The Republicans Are Better

The sad fact is that the Republican Party has the better idea. Not ideas, mind you, but "idea."

They, as a group, have got more of "it."

It's a Darwinian thing, survival of the fittest. Morality and fairness have nothing to do with it. It's not relevant, really, how they got their stuff...the money, power and material things.

The point is that they got it...all.

You think that we can change things by voting for people like Barack Obama?

Well think again. Number one, he's Black. Number two he's a Democrat from Chicago. Number three he is an educated, Progressive thinker. Number four, he's Black.

The reason Obama is President is because McCain blew it and because Bush was such a failure. He was a failure in public relations terms not in terms of what he accomplished for...the Republicans.

Obama may have inherited the mess we are in from Bush but the real winners were, and are, the billionaires that were created out of nearly ten years of war and the Wall Street "meltdown."

There may be a recession in the world today but the Republicans are not feeling it.

Mitt Romney referred to corporations as people. His point was that the beneficiaries of corporate success are the stockholders, whomever they may be. But he betrayed a core Republican belief. Corporations are run by millionaires and benefit those who know how to play the financial game. He should know. He's one of them.

Republicans have simply mastered the art of "getting" and, more importantly, keeping.

They get and keep by any means necessary. They elect an actor and then beatify him and enshrine an economic theory that has never held water...

They elect a class clown simply to put a plan in motion that channels money to the wealthy.

They allow Congress to deregulate business and then watch as business does what it does best...keep it's money.

The sad Democrats just don't seem to "get it." They are idealistic. "Change We Can Believe In!"

Bull!

The rich do keep getting richer and there is nothing we can do about it.

The Republicans play dirty pool, whether in business or in politics and the Democrats just can't seem to play that game. They can't catch up.

Ultimately we are jealous. We all want the big house(s) and the fancy cars and the jewelry and the trophy wives. We envy the Country Club set because so many of us are not in it and never will be. What do you think fuels the Lottery? Dreams of creating an orphanage or a food bank or finding the cure for AIDS?

Hell no! It's dreams of yachts and island getaways and Ferraris and garbage bags full of cash.

Face it, The Republicans are just better at getting to and staying on top. They may occasionally lose an election but we all know by now that the Presidency is a sham, just for show.

The President has no real power. He simply does the bidding of his benefactors who pander to his ego while heaping cash on his campaign. And that cash is not for civic or humanitarian purposes. It's to buy influence. It's used to sway the decisions in their favor so they can get more...you guessed it...cash.

So I think this time I may vote Republican. I'm rooting for Bachmann. Why not. A woman. Reasonably attractive. Perky. Full of sass.

President Bachmann will preside over the eventual downfall of the Republic and it will be lovely to have a woman at the helm to ease the pain as only women can do. She'll most likely issue government milk and cookies. But not chocolate chip. Chocolate is too expensive and we'll be trying to balance the budget while going down for the third time.

Meanwhile the ones with all of the money will be watching from their palatial hideaways plotting their next move.

The rich. The powerful. The Republicans.

Oh, by the way, I previously said there was "nothing we could do about it."

Well in that regard history is our best guide. It's happened before and hopefully won't need to happen again.

I have two words for you, dear reader.

"Marie Antoinette."

Au revoir.
