Voter Are Stupid
If you vote a straight Democratic ticket you are a stupid
voter. If you vote a straight Republican ticket you are a stupid voter. And, if
you base your decision on some radio or TV commercial or news paper ad or a
mailer of some sort then you are a moron.
Candidates are no more than cigarettes or beer or cars:
products to be sold to a gullible public. You should invest in a couple of
seasons of “Mad Men”. In case you don’t know, it’s about ad agencies and how
they work to convince the public about a product.
It’s no wonder we have a dysfunctional government. Too many
voters have given their brain to CNN or some fat talk show hosts, sitting
behind a microphone and living in a gated community. These guys make a hundred
times what a typical listener earns yet they can influence the low brain crowd
so easily.
The lying season is in full gear. Politicians in both
parties are making charges and counter-charges and attributing to themselves
powers they will not have and the stupid public believing every word.
Here in Texas the Republican candidate for governor is
passing saying the FBI has opened an investigation on his opponent. That case
was closed months ago with the Star Telegram reporting no “issues worth
pursuing”. And the Democratic candidate is accusing her opponent of
defending the wrong people. She should know by now that lawyers can do what is
criminal for prostitutes.
Lawyers go where the money is. Their belief is that whether
their client is guilty or not is up to a jury.
The Tea Party has taken over the Republican slate. I look
for my state to be in for a bumpy ride. I voted early and I did something I
have never done: voted a straight Democratic ticket. Not because I believe the
Democrats are better but because I perceive the Tea Party candidates are worse.
I have been voting in the Republican primaries for a number of
years because I believed the candidates then in office were doing an OK job. No
more.
Our governor Rick Perry started out well but in the past few
years he has sold out the good people of Texas to the deep pocket interests. Look
no farther than our state highways; many of them have sold to private interests
to be converted into toll roads. Even our great grandchildren will be paying
for them. But, we have “no new taxes”.
Unless the Democratic Party wakes up, Texas will remain the reddest
of red states.
