Samuel L. Tells Obama Supporters to "Wake the F#ck Up!"

I'm sure Sam will take some heat for this pro-Obama ad. The language, and not so subtle imagery, will be considered by many as offensive. But after all, it is Samuel L. But this ad is no less true or powerful.

Yeah, We were all on a mission in 2008! We rallied. Canvassed. Argued. Wore Obama-gear. And channeled Malcolm to ensure that Obama would win "by any means necessary".  We did everything we could to get the first Black president of the United States elected. And we did it with a deliberate vengeance that could not - would not - be stopped. But THIS is not 2008. It is 2012 and the stakes are much higher than having Lt. Dan and Ice Queen occupy the Oval Office. The failing economy, stock market crash, housing foreclosures, and impending financial doom - were far less electrifying than the historical journey on which we were about to embark. If you truly think that this election doesn't matter, then do nothing. but when the government starts making decisions about your body - then, like Samuel L., I can only say "shut the phuque up"! When your taxes go up because you can't any deductions or that earned income credit vanishes, then like Samuel L., I'm going to say "shut the phuque up"! When you find yourself trying to find the $6K to take care of your elderly parent or loved one because that Medicare voucher ain't cutting it, I'm going to say - like Samuel L., ""shut the phuque up"! And when Willard and crew show you just good a Commander and Chief he is when he pisses off one of our allies - like the UK, I'm going to say - like Samuel L. "shut the phuque up"! But if you care about what your life will be like under a Romney-Ryan administration, please "WAKE THE PHUQUE UP"!!! And "SAY HELL NO MUTHA PHUQUERS" and get out the VOTE on NOVEMBER 6!

Damn, Willard! You Got the Cooties?

Cartoon Credit

Cooties is, in American childlore, a kind of infectious disease. The term may have originated with references to lice, fleas, and other parasites. A child is said to "catch" cooties through any form of contact, proximity, or touching of an "infected" person. Often the "infected" person is someone who is perceived as "different" and bears some kind of social stigma.

Since Willard (aka Thurston Howell) let us hear his true colors, Republicans are jumping off his would-be coattail in drouths. The only folks still hanging in there are Rush Doughbaug and his Fox News-subsidized campaign team. Even Lyan Ryan, his running mate, called his statements inarticulate. WOW! What has this world come to when articulate (in any form) is used to describe someone of that ilk?

With his campaign becoming cash poor, it will be interesting to see how many of  his deep pocket donors are still willing to pull out the old checkbooks to write more 6, 7, or 8-figure checks. It is doubtful that even the Adelson-types want their fortunes to be intermingled with a series of gaffs by this candidate which could threaten their abilities to do business with the masses...the 47%. In addition, buying this election for this candidate might result in a financial duping that would make Bernie Madoff appear to be just a small time hustler.

Yep! Willard has contracted a strain of political cooties that I suspect has the McCain folks thinking Palin wasn't that bad. Here's just a partial list of his supporters a month ago who are now swearing that they have not been touched by the Willard Cootie Bug:  

Tim Pawlenty, national co-chairman of Romney's presidential campaign and former Minnesota governor, is resigning to lobby for and become the new president and CEO of the Financial Services Roundtable on Nov. 1. Guess he couldn't wait a couple of days to start a new job. Source.

Mark Meadows, a Republican House candidate in North Carolina, said he was "concerned about all 750,000 people" in his district and that Romney didn't call him for advise before making 'those comments'. We understand. Obama's leading your guy in NC by nearly 5 points . Source.

Gov. Susanna Martinez wants to make sure that the "safety net" is available for the folks in her state because "New Mexico has a lot of people at the poverty level.But they count just as much as anybody else". Wonder if she still believes, like she said at the convention, that she and Willard share a core belief that the promise of America must be kept for the next generation. Source.

Linda McMahon, Senate candidate from Connecticut, stated that she disagrees with "the insinuation that 47% of Americans believe they are victims who must depend on the government for their care". But a year ago, she echoed Willard's sentiment that everybody (the 47%) should pay their fair share of taxes. Source.

Scott Brown, from Massachusetts, made it pretty clear that he is not 'down' with his state's former governor. Says Willard's views of the world are not his and that being on public assistance is not a circumstance anyone truly wants to find themselves in. Yeah...but wasn't/isn't he the darling of the Tea Party? What happened? Oh! Willard happened. Source.
George Allen, hoping to be the next senator from Virginia, says that his 'point of view' is far different from Willard's. According to George, "They don't look at themselves as victims. They want a government that reflects their values and gives them the opportunity to reach their aspirations." George, you a Rhino? Source.

Dean Heller, senatorial candidate from Nevada, wants everyone to know that his working- class family - growing up with 5 siblings, an auto mechanic father, and cafeteria cook mom - gave him "a very different view of the world" than Willard's . Just a regular kinda guy. Hmm...I'm STILL voting for Shelly! Source.
 
I strongly suggest that Willard finds some way to inoculate himself from any further infestation of the cooties by October 3 or else the entire RNC will probably find a way to have him quarantined until November 7.

Willard! There Are Rats in the Basement!

"With less than two months to go before Election Day, I would normally speak to a gathering like this about the differences between my and my opponent’s plans for our military and for our national security. There is a time and a place for that, but this day is not it." Source

On the day when all of America was focused upon the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Willard seemed to have forgotten that today was not about him! On the day when most Americans reflected in solemn remembrance and prayer for the thousands of people who lost their lives on that fateful day, Willard could not forgo the opportunity to remind us all of something far less important - him! On the day when Americans honored our Treasure who fought and continue to valiantly fight for our freedom and democracy, Willard attempted to use this to make sure his laundry list was checked.

On the day when Democrats and Republicans united and pledged to dispense with the politics in consideration and tribute to those who died and in consideration for those who loved them, Willard found it necessary to remind us of "the differences". More divisiveness, once again. 

Shame on you, Willard Mitt Romney! Shame on You!

Perhaps, Willard had once again gone off-script. Or perhaps, he knew exactly what he was saying. No doubt, he will provide an inane retort blaming the media for attempting to make something out of nothing; because after-all you never really get out of campaign mode even when you promise to.

We all know Willard lies. His lies are very well chronicled by the fact checkers to whom his campaign will not be dictated to. But, one might certainly say that all politicians lie or tell half truths. We have come to expect it. So no big deal. But, REALLY to go back on YOUR WORD - YOUR PLEDGE - to hold off on the political campaign rhetoric for just one day is simply unconscionable.

I just wonder, if Willard's word is not his bond on something so simple, so easy as to not campaign on the anniversary of events that changed us all, how can he be trusted to keep his word to Americans or our allies?

Hey! He's just appealing to his base, one might say. Yes, I get it. But, I caution Willard to remember that there are rats in the basement and one of them is just might be named "Tea Party Ben".
