I am talking about the presidential election of 2012. 'Rivals Trade Attacks' says my local newspaper regarding Biden and Ryan. The fact checkers pretty much have given up... both candidates are here to trumpet their particular brand of leadership towards a winning mirage. The numbers don't add up for either candidate.
A friend tells me 'We are so ****ed!'
The thought occurred to me months ago that neither of these guys have the confidence to simply think, and deliberate and honestly assess our situation. They are harnessed to a machine that must win.. we must defeat the other guy', that is the mission. I must convince Americans, that my opponent is a dangerous fool.That shouldn't be so hard .. which one are you more afraid of? Two dangerous fools -- there is still Jill Stein of the Green Party and Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party if the left and right need an alternative.
Obama has a disengaged style that never questions or probes the depth of any issue. Maybe he just had a bad day at that last debate, I personally don't think he has a clue about numbers, his money numbers - but you might say he has the best minds in America advising him how can I say that? 15 Trillion in debt and what year will be the year ... if he wins.. that he will present a budget that despite our difficulties doesn't add more to the weight on the American People's shoulders? Probably not next year and if he wins big which now looks less likely will he go for the 'really big stimulus' that Dr. Krugman over at the NY Times still trumpets ... don't be afraid of deficits once we revive the economy, then we can finally balance the budget. That seems to be the thinking of the Democrats. Wasn't this the philosophy of the Republicans once? I think it still is. Romney thinks the military needs more money but he will still find a way to balance the budget. Apparently by cutting out PBS and NPR. 'Green energy' Romney says with a hint of a sneer, maybe I am reading too much into his words or not paying attention enough. Just drill now anywhere everywhere, anywhere we must have cheap gas.. Run a pipeline across the USA and drill in Canada to support our ratrace lifestyle. Remember this line 'of patriot's dreams that sees beyond the years' from America the Beautiful, the country where God shed his grace on thee. Then we went ahead and destroyed everything, and can't see one year ahead or any vision on behalf of America's future generations.
So you run a pipeline from North Dakota to Louisiana and every Farm and property owner in that thousand mile stretch, how many is that? Every man and woman who own a deed to their own land will be forced by emminent domain to give up their property because a foreign corporation wants to build a pipeline so that someone can make more millions and this burning oil further ****'s our planet the one we are passing on to the next generation.
Look at an issue as trivial as Nuclear Power. Everyone knows as does Romney and Obama that Nuclear Energy is in Obama's words 'safe and secure'. Obama in the early days pulls the plug on the 20 year or so project to store Nuclear waste under Yucca Moutain in Nevada.. Hmmm...? Well naturally no one wants a project like that in your back yard. Then a little later the news comes oh well... let's get more nuclear reactors online, wasn't there some kind of loan guarantees from this federal bill to support green energy.
Anyways beautiful world, beautiful people... Peace. I just apparently felt the need to talk about this and this is far enough. Third Party coming soon. We need it. We can do something..go down fighting or rise up and make the best of this mess anways I'm voting for a Red White and Blue Solution.
