Congratulations?

Congratulations to the far right's propaganda machine, the world's most powerful, for its immensely successful campaign to transfer the blame for the previous eight years to the Democrats in 2010. It summarily dismissed its culpability of instigating the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression and transferred it to 2010.

However, the blame for the recent election in Massachusetts can be laid at the feet of Democrats, mainly Senators Lieberman and Dodd of Connecticut, Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Lambreiu of Los Angeles; even Reid of Nevada (although he has performed remarkably as the Senate leader.) Their greedy grasps for billions in their states prolonged the debate on health care at least six months, which led up to Senator Brown.

It is understood that the Republicans would use every tactic available to block and prolong the health care debate, but the Democrats could have passed that bill last April or May had it not been for the so called leaders noted above. The machinations of this Congress reminded me of a term used when I was in Dade County years ago: Mole. Anyone coming from Cuba could be a mole-spy for the communists. Could Lieberman be a Republican mole?

It is ironic that the Republicans call anyone opposing their policies socialists and communists. They proclaim to advocate freedom of the individual, yet their sponsors, the corporate elite, follow oligarchy or the plantation syndrome (monarchy.) Whatever the plantation owner says is law, right or wrong, legal or illegal, ethical or unethical. The masses have been enslaved for nine years now to those policies. Yet, President Obama has been shackled by not only the Republicans but by his own party.

That mean spirited, hard nosed policy has held the Republicans to a successful block vote, while the Democrats exploit their majority for individual gains. Therefore, whatever losses recorded thus far and in November can be attributed to the Democrats; very sad to say. I believe in diversity; it's genetic in America, however its exploitation is unacceptable, destructive.
