Circus of Fools: Final Thoughts.

 

As the train slowly winds its way towards the horizon and we breath a collective, if somewhat short lived sigh of relief, I want to share some final thoughts on the disaster of the past few weeks. Unlike previous posts which dealt with articles, blogs, tall tales and outright lies, this one is purely based off my own observations and not meant to even begin to reflect a greater whole. Just me talking to you and expressing my final thoughts on the whole mess.

Thought the first: This makes the second time in recent history that our Federal Government has been brought to the brink of a true disaster by the schoolyard antics of the people who are supposed to be running the country. The second time where it has come down to the final hours and imminent disaster before the Reboobicans and Damnocrats could begin to reach any sort of compromise. The last time this happened, right or wrong, the blame fell solely on the heads of the Boobs and they paid for it during the Halftime Elections and that is how we got saddled with the Tea Beggars who were pretty much responsible for the Party Constipation the Boobs suffered this time around.

Now, most polls show that people are equally or even more peeved off at the Boobs as they were last time and the Beggars popularity is at an all time low. HOWEVER, the same polls show that a larger number of Damnocrats (Still not nearly a high a number as the Boobs but it is still impressive) blame their party for part of the train wreck that occurred. So I have to wonder IF either side will finally learn their lessons and start making changes in the way thing are done? If the last Halftime is any indication, unless both sides start actually doing their jobs, we are going to have a massive turnover in current elected officials come 2014.

Selfie of our Leaders in DC

One would think that even the dimmest bulb in the lamp could buy the clue and at least make some token efforts to make people think they actually care about the country and want to do their jobs. To me it is kind of a no brainer. You depend on the votes of people to keep your job and to get the votes, you need to keep the throngs happy. I mean how hard can it be to grasp that you need to put on a good show to keep your audience entertained. After the past few weeks, it should be pretty darned obvious to everyone in DC that NO ONE is entertained. So common Clowns, put on a show or your circus is going to be canceled.

Thought the second: People have accused me of being Pro-ACA (Obamacare) quite a few times over the past few weeks. They railed and yelled when I pointed out that despite what so many have claimed, there were no actual FACTS on Obamacare just a whole bunch of numbers and speculation. They yell at me that “Obamacare did this” and “Obamacare caused that.” They completely ignored the simple fact the ACA hasn't caused anything because it was just implemented a couple of weeks ago. Fear over what it MIGHT do and anger over what it COULD do may have caused everything from Insurance Rates quintupling to goats being born sterile in Idaho, but the only thing it has actually caused is consternation and grife because you couldn't log into the website properly.

I am technically neither for nor against Obamacare at this point. On general principles since it was designed and implemented by our loving government, I am naturally suspicious of its ability to do everything it was designed to do. I personally feel it will probably cost much more than planned and may not do as well as people hope it will. These feelings are just that and currently have no basis in facts, just my general antipathy towards our gloriously incompetent leaders.

          I am actually looking forward to the next couple of months because good or bad we will actually have Facts about how well the ACA is working. Real verifiable information that will give indications on how well the whole thing will fair. As I have stated in previous blogs, I believe this is the main reason the Boobs have been desperately trying to destroy the ACA. (Come on, Folks, who really believes they were after it for the “Good of the people?”) Basically the Boobs have placed all their bets on popularity on one pony. For the past few years they have screamed “Obamacare will destroy our country! Cats will lay with dogs because of the ACA!” They voted to repeal more times than I care to think about and essentially placed all their hopes of being popular on Obamacare being a bad idea.

Like I mentioned earlier, they did this using statistics and any other “data” they could make up while screaming from the rooftops. Now they are faced with the frightening prospect of actual facts and solid data entering into the equation. Now they are facing the idea that (GASP) they could be wrong! Over the next few months before the Halftime Elections, the facts could prove that the Boobs were right all along and Obamacare is one of the signs of the coming Alpacalips. If that happens, all will be Hooplah for the Boobs since they can scream I told you so at the top of their lungs and get lots of Dims thrown out of office. Of course, the reverse is true also. IF the Boobs were wrong, even the teensiest bit, then the American Public will see them as the Forest Gump of Pollytickans and vote their butts out fast! They might still vote other Boobs in, but the Incumbents will be leaving on a jetplane. Should be an interesting few months.

So those are my final thoughts on the Circus and the aftermath. In a few short months, barring a miracle, the whole Circus will start up again and I will be back to ranting about it. Till then, I hope you keep reading as I rant about other stuff for awhile.

BOOM!
