"The American People Have Spoken"

found this out there....

1. That is exactly what happens when you vote Republican.

Why don't more people understand yet?

[michaelcobb]

29. SO true.

LOL

[stopbush]

2. How come the American people haven't spoken when a D gets elected?

The Rs trot out that bromide whenever one of their candidates gets elected (ref: 2010 midterms), but the same rule doesn't apply when a black man is elected president. Why is that?

3. If Democrats would tell people that they have a mandate, would the MSM air that?

I heard a brief story on NPR yesterday that the Republicans are getting their undies in a bundle about national security "leaks" that paint the Obama administration in a good light. They're very upset about three different "leaks" that MSM outlets have picked up, and they're going to get to the bottom that.

If you listen between the lines, what you'll understand is that the Republicans are listening to every story, reading every article and anything that remotely favors the president will be questioned. It's as if they know that they own the media outlets.

8. You know ...

I really wish more Americans exercised critical thinking skills ...

What the gop is saying is "we are pissed that the media reported, via leaked information or otherwise, that President Obama is succeeding."

I came to understand long ago that don't need the media to report on any president's foreign policy successes. I realize that no matter how much information is aired, leaked or otherwise, the general public will have no idea what our government is doing on our behalf.

But, for me, that's okay because the government's job is to keep us (me) safe from foreign threats. Since nothing has blown up around us (me), I assume that the president's efforts in this area are successful.

I know I'm in the minority opinion on this, as many believe that their analysis of the tidbits of information they think they have is equal to the all the information that the government has, but it really is that simple for me.

11. I'm not sure how this pertains to my post about the MSM. nt

[1StrongBlackMan]

12. Only the first part ...

as it seems no one, in the media or in the right's base, seems to be making the connection of, and/or reporting about, what exactly McCain and others are actually admitting in their complaining ... that the President Obama administrations is actually being effective.

The rest ... well ... chalk it up to a lack of coffee.

[shcrane71]

15. No worries, I've got that lack of coffee thing going on as well.

I just couldn't believe that NPR actually used the words that Republican lawmakers were upset with leaks that "painted the Obama administration in a good light." Every once in awhile, one gets tidbits of the truth from media outlets, and this one showed how the GOP feels it has the right to foreign policy stories that promote their agenda.

I agree with the latter part of your post.

5. Because they cheated

Don't you know that the New Black Panther Party was stood outside every polling station in America pointing AK-47s at white voters trying to vote for the White Man's Party?

14. The Repiglicans want everything the shit salesmen sell them

The propagandists have worked tirelessly selling bullshit to the public.The cruel and mean-spirited among us lap it up.

There might be a Rwanda moment in our future.

[LiberalLovinLug]

17. True, but not if you listen to the MSM

Rebublican voters are stupid. There I said it. They allow their leaders to set this kind of agenda that is basically a War on Citizens (themselves).

Democratic voters can scream all they want in opposition to these things, but the MSM have a mandate to keep everything equal, maybe even leaning conservative. Both parties must be made to look credible. The meme is that they both want whats best for Americans, its just that they both have different ideas on how to do that.

16. That's brilliant. No source?

I hope the artist sets up a CafePress store with that image on products (buttons, stickers, messenger bags, t-shirts) available for purchase.

18. Good idea.

25. Democratic Talking Points

This is how the election should be phrased.

If you vote for Romney then:

Tap our computer messages.

Give us e-coli burgers.

Send our jobs overseas.

Give us dirty air and water so CEO's make more money.

That's EXACTLY what the Republicans stand for and too bad if they don't like what they hear.

This is who they are.

Fabulous cartoon.

27. brilliant.

captures the mammoth walking contradiction that is america and american fascist media propaganda.

28. K & R.

Don't you hate it when a pundit or a politician says this? Who the hell ASKS to be treated like shit or to have other's rights trampled upon for the almighty buck?

The die's been cast . . . we stopped caring about "we" long ago. "Just give me my money and shut up. Don't give that lazy inferior person shit and shut up. I don't care how hard you worked or how many degrees you have; work even longer and harder and shut up. There's no such thing as bad luck or bad breaks and you're a lazy shit for even thinking that and shut up."

I want to think that America isn't the cesspool of assholery that the internet is making me believe it's becoming.
