NO MORE MR. LOVEABLE

It's official: The gloves are off. I've reached that limit. I'm really sick of all the lying scum suckers that have made lucrative careers in politics. They are all screwing us and I've been disgusted by them for decades but it's hit a peak for me. They all, with absolutely no exception, stink. Take the current Republican field vying for the opportunity to cash in on the Presidency.

Mitt Romney: He's clearly a dick. He's a multimillionaire whose recent claim to making a fortune was at the helm of an investment group that specializes in taking over companies and making even more money anyway they can. That always includes firing people and cutting benefits. Always. Now he wants to run the country the same way. Here's a guy that earned somewhere in the neighborhood of $20,000,000 last year and paid less then 15% in taxes. I'm seeing (and hearing) little motivation for him to review a tax code that obviously benefits him and he's friendly campaign donors.

Newt Gingrich: I could classify him as a “dick”, too but calling him a pompous lying asshole is much more accurate. He's made a lucrative career out of lying and what better place then in politics? Just for example, his recent political ads have him claiming full credit for balancing the budget over four years. Quite the accomplishment since the budget has never been balanced since 1957. Mix in the fact that ole Newt was never in a position to ever “balance the budget” and was forced out of his position in Congress and you have a clear picture of a guy who can never be trusted.

Ron Paul: He's just fucking crazy. This is a guy who, for all intents and purposes, appears to have recently arrived here from another planet. Some of his ideas are decent but so radical that he'd have an impossible task implementing them if he was King. If we were trying to build a third world country from the ground up he might be a good choice.

That other guy: There's supposedly another candidate out there but I'll be damned if I can remember who the irrelevant sucker is. I think it's Rick Santorum but I'm not sure so I goggled “Santorum”. All you need to know is right there at the top of the search.

But it's not just Republicans that are useless assholes. Right now we (and the rest of the world) are still mired in the Bush Depression. Our current President has demonstrated he's totally incapable of handling the mess he bragged about fixing. Has anything really gotten better? It can be argued that he may have stopped Bush's policies from creating even more destruction but it would be more accurate to simply state the obvious fact that things have pretty much bottomed out.

Because they can cash in on human suffering and fear politicians continue to focus on the worst and lie about things. For one thing, the economy can only get worse in a minimal manner. The dollar isn't going to collapse, no one is foreclosing on the US because we can't pay our bills, terrorists are not going to blow up your kids elementary school, the swine flu will not wipe out mankind, and on and on.

The government is not a business. It's not a career. It's supposed to be a group of people leading the nation for the common good. They have all failed and they all need to be called out for being such useless swine. The only way to ever change things (and any change would be for the better) is to never vote for a major party candidate evr again for any office. Never. But you will and it will ultimately be your fault. Thanks.
