So let’s recap.  Change must mean Biden as VP (35 year Senator), Clinton as Sec of State (huuuuge political insider and cold bitch), Geithner as Sec of Treasury (20 years in Treasury or Fed… yikes!), Gates to remain as Sec of Defense (HOLY FUCKING SHIT!), Emanuel as Chief of Staff (long time democrat with Chicago ties), and now Volcker to head Economic Recovery Panel (former chairman of the Federal Reserve, aren’t they part of the problem?).

Way to go rockstar, that looks like some positive change…. fucking politicians.

Great commentary from Ron Paul today on CNN.com.  Everybody, that means you home-slice, should read it.  Here’s a preview.

Now, in light of the election, many are asking: What is the future of the Republican Party?

But that is the wrong question. The proper question should be: Where is our country heading? There’s no doubt that a large majority of Americans believe we’re on the wrong track. That’s why the candidate demanding “change” won the election. It mattered not that the change offered was no change at all, only a change in the engineer of a runaway train.

Did you get the feeling during his acceptance speech on Tuesday night that he had a “holy shit, now I have to do this thing” moment minutes before stepping out on the stage?  He may have even yakked.

Let me paint you  a picture.   It is November 7th, 2000.  I am in Switzerland in my apartment watching one of the only two English TV channels available, International CNN, the other was BBC News.  Technically it was November 8th as it was around 2 AM, but who’s splitting pubic hairs?  Switzerland (or at least the area I was in) is 6 hours ahead of the US Eastern time-zone so it was around 10PM Eastern in the US.  Some frilly music and a full screen graphic fade onto the screen after a commercial of a naked broad enticing young German’s to call their “party line” completes.  The graphic says something like “Gore will be the 43rd US President”.   Sigh.  Ok, I can go to sleep now, at least we didn’t elect that ass-bag Bush Jr.   I wake up in the morning, scratch my balls a little, flip on the TV and another graphic is fading up with even worse music.  This one says “Bush will be the 43rd US President”.  WTF?  I get to work and the Swiss-German guys are all shaking their heads and taking turns walking into the American shared office, laughing, and saying “you Americans are so fucking stupid to elect that idiot”.  So today is bittersweet.  Finally an end to the epically worst Presidential run our nation will ever see, and a beginning of what?  Dunno, neither of the guys that will probably win will be able to do anything but clean up shit for the next 4 years.  We should change the title from President to Janitor or Jis-mopper.  Anyway, I’ll be watching the tube again tonight, this time in Georgia, just waiting for the MSM to fuck it up again.

I’m actually referring to the Republicans not the economy in this instance, although it appears that desperate times for many of us on on the horizon.  The Republicans are indeed desperate.  In the past couple of weeks they have abandoned any quiet dirty campaigning (at least they pretended they were being quiet) and have resorted to Rove-like FUD attacks (FUD=Fear Uncertainty and Doubt).  They are starting to throw the kitchen sink at em.  Let’s recap:

• Barrack “Hussein”  Obama, lame attempt to make people think he is an Arab, terrorist, or Muslim by referring to him this way.  Campbell Brown calls this race-baiting.
• He’s a “pal” of the terrorists, more FUD trying to make a closer connection with Bill Ayers
• Drugs.  all of sudden past drug use becomes an issue (even though Obama openly wrote about it).  I love this one, fucking Republicans didn’t seem to mind Bush snorting some lines.
• Obama too risky.  This I also believe, but no more risky than McCain, that guy seems a) unstable as hell, and b) one extra long night of sleep away from being dead.

So why do the Republicans resort to these negative lowest common denominator attacks?  Because it works.  How else do you think that Bush was elected not once but twice?  It is all about the FUD.

I had an uneasy feeling this morning when I woke up.  I felt sick to my stomach, a little crampy, and then a wave of pain hit me from my insides.  It felt like I really needed to fart, and when I say fart, I mean open the valve like a propane tank.  THEN, I realized it really wasn’t the world’s loudest, nastiest, and disgusting fart.  It was the bailout bill.  And that uneasy feeling is the realization that the Senate will pass it today, they most likely won’t be left with their pants down (i.e., they wouldn’t put it to a vote unless they are positive that they have the votes to pass it, unlike the idiot House).

So we’re back to being fucked.  It was good to think that for a day or two, our representatives understood and listened to their angry constituents.

Ron Paul continues to be the voice of reason in a sea of choppy bullshit in Washington.  He wrote an open letter about the bailout plan that sums up my exact thoughts on this mess.  I actually wrote my congressman for the first time in my life about this (the bailout), I didn’t even receive a form-letter automatic response.   Here’s an excerpt:

 The issue boils down to this: do we care about freedom?  Do we care about responsibility and accountability?  Do we care that our government and media have been bought and paid for?  Do we care that average Americans are about to be looted in order to subsidize the fattest of cats on Wall Street and in government?  Do we care?

Yes I do care, the question is do enough other people care enough to do something about it.

Ron Paul was quoted today on CNN.com:

Republican Rep. Ron Paul of Texas called on voters to back a third-party candidate for president Wednesday, rejecting his party’s nominee and offering equally harsh words for the Democratic candidate.

I get NOT voting for a the two status-quo partys, but I’m not going to vote for a third-party candidate “just cuz”.  They have to earn my vote just as much as the assholes from the Dems and Pubs.  I’ll probably end up just writing in a vote for RP.

You hafta hand it to the GOP, they certainly shook it up by choosing Palin as Veep candidate.  And when I say “it”, I mean their cocks.  Judging by the Democrat’s reaction, they are either really scared of McCain’s choice or they are loving life.  I just love the irony of the Democrats attacking Palin’s experience, they should have just said that a minority in the White House is a bad idea.  Do you think that at the end of the day, McCain just wants to bang Palin?

I haven’t watched a minute of the Democratic National Convention.  The primary reason is I already know the substance of all the speeches.

Blah Blah Blah, look at me, look at me, vote for me, I can change shit.  Give me power.

Followed by.

Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit, I’m going to bring out a dying man now to exploit him even though he is full of shit too.  Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit.

Bottom line, the government in this country is broken, and the politicians, lobbyists, MIC, and media have won.   We don’t have a democracy, we have an oligarchy.  I’m a true cynic now.  The only small ray of hope in this go-around was that Ron Paul got some attention for saying the right things and drumming up some minimal support.  But he didn’t really have an honest shot at making a difference, the deck is stacked against him or any other real reformist candidate.

Is there an answer to this mess?
