It seems that even good intentions can’t keep me on track, what with having
to make a living and all that stuff. Nevertheless, Dick Cheney was in Tulsa
a couple
of days ago. Not that there was a parade or anything like that, President
Dick only
met with the really truly faithful i.e. true neo-con believers who also
have checkbooks
that automatically spring open at the sound of jackboots.
The expressed reason for his visit was to come to the campaign aid
of
Congressman John Sullivan (R-Tulsa puppet). You may remember John has been
discussed in this space on previous occasions.
But, why would the President Functionary come to Tulsa to help a congressman
who has no real opponent? Answer: John does not need help being a toddy
and lackey.
He has provided exemplary evidence that he is ready willing and able to
load women,
children, the elderly and infirm on boxcars if so directed by the high
command.
So why raise money for someone who gets thousands from the tobacco industry?
Because he makes an excellent laundry. Give money to Johnny and he in turn
will pass it
around to other candidates so that it never looks like anyone violated
the elections laws
by over donating.
This is what happened in Johnny’s first campaign and now it’s payback.
Example: Suppose The National Association of White Guys Who Speak English
Only
wants to give a bundle to Candidate Neo-Con. They can’t give as much as
they want
because of donation limits.
Give the limit to Neo-Con and then give Johnny his limit and let him donated
to
Neo-Con. No one violated any election laws, wink wink nudge nudge.
This is the way it is going to be, money will rule and issue candidates
will drool.
I am not saying give up, much to the contrary. I am saying it is time to
dig deep, spread
the word and become active on the local level.
The Demo hopefuls are going to have to start bowing out and leave room
for someone, any one who can win the election.
Dead bodies don’t vote, Bush know that much, I think. So why should he
address the issue. Send the mom’s a form letter, wave the flag curse Osama,
Saddam or who ever is the evil doer du jour, proclaim an economic renewal
and zip — you’re the President of the United States of Something.
The war in Iraq is headed to the back pages, that is until U.S. troops
take another big hit.
The unemployed have given up and the corporate mid-level types are hanging
on for dear life
and don’t want to rock the boat. Therefore, there will be no real issues
on the right, they will
just go along because they are either making a buck or fear that they won’t
make a buck if
the voters look behind the curtain.
Regardless of who becomes the Democrat nominee the campaign will have to
be waged
by the people to the people. Bush will not do anything dangerous. Remember
here is a man who
thinks macho is throwing a rattlesnake into a baby carriage. Bush will
not take an issue head on
and can be beaten on those grounds.
The opposition will not have the money or media so it will have to be shoe
leather, email
and internet. The Johnny Sullivans are positioned to spread money across
the land, flinging it if
you will in the face of the poor with a smirk.
As we head into the full blown campaign there is one last observation,
this is going to be
real real nasty. The power elite have a lot to lose and many many sins
to conceal, no right is
sacred, no sin too great.
Let the games begin.
