Power. That’s the name of the game in Republican politics. Not principle. Not vision. Who are the core players in that power game? t2P has combed several lists of ‘key’ Republican players from the two opposing forces in the Radical Right, the Libertarians and the Neo Cons. Our top ten list represents the people who, through political clout, money, or both, are seminal driving forces that corrupt Republican politics and push it to the extremist ends that it promotes today.

Gasoline prices are up. These ‘mysterious’ spikes every few months are palmed off on Libya or Iran, but they trace back to the Koch Brothers “contango” strategy. With an economy on the mend, are the billionaire brothers turning a profit center into a political weapon of mass destruction aimed at their very public enemy, Barack Obama?

There will be one loser in Saturday’s South Carolina primary: The GOP. The winner will be Citizens United, which has unleashed the Godzillas of funding in the Battle of the Billionaires! Who will be the top in the schism of the selfish sects of the Republican Party? A handful of billionaires have spent more than 50 million in just three primary contests to gain control of the general election. Which billionaire’s scheme will reign supreme?!

The public face of the Romney campaign is projecting power and trying to coalesce the GOP faithful around him. Privately, both the candidate and the GOP have to be worried. Neither primary win has been convincing, and their ballyhooed anti-Obama referendum evaporated.

More than 14 million people are unemployed. Las Vegas capped ten GOP presidential debates. Republican candidates have served up hard Right fan faves, from banning abortion to tax and regulation cuts. For the rest of us? Die if you don’t buy, and pull yourself up by your own bootstraps and you’ll make millions. It’s sweet cherry Kool Aid for a thirsty minority. Is it in step with the general American public? If not, why are they pouring it?

The Tea Party should more appropriately be called the Me Party.
There is a feeling of callousness and disdain for the poor floating around in the air lately. It is a chronic malady of the American spirit. Like a virus, it eats at our hearts first, then heads to the brain to keep the two from ever connecting. That disconnect permanently allows us, as a society, to turn a negligent eye to those of us who are hurting the most.
Our public sickness, a cold for centuries that is morphing into a super virus, was best expressed last week by the round of applause given Dr. Ron Paul in the September rounds of Republican debates. Read the rest of this entry »

Mr. Obama’s plea on behalf of the American people for jobs and his presidency remains stuck in a political no-man’s land. This is not because the majority of the country opposes his proposals. We remain in a WWI-worthy stalemate because the Tea Party has no problem with the concept of one nation, divisible.
The problem is not the politicians. The problem is not the system that has worked for hundreds of years. The problem is Y.O.U.
You don’t understand the big picture of what is happening. You keep waiting for someone else to do something. The only ones doing something are the motivated. The extremists. We have polarization because common-sense Americans keep calling themselves “independents,” griping to pollsters, and waiting for something to change.
You are the change.
You don’t know how? Here is a 101 of what is dividing our country in two that puts it all into perspective for you. Read it. Know it. Share it. Stop the polarization. Act to save the Union.

We are just two months away from the anniversary of the mid-term election of 2010, the oft-celebrated “Tea Party Revolt” by the Right. Tea Party Republicans swept into the 2010 mid-terms, riding mountains of cash from a select few special interests, funding a few dozen astroturf citizen movements like the Club for Growth and a few dozen more foundations and other political money laundering schemes. [1]
Corporations kept their tax loopholes. The uber-rich continue to siphon the Treasury with their 3% tax break. After trillions in proposed cuts in government spending, the slashing of civil rights, the destruction of the right of labor to organize and the slashing of the social safety net, we all have a question for representatives Boehner and Cantor:
Where, in all of this, are the “jobs, jobs, jobs?

“Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what’s puzzling you
Is the nature of my game…”
Like the famous Rolling Stones tune, Republicans and their Tea Party would like you to have sympathy for the job creators. Read the rest of this entry »

At a time when we are sending our young men and women to the Middle East to free Afghanis from 9th century fundamentalist ignorance, it is ironic and very wrong when the men and women of the Republican Party who aspire to the highest office in the nation proudly raise their hands and assert their disbelief in science, and, in particular, Evolution.
Surprisingly, almost a full century since the famous Scopes trial, the divide between science and fundamentalist religion in this country is wider than ever. In a 2010 Gallop poll, 40% of Americans surveyed rejected evolution.
