BARBARA'S DAILY BUZZFLASH MINUTE

"Lieberman: I'll Filibuster Public Option With GOP," a friend who attends the same Synagogue in Washington, D.C. as Joe Lieberman once told us "Lieberman is a weasel, he really doesn't give a damn about the American people he's only out for himself'" and Lieberman is proving that statement every day he stays in office! He's certainly not the moral conscience he's pretended to be, not voting for a bill with the "public option" just proves what a selfish louse he really is!!! It's disgusting how these money hungry fear mongers try to make it sound like everything they do is for the good of the country, when the only thing their actions benefit is the money they receive from the lobbies whose only interest is ultimately profit! "Update Lieberman's home state of Connecticut is home to many insurance companies, including Aetna. Over his career, Lieberman has accepted $2,395,369 in donations from the health sector and $1,033,402 from the insurance industry." And that's how to buy a United States Senator!

Going back a little one can see why Repuglicans are willing to do anything to regain power -- starting with Dick Cheney! Take a look at what "no bid" contracts can do for powerful Repuglicans!! "the man who was secretary of defense in 1991 was later himself awarded a choice position: CEO of Halliburton. His name: Dick Cheney. The Halliburton gig, from 1995 to 2000, was a cash cow for Cheney. During his final 8 1/2 months on the job, he pulled down a salary of $806,332 and collected another $100,000 in benefits. And, mind you, all this was occurring while he was directing George W. Bush's search for a running mate. Not only did Halliburton not seem to mind that its CEO was moonlighting as a headhunter, it gave Cheney a $1.5 million bonus. But that was cookie jar money compared with what Cheney pocketed when Bush made him his running mate. Cheney then sold his stock options and pocketed another $22 million and change." No wonder Cheney's out and about trying to keep war going -- it's the money stupid, and the taxpayers are paying every single dime that adds up to those millions for an unending war! And you thought it was to keep America safe -- HA! Cheney is "dithering" in order to keep the cash flowing!

"Taking Responsibility Chris Christie Style" If you're a Repuglican "responsibility" is deny, deny, deny and if that doesn't work then lie, lie, lie! And what do you think he'll do if he's elected Governor??? God help New Jersey if that happens! Hey Christie, you people are the most hypocritical, disgusting trolls trodding around on American soil!

* * *

Another Repuglican protest, and a whole lot of Repuglican lies! "GOP Honors Tea Party Marchers -- And Inflates Their Numbers -- Rep. Tom Price (R-GA) and 75 other House Republicans have introduced a resolution 'expressing gratitude and appreciation to the individuals and families who participated in the Taxpayer March on Washington on September 12, 2009' -- and claiming that the Tea Party march drew many, many times more protesters than it actually did." How can these people call themselves Christians with a straight face???

* * *

Hmm, recently saw a picture of the newest "tea party marchers" and a more than slightly overweight girl carrying a sign that said, "I'd rather go to bed supperless than rise in debt," the sign also touted "Freedom Works"!

Now the girl carrying the sign looks as though she's never ever gone "to bed supperless" and wouldn't go without a meal even if the national debt was double what it is today, as for Dick Armey, from the looks of his girth he hasn't missed supper, lunch, breakfast, dinner, or snacks! While there may be some humor in all this, there is a dark side, a sad side, a tragic side to all these so called "tea party" protests, it's no party for the people who really do go to bed hungry, people who really can't afford healthcare, people who really do die because they can't afford health insurance and that is no laughing matter. "I'd rather go to bed supperless" is easy enough to say for someone who's never really ever missed a meal!!!

notice the similarities

between prose styles if not content:

 

In reality, HHS has no idea how many LGBT seniors exist. No one does! The movement is only a few decades old, and people who are 80- or 90-years-old didn’t grow up in a culture where it was acceptable to identify with this lifestyle.

Of course, the real tragedy here–apart from the unnecessary spending–is that, given the risks of homosexual conduct, few of these people are likely to live long enough to become senior citizens! Yet once again, the Obama administration is rushing to reward a lifestyle that poses one of the greatest public health risks in America. If this is how HHS prioritizes, imagine what it could do with a trillion dollar health care overhaul!

 

This is from a virulently anti-gay, rightwing relgious group. I find the comparison between it and your writing style stunning.
