, a couple weeks ago, we saw the Republicans in the House of Representatives lead the nation into a disasterous governmental shutdown, in a failed attempt to scuttle the Affordable Care Act.
And now, another hater writes an ariticle that we are without a President.
Even the most vocal opponents to the Democratic President has to see a pattern here. Conservatives, especailly racist ones, decided a long time ago to block everything they could by President Obama.
This first became apparent early, when the Affordable Care Act barely missed getting the key component of single payor alternative, when Massachusetts stupidly elected a Republican to take Ted Kennedy's Senate seat, taking away the 60 seat super majority the Democrats had, and leading to endless fillibusters.
In fact, the ACA was approved narrowly, with legislative manuvers that were necessary because the Senate fillibuster had the bill locked down. Even though Democrats had sizable majorities in both houses, the fillibuster almost stopped the ACA.
This, course, cause faux outrage with Republicans, who to a man/woman refused to vote for the ACA, and declared war on the bill from that day on.
Today, Ted Cruz is obviously using the ACA as a vehicle to run, as the first openly fascist candidate for President in history.
The Republican Party has split, in supposedly a death spiral, but still is united in its hatred of President Obama. The Speaker of the House, keeps tap dancing around, acting like he can be "reasonable" but then calling the ACA every name in the book, and going for the President's throat.
The facts are not in dispute. We have a President, contrary to the haters. We just don't have the President they wanted. Mitt Romney, tragically who led the ACA inception in Massachusetts (its the same f....bill!), was forced to run against himself, could not take credit for the health care reform he led, and lost big to the President, who basically copied Romneycare.
And conservatives hate the President for it. But they hate him for another reason, that they barely veil...he is half black!
When articles are written claiming the United States does not have a President, while Republicans block everything, setting up the President for such outlandish claims, with no cooperation offerred ever, it is for one reason; a moderate President, who championed a conservative idea for health care reform, is hated and resisted for the simple reason that he is black!
But do not be too happy conservatives. You may ruin Obama's Presidency, but we will never forget. And if you ever do elect a President, I am hereby declaring war on you and yours. No cooperation, no bipartisanship, WAR! We will never forget the chickenshit approach you and yours have adopted.
And if you somehow elect Cruz, it will be more than political war, it will have to be the real thing, because fascism will come to our great country.
And fascism never wins.
