Who's the frontrunner? McCain or Obama? Either way, it's a case of the blind leading the bland. These two clowns are arguably the two worst candidates to face-off in living memory.

::::::::

Come on now people. We're not that thick...

We all have watched the dog and pony shows advertised as Presidential "debates", but there was nothing Presidential about them.

Everyone wants to know, 'Who's the frontrunner, McCain or Obama?' Either way, it's a case of the blind leading the bland. These two clowns are arguably the two worst candidates to face-off in living memory.

I've spoken to numerous members of the public in the last two weeks and the verdict could not be more pronounced with most voters pointing out that, "You can slide a dime between them". In other words, we're not hearing anything vastly different between them. Hold on, I thought politics was a full-contact sport? This one looks peculiarly like a predetermined contest, will Barrack and John almost going through the motions. So do they know something we don't?

On the VP side, the Punch 'n Judy meter reads even higher. Biden and Palin. Career inside man and All-Star Lobby First Baseman Joe Biden ran as a no-hoper who slated the young Obama during the primaries and now he's polishing the boots of the Illinois Senator 20 yrs his junior.

SEND IN THE CLOWNS. But there are no clowns alive that can begin to compete with these two Bozos. Political Theatre at its very worst? You'd certainly think so, but not quite. In Sarah Palin, we have a female version of George W. Bush. She's evangelical, loves Israel to bits, and I'll give you 3 to 1 odds that God will also speak to her and tell her to attack her neighbor Russia from across the Baring Straits.

OK. "Roll up, roll up, place your bets"... So far, Vegas bookmakers are giving us as follows for Nov 4th:

Option 1: 60% - Diebold will select John McCain and General Palin.

Option 2: 20% - Obama will push through and lead a spectacular fascist revival. America will cry with joy for 2 months, then wake up.

Option 3: 20% - Neocons realize their wet dream of attacking Iran, markets will crash, and George W. Bush will call off the elections and stay in the Oval Office until further notice.

I know, I know. A lot of you still like Option 2. Judging by the recent declaration of Martial Law in Congress in order to Fast-Track Wall Street's looting of the US Treasury, the smart money goes on Option 3 and Dubya(and more Martial Law). But Option 1 has already happened in 2000 and 2004 so better the devil you know, right? 

So do we get the government we need, or do we get the government we deserve?
