At times like these, I wish Republicans were more like Democrats. When Sarah Palin was selected for veep, the Democrats sent more than fifty lawyers to Alaska to dig up dirt. When Joe the Plumber exposed the President of the Universe and his wealth redistribution ideology, Democrats, some even in office, illegally dug up dirt on Joe the plumber. When Michael Steele ran for office, Charles Schumer’s office stole his social security number and ran his credit report.

Now all we need is to find out who is Ellie Light? Even Ben Smith at Politico fell for it, he called it ‘well-written’. This is horrifying. When I read, I do find it to use proper grammar and spelling. But it is obvious in the first two paragraphs that it is kool-aid. I mean it is so fucking obvious that Ben Smith must be the biggest dumbass ever. I mean a colossal dumbass. But actually, he’s pretty smart, so what explains this? Like every other left wing independent media journalist in the main stream, Ben Smith has drank the kool-aid. And I say drank, just to protect poor Ben from publishing my post by accident.

Here is the kool-aid letter, reprinted from the Democrat Mansfield News Journal;

A year ago, if we had read in the paper that employers were hiring again, that health care legislation was proceeding without a bump, that Afghanistan suddenly became a nice place to take your kids, we would’ve known we were being lied to. Back then, we recognized that the problems Barack Obama inherited as president wouldn’t go away overnight.

During his campaign, Obama clearly said that an economy that took eight years to break couldn’t be fixed in a year, that Afghanistan was a graveyard of empires and would not be an easy venture for us. Candidate Obama didn’t feed us happy talk, which is why we elected him. He never said America could solve our health care, economic and security problems without raising the deficit. Instead, he talked of hard choices, of government taking painful and contentious first steps towards fixing problems that can’t be left for another day.

Right after Obama’s election, we seemed to grasp this. We understood that companies would be happy to squeeze more work out of frightened employees and would be slow to hire more. We understood that the banks that had extorted us out of billions of dollars were lying when they said they would share their recovery. We understood that a national consensus on health care would not come easily. Candidate Obama never claimed that his proposed solutions would work flawlessly right out of the box, and we respected him for that.

But today, the president is being attacked as if he were a salesman who promised us that our problems would wash off in the morning. He never made such a promise. It’s time for Americans to realize that governing is hard work, and that a president can’t just wave a magic wand and fix everything.

Ellie Light

Mansfield

Guess what, there is no Ellie Light in Mansfield. The editors never checked. They just liked the sentiment. Because they drank the kool-aid. So remember, when you are Tea Partying and electing the likes of Scott Brown, remember this when the press downplays your movement, ridicules your efforts, when they negatively portray your members. The press is made up, almost entirely by people like the editors of the Mansfield News Journal. Too lazy to look up Ellie Light on google, or in the local phonebook. But quick to pile on against Michael Steele.
