We have a sitting Democrat (thesis) with a gaggle of seemingly inferior Republican candidates being offered to the electorate (antithesis) Regardless of which side wins the White House in 2012 the outcome is still “We the People” being controlled by an entrenched duopoly (synthesis), reporting to the same shadowy power elite who control the ‘game’ as a function of their lobbyists and has been so for quite some time.

This “rope a dope” nonsense seemingly will continue until an overwhelming crisis of either a financial nature or a conflict between the major powers occurs, more than likely China/Russia vs. the U.S. that will cause a major destabilization of this political stasis under which we now suffer. What’s to follow is anyone’s guess, but I see the U.S. eventually Balkanized so that it will be unrecognizable as the nation it once was within a hundred years or less.

As you know from my writings I’m not for either party, but when I balance personas; I.E., Obama vs. Gingrich, I’d rather have Obama as Commander in Chief of our armed forces. Gingrich like McCain is a hothead and would be quick to solve issues via the use of our military if the need should so arise. Gingrich’s political and personal track record is checkered with politically expedient lies and seemingly has exploited his various positions over time all for a buck or two more at the public’s expense.

the tone around here lately is decidedly Pro Zero and collectivist policies, if the number of articles reflecting every sort of negativity against the Dem opposition (GOP) is compared with negative Dem articles.

Exactly one current article (under the White House category on the masthead) has anything negative to say about Zero and none about Dems other than him.

Whatever happened to Holder’s Fast and Furious, for example, or the myriad other policy issues that actually affect our daily existences?

Just trying to balance the scales…

Gingrich like John McCain, Joe Lieberman et al. have a bloodlust for war, of course at tax debtor expense. These people are crazies, so too, are ‘weanies’. Yeah McCain was in the Nam theater, but after being shot down, then his captors finding out he was the son of the Pacific Fleet’s Admiral in charge of the United States Pacific Command (CINCPAC); I.E., Admiral ‘Jack’ McCain he got preferential treatment at the “Hanoi Hilton”.

John McCain is a Navy ‘blueblood’ with his father and grandfather, John ‘Stew’ S. McCain Sr. having served this nation, both with sterling military careers.

I’m providing a base link to the McCain family. I urge readers search the Jr. and Sr. bios. Quite impressive to say the least.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_S._McCain,_Jr.

It’s my understanding from close associates that he got preferential ‘treatment’ by his captors, including ‘pleasure women’ while his fellow aviators were suffering. So too McCain has demonstrated little empathy for the repatriation of missing POW’s. Why so…?!
To me he’s a spoiled, now aged, Navy brat, only a shadow of his heritage and hopefully soon to exit the political scene where he does more damage than good.

I both digressed and focused on John McCain III simply to show how even those that have had a taste of war can be hypocrites, regardless of the loss of life and ruinous tax debtor expense. These are the people we send to D.C. to ‘represent’ us when in fact they they morph into ‘princes, kings and dictators’ over us.

Newt Gingrich is ‘bad kimche’ for this nation. Believe it…!

Maybe it’s time to consider someone other than has-beens and incumbents – regardless of their party affiliation.

Naaaahhhh, let’s not screw up our obsession to repeat our voting behaviors that perpetuate a severely broken political system and government.

Which is good news for Newt.

And that brings up another real problem with our political system:

I hear and people (a lot of them) say, “clean house, fire them all.” Unfortunately, it will never happen because so many people ignore the one of the most important elections of all…THE PRIMARIES!

It might not be so much that people ignore primaries. It might be that many are really ignorant to how the process works. Maybe they don’t really get that in many cases the selection of those whose names will appear at the following national elections are voted in to participate in that privilege at the primaries.

Want to get rid of an incumbent – start at the primaries. If the incumbent stands unopposed in the primaries…then be lined up at the national election. I say go to any length to get to an incumbent. So don’t wait just for national elections to try and kick their asses out.

There are, however, some serious problems associated with Primaries.

This country has an incredibly corrupt primary system. It’s used by the money folks as a staging arena to prepare their pre-selected candidates for the big show. The voters have to fight back and defy the money folks candidates. Suit up and show up and vote at the primaries – but very cautiously. We all need to know as much as possible about who we’re voting.

So the question becomes – are people willing to go to any length to be change agents?

The rest of the election process is nothing more than calling in the dogs that were bought and paid for – then very gingerly they are seated in office to do the bidding of those who own them.

I’m well into my 60s and I don’t recall anytime in my life feeling such despair regarding our political system and government.

Talk about a ball and chain situation. We the people have created a monster that we can’t or won’t dispose of.
