HER SUPPORTERS ARE VENTING

This post is for the angry Hillary people. I read their angst filled lines and wonder; where do they think I was these last few years? They talk of Hillary’s superior coalition, her special interest groups and broad coalition that were so formidable, until everyone rolled over for the speech maker.

I know this was the narrative the Hillary folks both sold and convinced themselves of, but for some of us out here like me, who would have gladly voted for Hillary Clinton once upon a time, her war record spoke to us more than anything else. That she enabled the farce of rationalizations so long after most were exposed, (some on day one to the critically thinking endowed), was a shock to the cause of this nation. Her political positioning by poll assumption was the last straw. War is the most serious and consequential of happenings, and she was acting on preemptive political cunning rather than principle. Obfuscation, death and destruction ensued, but she has that lame excuse.

Some may well think that cunning and a list of promises, and a reference to being tough are what a leader requires. That is not all to many of us. Leadership requites being willing to take a stand when others are bending over backwards in fear. It is true that Barack Obama has not been vetted to the degree those out in the public view for much longer have. But he has shown a passion to succeed when all assume it is impossible. Instead of the same old plan most politicians seem unable to waver from, he at least shows a willingness to seek an answer. I would more easily trust his team than the same old’s who were hovering around Hilary Clinton’s campaign. She showed an eager desire to wade into the mud in desperation, pretty much he did not.

All the women I happen to know are for Obama, but it seems some people (usually women) assume most women were for Hillary (poll data said a majority, not all), so since it was cast into an us or them thing, it’s all a misogyny thing. I trust this is just the stupidity of assumption, for if we vote for those candidates just because they are like us in sex, race or other appearances, we are complete fools. ( As a man, I personally wish most politicians were women. They (women) are generally more likely to be more rational in a collective sense, simply because they are not as much testosterone impaired, and tend to a more wholesome view. Sorry men.)

But I do not have much sympathy for the disgruntled Hilary Supporters. They were, via their candidate, willing to side with another Jekyll & Hyde of a “conservative” pandering to doublespeak, over one of their own philosophy! Do they really think John McCain stands for much of anything except all they are against?

This does not speak well of the view of some vocal Hillary folks out there still fuming about their fair and square defeat, although they were lead along on that Russian Roulette of rationalizations she kept spinning. My. How they would have been disappointed once she got in and low and behold, the same old corporate state kept taking over. We have to keep at anyone of these characters once they get in there. I think Obama will likely have an outstanding Cabinet, especially compared to this last disaster. The Democrats have actually intelligent people interested in the common good to draw from. And do not be surprised if he reaches across the aisle here and there for the best and to overcome the Rovian divisiveness of the right wing divide and conquer cult of fear.

At least there is an opportunity with Obama to serve more of the people than those reshaping the country and world into their own dynasties. If the conservative Republican-lite Democrats are going to sit this out or change sides to the oligarchs, stay there please. But if you want actual government accountability and at least a premise of citizen input, dust off your shoes and get to work for progress and opportunity. For unlike the conservative divide and conquer party, rational people know we are all in this together even when we are not under dirrect attack, or hypothetical ones.

And for the pro McCain guy saying Barack was in school while McCain was living; My word! You need more than Faux News like ad-hominem reasoning to convince all but fellow cult members. It is a false dichotomy, based on a false premise leading to a false assumption with no context as applied to actually qualities of being a president. Unless the most familiar with the corrupt machinery of the power structure are believed to be your best rulers. Don’t nail too many of those planks together for your perch!

THE THREE WHAT?

I just had to send this one on.

This guy has been busy.

These three remind me of someones, I just can’t quite place who they are.

OBAMA AND HILLARY MC-HOCKEY

The face off for the race off seems to be closing off.

It has been an amazing ride so far. Republicans end up with someone beginning to seem capable of forgetting his own name. Real change candidates are kinda gone down on the ice after sliding into the boards.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN!

As usual, an especially experienced ticket such as, oh lets say; Dodd and Biden, would possibly set up an effective dynamic core duo. Sure they have their faults, but at least they seemed alive with the right kind of energy and vision. My opinion of course.

Before the Iraq war, I attended a teach in, where from ex mayor to faculty, all agreed the war was actually motivated by corporations getting hands on oil. You were treated by the media (MSM) as kooks and communist apparently, to suggest what should have been obvious to thinking informed people. You know; WAKE UP! WE ARE ONLY GOING FOR WHERE THE RESOURCES ARE! HELLO!

Now some openly admit it’s about our “lifestyle” or otherwise so called national interest. That the transnational and other corporations need to manipulate, not just the USA, but the whole world to keep their lifestyle as the order of things, is all hush, hush. I apologize if you find that insulting, absurd or anything off color.

Do not get too excited no matter who gets in the executive, since it is estimated that members of congress will before long, be closing in on a cool quarter billion dollars from their own investments in the defense industry. Not many willing to downsize their incomes for the good of the nation, let alone cut their sacred lifestyles back for the common good of human beings.

PLAY THAT FIDDLE!

They know (those with prime access to load our information sources and conceptual paradigms) just how to pull the right strings. A public kept amused and otherwise diverted form corporate worldwide effects on environments and populations, is the best public to have to manipulate. Drum up the fear, just like MCCAIN and others are doing towards Iran, and the finer points are blown away. Do not be surprised if magically it all comes to point again around election time, so the baloney cutters can be employed again to feed our fears and steer our perceptions. While we lose our homes and see our incomes vanish at the oil pump, the select will be, as in war, raking in the good times. Yeah. Suddenly they will all sacrifice for the common good. Do not hold your breath!

WHAT IS IS IS

After watching the Hillary campaign morph into is is like assumptions and innuendos, makes me wonder which Clinton may have been in charge of the first is. I do not expect the right kind of change from a candidate that will do and say anything the polls seem to suggest works at the moment. But remember, myself and all the rest of you; think tanks and focus groups, plus linguistic experts are all behind the curtains for the great and wonderful OZZ whomever you are for, especially if they have heavy corporate ties.

THE PREACHER AND THE LINE WALKING PENGUINS

Meanwhile.

If you know anything of Obama’s church, I heard from someone I know who is a minister in it, describe that they came over on the Mayflower. The church, not he or John McCain. He personally expects his congregation to disagree with him and to let him know it, and they do. This particular guy I am speaking of, moved across the country to work with the very poor in this area. They are progressive in the sense that they do as they believe Christ would do, and help their fellows who have the least. Naturally they are appalled overall, at what the power interest in the USA have done to this country.

That Hillary, let alone the probable John M. strategy to come, would pick on ones preacher as a pivot point of perception on a candidate, is really the pot calling the kettle black. John and Hillary have highly questionable characters around them as well. Seems the subconscious play of race and subculture differences, and a nation unawares of how its own powerful people use the world as both their play and dumping grounds, have one candidate they might not want to win.

It is important to note that democracy has been taken for a ride with a blindfolded driver. Voters are being cast out of democracy. Voting trails are being wiped clean by bush cuttings, otherwise called electronic voting without paper trails. Courts are taking away the vote count for political purposes. Democracy in this country is in peril. Each election gives those undermining democracy new avenues of attack.

IS THIS REALLY THE TIME OF THE NEW YOUTH TRUTH MOVEMENT?

Party officials and pundits are being taken off guard by the slippage in the usual fear and race card moves being used this time. I think this could produce volatile campaign moves and those dirty tricks that are meant to sabotage someone before the truth can come to light, since subtile is not working. It remains to be seen if the Iraq masquerade and fiasco will be made into some “property” we are assured ad infinitum we own somehow and will know how to fix by force of will, some day to come, so then bleed both soldiers and the nations treasure.

We do know this about many in the world; beyond all the mostly good and earnest people trying to make life good, there are megalomaniacs who will stop at nothing to keep the worlds bounty to their own, while sacrificing anything or everyone else for their own delusions of grandeur. The question will be to what degree we each march in lock step to their hubris and orders veiled behind religion and flags as our vital interest. That, and who still remember before the unspun into spun around spin, American Dream.

Those of us allowed to vote, please vote while it might count somewhere.

WOMAN! HEAR ME RUN. I MEAN ROAR.

Oh girl!

or

You go girl?

VOTE YOUR SEX OR DIE?

Today it made the news. On a cable news show, a female reporter mentioned that she was told that the women coming out for Obama can expect to not be supported by womens groups next time they need it. The reporter said she said, or wondered to herself; Really? Is that really true?

It is a stunning question. One that in a way goes to the very heart of democracy and prejudice.

Anyone who votes their personal hereditary bias, instead of qualifications, or vision, or ability to inspire, or who seems to know how the world works rightly from wrongly, anyone who decides by personal identity bias instead, is a fool at best.

I cannot imagine as a man, only voting for men because they are like me, and women some kind of mystery beyond understanding. Men are responsible for most of the destruction and misery on earth on a large scale.

Having said that; I am not a fool to vote for the first most viable woman to come along, especially when she may seem a bit like the Jekyll and Hyde conservatives in her tactics. Margaret Thatcher was not an automatic improvement. But to then try to blackmail others if they do not support your bias, no matter what kind it is, is anti-democratic to the very root. That is democratic as in Democracy.

ANYTHING GOES IN LOVE AND WAR AND, YEAH, I FORGOT, POLITICS

The form of bias bribery, by force of support, may seem legitimate to manipulators trying to rig the system to their own interest, but it is a dominator paradigm just the same. Diving the nation by type casting may seem appealing to those who have felt themselves disenfranchised, but to do that by the means of manipulation is an overt deception.

Do we recognize the historical situation we are in? Are we seeking the best for all the people in our decisions, or just my cause? If it is the latter, I expect democracy to continue to atrophy until it is a mere figment of history.

OBAMA, CLINTON, VS. MCCAIN

POLLS

A poll on the news today, has Republicans believing Obama has a near 3 to 1 advantage to Clinton in a contest with John McCain. At least that is what I thought it meant, as I only saw one second of that poll on the screen. Instantly they went to a whole different poll about a different angle on who would win if they were caught balancing a ball on their nose. Might as well have been.

A poll by any other name would smell as sweet?

Now this is a new poll so up to date, it has not been taken yet!

It has just been determined that the election for president is officially over. The winner will be Poll Poll, by a wide enough margin to keep the presidency from now on.

50+ years and I have never been asked.

I took a poll on that. It was determined I do not fit into any worthwhile demographic. So I commissioned another poll that said; Would you put this guy into a polls data base if you were given a dollar after? No. So that poll, which used to be highly reliable, has been determined to have somehow gone berserk.

Then I commissioned a similar one that said; Would you put this guy into your polls data bank if he we gave you one thousand dollars and promised he would say you are the best person there ever was. Well! Jackpot! A whopping 99%, almost as pure as Ivory Soap, said unequivocally; “Heck Yes!

Now I am polled all the time and never have any money. Soon the phone will be cut off.

This story is true! Only it is all a big fat lie.

Well that is yet another lie.  Only the part from the nose balancing down is a fib, or as a focus group suggested; a misstatement.

Thanks for answering our call.

Your check will be in the mail.

Just look into the crystal POLL

LOOK WHO WON!

Tomorrow is the big election (or not) that decides what the new interpretations will be for how losers are winners and winners are losers. I can’t wait to hear the rationalizations. I guess those will be for the Democrats.

People have interpreted storms a punishment. They have claimed responsibility for diverting hurricanes from their predicted path. This presumes that a hurricanes path is known days in advance by NOAA or other weather people who are always right ahead of the event. Dubious proof indeed!

HOCUS POCUS can you pull a chad out of the hat?

I bring this up since as of late, “Comedy” TV shows are touted as proof of media bias to one candidate. Polls and trends, or mysteriously perfect “momentum”, is now described as some law akin to gravity. When they are proved mistaken by facts later on, well, there is your proof that everything heretofore known is wrong. “It is alive!” Our new interpretation, then, deserving of extra merit.

Cable news shows will be an open public study in thoughts and opinion going out of control. Listening to the spin and punditry will probably be a better laugh than the alleged Saturday comedy show Oracle.

WILL THE REAL PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES PLEASE STAND UP

NOW IN THE CENTER RING

We have the ex straight talk express looking more like a carnival roller-coaster. We still have the two presidents for one juggling travelling side show. And we have the poet express that gets it steam from color, age differences and dreams all rapped up in handy chants that promise what we have to deliver.

HOW TWO NEGATIVES MAKE A POSITIVE

Completely astounding, is how it is alleged that what the right wing thought was worthy of impeachment to a “liberal”, when coming from the alleged liberal press, may have the ability to unite them behind someone they think does not think like them overall in their party.

Opposites attract?

The center of the corporate world is where? New York City, right? It is amazing after how they (NY Times) were used to sell misleading info on a looming conflict not so long ago historically, they still are the Big, Omnivorous, never ending in their job of undermining America, liberal press.

Fool me 999 times; shame on you. Fool me 1000 times; shame on me!

Naturally then, the anti conservative supposition, is supposedly good enough of an attack from an anti conservative cause, to possibly rally the right behind someone they did not desire. That was until an alleged liberal establishment pointed its finger at him.

Strange how ones apparent enemies condemnation can confirm a thing for someone they would possibly have not considered much of otherwise. At least that is the talk. Liberals real or imagined, by their actions, have the power to change conservative minds to do the opposite of the presumed liberal intent.

Did not the current administration in 2001 have a policy that; if Clinton did it. We (the grown ups) will do the opposite. It sure seemed as if that was one sure thing one could count on them to react to in the reverse.
Simple reverse psychology.

BUT

I suspect the corporate world, including much of the presumed liberal corporate world, might rather have the newborn “conservative” candidate, instead of one who seems to have an agenda being established in the public mind, of intending to hold corporations much more accountable for their impacts on society, justice and democracy. That might effect the old stock portfolios, that provide a socialist like security net for large stock holders. Even liberal ones.

COULD IT BE?

I have not heard this theory presented, but I thought it was odd that the sexual innuendos release came when the dynamic duos slick car suddenly started to sputter as if running on fumes. Now out of the unimaginable blue, the very well to do might have a spotlight beaming at them from parallel quicksilver lines. If so. I can see the cleaver notion of switching the tracks with a liberal tag, to elicit the rights usual knee jerk response.

So predictable. But is it true? Did the mythical beast called the liberal press spread innuendo about their assumed opponent, not to destroy his chances at the oval office, but to aid them?

SURE ALL CONSPIRACY THEORIES ARE NUTS; EVEN THE TRUE ONES.

IF YOU ARE NOT FOR THE FIRST VIABLE WOMAN CANDIDATE YOU ARE AGAINST WOMEN?

I just read an angry post allegedly by;{ The New York chapter of NOW just released this press release about Ted Kennedy’s endorsement of Barack Obama:}

To make a long story short. They claim to have both thanked Kennedy for some of his support and had forgiven him for many of his poor moves and compromises. Now he is against women for picking a guy over a woman period, with exclamation points!

There is something terribly wrong with “progressive” politically correct politics, if race or gender is the only criterion for voting for a candidate. We already have people, good people, who vote for their(?) religious candidate, proclaimed by some authority as authentic, just over a claim.

NOWs NY chapter goes on to call Kennedy’s endorsement of a guy, a betrayal. Is it now a betrayal for a Jew to vote for a Christian or the other way around? Perhaps voters over and under 50 should not vote for those on the other side of that fence.

Frankly, I believe Kennedy would endorse Obama over Bill if he was running, that would then be a betrayal of what, your own race?

Now my opinion of the two candidates has its ambiguities; both represent barriers in need of breaking. No offense to Obama, but I am of the mind that we would all be better off if women ran most of the government, overall they prove themselves much more responsible for life than men in general. I have a slight suspicion of Obamas on high speaking tone, oratory hints of Kerry, I wonder who they think they are impressing, or talking down to?

I am even more suspicious of the political style and associations of Clinton. The campaign has made me both more sympathetic to her as an individual, yet more suspicious of her ways of manipulating logical connections in debate (not looking forward to many years of that!) and her glowing promises so representative of Mr. Clinton. Doomed to the same fate?

Now don’t mistake my opinion overall; conservative interest of the world feed of of their turf conflicts. That Republican notion that the terrorist win if you vote Democratic, is actually the opposite of the case. It is the surety of no understanding, thank you very much, between vying conservative dominator ideologies, religious, socio-economic, or political, that generate converts to each sides cause. Keep fear alive! This guarantees perpetual conflict instead of working on the underlying solutions to the conditions that breed the fanatic mindset. How are these groups going to fit in with the corporations, and religious attempts at globalization, guiding the battles over earths resources; human and material?

Even though I believe Obama would break two barriers in the US that would be symbolically helpful in the general war on terror and inspire some who felt permanently left out of the presidency (as would Ms Clinton’s), democracies public remains water-boarded; with elections compromise by hidden techniques and unverifiable recording; control of ideas deemed valid, manipulated by wealth’s access to social functions of society; and money determining candidate access to the public to a great degree. Just three things overthrowing democracy that I hear nothing from the candidates about. Not to mentioned the undermined, compromised, and so, failed fourth estate, which was to be our guarantor of free flowing information and ideas necessary for a free and forthright nation.

But betrayal for valuing your reasons over what one thinks you owe them for their alleged loyalty to you? What has that to do with the truth we are in so desperate need of to live from facts rather than fiction?
