What happens one year from today? Not November 6, 2008, but the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, 2008, which will be the 4th. That's right. It will be Election Day! It's only a year away! A mere fifty-two weeks is all we have to decide whether to continue to vote for the Democrap-Repulsican Oligarchy that exists in every capitol building in this country, especially that really big one in the District of Columbia, or to vote for something else. And you don't vote for something else by not voting. And you don't vote for something else by voting for some splinter group that usually splintered away because they didn't get their way in purporting the import of the stupidest parts of the whole stupid oligarchy.
But you do vote! You have to vote! Because so many have not voted in years, if ever, is why we are being decimated and destroyed by this oligarchy. What exactly is this oligarchy to which I reportedly refer? Webster's II New Riverside University Dictionary says that oligarchy is "government by a few, especially by a small group or class" and/or "the persons or families making up such a class." As American government is "of and by the people" therein lies the first oligarchy. A minuscule per centage of eligible Americans choose to participate in the process. The few within that per centage consist of a class of voters, who, by and large, probably shouldn't be allowed to vote. This class is comprised of power mad politicians who will give away anything that's not theirs, in pursuit of public power, and the pathetic, poor-minded putzes who vote for them, who will take anything that's not theirs, in pursuit of personal peculation. And of course, the second oligarchy is, oh, I don't know...Kennedys, Rockefellers, Bush's, Clintons....over-educated, under-intelligent, Ivy League idiots, who, for all of their breeding and schooling, have absolutely no knowledge of the planet or the people on it.
And in voting next year, don't trouble yourselves over this bedraggled beauty contest of the Presidential campaign. It really doesn't matter. What really matters is for whom you vote for Congress. While it is always easier to single out one person for criticism than to blame 535, it is also easier to diffuse that criticism among that 535. Presidents throughout the last decades have all suffered from low approval ratings. Such ratings are trumpeted by a complicit media right up to today with George W. Bush's horrible poll numbers, which, as bad as they are, are better than the approval numbers that are being afforded to our present Congress. This is the conundrum. Everybody says that Congress sucks, except for their Representative and Senators. Let me tell you, something, people: your Representative and Senators are just like mine. Though I think that my Representative and Senators are probably as good as any, and better than most on Capitol Hill, all three of them are oligarchal, party line political hacks who need to be replaced. Just like yours.
So, who do we choose to replace them? Replace them with people you know. The local grocer, or gas station operator. The salesman who lives next door to you. Maybe the private school teacher or non-union factory or retail worker. Anybody other than this continuing continuum of lawyers, lawyers, and more lying, cheating, conniving, shyster lying lawyers! And do it next year! 2010 may be too late.
