Right Pundits

What a load of wishful thinking.

Some pundits say one thing while another group looks at it from the opposite perspective. One thing is for sure…

In other words- “I’m going to dump on pundits and then add my pundit opinion into the pile just like everyone else.”

Obama’s political capital is slipping by the minute. Obama’s coattails have hurt his party’s cause since coming into office. Heck, even Gordon Brown bit the dust.

Yeah, Obama is so bad his political capital is useless in England!! Especially if you ignore that Gordon Brown came to power before Obama did and Obama never endorsed Gordon Brown. I can’t believe that Obama wasn’t able to swing a foreign election in the way that Shannon Bell says he must have tried to!

(On the other hand, his “political capital” seems to have pull in Afghanistan…)

Obama’s coattails had a negative effect in… Pennsylvania and Arkansas.

Yes, Pennsylvania, where the former Republican was defeated by the “legitimate” liberal Democrat. Victory: liberals.

Arkansas, where again the more liberal candidate blocked the more right-wing one from a majority. Victory: liberals.

And of course let’s not forget Rand Paul’s decisive win in Kentucky.

Yes, that was a real decisive defeat for… uh, another republican?

Of course, if you look at pure number of votes in KY, more Democrats turned out in the primary to vote for Jack Conway than Republicans did to vote for Rand Paul. So I wouldn’t start measuring any drapes yet.

The bottom line is this; Obama’s political capital after his election was spent fast and furious on his radical left-wing agenda and now there’s nothing left for the dems who supported him.

You’re drawing the wrong conclusion. The problem isn’t that Obama’s “radical left-wing agenda” is turning off voters. It’s that he isn’t perceived as left-wing at all by the left wing. Blanche Lincoln’s failure, as you rightly point out, was a result of her poor performance in the health care debate. These were LIBERALS voting her down, saying she was running interference for Republicans and took out the public option. In other words, she was not liberal enough. The same is clearly true of PA- that Spectre was clearly not a liberal, and while KY had a big tea party victory, that doesn’t really reflect much on what’s going to happen in the general election. That’s all GOP-on-GOP politics.

Finally, I noticed you didn’t mention anything about the PA results in the special election for Murtha’s seat. Mark Critz, the democrat, won despite lots of money poured in from the GOP. That makes 7 out of 7 special elections won by Democrats.

Well the name of the site is Right Pundits. Is it not?

Me, nice try.
But the fact is that theres a referendum on incumbent liberals taking place whether you like it or not.

“The problem isn’t that Obama’s “radical left-wing agenda” is turning off voters.”

Yeah it is.
The majority of Americansare downright pi$$ed at the radicals responsible for all the takeovers, bailouts, growth in govt.,bills shoved down our throats and totally fabricated claims against the Arizona bill, cap and trade, regulating the internet, racial pandering and fear mongering ontop of outspending any previous administration in only 18 months.
“Radical” is an understatement.
The people have seen nothing but radical sht since the one waltzed into office and they’re scared.
As it stands according to all reputable polls the majority of the country trust republicans on the budget and national security more than they do moonbats

Me you’re ignoring the facts of each race. Blanche Lincoln is in a runoff because she voted for Barry’s healthcare bill.

She’s in a runoff because liberals were EXTREMELY frustrated with her conservative bent. Because of her, we don’t have a public option. We liberals are upset that she was the one who watered down the bill so much that it sucked by the time it passed.

Arlen Specter lost because he miscalculated Pennsylvania voters. He thought he’d lose as a Republican, but turns out he lost anyway

Again, he lost to the more liberal candidate. He was perceived as being a DINO and a totally insincere one at that. Obama did support him, probably in a deal for votes he needed to pass HRC, etc. Again, Obama is a centrist candidate. BARELY to the left. He’s more to the right of Nixon and what would have passed for Republican even 10 years ago or so.

What you conveniently leave out is that the special election was won by Murtha’s aide Critz for a couple reasons. One, he ran as a conservative democrat railing against big government Barry and Washington. And secondly, that district is loaded with union dems tailor made for Murtha all these years.

Really? Because those “union dems” voted for McCain in ‘08. The GOP tried to make it about hating Obama, but it didn’t work. Critz won on jobs and the constituants’ love for Murtha.

I hope that libs like you continue to fool yourselves into thinking that Obama is having trouble because he’s not left-wing enough. You’ll wake up in November wondering what happen to that huge majority we just had?

We’ll see. I think you right-wingers have deluded yourself into thinking your extreme position is carried much wider than it is. You’ll gain seats in both the house and senate, but considering its a midterm election, you should be doing much better than you are, and the chances of flipping either the House or Senate are not likely.

But again, we’ll see. My question is, if the GOP doesn’t do as well as you think they will, will you “Remember November” come December? Or will you guys ever admit that there is no “taking your country back”. It’s all forward from here on out. The 1950s are dead and gone.

“The problem isn’t that Obama’s “radical left-wing agenda” is turning off voters.”

Yeah it is.
The majority of Americansare downright pi$$ed at the radicals responsible for all the takeovers, bailouts, growth in govt.,bills shoved down our throats and totally fabricated claims against the Arizona bill, cap and trade, regulating the internet, racial pandering and fear mongering ontop of outspending any previous administration in only 18 months.

The only thing really worth discussing there in that lineup of fantasies is the “taking over the internet” line, which you would think, given this is a right-wing blog, you would see right through.

The Internet “takeover” (aka “network nuetrality”) is a clear case of GOP doublespeak. If you really think that allowing ISPs to tier Internet connectivity– that is, if you think CHANGING CURRENT PRACTICE so that you have to sign up for the “Right Wing Internet Package” that gives you access to littlegreenfootballs (is that still right wing?) and rightpundits.com– if you think that is freedom, but maintaining the rule of neutrality with respect to Internet destinations is censorship.. if you truly believe Hannity and Glenn Beck (who are so obviously shilling for big Internet Carriers that it isn’t funny) that is government control, then you are SO ass-backwards I don’t know what to say.

The ONLY reason– and I don’t want to get too offtopic here, but micky brought it up– the only reason the right is now anti-Network Nuetrality is that it is a pro-corporate profit, anti-free speech issue, so the GOP has to embrace it. There is no decent philosophical basis by which any right winger (or left winger) would advocate for censorship of the Internet by companies.

Especially a small site like this one, which would be the first to be shut out for most users as soon as the giant corporations get to black out parts of the Internet. When this happens, you’ll either be charged more for rightpundits.com, redirected to MSNBC.com (or whomever your cable provider chooses as its “partner”), or simply get a “This website is not a part of your current Internet package” message.

Network neutrality is a simple regulation for Internet companies to keep you free to access any site you want. It says that ISPs must not darken parts of the Internet that it doesn’t approve of– you will always get the Internet, the whole Internet, and nothing but the Internet.

The ISPs want to make deals with content providers and turn the Internet into a tiered cable-TV like system. A Network Neutrality law won’t let them. It’ll allow sites like rightpundits to be available to anyone and everyone who wants to see it.

And on that, I’ll stop.

I want to commend all of you for working so hard and being so strong at helping the whitehouse and congress begin to address our U.S. and Global healthcare crisis. You have been AWESOME! my fellow Americans and peoples of the World. America and the World is better and safer for it. My greatest pride is the knowledge that I am one of you. And that you really get it. You really understand the importance of it all.

There are some potentially very good things in the healthcare legislation. Especially with the reconciliation fix’s. The Democrats, Bernie Sanders and the Whitehouse did a GREAT! job of fighting to produce the best healthcare legislation that they could. They have earned all our strong support. And we should give it to them.

But it was your relentless pressure and hard work that made the difference. Whatever good comes from this healthcare legislation, America and the peoples of the World will have each of you to thank. You were smart, creative, courageous and relentless. You fought together for the best legislation possible. And when you had to, you fought alone. No matter who stumbled and fell you continued to push and forge ahead. Fighting for the lives and health of the American people and the World. YOU SHOULD BE PROUD OF YOUR-SELVES

It may come to pass that future generations will look back on us and say that we were ALL Americas Greatest Generations. And that healthcare reform was our finest hour. You should be proud of our leaders President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader Reid and the many other Democratic and independent fighters for the people in congress. They proved them-self worthy of the leadership of a GREAT! PEOPLE.

But we are not done yet. This was just the beginning of healthcare reform, not the end. WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES, ARE NOT! divided on healthcare legislation. The vast majority of you have been consistently crystal clear that this legislation does not go far enough. You want a strong Government-run Public Option CHOICE!! available to everyone on day one. And you want it NOW!

YOU MUST NOT ALLOW AN INDIVIDUAL MANDATE TO STAND WITHOUT A STRONG GOVERNMENT-RUN PUBLIC OPTION CHOICE! AVAILABLE TO EVERYONE.

WE THE PEOPLE have been crystal clear that we want an end to dependence on for-profit healthcare and the for-profit proxies called private for non-profit healthcare. The American people want the CHOICE! of a strong Government-run Public Option to replace their need or dependence on healthcare providers whose primary motivation is profit. Rather than providing the highest quality, easiest accessible and most affordable medically necessary healthcare possible. This is what the rest of the developed World has. And the American people want it too. They want healthcare ASSURANCE! Not, for-profit health insurance. And they want it NOW!

Now is the time to continue the push for a strong Government-run Public Option CHOICE! available to everyone that wants it on day one. Rationally it’s clear what we have to do to get this done. SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATS that supported you with a Public Option choice, and REMOVE as many republicans as you can. Not one republican in congress was willing to step across the isle to support a strong Government-run Public Option CHOICE!! available to everyone on day one. NOT ONE! Let no candidate prevail this November that does not support a Strong Government-run Public Option.

47,000 AMERICANS die each year from lack of healthcare. 120,000 die from treatable illness that don’t die in other developed countries. Hundreds of thousands of you are dieing from medical accidents in a rush to profit. And Millions of your are injured. Millions more are driven into bankruptcy. All for the privilege of paying two to three times as much as any other people in the developed world for healthcare. HOGWASH!

Additionally, tens of thousands of you and your children were killed and millions sickened and injured from a terror attack with H1N1 (swine flu). Released on the American people and the World by the for-profit healthcare industry. All in an attempt to panic and frighten you into accepting the oxymoronic criminal enterprise of private for-profit healthcare (The most costly, deadly, dangerous, and disgraceful product sold in America). H1N1 is still sickening people and killing them. Especially children, the young and the middle aged. And there will be a third wave. These are the terrorist you need to worry about the most. Even the so-called international terrorist would not do something so INSANE! But greed driven medical profiteers would and did.

Apparently as far as republicans in GOVERNMENT are concerned, YOU! my fellow Americans – CAN JUST DROP DEAD! Including their own family members. Fools!… Hundreds of thousands of you, and possibly millions of you will die from the long-term effects of your infection and poisoning with H1N1.

So my fellow Human Beings. Rest-up, Take good care of the basics (Balanced nutrition, hydration, exercise, rest and POSITIVE emotional supports). Then wade back into the FIGHT! for a strong Government-run Public Option CHOICE! available to everyone on day one. Drug re-importation, Abolishment or strong restrictions on patents for biologic and prescription drugs. And government controlled and negotiated drug and medical cost. You must take back control of your healthcare system from the Medical Industrial Complex. you MUST do it NOW! This is a matter of National and Global security. There can be NO MORE EXCUSES.

God Bless You My Fellow Human Beings. I’m glad to know of you. And proud to be one of you.

See you on the battle field.

Sincerely

jacksmith – WorkingClass
