New Generation Obama vs. status quo/seniors McCain & DLC Hillary
McCain and Bush. 2 smirking chimps who keep trying to imitate the smirking smirk of Ronald Reagan. First they pontificate (or threaten) and then they smirk. Hence, status quo Presidential Republican candidates are all talk, talk, smirk; talk, talk, smirk; and talk, talk, smirk.

Hillary doesn't exactly have a smirk, but someone has convinced her (probably Bill -- she really shouldn't listen to him), that she can smiley face her was through a minefield. Whenever anyone confronts her with ANYTHING substantive requiring a moral/rational response, here comes the smiley face.

Of course, this is predictable as death because Hillary/Bill (or is it Bill/Hillary) are archetypal politicians, which means the American soul is their political spittoon. Of course, it's also the political spittoon for virtually every member of 2006 Congress (dems & pugs), so they've got lots of company.
Two things stand out like mountain peaks in the coming Presidential election.

(1.) As a country, we have NEVER had so many scum "politicians" (in the above sense) in American history. Eight years ago, that word meant something different. We all know it did. Sure, it didn't stand for paragons of rationality and ethics, but it DID frequently mean people who would take political, moral risks to represent their electorate. It's a faded memory now (e.g., think about lying Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reed), but once upon a time to be as politician wasn't a synonym of a governmental crook. Is it really that much of an exaggeration to think of the present American Congress as a euphemism for the Mafia and/or the resurrected Nazi Party? Yes, a little exaggeration, but NOT MUCH and the American people know it.

(2.) The Democratic Party is a clone of the Republican Party (Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumber). Said differently, we now have a ONE party dem/pug system and its perfect name would be The Status Quo Party. Sad, sad, sad, but true, true, true.

OK, now for a little sunshine in all this Russianesque darkness and misery. Of the three viable candidates still running, one (and only one) of them is NOT a member of the Status Quo Party: Barack Obama.

It's also an age thing. Hillary and McCain (and Bush as the current President) are all basically baby boomers plus . . . but Obama is NOT, and that's partly why Obama is setting the country on fire with new enthusiasms.

HE DOES NOT REPRESENT THE "OLD GUARD". HE IS NOT A DLC CARVILLE PUPPET (LIKE HILLARY). HE IS NOT A STATUS QUO POLITICIAN.

And thank God for that! He is a fiery, passionate, hero from the "New Generation".

All these words go together: Old Guard, Status Quo, Vampire Elites, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, John McCain, samo, samo, and George W. Bush.

This mess/mass is the American status quo. It's also where we’ve been for the last eight years and look at the horrific results. Do we need 4 more years of greed-vampire, establishment political seniors?

No, no, a thousand times no. What need is what we HAVE (at least as an option). Of course he must be a little lonely because he's the only candidate who's not status-quo-brainwashed and doesn't have one foot in a political nursing home.

Barack Obama is the ONLY candidate who is the spirit/soul of the "New Generation". He's it, folks; he's the only one and you can tell how different is his reality when you hear that passionate, generous, energy filled, inspirational voice. I'm ready to be inspired aren't you? And, even barnyard animals know the samo samo dufus set just keeps shuffling America straight to hell.

Barack Obama is the New Generation bearer of the "Good News". Hey, if we go with the flow of Barack Obama, this election might be triumphantly over before the status quo senior set even knows it's happened.

Now is the time for the NEW GENERATION led by President Barack Obama to heroically save our God and constitutionally given birthright Democratic Republic -- and beloved Mother Nature.

So Barack Obama, Godspeed. We want YOU to be our Presidential hero!

1. Yeah, all those old people should just STAY home, eh? Or vote for the geezer on the ballot?
Fuck those BOOMERS. Fuck those SENIORS.

That'll work out real swell, now, won't it?

3. Ageism good. Sexism good. Racism bad.
We have to keep these things in mind now.

Personally, I'm thrilled that Michele is finally proud of her country.

4. What Has There Been To Be Proud Of?
Nothing since Johnson and Civil Rights, with a brief period of the Carter interregnum, and the economic breather that was Bill Clinton, although he sowed the seeds of his own destruction at the same time...

Can we be justifiably proud of Nixon's years? Or how that was ended so inconclusively that all the rats got TWO more chances to screw this nation over?

Proud of Reagan? Don't make me ill.

Bush (bushwa!) One and Two

Clinton's foreign policy had some serious holes in it, wheich we are still stuck in. Most of his civil rights gains were undone, as well as the environmental ones.

Michele was candid, not unpatriotic.

5. I was pretty proud of the moon landing. And those pre-Challanger
shuttle flights, not to mention the courage of the immediate post-Challenger flights. I was very proud of the Camp David accords. And the return of the Canal Zone to Panama. Not much since.

Come to think of it, those were all prior to Michelle's adult life.

2. Sigh. You clearly don't know American history.
Mark Twain: "There is no native criminal class except Congress."

But the sooner you get your idol into power, the sooner you can be appropriately disillusioned. I'm sorry the rest of us will have to suffer for your learning curve, but them's the breaks.

7. Of course, you know that Twain wrote that at a time when the
congress and the republican administration was ridden with corruption - part of which led directly to the Custer massacre, as the corruption led to the Black Hills rush and the breaking of the treaties with the native americans who held those lands sacred.

Republicans have had a century and a half of corruption. Not politicians in general.

8. too hurried writing
Bad writing, folks, and apologies to the boomer's. My point (which I messed up with too many outside references) was simply that Obama has the support of the "New Generation", and wherever goes the New Generation, goes the country. Ironically, just as my piece seemed to discount seniors (and I feel very bad about that, since that's the group I trust the most in the country), we have a history of totally discounting "young voters", but THIS time they're going to be the power group and Obama has their love and respect. Again, sorry about the senior thing. Write it off as too hurried writing.

Bill
