If " W " Wins - We Deserve It

The mere fact that George W. Bush IS the President of the

United States says something quite profound. As a Nation, we're,

well...naaa...I don't want to lose you all just yet. Oh, what the

hell...As a Nation we must be pretty dang DUMB! IF we read, we read

what suits us, meaning, what WE want to hear. That goes for lots of

us, Left, Right, and In-Between. The general public's grasp of the

issues is poor at best. Add to this the already deep seated bias that

any issue is approached with and what do you have? Lots of uninformed

voters. Is Voter Education the answer? I don't think that it makes

much difference. Basically, people are going to vote for who they are

going to vote for. The " Undecided Voters? " Who is this swarming mass

of people who rise and fall with every smile and clever quote by each

candidate? A few days ago Kerry was on top...today I notice Bush is

back. Are these people so clueless as to their place in America's

future that each day's news brings an entirely different outlook on

their choice for President? How do you win these people over? That

will be decided by the events immediately preceding the Election. I

would say that a betting man would put the odds in " W's " corner for

that one...though I would wager, certainly not a sure bet. It is

definitely a game of perception, of personality, of marketing. And

what public would be easier to fool than the good ol' U.S.A.? We

literally worship the fine art of bullshit. The bigger the lie, the

bigger the sigh of awe. The movie studios have known this for years.

It doesn't have to be real. It doesn't have to be anywhere near real.

It just has to be a damn good read...a good show. It doesn't matter

that if what " W " tells us is the truth or not...does it sound good?

We Americans like to feel good. We like to feel rough and tough, wild

and extreme. We like to think of ourselves as the best there is.

Other people, cultures, countries...they got nothin' on us! We like

to think that they are all " jealous " of us. Guess what?. They

aren't. We got ourselves a regular John Wayne in the White House. It

doesn't matter that the cowpoke ain't real, what matters is that we

believe he is. " W " knows this, Rove knows this, and all his handlers

know this. Members of the Right Wing of the Republican Party saw this

wonderful attribute in little George way back when. He had all the

qualities: cruel, calculating, deceptive - a bully with an affable

charm, a goll dang Will Rogers without the talent or the brains.

Never fear! " W " can be the puppet, Karl Rove can be the T & B! Just

like Hollywood. Get a decent actor, pair him with a good

director...market the hell out of the project...make the people

believe the hype...There is one major difference here. Politics can

be deadly. Deadly to many people world wide. We as a Nation have put

our trust in the Little Cowpoke from KenneCrawfordPort, TexasMaine.

Chances are (as Johnny Mathis would say) that we will be getting the

phony, lying, smirking, little jackass for four more years. Four more

years that could send this Nation spiraling into the New Dark Ages of

a sneaky new-age Fascism. This Cowpoke has a plan for us that even

his most devout followers will be staring wide-eyed at within two

years. This President, if re-elected, is going to be in some

downright serious trouble...along with our country. By re-electing

the Lonesome Cowpoke/Smirking Monkey/Shrub...whatever you want to call

him...I have a hard time calling him Mr. President, we are telling the

rest of the World to SCREW OFF! We are giving them the big ol'

American finger. This is were the Bush people want us to go. It's

the Kill ‘Em All.Let God Decide Frontier. Hey! We're taking care

of business, aren't we? We got them bastards who took down the

" Towers " didn't we? We made Iraq a free and safe country where

terrorists won't be welcome and won't have a foothold. Oh,

yeah...today the news is saying that Abu Musab al-Zarqawi ( " W's "

Recruiter in Iraq) is pledging allegiance to Osama bin Laden. And

please don't forget Poland! And if you all think that our Health Care

and Education System is the best in the world...do your homework....It

ain't. We have become so compliant as to take everything that is told

to us as the god's honest truth, when in fact, it is not. Sure this

is a Great Nation, but everything that is great, and beautiful, and

fine needs love, attention, care, and maintenance in order to remain

that way. Neglect means death. This country needs a great big dose

of TRUTH UP. We've been swimming in lies for so long that we don't

know were the hell the shore line is anymore. How do we get back to

reality? Is it even possible? Is our culture too diverse and too

wacked to even begin to try? Is the bullshit message so firmly

imbedded into our culture that it IS our culture? The Times They Are

A Changin'. TV News used to bring us some sort of truth. They

brought us harsh images during the days of the Civil Rights Movement

and the war in the Viet Nam. They asked tough questions and showed

images which didn't soften the facts. What happened!? There are

people being slaughtered around the world and we are too damn

sensitive to even see a few photos? Is that it? The same people who

are glued to the set watching one violent show after another? Hurt

our sensibilities? We love the stuff! It's political. The pressure

is on. It has happened little by little. The Liberal Media? What a

load of crap. If it IS a Liberal Media, they are eating out of

someone else's pocket. The News today IS the word of the Government.

The pressure is on to get in line. With " W " , you are for him, or you

are against him.

The Bush Administration has lied like no other Administration

before it, and that is saying something. They are outright criminals.

They impeach Clinton for oral sex violations? You could put " W's "

entire Administration behind bars for real crimes against this Nation

and the world. The Lonesome Cowpoke just smirks, shrugs, and

slides...and more n' half the country says... " Go daddy go... " What

does this say? I can't repeat it enough. I have stayed out of

politics for the past 30 years, until " W " rode into town. Maybe it is

because people like myself did stay out of the picture for so long

that this happened. I feel that measure of guilt. I feel the weight.

Something's gone wrong in Tombstone and we need to fix it. And yes,

if " W " wins we deserve it, with special thanks to the once great News

Media of this Nation for failing to take this poor excuse of an

Administration to task for all of its short comings, crimes, and

misdirections...and to " we the people " for failing to see past a

smirking bully and calling him out. To the Lonesome Cowpoke, I

say... " Skin that smokewagon...I'm your Huckleberry... "
