Trust No One

I have not written a political post in quite awhile. I have been found guilty of what falls everyone who deals in politics at one time or another which is to worry about offending someone. That's right, your fabled disenfranchised and sleep deprived blogger has been worried about offending the masses. However, my close friends have told me that I have to not be afraid of offending people provided that I have something intelligent to say on the subject. They point out my constant bashing of the New England Patriots and Tom Brady. They point out that in my conversation I am always bashing something related to politics. I do not want to be a hypocrite so I have flung myself into the fray of politics and letting the chips fall as they may.

Speaking of chips falling, in Nevada they held caucuses in casinos all over the state. This was to allow degenerate gamblers and buffet line hounds to be involved in the political process for the first time since the mob built all the casinos in the desert in the first place. Actually, I have been told by our biased news agencies that the real reason why caucuses were allowed in casinos was to allow shift workers working in the casinos to participate. Of course, I had to ask, which shifts? I also wonder why they did not hold caucuses in the strip clubs and "bunny ranches." Shouldn't those employees and patrons be allowed in the process? I wonder who they would vote for. Probably not Mike Huckabee. In all seriousness, holding caucuses in the casinos to allow the employees to be able to participate was a wonderful idea. I am always in favor of bringing the vote to the people as opposed to the other way around. The fact that Hilary Clinton so vehemently opposed the idea and fought in vain against it clearly let's me know exactly what her motives are. It also lets me know that I am not sure she can be trusted. Think about this. She was willing to eliminate a voting population who may not have been able to participate in the caucuses due to their social status in order to have a better chance at winning the caucus. Mrs. Clinton so deeply feared that Barack Obama would be the favorite amongst the thousands of hotel and casino workers that she wanted to eliminate them from being a part of the process altogether. This is not some one who is fits the supposed ideals of her political party. This shows that she cares more about winning than the people. So what else is she willing to do just to win? This is what we have heard about. Who knows what other legal action and plotting she has done in order to sway things in her favor.

Is Hilary the only one who would do anything to win? Absolutely not. It is also not exclusive to the democrats either. Mitt Romney, for example, is getting his John Kerry groove on by changing his positions on a number of key GOP issues in order to match the base of the party. He is telegenic and rich. In this American Idol America that may just work. However, when I see Mitt I see someone who has simply flip-flopped on major issues, is a talking head, and I have no clue what he really stands for. The former governor of Arkansas, Mike Huckabee has some rather interesting stances on AIDS and gay people. These stances have been buried away and not on public display, yet. What this means is that he is not telling the people what he really thinks. I care more about someone clearly stating what they stand for as opposed to what the content is. I probably won't agree with Mike's stances on issues, but I want a clear idea exactly what they are. I don't think anyone has really heard them yet. John McCain won South Carolina last night in a close margin with Huckabee. If he had lost South Carolina again, then his campaign would have been over. He has gotten new life and one wonders how much longer he will be able to last. The fact that McCain has been in Washington for two million years as a Congressman should automatically eliminate him as a trustworthy candidate. No one who has been in Congress longer than two years can be considered trustworthy purely by osmosis.

So is anyone trustworthy for the post of President of American Idol Nation? Does it really matter when you think of the line-up of previous desk riders? I mean, in the end, Bush II, Clinton, Bush I all had their interesting twist of the truth and plotting only to win as opposed to serving the people. So all of this comes to no surprise. So what to do now? Go to a casino and play the slots..we all have better chances at winning.
