Sister Sage's Musings

Oh, I bet about now Steve is missing his old buddy and puppeteer Georgie Bush just about now, while the  Horrible Hillary just continues to give Stevie these very public spankings.  Way to go Hill! If  only she really deserved that kind of praise.

Other than criticizing him for leaving out three Members of the Arctic council and pretty much omitting Aboriginal  concerns in a meeting of the Arctic Ocean members las Monday, progressives shouldn’t be all that proud of her jabs to St-Stevie, however,  certain blogging romper roomies shouldn’t be so quick to condemn her neither.

Hillary was absolutely right about criticizing the Harpercons’ rather pathetic approach to funding mothers and kids in developing countries, leaving out not only  safe accessilble abortions but contraception as well.

“You cannot have maternal health without reproductive health,” Ms. Clinton said at a news conference after a meeting of G8 foreign ministers in Gatineau, Que. “And reproductive health includes contraception and family planning and access to legal, safe abortion.

Well, no shit, Shirlock! Unfortunately, when con hacks like Norman Spector get their knickers in a bunch with near glee, I have to wonder if this debacle is so great for our side. This simple Harpercon response would be to “Go Tell Obama” as Spector puts it, in referring back to that pathetic health care reform package where Dems tied themselves in a knot, pandering to fetus fetishists, to pass that pathetic bill. Really!

Yeah, yeah, one can argue they had no choice but to add that anti-abortion stuff in order to pass this pathetic watered down health care bill, but it doesn’t wash, as Obama did have every opportunity last summer to pass something much better if he weren’t so busy pandering to Rush and Fox News Crowd and trying to convince the tea-bagger hit parade he wasn’t any Marxist Muslim out to take over the world in vain.

I’m glad they passed something, I guess something is better than nothing, but it also takes away credence from her statements regarding contraception and abortion funding in Developping countries.

I would say that it’s about now Stevie should start missing the old guard of Georgie and Dickie: evangelical Christian Fundies of a feather.

Monday, she had also went on CTV to strenuously request the Harpercons to extend our mission in GW Bush’s war in Afghanistan: Ya know, the one President Obama took ownership of so unnecessarily?

Her willingness to ruffle feathers here – on Monday, she criticized Canada’s convening of a meeting on the Arctic and publicly asked for Ottawa to keep troops in Afghanistan past a 2011 deadline – is hinting at underlying tensions between Washington and Ottawa that have surprised some diplomatic observers

Tensions between Washington DC and Ottawa, hmmm! Wouldn’t be the first time.  Was this a tactical ploy to convince St-Stevie to extend the mission beyond 2011? St-Stevie maintains that he will not extend the mission. Of course he wouldn’t: for two reasons.

First and foremost, most Canadians want this mission to end yesterday, let alone 2011.  To most, that is still too far as it is.  Don’t be fooled, St-Stevie has proven that he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the Canadian population and to this day, he still hasn’t proven otherwise.  St-Stevie is every bit the war monger Georgie W Bush was (and more than likely, still is). It is for this reason I don’t think he’s flat out refusing rather than postponing a formal agreement to extend the mission.

For more than likely the same reason Steve is reintroducing that whole taking away that per vote subsidy from political parties, he is planning an election for this fall, perhaps even sooner.  If he agreed to extending the mission now, even if a Rethuglican like Georgie or even See Sawah Run or hell, even Johnny Boy McCain asked him, it would be the biggest act of political suicide.

Great way to lose a general election.  According to what I’ve  read in the Blogging Romper Roomies from time to time, the Afghan war is wearing thin on Conservative voters as well. 

The other thing is, as much as Steve has been sucking up to Obama to get some table scraps of hi “Buy American” legislation,  the ‘wrong’ people are asking him.  As mentioned, he may well have still refused to extend the mission from even the Rethuglicans…today. That certainly doesn’t mean that St-Stevie would even say no to them later…like after he wins a majority come this Fall, or sooner. Hell, he may even accept extending the mission to the Dems if and when he gets his precious majority, or even now if he wasn’t planning an election.

Funny, how Conservative pundits and their cheerleaders alike lambasted the likes of Jean Chretien and Paul Martin for being anti-American because they just couldn’t make enough of an effort to respect such a hero president like Georgie. Now, it seems that Steve is faster being shunned by Americans and naturally, those very same pundits would switch gears.  In their little world,   St-Stevie can never do anything wrong in their little worlds.  However, I digress…

Yes, as I’ve mentioned above, I’m quite certain that Steve would want to seek comfort with Georgie because, Hillary is just too mean and clever for him, if not a bit hypocritical herself.
