After years of watching Morris on the FOX network political shows, it’s evident to me that his entire existence in his miserable life has been to promote his lousy books.

His recent decision to appear on CNN’s “Piers Morgan Tonight” show was his epic fail moment.

After having been fired by FOX News, managed by Roger Ailes and owned by Rupert Murdoch, why would you go on Morgan’s show? Most of us know, and certainly Morris should have known that Morgan would tear him a new one.

Piers Morgan is a devout Murdoch soldier. It was Murdoch who gave Morgan his job at the now defunct “News of the World”, a London rag owned by Murdoch and at the time Morgan gratefully served as a writer/editor for the troubled gossip paper.

Rupert Murdoch confirmed a continued alliance with Morgan On January 26, 2013 at 4:13 PM when @rupertmurdoch tweeted: Let’s have petition to keep Piers Morgan in U.S. We need him, as does CNN.

So after getting the boot from Murdoch on the FOX News channel, Morris decides to go on Piers Morgan’s show to explain his side of things. Morgan was ready for him. After quizzing Morris on his failed prediction on the 2012 Presidential elections, Morris attempted to defend himself by claiming Rasmussen and other pundits were also wrong on the elections, having called it a landslide for Romney. When further chastised by Morgan and questioned on why it was that he, Morris, was the one given the boot from FOX News and not pundits like Karl Rove, he stated: “I was wrong at the top of my lungs.” Morris’ only excuse was that he apparently had been labeled as the poster child for those who incorrectly called the election a landslide for Romney.

The rest of the interview was excruciating. Morgan executed his role as a hit man for Rupert Murdoch perfectly. He denigrated and exposed Morris as a fraud. It was a form of tar and feathering ordered by Murdoch and executed by his loyal soldier Morgan.

I don’t feel bad for Dick Morris. He’s an ex Democrat who was instrumental during the Clinton era who at one point went south and joined forces with the Republican party. His relationship with FOX was a lengthy one which included over 3,000 interviews. He benefited, he profited, at times he looked like a cheap pitch man for those who published his fictitious books. In any event, FOX news pundits like Hannity, Van Sustern and O’Reilly benefited greatly by using him as a top barker and basher against the Obama administration and the Democrats.

I certainly hope we have seen the last of this detestable snake oil salesman, however according to Morris the divorce isn’t final between himself and FOX news, but he’s already seeing other people (networks).

Even if Dick Morris doesn’t return to any mainstream political talk shows, there are plenty of other right wing nuts standing in the wings to take his place.

God help us!

The Republicans claim this election is about the economy and jobs. This campaign started with a focus on social programs, and we immediately observed Romney and Ryan’s clear intent to destroy what America has diligently built to protect the poor and their elderly. In no time the campaign conversation turned to women’s issues. Once again, what prevailed was Romney’s failure to support women and in particular equal pay for women. Ryan’s alliance with extremist politicians, and his own desire to define rape coupled with his Ayn Rand ideology, put the Romney-Ryan campaign on a path to failure and defined the ticket as one who clearly does not see a woman, as an equal to men.

Romney’s 47% comment defined the Romney-Ryan ticket as one of the haves, versus the have-nots.

The Benghazi tragedy was a gift for Romney. Romney didn’t waste a second in seizing the opportunity to exploit the Libyan incident, he didn’t spend one minute to mourn with the family of U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens, he didn’t spend a second in mourning with us, the 47% who’s hearts were broken as we observed the morbid images of Ambassador Stevens’ body being ravaged by terrorists. Romney’s sole focus was exploitation of a weak moment. It was the Bain strategy at it’s maximum.

Romney’s behavior was telling, it was a repeat of past behavior. Romney didn’t care about the lives of those workers and their families that he destroyed as he gobbled up companies and bankrupted them while sending their jobs to China as the head honcho of Bain, for Romney, it’s all about carpe diem, no matter whose throat he has to cut to achieve his ultimate goal.

Then, it was Bain Capital, today, it’s the presidency of the United States, for Romney it’s all about serving the elite, profiting from the next project, and filling his, and his friends coffers, for continued exploitation and of course, exportation to overseas accounts.

For most of us it has been RIP Ambassador Chris Stevens, for Romney, it’s been VIP treatment for those uniting with him in exploiting the Benghazi matter.

Taking into consideration the aforementioned, it would be absolutely nonsensical for a poor person regardless of their ethnicity or color to vote for Willard “Mitt” Romney.

Recently Willard Romney criticized those on welfare and food stamps. Those comments are reflective of how out of touch with poor people Romney actually is, it’s truly sad to know that the man responsible for sheltering Willard from being exposed to the pain of poor people was himself a welfare recipient at one time, his father and ex governor of Michigan George Romney.

Romney’s constant change in positions during this campaign reminds me of the following joke: A moderate, a liberal and a conservative walk into a bar, the bartender yells, “Hello Mr. Romney.”

There were many occasions where President Obama verbally spanked Mitt Romney, but what were we to expect from a President who doesn’t just offer lip service but one that has created world changing events like bringing to an end the Iraq war, weakening Al Qaeda and killing Osama Bin Laden.

It’s clear who took who to task in this debate. It was also clear that President Obama is the right person to keep us safe and take us into the future for the next four years.

I would like to congratulate President Obama for his victory in this debate.

What would possess you to invite Sheriff Joe to speak at the Republican convention? Especially knowing he’s currently a lightning rod for civil rights lawsuits and fed intervention. Keep in mind that there are serious allegations of racial profiling against Arpaio and MCSO. Is this how the GOP attracts minorities to the party?

So what kind of message is the Republican party trying to send? Are they banking on voters having so much pent up anger and hatred for President Obama that they can openly attack minorities, women, children, the elderly, the poor, even the middle class. They’ve bet it all on a platform of fear and racism. They have actually convinced many blue collar workers to go against what’s best for them. They use code words and phrases like “the welfare president”, “socialist”, “European style governing”, “the Kenyan”, and the most common phrase, “I want my America back.”

As the rhetoric ramps up and only a week away from the Republican convention and 78 days from the 2012 elections, one can only wonder what it is that Republicans expect they will accomplish by ramping up the attack on the middle class and women.

The list of speakers for the Republican convention to be held in Tampa Florida is replete with Republicans who have led the attack against the American public. Chris Christie the New Jersey Governor insults voters and Republicans cheer, he calls reporters idiots and describes them as stupid and it instantly becomes fodder for the conservatives, Pam Bondi the Florida Attorney General is hell bent on voter suppression and has been working diligently with another speaker Florida Governor Rick Scott to maintain a secret voter purge list, ex Florida Governor Jeb Bush famous for having supervised the theft of an election in 2000, Rafael Cruz the Cuban-American Tea Party backed extremist who thinks George Soros has a secret agenda to rid us of golf courses, you might know him by “Ted” Cruz, Arthur Genestre Davis, the African American ex “Democratic” congressman from Alabama and former Democratic gubernatorial candidate for Governor in the 2010 elections who has sold out to the republican party and changed party affiliation, yet another token for the party of white old men, Mary Fallin Governor of Oklahoma who led the attack against the poor and while running for Governor said “I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been offered a job by a poor person”, Puerto Rico’s governor Luis Fortuño who in 2008 stumped for John McCain and did a bang up job of trashing candidate Obama to the Latino community, stating, “Obama needs to go away for 10-15 years and then come back and try for the presidency”, Nimrata Randhawa Haley, many of you know her as Nikki Haley the Governor of South Carolina, daughter of Sikh immigrants and well known for her offensive SB20 immigration bill that has an actual police force that can easily be compared to the gestapo, designed to hunt down undocumented immigrants while wearing special uniforms and special emblems on their cars, Mike Huckabee the former governor of Arkansas and radio talk show host who today allowed Todd Akin on his show to grovel and beg forgiveness for his offensive comments about women and rape, Huckabee is well known for his offensive comments as well, John Kasich the Governor of Ohio who has most recently been a surrogate for Romney and who during a speech before some Republicans in 2009 talked about the need to “break the back of organized labor in the schools”, Susana Martinez the sitting Governor of New Mexico who is as anti-Immigrant as they come and who ran on a platform of taking away the drivers licenses of undocumented Immigrants in her state. Martinez also complained about the U.S. born children of undocumented Immigrants and later admitted that her Grandfather entered the U.S. illegally, Rand Paul the Senator from Kentucky who unequivocally stated that he was not in agreement with certain provisions within the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The list continues to grow! One thing you can be assured of, whomever is added to the list will excite the Republican base. The Republicans have hand selected these speakers to represent the equivalence to a bowl of granola, “fruits, nuts & flakes.”

This is your modern day Republican party folks. A hybrid between, a racist, xenophobe, nativist, nationalist and gun toting, woman hating, immigrant detesting, wealthy loving, hypocritically fiscal conservative U.S. born Anglo, sprinkled in with a few colored folk to deter any notion of what they stand for.

Every time I see a Republican I’m reminded of Ralph Waldo Emerson’s quote. As soon as they start with their rhetoric, I say, “please, no need to open your mouth,” “who you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you’re saying.”

I considered addressing this matter back in 2011 when Michael Steele the former Republican Committee Chair was kicked to the curb by the white, elite, Republican puppet masters during a reelection process for RNC chair. However, given Priebus’ recent rants, and Steele’s continued high profile, I figured it’s still very relevant to the conversation, especially during a hotly contested presidential race.

The Republican strategy was obvious, when in January of 2009, Steele, the first African American chair of the RNC was selected as the token, I mean, the first black to head the mostly white party of obstructionists.

Barack Hussein Obama, the first African American president elected to the presidency of this country swore oath in in the same month that Steele took his position as RNC chair. The Republicans were livid after seeing their old warhorse and the Wasilla Hillbilly defeated in the 2008 election. They figured, if the Democrats can get a black man elected to run this country, by golly we’ll elect a black man to run our party. Well, kinda sorta. They were well aware that Steele was comfortable with playing second fiddle as demonstrated by his position as the first African American Lt. Governor of Maryland. He knew well how to get along with the majority white, he was polished, the talking points were spot on, hell, the only thing that hindered him was his color, but that was an asset for the Republicans in 2009, especially given the fact that they had to somehow counter Obama with someone of his own race that wouldn’t appear to be racist as he pushed the Republican talking points that often border on bigotry, racism and white privilege.

Steele actually did an amazing job for the RNC. This tidbit spells out his accomplishments while RNC chair.

Under Michael Steele’s leadership the RNC broke fundraising records in the 2009-2010 cycle by raising over $192 million; and, for the first time in U.S. history, a party that suffered losses in consecutive elections as catastrophic as Republicans did in 2006 and 2008 rebounded to win a majority in the U.S. House or Senate in the next election. Republicans won 63 House seats, the biggest pickup since 1938, and the largest gain en route to winning a majority since the 1800s. For good measure, Republicans won the greatest share of state legislative seats since 1928.

Not only did Steele do a great job as chair, he far exceeded their expectations. The RNC also failed to recognize that Steel was an effective Pitt bull raging against the Democratic Party and the newly elected president. Not only was Steele a great puppet, a great financial producer, he was great at ad lib. You would have thought that after having accomplished as much as he did, not just the unbelievable fundraising which is extremely important, after all, money is what makes politicians dance, right? But perhaps more important, was the seizing of the house in 2010 and the removal of the Republican’s arch-nemesis Nancy Pelosi.

You would have though that this guy was a shoe in for reelection as RNC party chair. However, by 2011, the Tea Party had all but hijacked the GOP. We’ve all known that the Tea Party is a primarily white movement meant to “return America to what it once was.” We all heard the shouts of “I want my America back.” It was clear that the puppet masters within the Republican party heard that call loud and clear, and besides, they were done trying to be politically correct or counter the black President with a black Chairman.

By now the conversation in America had gotten to the point where you could openly make racist statements and comments on cable news shows, and it was considered just being brazen, bold, and outspoken. If anyone dared call them racists or bigots, they would flip the conversation and point out, that if you brought up race, you must be the racist.

So the selection was obvious, a hand picked and polished white puppet from Wisconsin, With a cheesy name to boot, Reince Priebus. Priebus campaigned on change and a return to what was before Steele.

He said:

“I’m not running for Chairman because I think I’m better than anyone or because I think I have all the answers. I’m running for chairman for only one reason: I believe our country is in a time of great peril and we have to do something about it.”To turn around the RNC, Priebus said, “I will keep expenses low. I will put in strong and serious controls. We will raise the necessary funds to make sure we are successful. We will work to regain the confidence of our donor base and I will personally call our major donors to ask them to rejoin our efforts at the RNC.”

I think the “I will personally call our major donors to ask them to rejoin our efforts at the RNC”, meant, I will work closely with the Koch brothers to ensure we keep the bucks rolling in.

Priebus went on to say:

He believed the RNC is “part of” the Tea Party movement; he believed it is the Republican Party’s mission to “save our country, to save our party and to take back the White House”

That’s all she wrote! Priebus was in as RNC party chair. It was easy as that. You kick the black man to the curb, throw him under the political bus and you move on with the mission of returning America to the days of yesteryear.

Priebus has turned out to be a perfect fit for the Republican party. He’s aggressive, makes inappropriate statements, doesn’t give a damn about being racially insensitive or politically correct. He’s certainly on the warpath. His latest rant according to the National Journal is as follows:

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus attacked President Obama on Sunday, citing issues from negative campaigning to last week’s lukewarm jobs report.

“This president can’t fulfill a promise,” he said, rebutting Democrats who defended Obama’s performance on Fox News Sunday. “They live in Fantasy Land. We are going to put this dream of theirs to an end.”

Priebus called Obama “the most divisive, nasty, negative campaigner this country has ever seen,” but added that voters will likely be focused on Obama’s handling of the economy and jobs growth.

“I don’t think people are begging for another four years of this misery … with a president who acts like he’s not living on Earth,” he said.

I believe Reince Priebus is exactly what the RNC was looking for, he carries all the right qualities needed to run the Republican agenda, more importantly, he is white, and that, to the RNC contributors and the Republicans in general is one of the most important factors. Now they can get to work on electing a white president.

The great white hope!
