Let Us End This Crap Now

Fine they finally voted in Pennsylvania and yes, Clinton won by 10 points.  And now the fight will move to North Carolina and Indiana.  Will this ever end?  NO!  The fighting will go on and on and on and…………Everyone is getting weary of this process.  And now we will see what will transpire now….But there should be a way to finally put this stuff to bed and decide on a Dem. candidate.

The Dems need a leader and a frontrunner to get behind and they need it now.  I have thought it over and would like to offer a few suggestion to finally give the American people a rest and a candidate before the Fall.

Since all of them want to look tough, then try these ideas to decide on a winner:

1–Let them suit up and go on UFC and the Octagon and slug it out until one is declared the winner.

2–A duel–stand back to back–take 10 paces turn and fire–Winner!

3–This one was already a gag thing, but on further thought–why not?  A no holds barred wrestling match.

I know these are a bit physical and some would be squeamish, so I also have some less “manly” ways to decide the winner.

1–A cook off–the best scone wins

2–A mullet toss–sling a dead fish as far as they can

3–An eat off–whoever eats the most, pick a food, in the time alloted winners.

4–a badminton match the best 3 out of 5

5–lastly a stare down.

This would not be the best thing for the media, but it would have good ratings from a country obsessed with BS and seldom on issues.

A Political Reality Check

Surrogates on both sides of the Dem campaigns are playing race card, fear card, and several other cards. Please make them stop! All this he said, she said silliness must stop. When talking about to “real” people and not the pundits that are looking for that hook that they can use for a couple of days or even a couple of weeks. Appears the people are getting weary of this negativity, the voters are worried about losing their home or how to feed the kids and the candidates spend all their time spreading manure. Voters really want specifics on issues and not who goes bowling, or does a shooter, or who the candidate has met in the past.

Even when I say that, it appears that I could be mistaken by the vote in Pennsylvania. I have watched this process from the beginning and it is the media that is setting the tone and the direction of these campaigns. Manure is just good ratings. For that reason whenever the candidates are interviewed it is some obscure BS instead of the issues that is talked about. They seem to refuse to make the candidates to face “real” issues that the people need to know.

If this crap continues through the convention, then I could foresee a low voter turn out in the Fall. Why? The voter will see that the change both candidates promise, is just that a promise that will be broken and NOTHING will change in Washington. If there is a low voter turn out then I see McCain winning the general.

What Are The Issues, Now?

Have learned some learned people, men and women, talk about forgotten issues of this election season. Such as education, inner city crime, etc. These people are saying that the candidates are missing an excellent opportunity to discuss these issues on the national stage. That they have the perfect platform for that dialog.

Thinking……Thinking……Thinking……

Okay, where have these smart people been? When we “real” issues ever been the focal point of an election season? (Pause for thought) NEVER! That is when!

The worse group is the mainstream media. These “people” and I use the term losely, concentrate on BS issues and seldom on “real” ones. Sensationalism always trumps reality with the pundits.

Campaigns may start off with the best of intentions, but it quickly degrades into the slinging of mud. Let us be realistic–campaigns are about popularity and electability–seldom about the issues. That would be just Un-American! To put issues and problem solving, ahead of ego.

WORD!
