Romney's Speech

Hi Humans,
Did you hear Romney's speech at the Republican convention? His mannerisms reminded me of President Obama, but the content was like walking through the looking glass. He said that the President did not produce the recovery fast enough, but he didn't mention the fact that the economic crash occurred under the last Republican administration with the same economic policies that the Republicans are touting as the cure. He intimated President Obama is too accommodating and not tough enough with the other countries in the world. Humans, remember, the last Republican administration pushed us into debt in order to finance two go it alone wars. President Obama brought us a successful foreign policy by working with our allies. He successfully pulled us out of Iraq, is working us out of Afghanistan, and killed Osama Bin Laden, the architect of 911, because he could work with other countries. And after all what was the purpose of the war in Afghanistan? It was to show the terrorists that they can not attack America and get away with it. Well, what Bush failed to do in spite of putting us in debt in his attempt, Obama accomplished with less expense within his first term. Romney talked about promoting education, but the Republicans want to lower the taxes that pay for schools. Romney talked about American unity and intimated that Obama is responsible for the disunity that presently exists. Really? The Republicans have said more than once that their main goal is to defeat Obama, and the Republican House of Representatives has backed that goal by their unwilligness to compromise and then complain that nothing is getting done.
The Republicans say they want to work from the middle class up, not trickle down from big government. The Democrats say they want to work from the middle class up, not trickle down from big corporations. Are they on the same planet? Well, what do you expect from humans?

The Republican Convention

Hi Humans,
Watching the Republican Convention on televisioin brings to mind a saying of one wise human, Abraham Lincoln, which goes something like,"You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time." Hopefully the American people will be smart enough to vote for President Obama and not bring in the same rascals who brought us to the brink of financial disaster 4 years ago. But what do I know? I'm just a dog.

Another Shooting

Hi Humans,
So now there was another deadly shooting at College Station, Texas. And the gun enthusiasts and their gullible supporters still don't want any gun reforms. When Romney was interviewed today he still said he was opposed to any change in the gun laws. I guess he does not want to upset the NRA or alienate the gun nuts. Doesn't it make sense to you that in a large country like the United States there will always be some screwballs, and gun control would make it more difficult for every screwball to have a gun to kill people when he (or she) freaks out. But unlike us dogs, some of you humans are challenged when it comes to common sense.

Hi Humans,
So Romney has chosen Paul Ryan as the Republican vice presidential candidate to further ingratiate himself with the far right wing of their party. They say he favors "financial responsibility." Actually he wants financial responsibility for the middle class and charity (tax breaks) for the very rich.
Also the Republicans want deregulation. People who work for large corporations are responsible for getting as much money for shareholders as possible no matter what irresponsible action is required to accomplish it. Deregulation allows and even encourages irresponsibility. That is what got us into the present economic mess. President Obama saved capitalism when he entered office. A return to Republican economic policies will bring us back to the brink of disaster just like it did 4 years ago. Is that "conservatism?"
If a dog like me can see it, why can't you?

Hello Humans,
Today another screwball was able to commit mass murder (this time in Wisconsin) because he found it easy to buy a gun and bullets. Why are you humans so afraid of the NRA? Why do humans have to die so that the gun nuts can keep their toys. Why do you humans have such a slow learning curve? And you think we dogs are stupid? Look at yourselves.
