Why Bush Won
There has been much written about why the assfaced fuck won. My take...
Let us begin with Kerry. Not a real inspiring character. Looks like Jay Leno if he stopped buying so many cars like a materialistic idiot and started moving his fat ass. He got the wishy-washy change-your-mind reputation, not entirely undeserved. His real work in Congress was a number of substantial inquiries of value which is not easily described to the ADHD American mind. He also offered no real plan besides "I'm not Bush." The last did not excite me, but was good enough.
Then there was the rich boy image. Blue-blood New England to be sure. But many of our leaders have been the elite. You have difficulty getting into politics without serious cash these corrupt days. And Bush is hardly Clinto or Reagan by background, muchless Abe Lincoln. The spoiled rich boy has had it all handed to him: Oil wells, Texas Rangers, Governor and now President.
Then there was that wife Teresa. A rich bitch to be sure. A loose cannon. With all that money, she hardly feels a need to shut the fuck up. But that's her right-freedom of speech. Still pissed off plenty of people. Still I see no real economic difference between the two families. The life of having 50 million vs. 100 million in the bank is very different from grossing 25K and 50K.
Then there was Edward. I voted for Kerry in the primary to keep this dickhead out. An American success story to be sure. A malpractice trial lawyer. At least pimps and drug dealers provide a service and are capitalistic rather than parasitic. This leach made millions suing doctors for bad outcomes, not serious mistakes. That's the way of medicine. It ain't perfect. There is a lot we don't know. And everybody makes mistakes. The medical profession has a much higher quality of work than most. Shit, you should see the crappy work recently done when my water heater leaked by the carpet kid and then the plumber who hacked the door as well. And don't even get me started on the "fixing" of the garage door. But I digress. The pretty boy sleazebag ambulance-chaser was a non-issue for most.
Now we get into the malingannt stuff. The Kerry Viet Nam thing. Here an group of duty shirking pansies set up this "we're not involved" SwiftBoat Liars thing. Maybe Kerry showboated a bit and likely shot some people. He could easily have gotten out of combat, but instead went in a fishing boat with a few guns down enemy waterways where they could take shots hidden from the jungle. Seems more scary than hanging out on the ranch to me. For details see apocalypse Now, the movie. This smear campaign is insulting to all veterans, especially those who served in combat. Let's spit on the Viet Nam vets again.
And Bush himself. Daddy got him safe duty. Now I have full respect for Gueard duty and it is essential for our security, but then it was an E-ticket out of Viet Nam. Then Bush went AWOL on a likely drunken cocaine binge. The record were destroyed. The ones found were fakes, but the an officer at the time says they essentially were accurate in account. Why not the same scrutiny to the Swiftboat Liars? And now the network of the fake document is under witch-hunt in mortal fear. Liberal press my ass. But you have to give Rove credit as the evil genius he is for making Kerry's service the issue instead of W's. Is W. For Wuss?
And his fans say W. Is decisive. He never changes his mind. I call that stupid. Moronic. Rigid. Inflexible. Don't confuse him with facts or logic or expert opinion. I suppose he is all-knowing since he sees no need to read.
But this election was about "values." That word can mean a lot of things. Some perverts "value" sexual acts with young children. That term must come from some de-constructionalist pop intellectualism of the sixties. W. And his supporter are the so-called Christians. Read the Gospels, at least the first three (John is not very historical), and see what Jesus actually said . Rove would have a field day with that stuff. The big issues being abortion (an old standby), gay marriage (a brilliant wedge issue to take the heat off all the failures of W) and stem cells (the new abortion issue). Europe must laugh at this shit.
Of course 9-11 was a wonderful event for Bush. They got to put in the Nazi Act (but call it the "Patriot" Act instead). That name reminds me of the novel 1984. Newspeak anyone? The sheep were frightened by a rainbow of alerts. Always a new plot against us. Only W. Who can protect us. Yea, a duty-dodging imbecile who took the month off before 9-11. And then he gets us into this wasteful war in Iraq that has no connection to 9-11, but most Americans still believe there is a connection. Without 9-11 and all related, attention would be on how much he has fucked our economy.
Which brings me to the economy. You can bet I will rant many times on this issue. But here I will limit myself to the election. The fundamentals are horrible: Household debt, Federal deficit, Flow of Funds and Trade Deficit. The stock market tanked. Many are unemployed or in lesser jobs. A series of tax cuts, record low interest rates and statistical manipulation have propped up the economy. And here's a fun fact: Bush has never vetoed a spending bill.
I would consider the last four years an utter failure. But the scared sheep of America, rigid and ignorant in their views, re-elected him. The spin by Rove was masterful, like a con-man, and sold us a piece of garbage at a high cost we will be paying for years.
Have I mentioned that I hate Bush?
