Why do we keep voting for these people?
Seriously. Why do we get all hot and bothered about which capitalist gets elected to whatever office? What if Crazy Michelle Bachman and Seriously Deranged Rick Santorum become our next president and vice president? Pick any of the Looney Tunes and imagine them goofing around in the Oval Office. Is Rick Perry with his coloring books and chocolate milk a scarier notion than Willard Romney modeling suits during cabinet meetings? Does it make you feel better to visualize four more years of Barack Obama at the helm of state?
Why? Capitalism reigns regardless ... or should I say Insanity Rules.
"To be sure, the cost was high -- in blood and treasure for the United States and also for the Iraqi people, but those lives have not been lost in vain."
The fighting resulted, Panetta said, in a "free and
sovereign Iraq."
President Obama hailed the "extraordinary
achievement" of the military and said they were leaving with "heads held
high." He said...
"Everything that American troops have done in Iraq, all the fighting and dying, bleeding and building, training and partnering, has led us to this moment of success."
Would we have felt worse if
Republican-Capitalist John McCain said that? Or is it worse that a
Democrat-Capitalist could glibly make statements that make normal people sick to
the core of their being?
How to explain what Panetta and Obama said?
Were they high on some strange combination of drugs that allowed them to speak
lies and gibberish on camera without drooling uncontrollably? Or were they
simply parroting the Psychopathic-Capitalist Party line?
When I was a kid
I was told many many times that life in Communist Russia was intolerable to
freedom loving people. There was only one party. You could vote, but the
candidates were all members of the Communist Party. The Regime was always
solidly in place regardless of who "won."
I am not going to vote
for a Capitalist in 2012. And don't hand me any of that "Lesser of Two Evils"
crap. To carefully quote George Carlin again...
"Good honest hard working people continue to elect these rich (bleep)suckers who don't give a (bleep)about them. They don't give a (bleep) about you. They don't give a (bleep) about you! They don't care about you at all, at all, at all."
I don't care whether they're a "moderate" capitalist or not. I
don't care if they're short, tall, fat, crazy, stupid, black, white,
Conservative, or Liberal Capitalists. I will never vote for any of them again.
It appears they don't have my best interests at heart.

Marco, in the Field Guide to the Apocalypse, said...
"Don't blame yourself. The apocalypse wasn't your fault. Actually, it was just as much your fault as it was anyone else's. Come to think of it, if you're an American, it was probably about 80-90 percent more your fault than the average human. But don't let that get you down. It wasn't exclusively your fault. Unless you're the president. Then it might be your fault. But you'll have plenty of interns to tell you that it wasn't, so you'll be fine."
