Last night we saw a new debate of the Republican Party. With few exceptions they were a bunch of buffoons. When I say that I mean literally. Let us look at the meaning of the word buffoon:
1. a person who amuses others by tricks, jokes, odd gestures and postures, etc.
2. a person given to coarse or undignified joking.
That fits perfect the candidates for the Republican Party. They talk about invading or attacking countries around the world, to keep on increasing the defense budget, crying foul at the fact that the Super Committee failed in its negotiation and thus 1.3 trillion in cuts will start as of January of 2013, half of it coming from defense, the Republican Party’s favorite cow.
Now let us look at the Super Committee, it was a concept of Congress for their unwillingness to negotiate and reduce the budget by over 4 trillion in the next 10 years, and the only reason the Super Committee failed is because Republicans are so obsessed with protecting the income and taxes of the top 1% of income earners that they will allow the country to go to hell in a hand basket. 67 % of the U.S. population believe that the wealthy should pay higher taxes.
Now going back to the debate, it is really worrisome to watch these comedians and think that they may be a possibility for one to become the next president.
The only one with some senses is one that will not win the nomination, Governor Huntsman. He says that the only way of maintaining a large military is based on our financial picture. We are on the brink of bankruptcy, and the main reason is because we exported all the technologies and manufacturing jobs overseas, based on lack of incentives in the tax code passed by Ronald Reagan in the 80s, reduction of taxes for the wealthy, passed by Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush, who have only hurt the country, by eliminating money that was being invested in education and research.
The U.S.A. is no longer the number country. Unless we accept that for a fact we will not deal with the issues we have as a country. We are like the alcoholic or drug addict who says that he controls the drink and drugs he or she consumes. This is a joke.
These candidates talk about privatizing the TSA (Transport Security Administration), not that I am a big fan of them, but the last time that we had private security at the airport, that was making five or 6 dollars an hour was on 09/11/01. Is that what we want to go back to? They want whoever replaces the TSA to do racial profiling. That is another way of discrimination.
These candidates are so out of sync with the majority of the country, just like the rest of the Republican Party, that they will say and do anything to please the right fringe of the country.
The next election unfortunately will not be a choice of the best candidate but a referendum on Obama’s performance, and that is what so worrisome to consider that one of these ignorant, multi-position, fanatic group ofjokerscould be the next commander in chief.
