.

Hillary picked the perfect day to announce her 2016 Presidential campaign — the fourth and final round of the Master Golf Tournament.

.

The “Masters” Golf Tournament Is The Personification of Class?

.

Hillary may have perception problems among voters in general, but the one thing they all have to grant her is —- the broad has “Class”.

.

She may be too cautious, too boring, too calculating & to self-serving.

.

But she’s not a wackadoodle, spouting mindless mantra-like rants of freedom, liberty, fraternity like the GOP collection of 2016 wannabees.

.

She’s a woman who has already been in the White House for two terms, is a two-term U.S. Senator and the former Secretary of State.

.

Quite a résumé by any standard.

.

Her 1994 quest for health care overhaul in this country – while falling short – was, nevertheless, a prodigious effort to tackle perhaps the number one domestic issue in this country — a third world health care system.

.

Say what you will about Hillary Rodham Clinton — she gave Barack Obama a run for his money in 2008 and with an estimated $2.5 Billion projected by her people as the operational budget for her 2016 presidential run, the GOP is tilting at windmills if they think they are going to retake the White House with the likes of Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio or Scott Walker, Mike Huckabee or Donald Trumps!

.

With the U.S. Economy already in significant recovery mode (unemployment @ 5.5%, the Dow Jones near 18,000 & 60+ quarters of positive job growth) there is no reason to relinquish the White House to a party (the GOP) that gave us two horrible historical legacies: (1) the ill-advised Iraq War — $2 Trillion of Wasted Revenue —- AND —- (2) the 2008 Wall Street Melt Down that nearly drove this country into its second full-scale depression!

.

So if we are to take Hillary at her word, that her 2016 presidential campaign is about the middle class, perhaps @ this juncture it would be appropriate to interject those seminal assertions first raised by FDR in his now famous “Second Bill of Rights” State of The Union Speech on January 11, 1944, 71 years go:

.

In our day these economic truths have become accepted as self-evident. We have accepted…a second Bill of Rights under which a new basis of security and prosperity can be established for all regardless of station, race, or creed. Among these are: The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the Nation; the right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation; the right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living; the right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad; the right of every family to a decent home; the right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health; the right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment; the right to a good education.

.

What Roosevelt was suggesting here was:

the minimum wage,

the Affordable Care Act,

the expansion of Social Security,

and a more generous student loan program.
.

He was framing these items not as noble goals but as “basic” rights, rights that should be enshrined or incorporated into the Constitution of the U.S.

.

So, Hillary, those are your parameters for waging a really meaningful presidential campaign in 2016 – 71 years after that State of the Union Message by FDR.

.

And, Rand Paul, with all due respect to you, when you come right out like you did this past week and say: “We’re here to take our country back!” —–> the rest of us “normal, sane” folk will merely shout back: “What The Fuck Are You Talking About?”

America’s newest superhero – Scott Walker (GOP-Gov.-WI) said in public this week that because of his ability to strip public unions in Wisconsin of their right to collectively bargain he was beautifully positioned to tackle – straight-on – the newest threat to world order – ISIS!

.

Furthermore, he went on to say that – his hero – Ronald Reagan – captivated his imagination when in 1982 Reagan fired 13,000 air traffic control operators – thereby neutering that union.

.

Walker’s father is a minister and Walker himself is an evangelical.  He’s Oral Roberts on the stump.  It was his homespun faith PLUS the direct intervention of the Koch Bros. & their money that got him elected governor in 2010 and re-elected in 2014!

.

Walker has had a solid GOP, lockstep majority in both houses of the Wisconsin state legislature since taking office in 2014.  In 4 short years he has become the epitome of the Douchebag Guide To Government:  (1) bust unions and gain political power; (2) cut middle-class pay and give tax breaks to the wealthy and (3) permit corrupt government – because after all that gets things done – and isn’t that what we all want – after all!

.

Walker is as boring as watching paint crack – but he’s a “crack-baby” mainlining Koch Bros. campaign cash infusions.  If the Koch Bros. could draw up the ideal, pliable, puppet candidate – Walker would fit the bill to a “T”.

.

Whereas Jeb is muted, toned-down, Brooks Bros. in style, Walker – with his evangelical streak – is not shy to go biblical and let loose with some “fire & brimstone” as part of his overall message.

.

Yes, Gov. Douchebag will no doubt corral the rock-hard GOP base but his “walk-on-water” foreign policy stance is like a house built on sand.  The next wave to come crashing down will obliterate that house.

.

Walker is like a 3-minute egg timer – tipped over and due to run out shortly.  He’s a lightweight with bombastic comments that make it painfully obvious he doesn’t have a clue about the world at large and without the Koch Bros. money behind his gubernatorial races and the very same money that bought him the solid GOP majorities in the Wisconsin state legislature, Scott Walker would just be another bland, anemic county administrator masquerading as a governor/state-wide office holder.

.

Frankly, the longer your continue such antics (I Can Defeat ISIS After My Union Busting Tactics In WI) – Mitt Romney might just do yet another flip-flop and jump back into this GOP ragtag race and go for the more even-tempered presbyterian/methodist vote and we could have a 3-way tie come August in 2016 at the GOP Convention between Jeb Bush, Scott Walker & Mitt Romney.  Now that would be some “trifecta” for tv viewing.

.

BOTTOM LINE:  Hillary, going away, in November-2016 – but the GOP will keep us heartily entertained all through this thing!

.

The men in the grey flannel suits.  That’s how the 2016 GOP presidential contest is shaping up to be.

.

Jeb Bush has all but declared his candidacy and is no heart throb, particularly among the Tea Party adherents.  He has enough familial and grapevine support to make serious inroads on a presidential campaign in 2016.  But does anyone really have the stomach for “another” Bush.  And in any event, Jeb has never really passed the “conservative” litmus test set by the base (wingnuts) of the present-day GOP.

.

The “JEB” is a lackluster personality that is better suited for an administrative role or corporate position.  He’s not particular photogenic and there is simply no “sizzle” in this guy – either visually or in his public speaking.  He might make a good vice-president.

.

Enter – Scott Walker, the GOP governor of Wisconsin.  He is by most standards solidly conservative, having gone head to head with public sector unions in Wisconsin and stripped them of collective bargaining rights.  He’s also doing a very admirable job at cutting back on education spending and on social programs.  On voting rights his legislature passed a draconian voter I.D. law that was soon afterwards overturned by an Appellate Court.

.

However, like the “JEB”, Walker has no “sizzle” or immediate appeal beyond his own region of the country.  Photogenic he is not.  Wooden-like sums up his speaking and public performance.  And outspokenness is nowhere to be seen.  That is amply demonstrated by his nonanswer answer today as to whether or not President Obama really loves this country.  The best that Walker could do was to say that that was not his concern and that Pres. Obama was in a better position to answer that question.  What gumption the man has.  What open candor and unflinching forthrightness.  NOT!!  But like the “JEB”, Walker might make a good vice-president.

.

There you have it.  The leading front-runners of the 2016 GOP presidential sweepstakes will make solid vice-presidents.  That leaves that party with the stark fact that, like it or not, they don’t really  have anyone, anyone at all that is of actual, perceptible presidential timber.  Romney at least looked and dressed the part and spoke in presidential cadences.

.

I’m afraid the GOP is better off having someone heretofore unthought of coming to their rescue in sufficient time and carrying the banner in 2016.  But who?  Dick Cheney?  Chuck Norris?  Clint Eastwood?  Bruce Willis?  Ed Harris?  Harrison Ford?  Judge Judy?  Christie Brinkley?  How about the blonde bombshell Fox TV News Host Megyn Kelly?

.

Okay – let’s just cut to the chase.  The GOP might as well nominate Tiny Tim because they don’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of reclaiming the White House.  A party that has a hard time funding something so vital to our nation’s security such as Homeland Security (precisely what is happening this week – as this agency runs out of funds by next Saturday) that party is hard-pressed to muster up a political campaign worthy enough to expect to reclaim the White House!

.

Dearly beloved, we are gathered here to pay our respects to the late party known as the GOP.  Let’s stick a fork in it, put it up on the funeral pyre and set it atorch.

PALIN:  Good Evening – I’m Sarah Palin & Welcome To My “Discover America” Radio Show.  We Invite Red-Blooded Americans Who Believe In Freedom & Liberty & Have Pulled Themselves Up By Their Bootstraps.  Tonite, I’m honored to have as my guest —- the PaulRevereRides Guy —- & He Sounds Like A Real Freedom Fighter And A Warrior For Liberty.  In other words, a true Patriot – Not Some Liberal/Wacko BloggerSphere Socialist/Commie Pinko.

.

Well Mr. RevereGuy –  Welcome To My “Discover America” Radio Show – Broadcasting Live From Beautiful, Lovely, Downtown Wasilla, Alaska.

.

REVERE GUY:  Madam — I’m delighted to be here.  Thanks for having me.

.

PALIN:   I’m sorry, but I haven’t actually had time to read any of your blog posts – (PaulRevereRides.Com & RoughRiderz-RADIO) but I know you’re a real patriot and a firm believer in the Constitution and its strict interpretation!

.

REVERE GUY:  Madam —  I can fill you in a little bit on some of my web articles regarding you —> I have the following:  (1) GOP – Be Done With It & Just Run Palin Again With Rick Santorum – “Crash & Burn”;  (2) Sarah Palin – “Waterboarding Is How We Baptize Terrorists”;  (3) SARAH PALIN 2.0 — A SOUSED POLITICAL SLUT GASSED UP + GASSBAGGING ON FAST FOOD MINIMUM WAGE ISSUE!;  (4)  SARAH PALIN: AMERICA’S “SWEET-HEART” ===> HAS NOW GRACIOUSLY GIVEN NEW “MEANING” TO MY BLOG SITE AND NOW IS FITTINGLY EMBEDDED IN THE MASTHEAD!; (5) VIDEO – SARAH PALIN “SPEAKS” (“SQUEAKS”) TO FACEBOOK (PHASEBOOK) – TO HER “MINIONS” (ONIONS) – 1-12-11; (6) VIDEO – SARAH PALIN EXPLAINS HOW TEA-PARTY MOVEMENT WILL BE EMBRACED BY MODERATE/INDEPENDENT REPUGS – Ha-Ha-Ha!

.

PALIN:  Wait a minute, buster —> what kind of trash-talk are you engaging in — you’re the RevereGuy —> Paul was a gentleman and never talked bad about a lady.  What kind of America-Hating, Traitor are you?

.

REVERE GUY:  I’m a take-no-prisoners, Liberal/Progressive, missy —> a borderline socialist/anarchist, sweetie.  I’ve come to shove this radio show right up your baracudda thighs!  And barring that, I’ll say the 7 words that George Carlin says can’t be said over the air – on Radio.  That’ll drop the curtain on your two-bit radio show, missy.  Let me remember:  oh, yes, the 7 words —->  shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, and tits.  And for a 1966 Lennie Bruce performance – there were 2 extra words:  ass, balls.

.

Well, I guess that about covers that territory.  I think you’ll be hearing from the FCC shortly – baracudda lady!  Frankly, I think you secretly delight in such naughty talk – after you’ve drank about 7 shots of Jack Daniels, you skank!  —> white-trash Wasilla Skank, if I may add – & I do so wholeheartedly ADD!

.

PALIN:  Why do you hate America?  Why do you hate true Patriots?  Why do you hate the Constitution?

.

REVERE GUY:  Why do you hate smart people in America?  Why do you hate empiracle data?  Rationality?  Logic?  Science?

.

PALIN:  You’re just a hater.  I bet you can’t even hunt.  Huh, I betcha.  For sure, by golly!  Therefore & So – you can’t even hunt.  You’re just a little liberal runt.  Ha-ha-ha.  Science, Schmience.  All this nonsense about the big bang theory.  All true Christians know that God made it all in 7 days and on the 8th day while he rested, he made Dinosaurs to keep man company?  Ha.  Bet you didn’t know that, huh?

.

REVERE GUY:  Madam, and I use that term extremely loosely, you’re a bullwinkle’s ass.  I suggest you bend over, grab you ankles and assume that position until the next GOP President.  I must warn you, however, you might develop a severe case of rigor mortis as the estimated waiting time could prove to be interminable!  —>  ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

.

PALIN:  You’re not a real patriot.  You’re a communist sympathizer and a socialist/fascist.  I bet you even eat yogurt and granola.  Oh God, you hate meat — you betcha — you’re one of those pinko-commie vegans.  O-M-G.  Where is my hunting rifle.  I want to get my hands on that damn 30-06 super-automatic, high caliber hunting rifle.  I’ll get you in my scopes, Mister and then you’ll turn Patriot Red.  Ha-ha-ha-ha!

.

REVERE GUY:  I should think that you would be the last person to pass judgment on anyone seeing as how you couldn’t even make it more than half-way into your 1st term as Governor of Alaska.  You sound like a quitter to me toots.  And a Gold-Digger.  You have folks write your books and this Discovery America with Palin has about 35 people out there in cable-tv land.  The only thing you’re good at is bending over and showing that big bulls-eye on your big buttocks.

.

PALIN:  That’s it, I’m going to bring Todd in and he’ll show you what a real man is.  He’ll beat the stuffing out of you Mr. Liberal/Schmiberal Guy.  I bet you can’t even ride a horse and yet you call yourself Revere Guy — you liberals are all alike —  you hate cowboys and pickup-trucks and the Marlborough Man and Big-Time Wrestling, NASCAR, Bingo and Comic Books.  You’re elitist snobs who think there is something good in reading books.  Well, Mister, we’re going to send you back to the 3rd grade after Todd gets through with you.

.

TODD:  What’s up darlin’?

.

PALIN:  Todd, can you show this little America-Hater some Alaskan hospitality and drag his ass behind the snowmobile for a little bit to take some of the starch out of him.

.

REVERE GUY:  Before I go, Sarah —> How in the hell can you see Russia from your back porch?

.

PALIN:   Don’t you know anything?  I just have really good eye sight.  I clean my glasses real good, go up on the roof and squint real hard.  Boy, you’re a real traitor.  I bet you don’t even know about the Constitution, Mr. Smarty-Pants.  Huh???  Like, If enough states get together – they can sort of decide to form their own country.  And, like, if we want, states can apply for political asylum with Mexico and thereby not have to pay taxes into the IRS.  Ha-ha-ha-.  See, I got you.  You don’t really know anything do you?

.

REVERE GUY:  Well, Ms. Half-Ass — I’m delighted to tell you that we’ve audited the books of your radio station and it seems that there is a discrepancy between the end-of-year balance ledgers and the amount of revenue generated during the year.  It seems that there is a sizeable difference – indicating a good bit of skimming going on and we traced that to a meth lab out in the woods, not too far from your house!  We went out there one night and sure enough the crew inside was cooking up another batch of meth for shipment to Wasilla (oh, by the way, Wasilla is the meth capital of the U.S. – along with being the capital for out-of-wedlock teenage mothers).  If memory serves me correct, I believe Bristol was one of those, correct?

.

Well, well — I guess I’ve done what I can do for the moment.  So, I’ll take my leave for now.  But, I have to advise you that the Sheriff’s deputies are parked just down the street.  So you might want to just go straight home and they can conduct further questioning there – discretely.  We might even be able to wisk you out of town and put you in a far north Canadian mining town for the duration until this all blows over.

.

Well, Thanks for the invite.  It’s been a real hoot!  But I’ve got to scoot!

.

THE END!

I really have tried to reconcile myself with the lackluster “participation” rate among voters of the Democratic persuasion over the last 25-30 years but it’s time to call a spade a spade.  Trite is not even the word to employ here.  Let’s try “vapid”!

.

To those American Democrats who haven’t vote more than twice in the last 20-30 years, you’re absolutely skank meat.  Funny, you have so much time and energy for reality t.v. shows, waiting in line at the Safeway “slow-line”, that morning/evening commute and yet when it comes time to vote (and I mean, every TWO years, not just every FOUR) you somehow can’t get your own jock on straight and stumble, mumble, crumble to a voting precinct or mail in that damn ballot.

.

Well, I’ve got news for you “fallen” Dems, you’re a cancer on the party and on the nation.  Perhaps the party, while not altering their overall political philosophy, should begin acting more like the asshole GOPers and figure out ways to really f*ck things up, legislatively and actively work to bring to a halt ANYTHING that smacks of a GOP initiative and just take for granted that any legislation with a Democratic bent to it will be as rare as a blue moon.

.

WTF!  The very day of Obama’s inauguration on January 20, 2009 Mitch McConnell and John Boehner were meeting together with other GOPers wherein McConnell simply and directly intoned that the GOP’s prime directive was to stymie any and all legislation coming from the Obama White House.  Horse Shit!

.

You still have those two ass-hats in Congress (Speaker Boehner, Senate Leader McConnell).  Thank you very much “vapid” American electorate.  In large part, you “no-shows” are directly responsible for creating the electoral vacuüm that ushered in the landslide GOP Congressional beat-down in November/2014 with the end result that they control Congress – lock, stock & barrel.

.

They say a friend doesn’t allow a friend to drive drunk.  Well, add to that a corollary:  A friend doesn’t allow a friend to become/remain stupid and lazy.  Not voting is nothing less than an act of sheer stupidity.  It’s a slow motion form of political suicide.  It’s a form of Russian roulette where you are gambling on the odds that your own “particular” situation will remain insulated from whatever bad things happen when GOPers are elected.

.

LOL!  Voting is the core of citizenship and not some “add-on” deal.  If you insist on having “others” speak for you then sooner or later they will dictate to you.  It’s time that more of us actually have the balls to question people who don’t vote and then give them some “dutch uncle” reciprocity.

.

Ultimately, not voting is the very essence of “vapidness” (uninteresting, uninspiring, dull, flat, nothingness).  There’s only so much “latitude” that can be given to folks who DON’T vote.  After a point it needs to be pointed out — BLUNTLY — that those sorts of folks are LOSERS!   The Democratic Party needs to shed the kumbaya approach toward politics and become more warrior-like both with their own flock and the GOP adversary they confront. 

.

Teddy Roosevelt once said:  “speak softly and carry a big stick”.  The GOP is nothing if not overtly implicit in their rhetoric with regards to their adversarial foes (both within and outside their party).  So too, the Democrats need to take up that tact and go tooth & tong after apathetic, nonvoting forces.  It seems that if you turn it into a cultural thing (like the GOP does on everything) then you get real traction.  Therefore, let’s make nonvoting a real cultural litmus test and not treat it like some “in-the-shadows”, unspoken/taboo topic of conversation.  No more FREE PASSES on nonvoting/nonvoters!!!
