Stop Me Before I Vote Again

Digging a little deeper into this comment, it seems to mean that Republicans have strong opinions and realize that none of their candidates clearly represent those opinions, whereas Democrats have no or weak opinions, and are only interested in their candidates as tv images or consumer products.

Oh, please! The Democrats are the only political organization that could produce such a broad range of acceptable candidates; any of one of them might, had life called in a different voice, be eligible for a MacArthur Fellowship. So, okay, none of them could come out of a Lapham interview looking all that good and none save Al Gore could follow LBO Talk with any understanding. But in a world full of cretins set loose to run vastly complicated machinery, in which we might look in the mirror and ruefully contemplate the indequacies -- the very human indequacies, I hasten to add -- of the people around us, dont you get just a little sense of comfort from knowing that the Democratic candidates -- all of them, every one -- are articulate, clean and competent? They're fungible. And the somewhat savvier target demographic, bless their hearts, knows that viscerally and intellectually.

They can take pride in this visceral understanding. They've worked hard for it. I fully epxect PIPA to produce another study demonstrating their superior awareness of the ultimate candidate's platforms. Granted the platform is all talking, but in the final analysis this awareness is somewhat hopeful. Eventually cognitive dissonance will build to the point where only a true progressive stands a chance.

we read of an odd inertness
among the donk bases
so far as the press reflects (or redacts )
'em anyway

no deep thirst for
a peter the hermit
like clean gene
or a punk
gallahad
like rfk

'08 ain't '68.2 so far

the ability of our
one eyed two headed empire
to self right its gone wrongery
after
the latest bad boy "over there "
debacle
is not trusted
in
by
the bulk
of the lesser head's
base pad
..of course not

but the orderly transfer
from business suit to pant suit
will be endured

pay no attention
to the anger on the .... fringe

press wise reported anyway
this seems
deflected
onto our
at once
on the utter paltroonery
of our
simpering
dem-dom congress
and
not at our full shelf
of four inch dildo
dem-prez candidates

so far so far anyway

maybe as i've hoped
till our great mother
barry clinton
gets
presumptively annointed
by a bright stream of official looking
jackass piss ....
of course we must wait patiently
till this coming winter
to find out eh ???

but alas
even that has
a pre scripted
rival shaggy dog faux usurper
sitting in the wings in el goro

if the chocolate whore
and shampoo john
fall in the same dark hole of "so the fuck what"
st hill obviously has awaiting her
when its a done deal
in the lefty crowds mind.....

but
the nixon progress of 68
was as easy and as stale
and ultimately it was rewarded with victory
despite george wallace

how 'bout
a rupture in chicago .2 ????

more likely at the wrong convention
more likely
a city scourging
yahoo right rampage
with lynched undocs and
torched gay- chinese restaurants

imagine st hill's look after
a nice dose
of
that brand
of bare backed rascalry

ahh i dream ...

face it mates
absent an actual plant destroying
jobblery rebellion
among our mid west
industrial prolery
how could any one
fear
for
the tower trolls calm sleep

for now anyway ....

looks like a clean pass of the baton

but who knows what lurks
awaiting its cue up ahead
come scene n + 1
in
the great bard in the sky's
invisible
world-script .....

such is our plight

we have only
a handful of
-- sadly problematical--
accounts
of how it all must end
and
even these few
are fuckin damn figurative ....eh ??
