Dems in a panic; GOP gloating; a pox on them both

So we now have a Republican Senator from Blue Blue Blue Massachusetts! Sen Brown - did he REALLY pose nude for a woman's mag? The so-called liberal candidate was a dud - she could examine her campaign every day for a decade and still not identify all the ways she came a cropper. And Brown refuses to use the term "Republican." Good move on his part.

This amazingly infuriating debacle proves once again that the Democrats exemplify the concept of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. In our opinion, the party represented by an ass has been behaving and continues to behave like one. Picture Chicken Little zigging and zagging across D.C. screaming the sky is falling! Couldn't they have just removed Big Health's exemption from anti-trust laws? It wouldn't have cost one penny and the American people would have been soundly behind such a move. And if our President now realizes that Al Quaeda is ACTUALLY IN PAKISTAN, then why are we sending so many more troops to Afghanistan? It is not cost effective to continue wars we can't win. Instead, let's just stop all undesirables from crossing into our country by using OUR OWN MILITARY AT OUR BORDERS and in FOREIGN AIRPORTS THAT HAVE FLIGHTS COMING HERE! And while we're at it, let's suspend ALL FOREIGN AID FOR ONE YEAR - except to Haiti. That could put our national finances back into some order.

The Republicans are crowing and gloating now that their delay delay delay and lying lying lying tactics have taken firmly hold. Remember, these are the folks who swore that Obama was not American - even though admitting his mother WAS. They refused to even discuss Obama's pick to head the TSA - and then ran madly to blame the Administration when a bomber made it onto an American commercial flight. These are the folks who want Big Health to remain exempt from anti-trust laws (as is currently the case) and Big Banking to continue running amok and continue taking HUGE RISKS WITH OUR MONEY. Let's not forget their love of torture and pushing hideously expensive war on one side while shouting "fiscal responsibility" on the other - without ever squaring the COST OF WAR which is in the trillions of dollars!!!! In fact, under Bush, the cost of Irag never even made it into the published budget!
A POX ON THEM ALL!!!

Distinguished readers, may we introduce a sane concept to the American political scene? Futurism. This is a cultural/spiritual attitude based on the idea that as humankind expands in compassion, wisdom, inclusivity, technology, science and trust in a power greater than ourselves, our problems will start to work themselves out. As each singular universe changes for the better - the one each of us is creating every day - the larger universe we all share can't help but change as well.
Related ideas include noetics, quantum physics, a movie called "What the Bleep Do We Know?" and observable changes in one's own life when one TRULY takes responsibility for one's reaction to "the outside world" and in the same heartbeat realizes that "the outside world" and the internal dialogue ARE ONE AND THE SAME.
We see the Futurist Party in our national future.
