It was interesting but VERY SAD to watch the campaign 'Oscars' last night,to realise how MUCH OUR NATIONAL ELECTIONS are OWNED by the Corporate media,and virtually sewn-up REGARDLESS of the will of the people.
The ordinary people were OUTSIDE on the streets NOT EVEN getting media coverage,whilst all the glitzy 'MONEY folks sat inside,all warm and cozy,in their $300 + seats!
AND,an even stranger thought came to me whilst sadly watching the corporate media take the election AWAY from the people.
When Clinton and Obama are ushered into office(in whatever order),I think they will both divorce their marital partners and MARRY EACH OTHER,and they'll have Mcain as Veep!
His arms are probably getting shorter because of his chest muscles are getting puffier!
I tell you,last night,the questions and answers were so polite and pitiful and AVOIDED MOST OF REALITY and challenge to REAL character!
How on earth does a peoples Democracy survive when Presidents are s-elected by money,corporations,media,endorsements and super-delegates,and executive priveledge takes precedant over the Judicial Rule of Law?
An awful thought came to mind as we have been force to indorse hillerey/obama. It's a grade school song we probably all have sung... "a fight...a fight...a n...er and a white..." really bad huh! How can I think of these awful thoughts? ha
A crock is right? Hope the Iraqis like McDonalds(yuch!)Coz we are there for another 'Korea' era,and Bush knew it RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING of 'O.I.L.' Operation 'Oil Iraqi "Liberation"!!!!
I just caught Perlosi on the news,at the messy SOTU.
Blimey Charlie! She was a really poor face for the 'Dynamite' Democrats of the future!
Jeez! She looked like she was more concerned about her cold symptoms.
AND,when Dubya was spouting 'crude'she LOOKED like she was secretly reading some Danielle Steele romantic novel:
'Oh mah gad! She couldn't take it any more,his empty words meant nothing to her,she wanted A REAL man who would fight for her love and loyalty....' blah,blah,blah Arbusto Bush!
And! next week,those lily-livered Lobbyist-lover Democrats are even going to sell OUT the American peoples civil rights and give the Telecomm.giants RETRO-ACTIVE IMMUNITY TO PROSECUTI0N for illegal 'wire-tapping'!
I guess what they have TO HIDE,is greater than their LOYALTY TO the rights of THEIR VOTERS!
What a crock o'crabs!
No, they havn't sign that ...oil deal yet, Bush boy has to build up more troops first to protect his investments. Looks like he's going to be laughing his way back to texas as he and cheney rakes in more oil revenue. And Bush made such a big deal about producing cars that don't use oil--what a crock.
Well,gardener,I guess after all the VAUDERVILLE I'm glad I DIDN'T watch it.
It would have been bad enough looking at,and listening to, a man that should be stewin'in jail but to have the 'sweet'faces of Cheney and Perlosi behind him would have been TOO MUCH TO BEAR! Cheney was probably thinking of the Iraqis signing the American/Iraqi oil-pipeline deals.He don't need no darn recognition for political efforts,he just wants control of that Afghanistan-to-Turkey 'greasy' pipeline of 'black-gold'! "George,Condi,have they signed that damn oil-deal yet? I'm sick a waitin'. We wanna git down to ripping 'em off blind,just like the Saudis when they first pumped it up!" Yee Haa!
Hey,I will catch up on the prime bits today tho'.Won't need so much Ipecac!
Bush boy did a wonderful job delivering his cheer leader style speech, rambling on and on doubtful that he even knew what he was saying, nor did he care. After seven years in public speaking, he still can't enunciate his words properly. Loved those fake clap sessions. New trade agreements with Puru, S Korea, Columbia - that's mighty one-world of him. Emissions free nuclear power plants-yeah sure. Reducing pollution? yeah right. He still can pronounce the word Nu cleur. Cheney still has that pissed off look on his face for running the country and not being given any credit for it. Oh, I can hardly wait until Bush boy has Palestine and Israel sign that almighty "peace agreement", then the fun will really begin....
Yeh! He reckons that giving us 'poor huddled masses' a tax rebate(which is ACTUALLY blood money)we'll forget,in our attention deficit mentality,exactly what he's been responsible for,IN THE WHITE HOUSE,the last 7 years!
Whatever he does,in his 'sunset' year,won't change the fact that he,AND CHENEY,should BE IMPEACHED for multiple lies,war-mongering and mis-use of National Office power,the Constitution and Bill of Rights!!!
If he'd been a good,honest,moral and ethical President,he wouldn't even have to TRY TO BUY US ALL OFF in the last minutes of the final quarter before he skips,merrily,off to the Cayman Islands,with Cheney,to count his ill-gotten gains.
And who the heck cares who daughter Cheney 'endorses'?
I think I am going to vote for Edwards, I am sick of the media cramming the other two demo's down my throat. Although, McCain and Romney would both make good war pres', It seems that McCain is just itch'en to get into it with Iran and Syria (and who ever else he can pick a fight with).
And about Mr Bush's speech--what a waste of time, he just has to convince people that he is actually doing something in his last year rather then making it look like he's skaten through.
Touchet,LOL!
And one of the major roles of a Capitalist republic,is to limit the POOR majority from holding the millio-billionaire minority ACCOUNTABLE for their unfair,tax-evading,unethical business practises! LOL!
I will check out the'sites',but toight I have a hair,manicure and pedicure appointment,to get ready for a bigger garbage dump than Lebanons present coastal rubbish pile!
Namely,Bush's 'messy State' of the Union vocal'garbage dump',tonight,LOL!
When Mr 'NUCULAAAR' Dubya is on the media for longer than a sound bite,we rush around like crazy,trying to get OUT OF THE HOUSE to a place of safety and rationality before the republocrat 'fall-out' starts. Watching and listening to ole' NUCULAAAR Dubya is equivalent to swallowing a glass full of Ipecacuanha!
'The terrorists are a'cummin,the sky is fallin'........we're off to see the wizard.......!
Oh to grassroots. That is exactly what they want you to believe. I have a challenge for you. Go out and research on the web Obama's wife. Find video's of her campaign speeches. You do know that she is doing the same thing as bill don't you? It just that the media WANTS you to only see that Bill is doing that so that you form that exact opinion. I dare you go ahead search for those videos now.
Well, if I remember school correctly, we are a Federal Constitutional Republic. We are somewhat democratic in that most of our leaders are elected. We can't really consider ourselves a "True Democracy" because the people don't actually vote on issues but instead give that power to elected representative that are supposed to follow the will of the people. In fact one of the major roles of a republic is to limit the majority from assuming tyranny over the minority---kinda like regulated democracy. Consequently, when the majority of such a said contry becomes so seperated by the minority of rich people, the illusion of democracy tends to fade.
You know what? I think Bill Clinton's NOT ready for female President yet! He doesn't seem to think she can do it WTHOUT his flushed face on camera.
And if Hilarity doesn't have the gall to say to hubbie Bill,'Hey,darlin',chill out,
this is MY race remember? You ain't running for Pressie hun,OR VEEP,you're just ONE of the candidate for 'First Spouse'(the term Gentleman was scuppered along with Monica!!!)
And I think Bill is getting a bit too racist and his vision is becoming MORE monochromatic than ole' Al Jolson's stage acts! Forget the argument of 'black on white'(or visa versa) and get on with thinking of YOUR VOTERS as AMERICANS!!We have enough problems in the election system with 'herding' all voters into either 'red'or 'blue' pens,when the American Nation is made up of AT LEAST THREE political colours RIGHT NOW! No-one gets MY PRECIOUS VOTE who continues to sub-divide Americans into parties of melanin skin-levels!
Bill,shut up,and go home and practise being a 'first spouse'(if you're lucky).
We know it might be difficult,after having had the throne and the 'HIS MAJESTY,KING OF AMERICA' crown previously,to swap it for the apron and charity-support list(proverbially speaking),BUT,your imposition on your 'Mrs' campaign will ONLY be to her detriment.It's starting to look like ANDY CAPP!
Can she not SPEAK and fight for herself? Angela Merchel of Germany CERTAINLY does a fine job!
So Bill,stop trying to be 'blacker'than Obama. And start being just AMERICAN!
There are enough jokers in the Republican race already,KEEP THE DEMOCRATIC SIDE PRESIDENTIAL and dignified pleeeeeze!
Possibly with the mix of experience,youth,positive change,middle-class focus and,of course,their lawyer background(Rule of Law)not to mention good looks on camera,I RECKON,the Edwards/Obama duet(whichever way) could be very promising for AMMMEERRRICCAAAH and a good INTERNATIONAL IMAGE!
Oh,Oh! I spoke too soon! Fare thee well! Monsieur Cute-cinich!
I find it amazing that some of these candidates who have dropped out of the race ALREADY,have some of the strongest and feasible ideas,AND EXPERIENCE,on how America SHOULD be,yet the only reason they have to go is that capitalistic "Democracy" won't ALLOW them to run.That's pretty ELITIST for a democracy of equality what?(nudge,nudge,wink,wink,say no more).
They either don't have the capital,even if they HAVE the voters NATIONWIDE,who want them,need them and would back them,
OR,they can't get the 'required' percentage in the mere PRIMARY caucus votes, representing a measly quarter of the Nations States LOL!
Talk about a cocked-up election system.Even if they HAD qualified to the end,the machines would have been rigged to void ther NAMES when the finger hit the TOUCH-SCREEN 'joke'machines. Heckfire and darnation, America may as well be A MONARCHY again! So much for 'One man(woman),one vote!' I can hear histories civil rights knights and suffragettes MOANING in their blessed graves!
Give'em what-for Dennis'the menace'!
Ha Ha Ha! I like your imagery,gardener! That's the pessimistic realist speaking.
Me being the OPTIMISTIC realist,I would see it as COMPOST,on the one hand,and that works MUCH quicker than hope,in the other,sometimes!
So raise your compost to Edwards! I reckon America should have Edwards as Pressie,and Kucinich as VEEP!That should keep ALL Republi-dant-ocrats HAPPY !
Still,there's a LONG way to go yet!
I need a cuppa tea!
The blossoms is dormat. But the rain has been wonderful! yea, I kinda hope they give Edwards more of a chance, I do like his professional demenor. But, as it has been said, you can hope in one hand and crap in the other, and see which one gets filled first...
