Hey .... Mr. Conventional Wisdom ...... kiss my ass .......

[Stinky The Clown]

I am SO . DAMNED . SICK of hearing from Mr. Conventioanl Wisdom.

The Republican front runner is, according to Mr. Conventional Wisdom, him .... or him .... or him or him.

The Democratic Front runner is, according to Mr. Conventional Wisdom, him .... or her .... or him or him.

Meanwhile, we're waaaaaay ahead of the usual presidential candidate schedule. We're facing a non-incumbent election for the first time since 1952. We're coming off an historic election cycle where the incumbent party was so incredibly unpopular that the minority party lost not one single seat and gained enough to become the majority in both houses. One dynasty name already appears to be out of it before he started, clearly determining that having the same last name as the incumebtn president is far more detrimental than helpful. The other dynasty name is already getting into a sort of slugfest with a few of her own party and may become so badly bruised even before the first vote is cast that it may be a run that never gets off the ground.

Waiting in the wings, so far unannounced, is a former vice president and former popular vote winner who could prove to be a true 600 lb gorilla ...... or just one of three hundred million private citizen bystanders.

Who knows who else might announce? Supporters of various others are still hopeful - and rightly so - that their favorite may still enter the race.

Iraq.

Iran.

Past votes.

The unknown hot button issue that always comes along.

The voting bloc so powerful in the past that chooses to sit this one out.

The base? What base? Who are they this time?

And yet, there's Mr. Conventional Wisdom, telling us confidently what we're expected to think.

Mr. Conventional Wisdom, you, sir, may kiss my ass.

3. "Conventional Wisdom" told us "Bush is a man of faith" and "Saddam had WMDs"

It was also "Conventional Wisdom" that "Democrats also took money from Abramoff" and Kerry "faked his medals" and "hates the troops" and that "Bill Clinton is the most corrupt President in history", etc,etc, etc.

I am with you- today's "conventional Wisdom" (AKA GOP/media propaganda) aint all it's cracked up to be.

6. I kicked the CW habit years ago.....

and funny thing is that I seem to be right more than I am wrong since I stopped believe shit they've had to counsel me on.

If I had bet a dollar for everytime conventional wisdom turned out to be incorrect, I'd be running for President right about now. That's how much money I'd have!
