Obama sucks. Romney, too. So now what?

Thursday, September 8, 2011 Romney can beat Obama.

I'd really like to consider Romney, if only he'd say something intelligent.  I know he's not that dumb but he's been pandering to nuts for so long he may have forgotten how to think.

Who is the bigger waste of talent: Bill Clinton or Barack Obama?  Both compromised so much that they forgot why they wanted to be president.  Both are really smart but dumb it down to appeal to dumb constituents.

We are to blame.  We, the American people.  None of the politicians will say it but we all know it.  Americans are divided into three groups:

1. those who want this
2. those who want that
3. those who don't know what they want.

The election is about the hearts and minds of #3.  That's where all the campaign money goes.  What, you thought the system was actually corrupt?  No.  One third of us are stupid and need to be influenced by television ads because we're too dumb and lazy to know what the heck is going on.

All that money is not being paid to voters.  It's being paid to television networks, the big three traditional over the air networks, not even cable channels and sure as heck not the Internet.

Campaigns need to sell their candidates like soap, just like in 1968.  See the book The Selling of the President 1968 by Joe McGinniss.

So here we are, in the middle of the Internet age, with twitter, facebook, blah, blah, blah, and we are going to select the leader of the free world like we were buying soap.

And you wonder why the candidates behave as they do?  Because we need them to.  Because we're dumb and lazy.

You get the government you deserve.

Chief Justice Roberts: Johnny We Hardly Knew Ye.

Friday, March 30, 2012 Death to Obamacare!

This legislation is and always was a typical Obama mess, a weak hopelessly convoluted diversion from what anyone with any sense knows we need: Medicare for all U.S. citizens, the ultimate single payer system.  Instead of honestly increasing taxes to pay for it Obama and his fellow Democrats passed a constitutionally suspect mandate that uninsured individuals must pay a modest penalty or be forced to buy insurance from a private company.  This mandate has evolved into a huge distraction and undermined the entire bill.

Obama continues to be a huge disappointment to those who voted for him in 2008 because of his promise of fundamental change.  As written here many times in various ways, Obama's policies have not varied from those of his predecessor.

It's better for the country for the Supreme Court to completely overturn the legislation so that whoever is elected president this year can work with the new Congress in 2013 to enact universal Medicare.

Enter the Chief Justice who inexplicably joined the four liberal justices by standing on his head to conclude that the penalty was a tax, which made the mess constitutional.

Wow.  Who the heck expected that?  Now Roberts has drawn the wrath of the lunatics.  Too bad.  My guess is that Roberts did not want his legacy to be that of precluding some people from having some health care.  But that's just a guess.

So now what?  Mitt Romney assures the lunatics that he will somehow stop the legislation from being implemented.  How?  If only Romney would say something even semi-intelligent.  On any topic.

Here are some questions for Eric Cantor, Congressional Representative from Virginia, and others who like making silly inane statements about all this:

1. How do you get health care?

2. Who pays?

3. How much do you pay?

4. What country's health care would you prefer to that in the USA?

5. How will the legislation impact you?
