(750 posts)Todays politics that works the media is the problem.
Someone out there can create the list of lists of the good or the bad and the ugly.
Guess anyone could say whos list is bigger or smaller trying to develop the argument to win the debate.
But in todays politics to compromise even if it looks bad or appear to agree with the opposing party does not always demonstrate a failed direction.
America with todays Republican Party in control is in the most embarrassing, corrupt, profiteering, swindling, disappointing socially administered time because of wars developed from lies.
Consequently anyone should deduce the most legislation out of Congress in the last twenty years is loaded with flaws, lies, and convoluted amendments ear marked or secretly attached that intentionally decompose the poor and middle class.
That is solid reasoning due to that common sense phrase Pelosi said We dont know what is in the bill till after it is voted makes so much sense now.
Previously I criticized Nancy Pelosi for making such a statement but after further reflection my judgment was wrong and she is so right.
It appears that even to do something simple like raising the budget limit introduced the concept of extortion by the Republican party. The televised Journalistic reporting supported by the mainstream media played a wide open political game in national Journalistic constitutionally antithetical commentaries.
The media failed in its responsibility to call out such a treasonous game. That was a monumental Constitutional shuffle that was total disrespect for the basic poor and middle class values Americans support.
The American media for months tortured the public with wide open doubt with intention by the Republican party to disrupt the government. When it is with decisions with the wars, President Obama again compromised with an eleventh hour surge in Afghanistan. From my view profiteering by the Republican Party was and is the only motivation.
The Republican party for years did with abandonment, did not defend the Constitution. Constantly loading rhetoric with the words of "What the American people want". Actually destroying the fundamentals in freedom through out the Bush years.
Too many times to avoid extortion president Obama had to avoid not only government shut downs, or war decisions compromised with the Republican Party did in good faith with all the consequence in the media hypocrisy and Republican Lies try to do his best.
However, with so many decisions to be made the very consequential actions appear to be what was necessary to avoid shutting down the government, or to compromise other legislation needed to move the country forward, and to avoid war.
America went from gunsn butter to guns n oil, frack heads and pipe liners worse no respect for the health of the country. Sounds like a Bush Bin Laden perfect profiteering business partnership ending.
I don't always agree with Krugman, but this time I will take his side to support his argument. Also don't always agree with President Obama but I am glad I voted for him and not for Romney.
With that said from an Eisenhower Republican and Vietnam veteran.
