So all of you hyper-liberal Super Democrats, ask yourselves this question....

What if George Bush's speech writer... no... what if ANY prominent Republican's speech writer was caught on film at a keg party, drunk, coppin' a feel on a cardboard cutout of Hilary Clinton? Along with his drunk friend who is holding a bottle of beer up to her lips?

Upset? Outraged? Angry at the lack of respect being shown?

OK, take a look at this then:



I'm sure that most of you have seen this or heard about this, but THAT... is BARACK OBAMA'S speech writer. Coppin' a feel, drunk and happy.

Still outraged? Still upset? Still angry at the lack of respect?

Yeah, didn't think so.

I did not put this up here to indicate that I am angry with this man for getting hammered. Personally, I find the picture hilarious. He's 27, said to be an incredible wordsmith, and an absolutely brilliant speechwriter. As evidenced by the 'Yes We Can' speech (which, no shit, actually had my mother CRYING). I put this up here to illustrate the vast difference in the acceptance of actions that Democrats have.

I am talking about ALL Democrats. That may be too general for some people, but I know enough Democrats that I can say with a large measure of certainty that any who would be offended if a Republican groped a cardboard Senator would be accepting of a Democrat doing the same thing. The intense double-standard that is prevelant is probably the biggest problem I have with the left. "It's OK for us, but not for them."

Drives me nuts.

I think that everyone starts out more liberal. Everyone starts out as Democrats. It takes something extra, some small push to convince them to be Republican. No one likes war, no one likes killing. It's the Democrat who is outraged by it, and the Republican who says to himself, "I don't like fighting much, but if we're going to get into one, let's make sure we win." No one likes greed, no one likes to be considered a greedy person. It's the Democrat who is outraged that people who work hard and make a lot of money actually like to KEEP it, and it's the Republican who wants to enjoy the fruits of their own labor.

Negative traits that are associated with Republicans like war-mongering and money-grubbing are ridiculous oversimplifications. But the generic outrage that Democrats display over the idea that Republicans are actually Republicans ASTOUNDS me. I make a lot of money, and I give to causes that I believe in. Medical research being most prominent. But one of those causes I believe in is the "Chris works hard and deserves to go out to dinner once in a while," fund. And I don't give a crap about the spotted owl.

I believe that we have managed to prove something disturbing with the election of Obama. Something that was always talked about, always suspected, and we likely all knew. And that is that the best strategy to get elected has nothing to do with your platform, your ideas, your intentions, or your ability for follow through with your promises. The best strategy is to be able to sway or direct the totally uninformed people in our country. Please take a few moments and watch this:



I showed this video to my overly liberal fiance. The point she brought up is that the average Republican also would have difficulty answering similar questions about their candidate. I don't think this is true. Most of my friends back in Michigan are Republicans, and all of them know who Harry Reid is.

Logically, there are more stupid people in this country than there are smart people. So the 'stupid' demographic is one that has to be taken into account. And I am starting to come around to the idea that our election process needs to be looked at.

We always call the President to most powerful man in the world. He's the one making the decisions. Well, who is more powerful? The man making the decisions, or the people in charge of DECIDING WHO will make the decisions?

I've heard people say that they want the smartest guy in the world calling the shots. They want the guy with 2 PhD's who can bend spoons with his mind and crush bricks with his thoughts in the white house. I don't disagree. But the majority of people who are choosing who to put in the oval office have single digit IQ's and move their lips when the read. (And as you can see if you watched the video, that level of idiocy is not confined to 3rd generation inbred rednecks. Even the most stauch liberal can be stupid.)

We have managed to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt this time around, that the best and most effective way to get elected is to manipulate the masses. Maybe that's how it should be, because dumber people represnt a majority of the country, so we should make dumb decisions that reflect how most of the country thinks.

And THAT... is what scares me the most.
