Clowns and Jokers

After watching the news for the past few days, I have been reminded of the lyrics to an old song that I think represents the political climate of the day. Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, Here I am, stuck in the middle with you --- Stealers Wheel, 1972


He’s a Nazi, She’s a Nazi, and everybody’s a Nazi. Rush accuses Pelosi of calling the health care protestors Nazis. Pelosi accuses Rush of saying that Obama’s health care plan is like the one in Nazi Germany. ---- Clowns to the left, jokers to the right


Rhetoric is described as the effective use of persuasive speech. The problem we have with the clowns and jokers is that the supposed rhetoric they are espousing is aimed at the people that are already on their side. Kinda like preaching to the choir.


I am a member of the great unwashed, stuck in the middle with some of you. I am disgusted with the so-called rhetoric being thrown out there by the clowns and jokers. If the jokers on the right don’t like what is happening, then they need to come up with some sort of plan acceptable to not only the clowns, but also the great unwashed.


More importantly, if the clowns on the left believe so strongly that their plan is the answer, then man up, and vote. The clowns can pass any bill in either chamber just by voting as a block. Why are they dragging their feet? Because they have misgivings, and they know the people stuck in the middle will vote in 2010.


On the left, quit clowning around. On the right quit joking and come up with a serious alternative.


Oh, by the way, if you go to http://wcbstv.com/politics/hillary.clinton.congo.2.1122514.html you can watch a video of Hillary Clinton proving my point in the last blog about how she is beaten down about taking a back seat to Bill, even though he holds no political office. Pretty funny stuff
