Musing about the current (s)Election cycle caused me to look back over the path we've traveled and manipulations that have occurred along the way. We are now at the point where we are again faced with two ciphers, both selected for their allegiance to the Plutocracy and nothing resembling honorable or decent motivations. On one hand we have a double talking bisexual con artist and on the other a corrupt and unstable whackjob who should never be allowed near sharp objects.
In the VP slot we have Joe, bought and paid for, Biden or Sarah, the end is near, Palin. The difference in experience between the two, which seems a big issue for some, is best likened to Bugsy Siegel versus Small Change. Big difference. The only amusing spot is that Sarah Palin seems to have realized how she was set up and used to try to build a convincing loss for McSongbird.
What we have is a Redux of Klinton versus Dull. In other words a set up. Dole, as Kerry, was set up to take a dive and then paid off handsomely after the dirty job was done. When Ron Paul was building steam the mediawhores, owned by the Plutocracy, ignored him, and when the movement got too big to ignore they marginalized, charicatured, and stole elections to prevent him from gaining any traction.
When none of the dwarves in the Republican field seemed likely to capture the imagination of even a pinhead (thankfully that does not include the imbeciles at Freeptardia aka Rimbjobistan), the contrast between Ron Paul and the field was too glaring, then the media suddenly elevated the financially insolvent McNutz Campaign to "front runner" status.
Having disposed of Ron Paul, and installing a convincing guaranteed loser on the Retardican ticket, the media's next job was to elevate a second rate Bisexual Pervert Con Artist (of very dubious legality) while lampooning McCain and his choice of VP. (Regardless of what anyone might think of her Sarah Palin is probably the only genuine human being in the contest.) So, now the media is on a full court press to push Oh'bummer as the establishment's "boy" while gullible Black America is herded back onto the plantation to vote for someone merely because he has a deep sun tan. With the gullible voting for the Judas Goat the eugenics program to marginalize and eventually exterminate Black America can gather full steam. After all would Oh'bummer help further an extermination program on his "own people"? Would that nice boy next door, Ted Bundy, turn fiend in the night murdering an unknown number of young women?
If you step back and look at this comedy of horrors from a remote perspective the delightful insanity of the entire mess becomes apparent. Once again mass psychological/psychiatric manipulation has been used very effectively in convincing a majority of people to vote for monsters who are an absolute anathema to their well being and that of those they hold dear. Psychotics have no conscience, they are by definition sick and destructive, and that is what we get with either ticket and particularly the one already selected.
So, the real choice on election day is whether to violently regurgitate, cry, or get so damn drunk that you are oblivious to the approaching hell on earth.
