Sunday Morning & The Political Campaign Landscape


A friend's brother writes...
The Political Campaign Landscape and WHY
I am going to drop out of the current politics and do drugs:

I HAVE VOTED ...
I HAVE DONE MY DUTY HONORABLY...
and there is nothing else to do
save watch the totally neurotic, if not psychotic,
campaign
playing out,
with tragic characters dying
under the lights of the media.

WE NEED TO SHORTEN THE CAMPAIGN PROCESS ...
IT IS JUST RIDICULOUS...AND IT ALLOWS NEUROSIS TO CREEP IN.

It is JUST PLAIN TIRESOME AND WITHOUT MERIT
AND HAS DRAGGED ON WAY TOO LONG
AND REDUCED POLITICS TO BLACK AND WHITE FEARS,
A CONSTANT BARRAGE OF LIES AND DECEITS,
AND PALIN'S TITS n ASS INADEQUACY AND NAUSEATING CUTENESS,
LEAVING THE DIALOGUE TO MINDLESS DIATRIBES
AND ENDLESS POLLING DISHONESTY AND CONFLICTS
BETWEEN ABC, MSNBC, CNN AND FOX...
WHO JUST CAN'T RESIST THE "TOM BRADLEY EFFECT!"

I voted here by mail in ballot over two weeks ago,
and this election is a dead horse,
being beat upon by bigots,
the insanity of Palin believing in her own PR,
the pathetic figure of McCain trying to scratch his way
out of the unethical hole into which he has dug himself,
Biden who cannot pick and choose his words, and
who is being supplanted by Hillary on the trail with Obama,
who, HIMSELF, is trying to keep his head above Republican DISTRACTIONS
who fear a conversation on real issues
and which distractions seek to suppress the issues....

When the media dwells on McCain's psychotically angry sibling (like himself),
When the media dwells on Palin's goddamned party-paid wardrobe,
When the media dwells on Joe, the not-a-plumber Plumber,
When the media dwells on the "impending doom"
of a Black uprising
(even on NPR),
which uprising will supposedly happen whether Obama wins or looses,
because Blacks "can't control themselves in either eventuality ... "
THAT WAS THE CLEAR DISCUSSION INFERENCE ...
I was totally surprised by such an insulting presentation by NPR,
under the guise of intellectual pursuit of some so called
social political understanding!

I am being JUST A LITTLE UNFAIR to NPR,
but not by much!
I was driving on the freeway on my way to work one morning,
and nearly drove off the roadway, when I heard it.

THERE IS NO SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN THE MEDIA...
NONE. The media has clearly lost its mind and direction.

IT IS TIME FOR ME TO JUST DROP OUT ...
AND MAYBE DO A LITTLE DRUGS!
OR GET LAID,
CUZ THERE SURELY AIN'T NO POINT
IN ME BEING ANY PART OF THIS CAMPAIGN PROCESS
AND CERTAINLY AIN'T NO POINT IN ME
LISTENING TO ALL OF THESE TALKING HEADS ON TV or NPR,
WHO DON'T KNOW THEIR ASSES FROM HOLES IN THE GROUND
AND ARE INCITING PEOPLE TO NEAR RIOTS,
RATHER THAN COVERING THE ISSUES...

They want to talk about WHAT IFs,
while the WHAT AREs are being ignored!

McCain will win votes at ANY COST, EVEN HIS COUNTRY...
The Media will win market share at ANY COST, EVEN THIS COUNTRY...
And the People and This Country
have become Bastard Children and Orphans
WITHOUT ANYONE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
or CARING.

So...We are dropping out...
NO MORE POLITICS AND NO MORE CAMPAIGNS INVADING THIS HOME!
We have not watched MSNBC or FOX for over a week,
and have only dropped in on CNN to watch the market.

Thank God for Colin Powell's level headed assessment of the choices, and
Thank God for the economy going into the toilet....
I would have never guessed that reason would have come from Powell,
nor that the single reason for a vote for Obama would be a failing Economy:
but :)
these two single factors may be the only things
that get Obama into the Oval
and saves us from the further evils of
Republican Courts,
Republican Evil Jockeying for Big Business interests
and personal financial gain at the people's EXPENSE,
at the expense of the literal destruction of this country's financial fabric
and the WHOLE OF THE WORLD ECONOMY...

So maybe a Recession is just what we needed
TO WAKE US UP FROM OUR LETHARGY.
Why does it ALWAYS TAKE A PEARL HARBOR
TO WAKE UP THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY?!

I am still not impressed with Colin...
He should have known that he was working for assholes,
long before now...HE ACTUALLY PRAISE CHENEY AT ONE POINT!
I think he is a good and moral man...
but a little SLOW to perceiving reality in the moment!
The handwriting was and has been on the wall
long before his fairly recent epiphany..
so...
I'll not give him more credit than he deserves
as a Johnny Come Lately!
But COME LATELY better than not at all.

One last comment...

I think it speaks to who we are as individuals
and as a singular nation of this world,
that a man who is half white and half black,
with a glass of Chardonnay in his hand
IS nevertheless ... BLACK ...
and ALL BLACK if you would believe the MEDIA/PR that is out there.

Obama is being painted in such a way as to generate FEAR
... and McCain IS part of this deceit AND HE KNOWS IT ...
and that makes him and Palin flat out evil.

As a matter of fact...
Obama is just BARELY blacker than I am,
and I have the whitest ol' ass in Los Angeles :)

I just wanted to end on a LIGHTER REALITY note!

I am OUT of this current campaign politics until voting results are in.
Most of the stuff I am getting is just REHASH or CRAP...
even from the NYTimes and Washington Posts and Huffinpuff :) ...
TOO MANY BAD VIBES!
and nonsense.

I am simply trashing my subscription emails until election day is over.

It is enuf to say that
IT JUST IS NOT POSSIBLE TO VOTE FOR ANYONE OTHER THAN OBAMA.

Have a nice Sunday ...
Am going to go out and smell the fresh air for the day :)
GET POLITICS OUT OF MY MIND!
