CanOfWhoopAss's Journal
My friends on the right keep tagging me on Fb about entitlement programs posts. I don’t know how to explain my position any better than I have already so to appease the mentally challenged, I consulted Dr. PIBO.
The doctor told me a story about a patient he has that is on life support. America is her name. America is very sick with multiple ailments. She has a cancerous growth called “MIC”. As well, the patient is hemorrhaging from a ruptured aneurism complicated by “Wall Street oligarchitis and corporate plutocratitis”. Dr. PIBO has strayed from his original course of treatment which has slowed the patient’s recovery. Despite constant obstruction and interference with the patient's treatment, Dr. Teabagger is dissatisfied with the patient's slow recovery. Dr. Teabagger believes he knows how to cure the patient. According to Dr. Teabagger, neither the cancer nor the aneurism is the problem. What hinders the patient’s recovery is an extremely painful paper-cut he calls "entitlement programs" on her left index finger. Before wasting another dime on another Band-Aid the finger must be amputated if the patient is to survive. If it is not, Dr. Teabagger will turn off life support. Dr. PIBO has not yet agreed to amputate the finger but while debating Dr. Teabagger as to the course of continued treatment, the patient's condition has worsened. Her health has been downgraded and she is now in danger of slipping into a coma… Tune in next week when we learn if Dr. Teabagger cuts off her nose to spite her face.
***This is a repost from months ago and I still believe it can help, though it may again fade into the abyss. HOLD YOUR NOSE AND VOTE IN REPUKE PRIMARIES! ***
If you live in a Red "crossover" State, vote Republican in the primaries. Are you listening Ohioans? Vote to win open seats and vote out Republican incumbants in all contested Republican primaries. I'm a registered Democrat in GA but I can vote in either primary. Unlike say NY where you can only vote in the primary of the party with which you are registered. If you live in a hopelessly red state, district, county or city don't skip the election. You can still make a difference by voting in the other primary. Vote for the weakest republican the one least likely to generate interest. The poorest candidate who is not a professional politician and is least likely to explain away voting irregularites due to having a solid base and experienced co-conspirators.
Vote out the incumbant and you vote out the experienced candidate and his co-conspirators who know the ins and outs of the system. This forces the losing Repug to believe he should have won. These self serving bastards will now be at one another's throat because the incumbant will be forced to use his Diebold machine against his own party. This creates more opportunities for mistakes as well as more disgruntled co-conspirators and potential whistleblowers. Vote in Republican primaries! A lot of Incumbant Republicans in Georgia were Democrats a few years ago. That will add fuel to the fire when a "true" Republican has to take a back seat to a convert. Anything similar happening in your state?
Think this won't work? It has... Republicans did it to Democrats as recently as the last 2 elections. In 2002, Cynthia McKinney(D) of GA was voted out of office because of the "crossover" vote and a few Diebold Machines. She didn't lose the general election she was an incumbant that lost the primary. She spoke out against B*sh, about 9/11 and about Saudis going home in planes during 9/11 when the rest of the country was grounded. These Saudis may have had answers to some questions and McKinney spoke out about it. Republicans knew they would never win this Democratic district but they banded together to affect it's outcome. As a result the Repukes targeted her and used Diebold machines to get rid of Roy Barnes, Max Cleland and McKinney all in one year. Of course they credited it to the crossover primary votes but we all know they used Diebold to gain the difference. In 2004, McKinney won back her seat by babysitting each Diebold machine in her district among other reasons.
Georgia is a very red state but it is 40% minority. There is no way it can be as red as they would lead us to believe. That is why we have the new Voter ID law. It also means that Georgia is in danger of becoming the Blue State Anchor of the South if Florida hasn't beaten us to it. Georgia will be the South's version of California in the West or NY in the NE. ATL is already considered the "Little Apple" by some.
Above all if you don't live in a crossover state but you are hopelessly seeing red then... register republican and you can still help screw with their primarys.
