Fools Rarely Differ

The only trouble with doing this blog is that I have to stay in some kind of touch with the present political debate. I would rather shovel rat dung, but somebody has to do it and I guess it is just my turn. What an utterly despicable pile of garbage.

It appears that the great minds of the press have decided that seven states are going to decide the whole election. Wasn’t there fifty states last I checked?  But that’s all right, they are THE PRESS and they are so much smarter, savvier, more connected and in touch than we common slugs in the “fly over states” that we should just sit back and listen to them. After all what do we know?

Well There Was That Wasn’t There?

The Democrats are quick to tell us that Romney is a big business front and will bring down the country and according to Biden “put us all back in chains”. Wow, when was the last time you were in chains? They also say that Ryan is going to tear down the whole “Safety Net” so carefully crafted by the Democrats while fighting the Republicans all the way.  You mean the safety net that robs the rich to give to the richer while leaving the poor in concentration camps we call Government Housing? Well I feel safer.

The Democrats have pretty much accused poor Misters Romney and Ryan of everything but feasting on the flesh of fresh killed children. This series of accusations has risen to the sublime. God Lord grant me the longevity to see what in the world they say about the Republicans four years from now. I may be aging but I am ever curious. 

On the other side of the political alley, it is too dirty to be a street, the Republicans accuse Obama of being a rampant Communist, mean spirited, a man who bows to foreign powers and commits assassinations. That is for starters, after that they get nasty. As to Biden, they portray him as a foul mouthed clown who speaks without thinking, thinks about it and decides he was right in the first place. Well, what can I say; even a blind pig will find acorns if he roots long enough. They nailed that one, the VP is often wrong but NEVER uncertain.

The Republicans have portrayed the put-upon President and Vice President as personal minions of Beelzebub in league with the fallen angels to cause the down fall of Christianity. If Obama wants to call out Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, for a knock down drag out I think I know which way I am going to bet.

So there it is both sides are slinging mud at each other and the real issues of the economy, the Constitution, the horror of the Patriot Act, taxes and whatever else are left unaddressed.

After studying both parties’ pontifications carefully I can only come to one conclusion. They are both right.  Neither one of them is worth voting for.

Vote for an Independent party.
