“POLITICAL BOILING POINT IN THE USA!”
You know I have been watching this political farce unfold the last week or so, and I have to scratch my head. I have to say that I am watching the democratic process with new eyes! For the last 23 years, since I registered for the draft and to vote, I always thought I new the issues. I was smug when talking politics, because I watched the news! I even watched the national news, since CNN covered the first Gulf war! I was terribly naïve of the extent of lies and manipulations behind the scenes! Yeah, I knew they lied, and campaign promises were just that, but I believed that the party’s, in general had our country and citizens best interest at heart! Sure they were greedy, a little corrupt, and they could not keep their pants on, but that’s American politics! I always believed that our vote and our constitution meant something!
After all I have learned through research over the last year and a half, I am genuinely scared for my children’s future, and that of our countries fate! Old sayings come to mind, and with deeper and darker meanings. Such as “money rules the world” and “money is the root of all evil”! People go through their lives searching for the answer to a question that has been hidden from them! They try to fill the void, of not knowing how to unlock the puzzle, with any form of entertainment they can get! I was raised on TV, and got 90 % of who I became as an adult from TV. As a child, if you asked me what I wanted to be, it would have depended on what the popular show was at that time! We live in a bubble, relying on the TV to keep us informed on important issues, and facts of what’s going on in the world. I always thought that somewhere there was someone overseeing the information we are given, as 100 % accurate, and above reproach! I might as well watch the Disney channel 24/7, for the information on “all” United States broadcasting corporations channels, are stories straight out of fantasyland!
That said, lets look at the Vice Presidential candidates!
First: the Democrat’s offering – Joe Biden
This is a rightwing Neo-Con in a leftwing costume! He is a career politician, with a history of flip/flopping, and a man with an agenda! He is not even remotely close to the “change” principals of Obamas! Unless Obama is lying, and he really does back the new world order? After all, what has changed since the Democrats took the house in 2006? NOTHING has changed one bit! Two party system my ass!
Second: the Republican offering Sarah Palin
Well I have to say, for a token female VP, she used to be hot! But I really don’t get it! The Republicans have this holy high ground they covet with their conservative core, and Sarah and her family are far to Left to fit the mold! And with the bridge to nowhere scandal (238 million dollars for no bridge), and now the 17 year old daughter pregnant, there are days of controversy ahead!
After all the build up for these candidates, has been the biggest let down of all! It is as if Obama and McCain are both trying to throw the election! I am disappointed in both of the Vice Presidential candidates! I guess I was right all along, “they are both idiots”! So that is why I haven’t been able to figure out what to write, these bozo’s are making it to easy! None of these four candidates deserves to be in the white house!
Now let’s look at what our national media has not shown you over the last week…
At the Republican national convention.
At the Democratic national convention.
What do our candidates say about the police state? And the violence perpetrated by the police and their provocateurs? When we no longer have the right to tell our government what their role should be, then we no longer live in a democratic republic! If you are not worried about the current state of our union, then chances are, you have no clue what’s going on!
What do you want your country to be?
Peace
