As of Monday afternoon, the polls say Biden is leading the non-existent Democrat field, and Trump has a yuge lead on the Republican side. Going into the frigid Iowa polls (DAMN, it’s chilly out!) right now it appears we will have the election, a repeat, that no one wants.\u00a0 One of the candidates is a too-old lying blustering blowhard who cares only for his own financial gain no matter which foreign government finances it. The other is in the other party.<\/p>\n
Biden loves to say he had 81,000,000 people who voted for him. Trump claims that in ’16 most everybody voted for HIM. Both of them are dead wrong – I’d bet cash green money that most of those votes in ’16 were anti-Hillary votes, and that most of the anti-Trump folks held their noses and voted for Biden. Heck, if the elections were confined to true believers who actually believed their candidates were the Next Coming of Ronald Reagan or Barack Obama, we would have a national voter base of 330,000,000 million Americans with maybe a few million votes cast. Luckily, the “please, not THAT asshole again” voters should make up the other 140,000,000 votes which will actually be counted.<\/p>\n
It is a proven fact that most people dislike the government, and that even more think our politicians are doing a mighty poor job. The problem, is that these self-same people will continue to vote for their current reps and Senators regardless of what they have done. So many pols have become obscenely wealthy while in office (who was it who said something like “I’m not afraid of a millionaire taking office – I’m afraid of the politician who becomes a millionaire in office?” ) So many seem to get caught so often, you would think their rap sheet would look like a roll of toilet paper.\u00a0 But you know what? We, their constituents, re-elect them and say “well, it could be worse – they could be like Sleazebag MacIdiot in that state fulla crazies.” Guess what…they are ALL Sleazebag MacIdiot and we, my friends, are the crazy dummies that keep on sending them back.<\/p>\n
Lord, it has been so long since I voted FOR for a candidate (certainly not THIS century.)\u00a0 I have have voted against so many it is tiring. Think it was Andy Jackson who said that anyone who actually wanted to be elected should be suspect? (Admittedly, he survived a coupla point-blank range assassination attempts – if anyone earned the right to speak ill of elected office, it would be him.)<\/p>\n
Reminds me of\u00a0 Diogenes, who supposedly wandered around in daylight with a lit lantern looking for an honest man. Not sure he found one then, not sure we would find one now. At least not in, or wanting\u00a0 to be in, Washington.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
