A Bipartisan Moment In Memory Of Senator, Arlen Specter

The voices of reason honors the memory and contributions made to the American Political System by what is truly a dying breed. A Republican/Democrat who knows how to "Compromise" to get things done to the advantage of the American People.

Senator Arlen Specter.

You are greatly appreciated, needed and missed.

A Message To Those Who Don’t See The Significance Of Politics And Voting.

I’ve been where you are.

However, because of the fact that I was raised in a very politically active home, a very politically active time in history; and have a solid knowledge of the history of where I came from, where I am at, and where I want to go in life; even now, when I get those kind of defeatist attitudes about politics; these feelings always seem to disappear.

And I am glad that they do.

Because I am proud to have played a small part in making history on November 4, 2008, by being one of many thousands, who voted for Senator Obama, which resulted in the Legal and Successful Election of the First African American President in the United States of America. Of course, this monumental accomplishment did not just happen. It happened over hundreds of years, with thousands of people making small and sometimes deadly contributions to the causes of Freedom, Justice and Equality.

Millions of people in America were beaten and killed throughout time, in order to make this historical event a reality. And now, just as it has been in the past, each and every time certain groups of people who are not considered equal, makes phenomenal progress towards that end, the dark and evil forces of hatred, (which until the election of President Obama), had been working behind the scenes and underground, seems to resurface with even more hateful vigor then they had before the victory.

Such is the case now with this upcoming presidential election. These dark and evil forces could not stop America from making history by choosing the best man for the job back in 2008, (which just happened to be an African American), so they set out to create a plan to rewrite history by forcing his failure through hatred, greed, racism and every other ism that they could find to attack this president with.

And not only did the level of hatred and racists attacks escalate towards President Obama, but these attacks also escalated against the people who look like President Obama, as well as against those who support President Obama who do not look like him. So, here we are at a point in our history again, where we need people to be as politically active, (if not more so) then in 2008. And it is probably a more so situation because of the new deliberate attempts by these same dark forces, to take away the rights of those who contributed in a major way to the election of President Obama in 2008.

So I am asking you to please consider the fact that even if you don’t see how all of this directly affects you or your family now and in the future, I just want you to look back through our history with honest reflection, because I am sure that if you do, you will realize that voting is important, because the things that happen down here are always influenced by what is happening up there.

And short of a bloody revolution, voting is the only way to make sure that the people up there give a damn about the people down here. Currently, you have 2 major political parties to choose from. One of these parties believes that if you are poor, it’s your own damn fault.

If you are uneducated, it is your own damn fault.

If you are sick, it is your own damn fault.

There is no luck of the draw, no Gene Pool, no Environmental Factors, no Socialization, no Racism, Hatred or Discrimination, and no unforeseen, unpreventable tragedies that can make or break a human being.

Therefore, you should not have any kind of assistance to allow you to rise above any difficult circumstances that may befall you. This is also the party that is trying to take away the right of minorities, students and seniors, (all groups who came out in great numbers to successfully elect President Obama).

The other Party has historically been supportive of Civil Rights, Human Rights, Woman’s Rights, Affirmative Action, (Which is currently being litigated again in the Supreme Court), as I write, and supportive of programs to help the sick, the poor and those citizens in our country who just don’t have the resources, circumstances, connections or knowledge to move ahead.

They at least believe that everyone should have an equal chance to achieve the American Dream, if they have what it takes to achieve it and are willing to work hard for it.

The other party believes that they should have success simply because they are them.

That kind of attitude has never been, and will never be good for you, your family or America, unless you are one of them, which means that you are already rich, powerful and well connected.

If this is not your station in life, and you have any intentions on moving up the ladder of social mobility, through student loans, small business loans, home mortgage loans, healthcare, fair taxes etc.-you may want to go here now and register to vote and get out on November 6, 2012 and cast your vote for Democracy.

Scoring Tonight's Debate

If you are partial to the truth, then Joe beat the youth. If you don’t mind the lies, then Ryan was your guy. If you think it was a tie, bet you can’t tell me why! Stay tuned. There's more excitment to come over the next 29 days. Please get out and vote!

Good Luck America!

Good luck to America tonight. Therefore, I am wishing Joe Biden good luck tonight against Paul Ryan in tonight's debate. President Obama lost round 1, but I do not expect or anticipate that anyone who has the truth, and America's best interest at heart to ever let this happen again. This means you tonight Joe. And you President Obama on October 16th. and 22nd. You both have got to win for America. Please don't let us down now or in the future.

Ann:We Seen It On the Video-We Heard It On The Audio

It's not that we are mad because we lost the debate Ann. We conceeded Mitt Romney's Victory and admitted to President Obama's defeat, (in the debate), on October 3, 2012. What we are doing is simply stating the facts about how your husband won. President Obama lost with facts and truth because of a low level performance. And Mitt Romney won with SHIT presented with high energy. Who besides you and the rest of the Republican Party wants to smell like SHIT for the next 4 years? We are still washing the stench off ourselves that was left behind by that other Republican, (You know the one that you all are ashamed of mentioning). Hey! Don't you know we heard it on the audio. You know we've seen on the video.

Who Won Last Night’s Debate?

The answer to that question depends on who you are, what you believe and the kind of president that you want to lead this country for the next four years, (with consequences that can potentially last for 50 years or more). If you want a president who can lie with a straight face to the American People, even to the point of changing thoughts, ideas and views on very important issues of National Security, Economic Stability, Class, Racial, Sexual Divisions and other important concerns facing the American People, then Mitt Romney is your man. This man changed into a different person last night-different from who he was, even as recent as the beginning of this week. He fell in love with all of the people of America, including the 47% that he showed so much contempt for in a meeting with rich people that he did not know was being recorded. He has no intentions of giving more tax cuts to the rich. He has never ever, considered raising taxes on the Middle Class. He never said that he wants to cut Medicare and other Entitlement Programs. And in one of his most blatant lies of the evening, he accused President Obama of practicing “Trickle-down Economics”, which is something that anyone who has been following politics since the 80’s knows, is a traditional Republican Concept that goes back as far as Ronald Reagan, and as recent as George W. Bush. That’s the ridiculous notion that if you just keep sending money up to the Wealthiest People in this country, (out of the goodness of their hearts and their disinterest in maintaining their wealth and power), they will make sure that those of us on the bottom who are not rich and powerful, will have the same opportunity to achieve the same things that they have achieved in life. Does anybody who is reading this believe that this is true? I hope not! The “Parasitic Elite” do not wish to share anything with people who are not on their level. They never have. And they never will. And there is empirical evidence that proves that this approach to governing the country only benefits those who are on the top. You see, it has been tried time and again for around 30 years and it has never done the things that Republicans claim it will do. It’s all a lie. And the one thing that you can be sure of is: if a person will say or do anything to win an office, they will do anything to keep it. And that includes lying, cheating, stealing and maybe something even worse. So if you want someone who can deliver one lie after another seamlessly, and you don’t mind being lied to, then Mitt Romney won the debate. And if you listen to the Right Wing Talk Machine today, that is all you will hear. You will hear about how poor President Obama’s Performance was last night and how great Mitt Romney’s was. When you hear them putting down President Obama, please remember that they put him down under any circumstances what so ever. Good Job, Bad job, doing the right thing, doing the wrong thing; it doesn’t matter. Also remember that Republican have the utmost respect for a liar. That’s not to say that Democrats don’t-it’s just that Republican do it so much better and far more frequently. They also like Vaginal Probes, Denying Woman Healthcare, Redefining Rape, Imposing Their Religious Beliefs on everyone else, and in Fighting Wars rather they are necessary or not. Now if you want someone who has been consistent with the things that he has been saying and doing for the better part of 4 years and who continued to do so last night during the debate, then President Obama is your man. As far as his level of performance was concerned, I admit that he fell short of my expectations as well. The information was good; but the he could have delivered it with as much passion as possible, (short of being called an Angry Black Man), which is what the Angriest White Man in America, (Rush Limbaugh), called him earlier this week. However, even though he didn’t deliver the polished presentation that I would have liked to see; and that I know he is capable of, his message was consistent with what he has done, what he continues to do and what he says he wants to do in the future for this country. So for me personally, there is no amount of prepackaged lies delivered by a Right Wing Puppet, Elitist, Racist that will persuade me to not vote for President Obama in the upcoming election. If you want honesty, integrity and genuine concern for the American People, (all of them), not just 52%, then President Obama won the debate with facts, consistency and as much truth as a president can afford to share with the American People. Oh! And don’t forget, there are 2 more debates to come. I truly believe that President Obama is going to come out of this the way that he always does in spite of the hatred, sabotage, disrespect and racism that has been constantly aimed at him. On top!

Watch For This Talking Point Tonight During the Debate

This morning, I had made up my mind that I would not check in with Right Wing Media, because I knew that the Smear Campaign against President Obama would begin in preparation for tonight’s Presidential Debates. And I wanted my Left Wing Brain to be clear and unclouded in preparation for this debate. However, I was exposed to this BS anyway. But I must admit that I did expect more of an effective talking point then the one I heard from Joe this morning. My friend turned the TV on and went immediately to “Morning Joe”, which on a normal day, I would check in on to see what the “Moderate” Right Wingers are thinking, saying and planning. But anyway, the talking point went something like this; and once again they used the president’s own words against him, (out of context of course). How can this president go around telling people that Mitt Romney is going to cut your Medicare, when he himself is planning to cut their Medicare? First of all let me clear up the most likely lie that you will hear about Medicare tonight from Mitt Romney. It will be that President Obama cut $716 Billion from Medicare. This is true! And Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan’s Plan cuts approximately the same. This is also true! But here’s the difference: President Obama cut $716 Billion in waste and fraud from the profits of the drug companies, doctors, lawyers and others who were abusing the Medicare System for profit (like the Dialysis Industry); trust me I know. But in the Romney/Ryan Plan, they are going to actually take their $716 Billion from the patients, which will increase their Medical Expenses by about $6000 dollars per year. So President Obama hurt the crooks that were profiting from the system and Romney and Ryan’s Plan is going to hurt seniors, retirees, sick people and others who need the help. You know the 47% of Bums that Romney has no interest in at all. Now back to Morning Joe. He said “How can this president go around accusing Mitt Romney of cutting Medicare when he himself has admitted that he is going to cut Medicare?” Once again, here’s the difference: In order to make Medicare, Social Security and other Entitlement Programs survive longer, tough economic measures must be taken short-term and long-term, to make sure that these and other programs remain solvent for as long as possible, to benefit as many Americans as is humanly possible. But here is what President Obama actually said: I hang on his every word, because he is indeed my hero. In order to make sure Medicare, Social Security and other Entitlement Programs remain solvent¸ we have to make some tough commons sense decisions that will involve sacrifices for everyone. We cannot balance the budget just on the backs of the Middle Class, the Sick, the Elderly or the Poor. Difference: Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan want to balance the budget by taking even more from the Middle Class, the sick, the Elderly and the poor, so that the Rich won’t have to pay more taxes. That’s the truth. The BS they speak are lies based on the actual words of President Obama; twisted. Watch for these techniques tonight and stay alert!
