We, The Knucklehead Party

The Obama and Palin nominations are historic. But is it enough to wrench voters out of their homes? Engage them? Does anyone in either party remember the crimes and embarrassments brought upon us all in the last eight years? (Actually that would require us to remember the past and I don’t know about you, but that is just way too icky!) Is either Ticket willing to be honest with us about the profound economic and moral black holes we are vanishing into? No. Not enough people give a poop. In November they will simply pick a favorite flavor and pull the blue or red lever.

Sure the Republicans are fired up about the Barracuda, why not? If I were in that camp I’d be toddler-giddy about any new face that didn’t gaze blankly at us with those Rove-Cheney-Bush-McCain fish faces. But is Sarah going to win the election for the Republicans? No. It will be a Republican victory. Remember, Carl creeps around in that Straight-Talking bus. And his machine is brilliant at turning the public against people – not crafting a good candidate – simply destroying an opponent. So that anyone, even an incompetent, resolute fool can be elected twice.

To have a prayer, Obama’s got to rip the gloves off, lose the stale party-speak and the sad “Drill Baby Drill” concessions and talk to the avalanche of mistakes made by who? Not Bush/Cheney, but the Republican Party. If he doesn’t shed the Demo’s tired mantras – the Hawaiian’s gonna’ get crushed like a bug.

We are hurtling toward an election in which America will vote for their blue or red guy or gal. But is anyone really voting for America?
