Extra! Extra! Dimensional Extra!

Today we were stunned by the incredible sequence of events; First president John McCain stepped down from the presidency for an unexpected illness.  Palin was sworn in but soon found the job too taxing, saying ; “I do not like this at all.  It is not what I expected.  I wanted everyone to like me but it quickly became apparent that there are far too many pundits and bloggers who say bad things, so I’m out of here!”

Upon being asked why she quit, Sarah said: “I’m not quitter, that is what liberals do.  You do not understand that this is about Democracy, about the American people.  The media never gets it.  But the American people do, I have faith in them and they in me.  They know that if you try on a dress and it does not fit, you take it back.  Taking something back is not quitting.  It is simply doing what is right.  You medias just can not understand that!”

I guess no-one can argue with that?

Not when you make things up!
Fake news is  always right?

Works for Foxed News

And so we bid a big hello to President Nancy Pelosi.

So it went in  parallel universe 385639237 today, July 5, 2009ish

The New York Times is reporting that Caroline Kennedy has withdrawn from consideration.

Chelsea Clinton to take her place to keep nepotism strong. I’m Kidding about Clinton!

So it might be a Andrew Mark Cuomo instead.

Who said nepotism was bad? We seem to associate families as having the same character regardless of individual merit to some extent. Must be science.

FINAL DEBATE WRAP-UP

Six words to describe this debate…

Mostly the same old same old.

McCain claims Obama is responsible for the negative campaign. Claims Obama does not repudiate nasty negative comments like he always does.

Does “pals around with terrorist.” ring a bell? Has McCain repudiated, who is it? HIS RUNNING MATE!

That answer we would expect from these maverick excuse experts?; ‘You made Me pick her!’ Why don’t you acknowledge the facts Senator Obama?

Oh yeah. And why do you suspiciously pal around and go shopping with terrorist anyway?  America wants to know how lovey dovey you two really are.

My point! Game! Match!’

Just do not compare image leading innuendo to the facts. Most of McCains accusations can be turned right back at him. His whole campaign seems to be, ignore reality; ‘down with tax and government! Fixing everything easy!  I know how to do it. I am way better than that one! Trust me! I put the country first!’

Look rabbits!

Look!

But first in what respect? I have not seen the answers that are needed from the wishful thinking express. Just a lot of calls out to fantasy over reality.

-

Obama remained composed and to the points more directly than McCain’s constant string along talking point express regurgitation’s.

McCain claims everything magically fixes itself with desire and nonspecific know-how for free; he knows how to do it.

McCain claimed the cognitive conceptual trick of continually suggesting that the most fortunate in a culture do not need to pay for their commensurate impacts on society. Even suggesting that there is an extenuating accountability, is tag framed as “class warfare”, while windfall profit and other wealth excess is not, apparently, redistribution of wealth from society to the individual. That redistributiont is sanctified as earning, which this amorphous individual can then go do whatever they wish with no concerns for the Commons that sustains life itself. How conservatism actually abhors full self responsibility.

-

Addressing our common issues in society, might involve that demonized redistribution of wealth code phrase still being used to shoot society in the foot.

So not gonna happen. Good luck you all. You are on your own. Hope you have some asphalt to pave the road you use to work. I happen to own an asphalt company. I got just what you need. How fortunate you are! Magic….(disclaimer; I do not own an asphalt co.)

Magic economic perspective from the conservatives to the very wealthy elite is the answer, period. Everything else I guess will magically fix itself. That philosophy had been great with its elite bias. Notice how this wealth distribution going to China and Saudi Arabia, are suddenly wealth redistribution to take serious notice of? Hum? Seems dependent on who the super-rich are, and not their effects on the Commons. Do not look behind the curtains! OZ has spoken-

If you missed the debate, an abbreviated version is below. That Batman character seems to pal around with…

.

ARE MCCAIN AND PALIN IMPALING THE GOP?

ARE MCCAIN AND PALIN IMPALING THE GOP?

There is something brazenly naked about the outworking occurring in this seasons election.

The GOP seems to have actually been stuck with the reality they had been running from for 8 years or more. Delusion of grandeur cannot be escaped from forever.

When ones primary credit is only seeing the opposition party as the cause of problems, it becomes seriously problematic a “cause” being that that opposition was thought nearly dead just 4 years ago. It is hard to keep blaming someone who could not even have a room to hold a meeting in at times. That same party who were excluded from conversations concerning the government time and again.  Once again it must be framed to be all their bad.–They’re the problem.  Right.

The party of most make believe, seems to have thought we were set up to be suckered once more as before, by stating the Democrats were responsible for all the nations woes. Well, that line did not stick. Now the McCain/Palin campaign routinely deny saying what they are on tape saying prior, and use shuffle the shell tricks to make it seem voting against them is voting for terrorist or someone else’s God. Seem to count on us not knowing how to count or pay attention. The desperation reeks of a kind of blinded corruption of the soul, that will say and or deny anything to suit the next move.

Sure most all politicians and parties slant their side to the narrative of right and the others to wrong, but we are now seeing the reliance on complete NOT checking of fact and accuracy. Palin’s integrity seems to be melting down faster than the glaciers. We are seeing character facades that were erected for political reasons now seeming to have never expected the light of day. Then, when the light makes something clear; we hear the equivalent, that it is now night when the truth appears. We cannot see what we see!

Oh.  Sometimes I say things that sort of make sense.

Fear and insecurity were all they seemed to offer, now it is degenerating into one or another varieties of the “good people” somehow being on the mindless side of this dirty business. An opperation whose books were never intended to be accounted for.

The ad-hominem express is now running on the mummified remains of self defined righteousness. The contempt for the American people, and the truth being impaled by all the obfuscation and diversion tactics, just may be taking the spikes out from under their rails. Pointing them into the GOP.

THE REAL MAVERICKS

Just in case one actually wishes to know what they are speaking of when referencing “Mavericks” tag fame.

The Nation – Who You Callin’ a Maverick? – NYTimes.com

A Texas rancher’s descendant defends the liberal family’s name

PALIN WON! NOT!

Palin won, if you have such low expectations, that style, and an odd one at that, succeeds over substance.

Alaskan Governor Palin stuck to the now contrary mix of talking points, to the degree that she avoided answering some questions in order to revert to her “strengths”. Strengths, seem to be pandering to the American people about changing the very things the more conservative pro-rich party stands for. Have faith brethren?

Some may see that maverick tag sticker she tried to sell on that very old used car lot of conservative do nothing but attack and blame government, as just one more grand stand with no seats. Sure. Just get the government out of corporate America’s way, and you’ll get just what we now have. And we’re gonna fix that for ya too. –I’m not just being sarcastic.

She claimed to be going to fix all the current economic problems with strong regulation, then always went back to the talking point of getting government out of the way. To critique what she just said before, is the new talking point of “looking backwards.” That is reserved for ones opponent apparently, when points need to be raised about what they did back when. But two minutes ago? When Biden would bring up anything McCain did; ‘There Ya go! Looking backwards. We’re looking forward etc, etc etc.’ Ah, those darn mavericks! Who knows what they will do? Or do to us?

It was fascinating to listen past all the smiles and staring at the camera; everything, the infrastructure, and kitchen sinks seemed promised to be fixed, while taxes and government shrink. Just get out of we Americans way! And there is a bridge I would like to sell you. No. It’s not going anywhere. But don’t you like all my abstract platitudes repeated over and over to make it seem like change will be pulled out of a hat? Pretty competent huh? We have that kind of executive now.

She seemed to try to mix up her style to appeal to differing audiences, which came across as peculiar. The folksy affectations one second and then trying to be “professional” in the national sense, had me wondering what kind of identity issue she is now going through. The last national ego to do that juggling was Donald Rumsfeld. OK Bush the younger did the “rancher” pack pandering. Just another one of the common folk.

But she did manage to propose nation changing plans; even more power to the VP. I guess Cheney was not “strong” enough! This shows how able and ready she is to lead! Don’t I get it? What part of subconscious innuendo did I miss?

We are left with the current maverick crowd of “conservatives” seeming to knot know (as in tied up) where they actually stand exactly on much of anything, except the current Iraq situation.

CAN I CALL YOU JOE TOO? ALONG WITH THE JOE SIX-PACK? THANK YA

Senator Joe Biden was somewhat reserved. He seemed to avoid being taken in by the constant attack strategy that the right needs to prod fears over fact. He clearly could have challenged Palins abstract platitude express, but kept out of all personal references about her. Even by proxy, he could have pressed her harder on John McCain, yet he held back. By the end of the debate, Palin seemed to be running out of material, while Biden stressed the reality check over the pandering platitude parade’s real history.

Biden might have been able to score more “attack” points, that everyone seems to love and consider so important. I’m mixed on that one. It might have changed into a mine field that would possibly work against him on the subconscious playing field that makes it to the press days later. Not my call, thank goodness!

It was good to see Biden, like Obama, claim the calm center of reason, over seasick reaction. They seem steady compared to the current “Big Bang” emergency the conservatives seem under. Probably just another reason why all sectors of the economy grow better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Facts actually do more things creative than fears. With that out there, ya gotta take shots at reality, to make fear based fantasy land seem more appealing than truth in context.

The event went about as I expected. I did not quite expect the mild questioning from Gwen Ifill. She may have had issues to address as well. Most of that PBS crowd are mild mannered corporate styled recliners, exception when Bill Moyers is around the camera.

We have a wonderful woman governor here in Arizona. What a difference she is. She is about policy and facts. I only wish the great state of Alaska could share her with us. We also have two senators that overall are yes-men for the right wing. Authentic apologist.

THE NEW NOW BY THE WRONG WING? ALL PRIOR NOW’S ARE SO LOOKING BACKWARDS

More platitudes over how well the platitude bubble machine worked. For some people, just because the presenter side of Palin seems confidant–will make them more confident of her! Hey. It worked before for the Bush league. Those who see below the surface waters to the nature of water itself, will be assured of Biden’s ability to be what a real VP needs to be.

BIDEN PALIN DEBATE VICTORY!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

THE DEBATE IS OVER BEFORE Its BEGUN!

FOR WHAT IS ACTUALLY BEING DEBATED?

LET THE CLOCK TICK

Two smiling guffaw artist duke it out.

Will Joe help her to her seat?

Will she ask him a technical question, thus upending all expectations?

Whose mnemonic devices will be the best at quick memory?

Who will be wired?

Who will gaze at notes?

Who will try to be themselves? {Huh?}

Who is a con artist?

OK. Who is just a con artist?

Who looks prettier and or more handsome?

Who will keep quiet enough?

Who will talk a little too much? {NO I do not count!}

Who now wonders if projecting cynicism toward an opponent is a good thing?

Who will be so friendly to the mythical always right AMERICAN PEOPLE, that hair becomes a major pollutant?

Who will take it to the others presidential candidate, thus avoiding certain disaster?

Who will keep watching if some congenial smile fest suffocates differences?

Who will be strong, and risk being seen as too mean or cruel?

Who thinks debates prove a winner and loser?

Who knows what a VP does?

Who is on first?

Who is at the plate?

Who is the real you?

Who do I think I am?

Who cares?

——————————————————————————

Update: 4:44 Arizona time

Just heard an interview with a Republican spokesperson. I know they have to try every ad hominem buzz word trick in the book to get those them against you self defeating notions going. Yet he claimed the real middle class does not eat arugula. Where I live it comes with many salad mixes. Americans do not eat salad? Maybe they do not eat salad mixes. I have arugula growing in the garden and out wild since it flowers so well. I am certainly not in any elite. I’m quite poor actually.

Arugula, snicker. We know who eats arugula, snicker. These conservatives never seek to amaze me with the way they polarize the American people from themselves. Both parties do this, but the one is an order of magnitude more full of it. No not arugula, manure.

Meanwhile; there is less abortion and a better economy for all under Democrats. Keep those kinds truths out of circulation for heaven sake. They’re not fair!

If you do not know what the corporate takeover of the commons is all about, watching a debate will not fix that.

Keep your marbles clean.

McCain explains Palin

McCain explains Palin does not mean what she says to a voter. Opposing McCain’s foreign policy with her own, is said to be caused by questioning from across the room. Implying a voter made her say things McCain would not, just by asking her of Pakistan and policy. They whine; Unfair! Out of context! Gotcha Journalism!

It reminds me of that “whose on first?” routine. Trouble for they and us is, being in line for the presidency is not supposed to be a joke. But that bar has been broken for some time now.

Thanks to that reality despising community that helped place George Bush within range to appropriate the presidency in 2000 and 2004, the, check no fact but have faith cult of attitude followers are out to sink our ship of state for good. There it will lay at the bottom of world history, like the Titanic. After all the Jingoist pablum is spewed and the facts kept far away form context, will the American People actually vote to be that iceberg?

One thing we can all count on; when that iceberg hits, the right wing will say; We thought you liberals believed in global warming?

Exactly.

Jury is said to convene on Nov. 4.

McCain and Obama Debate

REFLECTIONS ON OBAMA VS MCCAIN IN FIRST DEBATE

It is a study in perception and expectation to hear what the debate “seemed” to those who watched it.

I read a bit on one of those often silly fluff pieces put up on the WordPress home page, being stunned that someone turned their sound off and examined how people “looked”.

If we think there are qualifications for the president, one can almost wish there were some for citizens. Do we know the difference from style and substance? Do we know the dangers of getting any more of those 18th century fantasy land “Originalist” on the Supreme Court, in a time when corporations are considered superior to the individual? Unlike back in the Old Day’s, when one of its champions, Clarence Thomas, would now be carrying wood instead of judicial briefs if his fantasy land imaginations were realities. Or are we just looking for style and who seems to score points even if they are false premises or contexts?  Short attention span theater favours ad hominem scoring over truth.

I’m afraid many of us do not realize the bias our corporate individual paradigm holds we regular original people under. We are secondary citizens, from access to government, to responsibility and accountability to the Commons. Many of us here in the good old USA are test-tube citizens, unable to discern the nose on our own face from the one on the TV that seems more, well, real.

MY IMPRESSIONS

I thought the debate was about even, a solid slight Obama advantage, a larger one if one bases their opinions on the use of actual facts and more than might makes right. That is the big invisible creature existing between what is coming across and what the viewer accepts as relevant or even valid. If a certain contemptuous sure style is thought of as strength (a la Cheney) then McCain seemed more certain of his accurate or not absolute conservative buzz notions. If sticking to talking points and phrases are “strong”, then he may have seemed to be more of it. No thinking on ones feet being required, is not a strength to me.

I was glad to see Obama at least look at the person he was talking to at times. That seems one of those fundamental connections that should not be considered voluntary when it comes to governing a nation in a complex world. We’ve had way to much of that ignore your non identical viewpoints already. It was a bit disconcerting to have McCain always looking at the notes of his apparently somewhat scripted presentation. Since he did not read the recent economic two and one half page proposition by the administration days after being submitted, what else will he not bother with once we are not looking. That is scary. Too busy with his lifelong dream of sitting in the oval office? Oligarchical families such as his tend to have grand entitlement expectations, like the Bush’s and Kennedy’s.

I’m glad Obama was not afraid to credit McCain when McCain was right. McCain seemed disabled to go to that factual reality complement. His script was that usual conservative one; lots of false fronts as diversions form real underlying issues. His use of that maverick tag seems intended to excuse those few times he goes off on his own, but after the last convulsive weeks of his campaign, I’m beginning to wonder if being a “maverick” is just another cover for being uniformed, but stubborn enough not to accept anyone else’s ideas.

MY CHRYSTAL BALL

Obama has proved himself to be one steady character, especially next to the erratic McCain lead up to this event. That is now McCain’s challenge. He has to keep his temper and contempt under control. If focus groups determine his ignoring his opponent is not a good thing, he may suddenly seem all “I’m in your face”, come next meeting. This credit could then be chalked up to maverick unpredictability’s.

McCain may well go more towards his warm and fuzzy people stuff. It has been part of the reason he is so accepted in alternative and more youthful areas such as the Daily Show. That, and how he was once a kind of real maverick, refreshing in a cult party of conformity. This sort of TV congeniality is what seemed to help George Bush amongst those who have not much of an ideological clue as to what these degenerating two parties represent, beyond personality type casting.

I would not have let George Bush watch my house over a weekend, not now, or in 2000.  I can see he is a scammer and playing off of American vulnerabilities in perception.  Yet many Americans were ready and eager to trust him.  Thanks a lot.  Now I am feeling these next two in that party have no right to oversee even a small business.  But failure never stopped these conservatives from failing again, even while allegedly succeeding.  The current scammer and chief is one prime example.  But I digress…

Obama has a more engaging world view. Most conservative types tend to keep their ideological blindfolds on until something rips them off; such as being held prisoner. Then, such as in torture issues, one might go against the stream of the blind following the blind. That is, until blindfolds are required anew.

Why Obama is so adverse to representing progressive ideals clearly, beyond the Iraq war issue and generalized economic ones, is quite possibly his wobbling crutch. Those can be quite populist, with strong emotional identity’s to average Americans. I imagine he does not completely share them, feeling they are a false dichotomy or such. Or he is like that centrist trend in his party, bending the individuals interest to the fate of globalising corporate ideologies.

Unfortunately for America; pandering to the wishy washy middle of the road undecideds, has morphed into the position both parties tend to go for come elections. This tendency may quite possibly be one that only furthers corporate horse race preference over truth in context fact… And so the world slides down the merging slippery slope to the One World Corporation. Once the world is a kind of prison, if there are elections for psychological reasons, perhaps the robots will give us food if we vote for the right one. Probably the smiling one.

Freud would be proud! Palin/McCain ticket

To the stage rushes Ms Palin. An older white man often walks in her hurried wake.

fire queen

A presentational question begins to appear for many of us; who exactly is in charge of that maverick ticket? Can’t tell by the constant flow of misrepresented facts. (What he/she/she /he really meant to say was…Next)

Mavericks may have an extra large leeway on facts and all. Seems they are neck and neck; then Ms Palin, looking down, seemingly at notes, announces the good things that will flow from the Plain/McCain ticket. She actually said that one—Palin/McCain.

There! It is out!

The expectations of succession wave may well have gone past the speaker, controlling the very words cresting at the podium. I am first! That guy scuffling behind me is, well, behind. Second billing.

More of those cracks in the glass ceiling?

What reality’s will be reversed next by the mavericks of misspoken speech? What new tomorrow will become so yesterday. We’ve moved past that?

Now lets get into that campaign dynamic duo’s mind-frame…

Americans deserve things to get fixed up and stuff. We are just the change you all need to change the things we changed before, before you discovered they were bad and needed to be changed again, obviously cause everything is sound and all. But this time changed for the better! That’s the right answer! We are more right now than ever, just try us. We are the right change! Whatever those Democrat say; we say, but better! Belief in change we can have faith in! Let’s shake things up America!

Yes! Change we can count on to change again if needed by popular focus group request, in classic Rovian steel your oppositions claims to voter appeal. Hurray!

Once me and Mr Magoo get into that oval office, why we’ll fix it all up for you starting on day one. We’ll be the no blinking administration folks. We’re gonna change Washington for ya. Now lets fire Washington’s elite! How bout callen’ it Anchorage? Geneva. Whatever that capital of mine is. I think there is a J there. You know what I meant to say. I wave at Putin from my deck. Didn’t know that did ya? Ask me any question. Try to trip me up—Cant do it. Cant do it!…

What they really, really meant to say was…

She knows more about energy than anyone. So there, smarty liberal doubt me pants..

What?

And please, please, do not peek behind that curtain. The great and all powerful mavericks of OZ have spoken.

I’m beginning to wonder what ‘change to believe in’ really means? One that never gets past blind belief?

Approx. 3.5% is said to be 20%, (Alaska’s energy contribution) which was still wrong for what he likely actually meant (oil production), which should be more like under 14%. But what actually seems to be being said is: You do the math folks. We’re gonna be too busy changing things. If we get blessed into office that is. That’s a hint to the faith crowd out there.

It’s change we can count on alright. We’ll be doing all the counting of the change, while the American commons goose plucking is finished off by the get what you can while you can trick them, put “America First” scammers. It’s drill, drill, drill, the public.

That hasn’t changed.

CRACKING THE CAMPAIGN CODE

I have cracked the campaign code. Thank you. Thank you very much.

Hearing interviews at this last “more conservative” convention, the secret stood out like a soar thumb; claim the direct opposite of what you actually are, then claim your opponent is what you actually are. Tricky, I know.

It is as if history itself was deleted, then those “good” abstractions claimed to exist in its place. The key is in the NO FACT CHECKING MAKES CONCLUSION DRAWING SIMPLE BY ATTITUDE. The party who just presided over the greatest debt and government excess, accused the other side of not balancing the budget and being for big government. As I said; but now in these words; throw the truth out and insert all the lies and misstatements and altered truths (lies) you can. Perception then is made relative, context destroyed.

This is kinda like an intentional cultural lobotomy, then glorious abstractions stuck into newly vacated minds, that will go on to never achieve truth founded of real context evidence, but instead, by attitude, makes one feel they are on the side of righteousness. These twisted impressions are then put out for mass consumption, paraded as your viable selling points, making you good and those other guys bad. Reality reversed, mission accomplished. They do have quite a history of claiming falsehoods now, do they not.

IF THIS TREND CONTINUES, FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY THEMSELVES WILL BE DEFEATED

Quite an amazing convolution of reality, but these folks are expert at it. They can change position on a dime, take the opposite side from their actual behavior, then blame the other side for being devious. I guess it works every time. As if I am obviously an apple one day, accusing my opponent of being a lowly orange, then suddenly I am proudly the orange, ridiculing my opponent for calling me an apple, as I declare them one. Amazing.

I wonder how this contempt for the truth gets morphed into being “common sense” and other opposite incantations of what they are? If it were some overseas adversary, we would be tagging them sinister and a threat to freedom and liberty, get the guns, support the troops. Film exhibited on one news show, showing McCain’s reversal on many of his major policy viewpoints of just years ago, showed them now replaced with the robot think talking points that pass a “conservative” litmus test. But he still claims to own the “maverick” tag. The lights are on but nobody is home, that is the presumption for the audience! I wonder how they can actually believe what that guy says? Yet stunning untruths were alleged of Obama, with the requisite cheers from a crowd apparently comfortable with being directly mislead. Well, history has me believing that much at least is right about the right…

THE BATTLE OVER WHAT TRUTH AND TRUTHFUL THINKING IS, BENDS TO IDEOLOGICAL PROGRAMMING

There is an attempt to dislodge America from its critical thinking abilities, supplanting those with questions of character generated from false allegations and innuendo. This is no accident. Seems someone has to deceive the public and never let the slime machine break down, disallowing anything like objective thought based reasoning. It is emotional judgments these deceivers are after, to trick citizens into acting against their own interest. How was it put? You must tell a grand lie and just keep repeating it, soon the legions will follow a surety from their existential ambivalence over their own survival state. Now that is being a decider. propaganda is best served to a hungry crowd.

That people are still believed to be suckers for that “big government” and other abstractions list that are used routinely as bait and switch tricks against liberals, indicated why so much poisonous perception must be released into the common air. They will not abide the truth, and so, must generated distortion, false premise, misleading facts and every other deceptive trick to undo democracy and promote oligarchy’s continuing plunder of the commons. If only these judgements were given with the actual truth of matters at their side, but who would read the facts in the fine print, now that understanding itself, seems decried and snickered at as a liberal vice?

So sad to see the contempt for intelligent comparison of true facts demeaned, and directly misleading false allegations approved contemptuously by their very utterance. I hope thinking citizens cut through the baloney, then find out why, that baloney is all these characters think they deserved. Now that is the secret of how perceptions are maneuvered, and well meaning individuals, chewed up and spit out four years ahead, lusting for the very same bait again.

IF THE TRUTH HURTS, STOP DOING IT!

Starvation alters perception. I went four day’s walking with no food once. My whole opinion changed as to what was acceptable to consume. I assumed intellectual starvation may produce a similar appeal to the once repulsive. With around 80% of Americans allegedly buying into the original Iraq War premise, even though fact checkers knew it was dubious to say the least, indicates the crippled state of democracy and honest intention in our nation.

There is a campaign underway, and it is to unplug Americas critical thinking ability, a cultural lobotomy, then ad-hominem assumptions claimed as being truth. This sort of contempt for reason does require much snickering and ridicule to scare citizens from questioning and discovering actual truth, the point is to shame and blame. It is a way to destroy democracy, to paralyze it and make it superfluous to power interest that are interested in using us up, then discarding us to our devices when we are spent.

Those attitudes of contempt the right is seemingly always alleging towards liberalism, is a mind control technique that works, requiring an uninformed electorate to fool. Nothing like contempt for facts and intelligent analysis to succeed at that mission. Yet watch the conservative news shows and listen to their ad-hominem talk shows, but be cautious, it is the listeners eyes that the rug is being pulled over. They seek to seduce one through ones own lack of information, to fall into an ideological tar pit.

It is the bane of humanity; that those who can set it up to pull the wool over the majorities eyes, will do it in the blink of an eye. That is one change we can trust in, no matter what platitudes are emitted claiming what America is, or how automatically enlightened we are, just because we live here. Flattery to the public, after targeting blame and shame onto other citizens, is a charlatans way of leading.

These characters seem to come out of the woodwork worldwide. It is the rest of us, who must account for realities presence or absence in our decisions. Democracy and liberty are being chained under the corporate-market theocracy’s gallows. If that nauseous sense that voting amounts to nothing, takes over you one day, well, many were trying to show you a lit hallway to the escape hatch back to a real democracy.

What can one say, when politicians claim the right to lie right to America’s face, knowingly, or knowingly ignorant, as they “prove” they have what they need to be Chief Executive, mostly by pointing their fingers at others?

THE POLITICAL HALE MARY PASS

THAT CALCULATED RISK FOR SUCCESS– THAT IS THE OBJECTIVE, RIGHT?

It seems McCain made the desperate call, to appeal to certain liberal voters based on a candidates appearance and not policy. He made the risky assessment, which time will tell, if it was as reckless in consequence as in action. For it seems to assume that some liberals at least, are bound by appearance as much as are conservatives.

This dependency on how things seem, has become a hallmark of recent conservative decisions, which appear to be a defence on how things look, as opposed to what things actually are. Nevertheless, the legions of talking heads assigned to their talking points, in the blink of an historical eye, pivot from one mans alleged lack of experience, to another woman’s 20 months in Governorship as a near over-qualification of executive experience to command the most powerful nation on earth. Amazing what a change of mind one day will do.

Someone has to bite into this, I mean, catch it for the apparent score.

Now the ball flies toward the public end-zone, looking for receivers so detached from reality, that they will vote by a candidates body parts, as compared to what they actually stand for. Although this VP choice seems also intended to bolster a certain lack of conservative enthusiasm, which does not quite see McCain as the robot ideologue the purified conservative loyalty test has come to expect.

We see the VP selection in an interview, ask in wonderment; what the Vice President actually does every day. Somebody please tell her what kind of jobs these are. Who exactly does what and stuff. She may actually believe it is raking up the debris of a glass ceiling, who can be sure, when she herself, certainly was not. Her glee in breaking Hillary’s glass ceiling during the announcement, seems to have missed both Geraldine Ferraro’s run at the Vice Presidency, and, Oh yeah. John McCain is still alive the last we checked.

Yet it was particularly odd watching both of their glee, as Palin heralded the ceiling break through.  Apparently not comprehending, given all the excited appeal being directed at Hillary’s disenchanted followers, that this ceiling would require McCain to presumably vanish from the presidential scene right about now.  Oops.

Maybe it was one of those; The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated?  Yo!  I’m standing right next to you!  Yo!

GO LONG!

This cynical but all or none calculation is that hail Mary pass.  All the critical thinking defenders must somehow be incapacitated. As in the whole program of deceptive gamesmanship that has marked these last near 8 years of misrepresentations of cause, and ideological poisoning of fact. The ball hovers in the impossible, invisible, uninformed air. It awaits the reach of the clueless who do not stop to realize, that life actually is not, a game to win at others expense.

When it comes to our nation, there is not actually winners and losers as we are always told. But there is always, the consequence of our actions, and in what intention they were made. These determine what our impacts are, and not politics. These follow in our wake, no matter what we believe, and who else we assume is disturbing the air around us.

Consequence can be ignored, but it never can be bypassed by risk, no matter how well or ill intentioned. In this the Universe is clear, cause, effect and process proceed in integral association, no matter what beliefs we claim to like or dislike, believe in or assume are false. In the “end”, the truth will rule over our choice, seemingly indifferent from what we make it out to be. May we learn to follow Its way, and discover, ourselves.
