Barbara's Daily BuzzFlash Minute for October 5, 2009

BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE

"SEN. JON KYL (R), ARIZONA:... the people in the White House need, instead of being armchair generals themselves, need to consider what the expert has recommended. And it's not just General McChrystal but also General Petraeus... we need to have a surge of troops, as we did in Iraq,..time is of the essence...In the middle of a war, you frequently have to make decisions quickly." Yeah sure, we can see where that split second decision to leave Afghanistan and invade Iraq got us! Don't forget when these Repuglicans are offering up their looney toon advice, that they're the ones who got us all into this mess in the first place, it was their incompetence that brought America to the brink of disaster. So why in hell would anyone want to take their ridiculous advice all over again!

"BLITZER: Is the situation in Iraq.... doomed to failure? So an Iraq in chaos potentially may be even aligned with Iran? So the hundreds of billions of dollars, trillions, maybe, spent and the thousands of U.S. troops killed and injured in Iraq will have been for? RICKS: Will be a lesson that we should have asked these questions back in the spring of 2003." Wolf, why weren't you asking those questions, back in 2003, when it may have done some good, why were you and all the rest of mainstream corporate media so willing to watch George Bush and Dick Cheney leave Afghanistan to aggressively invade Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9/11??? We are where we are today largely due to the fact that MSM aided and abetted the entire Bush/Cheney agenda!

"Holocaust -- 1. destruction of human life -- wholesale or mass destruction, especially of human life" Rep. Grayson was not incorrect when he referred to the 44,000 per year deaths of those who cannot afford health insurance in the United States as a "holocaust." While "popular usage" of the word Holocaust refers to the genocide of European Jews, it also includes "others," and what is occurring right here in the USA is a form of genocide, it's societal genocide of poor people who can't afford healthcare! This was just another Repuglican tactic to attempt to defame the Democrats. Instead of childishly blathering on and on about word usage, the Repuglicans should be doing their part to improve healthcare delivery, to make it more affordable, and to make sure all Americans get the healthcare that is a true reflection of America!

What was that the Repuglicans said about politics stopping at the border??? Obviously that doesn't count when it's a Democrat in office! "The GOP's New Foreign Policy: Undermine American Diplomacy -- • Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) is visiting Honduras in order to support the recent military coup against a leftist president... • Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-OK) will be going to the upcoming climate change conference in Copenhagen, bringing a "Truth Squad" to tell foreign officials there that the American government will not take any action...• House Minority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) traveled to Israel, where he spoke out against President Obama's opposition to expanded settlements....• Rep. Mark Kirk (R-IL) boasted in June that he told Chinese officials not to trust America's budget numbers." Granted these are some of the less than adequate in the brain department Repuglicans, but in the end they do make us all resemble the same boobs that they are with their fooolishness!

"Palin Going Rogue: An American Laughingstock" Sarah Palin all Repuglican and everything embarrassing! She has set the image of American women back so far it will take generations to revive the once proud to be an American woman! As this country is subjected to her ditzy commentary, and her self absorption, we can't help but wonder have the Repuglicans sunk so low that they now have to dig up the dregs to try and find a viable candidate? Have they really sunk this low??? If you think things were bad under George and Dick, just see what a Palin Coronation by the Supremes can do to America.
