The right-wing cannot even conduct or take part in honest town hall meetings:
GOP desperation has reached a ridiculous level. I'm sorry to say it's not at all surprising.

GOP Autocracy
Again, Republicans are trying to take away free choice:
Isn't it bad enough that the GOP is trying to take away our rights to obtain an abortion and block choices in same-sex marriage? What's next? A ban on religious freedom?

In the Money
As the economy slowly becomes more solvent, Republicans still can't resist lambasting the President on the merits of his Stimulus Package. They attacked it six months ago, and they are still bemoaning its existence despite their lack of action or direction in providing solutions of their own.
Considering that only about 25% of the stimulus package money has been spent, how can anyone determine the full affects of economic recovery at this point? The right-wing prefers to fan the flames of impatience by suggesting the plan is not working because its impact was not instantaneous.
Why not shed light on the Republican governors who refused stimulus money to extend unemployment benefits? And why weren't the right-wingers on top of the situation when Bush initially drove the economy down the drain with his governing practices, or when he injected the first stimulus package into the economy?
The following New York Times article written by Vice President Joe Biden perhaps explains it best:
Such as:
I feel most informed Americans understand the gradual process of economic recovery, especially the time it will take to chip away at the mountain of debt initiated by former president Bush.

[And] those hardest hit by the recession are getting extended unemployment insurance, health coverage and other help to get through these tough times. The bottom line is that two-thirds of the Recovery Act doesn't finance "programs," but goes directly to tax cuts, state governments and families in need, without red tape or delays.In another NYT article (President Urges Public Patience on Economy), White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel said: "I think the public knows three things: We inherited a total mess; we're working hard on it; and we're not going to get out of it overnight. Here's the deal: The key to what this year is about is rescuing the economy from falling off the cliff and trying to put in place the building blocks of recovery."
I feel most informed Americans understand the gradual process of economic recovery, especially the time it will take to chip away at the mountain of debt initiated by former president Bush.
Dunce on Air
I find it incomprehensible that this idiot is allowed on the airwaves:
Glenn Beck "Obama is a Racist": This president has exposed himself, I think, as a guy, over and over and over again, who has a deep-seated hatred for white people, or white culture. He has a, this guy is, I believe, a racist.
If Beck is the best Fixed News has to offer, they are more seriously damaged and bigoted than everyone realizes. Their "unfair and unbalanced" reporting is glaringly obvious on a daily basis, but when they let loose a moron like Beck they merely deepen their irrelevance as a cable news source.
There's more: After saying Obama has hatred for white people Beck claims: I'm not saying that he doesn't like white people.
I just have one question: Why is this even an issue? The right-wing seems determined to keep distrust between the races alive and thriving.
Beck is a typical Mormon Republican who claims to represent Christian values but feels justified in slurring the President of the United States with baseless accusations and outright lies.
Like most members of the GOP, he seems to have nothing better to do.

Gangrenous Brew
Members of the Democrat and Republican parties have always been known to go after one another. It's a fact of life, and the cornerstone of national politics.
During the eight-year horror known as the Bush Circus, gobs of Democrats went after President Bush on political talk shows and in print media. They had good reason. The man was – and is - an idiot, plain and simple. Almost single-handedly Bush put the United States into the worst economic mire since the Great Depression by giving preference to the wealthiest of citizens in the tax structure. He ignored human suffering in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, and he knowingly gave false purpose to the American people for initiating the war in Iraq.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. However, during the worst moments of Bush Junior's presidency the Democrats may have bemoaned his stupidity but in my recollection they never attacked him with the bitter hatred and divisiveness that the right-wing now heaps upon President Obama on a daily basis.
The anger is very much alive in the GOP, and is akin to a bitter, simmering and gangrenous stew. The right-wing simply won't accept Barack Obama as their President. They are in a constant fervor to try and bring him down, no matter that their political rhetoric, propaganda and non-action hurts the very people they were elected to represent.
At the nucleus of this self-imposed rancor and bitterness – disguised as a difference of political ideals – is a hatred steeped in racial bigotry. I am convinced of it. Very few people will say it aloud, but most members of the GOP are keepers of a fanatical racial split that should have died a natural death a long time ago, or rather never existed in the first place. They mask their prejudice with loudly spoken "differences of opinion and ideals," but they are fooling only themselves and the select uneducated right-wing masses who blindly cheer them from the sidelines.
It infuriates me. People as mentioned above are not true espousers of moral values. Instead, they are non-Christian enablers of mutual denial that manifest their ignorance with repugnant self-righteousness, fanatical behavior and nonsensical dialogue.
My biggest fear is that the most mentally unstable of the extreme right-wing, spurred on by continuous GOP mumbo-jumbo idiolect, might decide to take matters into their own hands by physically harming the President.
On a related note, during the inauguration of President Obama former vice-president Dick Cheney did not rise from his wheelchair for the duration of the event. The formal excuse given was that Cheney injured his back while packing boxes and was unable to walk without pain. What a load of codswallop. The angry and deranged little bastard was simply determined not to show his respect for the newly-elected President by rooting his useless arse in a wheelchair.
To me, the action began a shameful and loathsome derision against President Obama that permeates the right-wing to the present day.

Losers on the Beach
So keeping company with dipstick John Boehner is more important than passing healthcare reform for the benefit of the American people?
Have members of the GOP forgotten that the American people pay their salaries? The right-wing "beach party" is like a slap in the face to people waiting for some small sign that Republicans actually give a damn about the people of this nation rather than chasing their own twisted political agendas.
As they chortle over their self-claimed superiority, I hope they gag on their Mojitos and choke on their beach wieners-in-a-bun.
What a bunch of predictable losers.
