Okay Newt, tell us the GOP plan, if there really is one.

Newt Gingrich, that jolly old former Speaker of the House, told a GOP group that the GOP needs to be for something, and not just against things. Then, he told the group what they needed to to go see people and explain their plan. What was the plan? Well, that's just it, he didn't give a plan.

Newt said that the GOP would have to go to town hall meetings and speak to groups that would accept GOP ideas, like business owners and entrepreneurs, and tell them what the GOP could do for them. Okay, that is a GOP strong point, as the GOP wants little to no taxes on the rich and very, very little, if any, business regulations. But Newt, that fewer than 10% of Americans? How would you build the base by getting other people? Well, Newt said that the GOP needed to tell regular people their message of hope rather than despair. He said the GOP needed to show regular people how the GOP plan would help them. So Newt, how does the GOP do that? Oh, he didn't say how the GOP would help most people, just that the GOP needed to tell people that the GOP would help them. Oh, so you want people to hope your plan helps them, rather than despair over the fact that the GOP plan leaves them completely and utterly helpless. Great idea Newt.

Newt Gingrich told the GOP that they need to be for something, rather than against everything. Okay Newt and the GOP, if you really have a plan for everyday people, tell us what it is. What's that? I don't hear anything. Oh, that's right, you don't have one.

Tell me again why the GOP listens to Donald Trump.

Donald Trump gave another interview this weekend and again proved he knows nothing about our government. Can someone tell me again why anyone in the GOP listens to him?

Donald Trump was asked last weekend about GOP Tea Party darling Ted Cruz and where he was born. Saying that he didn't know where Cruz was born, Trump said that maybe he wasn't qualified to be president. When inform that Cruz was actually born in Canada, Trump said the interviewer would to ask Cruz if he was eligible. What? You mean what's good for President Obama isn't good for a Tea Party darling like Senator Ted Cruz? Or do you really know that if either parent is an American citizen, you're an American citizen, no matter where you were born? If that's true, and President Obama's mother was an American, no matter if he was born in Kenya or Hawaii. The same holds true for Ted Cruz, born in Canada, and John McCain, born in Panama. But you can't say that, can you Mr. Trump?

Donald Trump gave an interview this weekend, and showed he either doesn't know what the requirements are to be president, or selectively disregards it when it comes to a black, Democratic-party backed president. Either way Tea Party, can you explain to me again why you listen to him?            

Missouri State Fair should close the rodeo.

I just watched the video of the horrible, despicable action the rodeo clown wearing the "Obama" mask, and heard the words of the announcer. As a person who was born in Missouri, spent 20 year defending Missouri in the Air Force, and now live in Missouri, I want the rodeo closed for the rest of this year's fair, and the announcer barred from ever working as an announcer at any public place in Missouri ever again. And for all those in attendance who cheered for "President Obama" to be trampled by a bull, you should be ashamed of yourself. And if you were there, cheered for the bull, and reading this, let me know where I can meet you. Send me your name and your phone number, and I'll call you. I use a walker, and I'll still find a way to kick your stupid, chicken-shit, pathetic asses. And that's not a threat, that's a promise. Think I'm kidding? You were in a group of people, you coward. I'll stand by what I say and write all by myself. I don't need a crowd for bravery. Obviously, you do.  

Think the GOP can't get dumber or more far-right? Meet Ted Yoho

Every day that I think the GOP can't get any dumber or get any farther right, some Congressman proves me wrong. Now, it Florida Congressman Ted Yoho, who seems to set the new standard for making up facts. I thought it was bad when he said that doesn't believe President Obama's birth certificate and that he isn't an American. I thought it was bad enough that he called the President a racist for a tax on tanning beds. Now, Representative Yoho has given a speech where he states that if Government shut down for a while it wouldn't hurt the country's credit rating. Really? So, when the GOP threatened to shut down the government in 2011, America's credit rating didn't go down? Oh, yes it did! So when any company shuts down for a while reorganizing, it has the same credit rating and gets the same loan rate when it re-opens? Again, of course not. People flock to do business with a company after they've defaulted on their bills, right? Again, not a chance!

It's bad enough when the GOP make up their own facts to back up their belief. But now, the GOP is rewriting facts and data to serve their purposes. And I thought the GOP couldn't get any dumber or farther right.  

CNN and NBC should tell the GOP to go screw itself.

The GOP has told both CNN and NBC that if they run a certain story on Hillary Clinton, they will refuse to have their 2016 candidate debate on their networks. I think that CNN and NBC should tell the GOP exactly where it can stick it. And I do mean EXACTLY. They should tell the GOP that if their candidate doesn't want to debate on their station, fine. Tell them they'll get the Democratic candidate on the air, ask the questions, state where the GOP candidate stands on the issue, and then ask if there's any difference in how the Democratic candidate feels. Think any candidate wouldn't like that format?

The GOP has threatened both NBC and CNN with not having their 2016 candidate debate on their stations if they run a certain Hillary Clinton story. They should tell the GOP to stick that idea where the sun don't shine. And if the Democrats said their candidate wouldn't debate on Fox News because of something they ran, I'd have Fox News say the same thing. Although I think the Tea Party GOP are morons who are attempting to dismantle the federal government, this gets down to the right of the press. Political parties should never dictate terms to the press.  

Automakers should bail out Detroit.

I know it's not an idea that will really fly, but after all Detroit has done for the Big 3 automakers, why can't they now save Detroit. Simply set up an account for the city of Detroit and put $1 or $2 dollars in it for every car that's sold. Want all of America to pay for it? Then, instead of a car costing $16,996, make it an even $17,000. Think any costumer would blink at the extra $4 with the cost of a car now? Put in any interest bearing account, even the small ones that most banks have, and I think the city debt could be paid off very easily and quickly.

Detroit helped make American automakers. It's time for American automakers to return the favor and save Detroit.

Does the GOP know what it's saying?

It seems that whenever anyone in the GOP talks these days, everyone has to just shake their heads, and say, "I can't believe what they just said." I'm not sure the GOP knows what they are saying any more.

When President Obama went out and proposed a bill to lower corporate tax rate, close loopholes, and use the extra money to fund jobs and education, House Speaker John Boehner dismissed it, saying President Obama was simply on the campaign trail giving people money, without even looking at the proposal. Then Speaker Boehner added that if his approval polls were as low as the President, he'd do the same thing. What did you say, Speaker? The President's approval rating isn't good, in the high 40s, but your approval rating and the rating of Congress is at 12%. Do you know what you're saying?

When New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul started getting into their basic pissing contest, Governor Christie said that libertarians like Rand Paul, who believe the federal government should stay out of people's lives, should go see and meet people who have been helped by money from Hurricane Sandy Relief. Senator Paul came beck that it was people like Governor Christie and their "Give me, give me, give me, give me money" attitude that has made our military weak and underfunded. Senator Paul, you're a libertarian, right? Then you don't believe in a strong central federal government or a strong military. Senator, do you know what you're saying?

Texas Senator Ted Cruz said that he hoped the House and Senate GOP wouldn't pass next year's federal budget there was any money in it for the Affordable Care Act. Senator Cruz said that it needed to happen this year because if people got use to the bill, they'd like it and not want it repealed. He then said if the GOP didn't pass a budget and a government shutdown happened, the country would see it was really President Obama's fault. So Senator, you want people not to have the bill so they won't like it, and you'd shut down the government but President Obama would get the blame. Senator, do you know what you're saying?

You know, the GOP keep talking, and I know what they're saying, but I wonder if the GOP knows what it is saying.
