I simply cannot shut my mouth.

I‘m actually not writing a letter to either of the two, however this post is what I would say to them if I were to do so.

Dear Ari and Blake,

I have watched both of you make the case for more Republican rule of this country and today I’m happy to say that the Republican crony style of doing things has been revoked. Where for years you could claim to win the argument, whether it was from economics, to foreign policy you kept thinking you were right. Today the voters went to the polls and told you that you and all your criminal cohorts are wrong, and that it’s time for you to pack up and go home.

I can almost not believe it that we’re going to have the first Black President in US History. I mean I’m an optimist and when talking to family members over the past few months I kept assuring them that too many people are going to go out and vote, making it very hard for criminals such as Karl Rove to steel it, and fortunately I was right. I’m honestly not sure what I would have done if McCain had won, the implications of such a victory would have been devastating for my view of the world.

I have had my gripe(s) with Chris Matthews, and he says a lot of things that are weird to say the least. One of his more infamous comments was the one where he stated that he felt a jolt go up his leg while watching Barack and I’m sure I’m not alone when I say I don’t even want to know what he meant by that. On the other hand, when I turn on the TV and I skip around the channels, I rarely see anyone grilling politicians or surrogates. People that come on TV shows have gotten to used to the fact that the moderator, or host of the show won’t follow up on questions, or will let them get away with just about anything.

This is just a quick post I’m dedicating to Amy Goodman and the whole Democracy Now program. This is the type of journalism this country needs. There is no spin, they always show both sides of the story and it’s free from all the garbage one has to endure while watching TV programs.

At least one good thing has come from Bachmann’s comments on Matthews’ Hardball on Friday, particularly the part where her political opponent Elwyn Tinklenberg has seen a surge of dontations following Bachmann’s appearance. The link still shows donations worth $450,000 but from what I’m hearing in the media this has already risen to 1,000,000. If we have this kind of reaction of Democrats after such hideous remarks, I’m almost hoping for more of this because the American people don’t seem to want to see this type of rhetoric on national television.

Take a close look at this woman and what she said on Friday on MSNBC’s hardball.

It’s people like this that help divide this country. Women like her that are too dumb to grasp the historical context in which they are operating - not that it has anything to do with her gender, there are plenty of male colleagues that aren’t any better than her. How she can look straight into the camera and call for an “expose” on anti-american positions is completely beyond me. How about taking a look at the people that are bankrupting this country and have been doing so for the past thirty years. I hate anyone calling anything anti-american but if I was to do so, wouldn’t bankrupting this country be high on the list of items that could be considered anti-american? Isn’t it utterly anti-american to rip million of people off and steal their pension funds from them? Isn’t it anti-american to promise consumers loans that the lender knows they can’t afford but issues anyway so he can make some money? Are all those items anti-american too?

As far as I’m concerned McCain can pack his bags and go home and finally retire. Nothing coming out of his campaign shines a good light on him and the incidents during recent campaign events are showing that Steve Schmidt and others who are running his campaign simply have nothing left in their toolbox of dirty tricks.

As you can see (I mean hear) in the clip, someone answers to McCain’s statements with a badly audible “Kill Him” and I personally heard another clip where he was called an Arab, and a Terrorist.

Thank you for not mincing words Jack. Nobody looks more awkward than Wolf Blitzer when Cafferty starts calling it as it is.
