The real raw deal

If you are likeminded , you can agree with and cower to this gloom and doom forecast and gnash your teeth and wring your hands about the certain demise of the american dream. On the other hand, if you are a comrade commissar of the GOP, you can dig up a proportionate amount of propaganda that negates what Michael presents to us in his chilling commentary.Who in the hell is telling the truth here?Are we doomed to another depression, or are blue skies and golden dreams just around the corner?
If you are like me (god help you) you wantto buy into the Bush spin,but you cannot deny what you see unfolding around you domestically and globally. He's a puppet, a liar, a friend of the super rich. He's also a fucking dolt, a killer, and a drug addict/alcoholic who traded in his chemical vices to abuse the system and the working class much like regular working class addicts drink coffee and chain smoke.
And what of Kerry? OK, sure...he went to Viet Nam, he won earned some medals. This carries major credibility for me, especially when he came back home and denounced the war in such a public way. A picture of a working class hero. But he's not. He's as privileged as bunnypants,if not more, and his VP mate is just as bad on the "more money than people should have" economic scale.It reminds me of that scene in "Platoon", when Charlie Sheen is telling King he volunteered for the experience and King says "You gotta be rich to think like that".Plus, he's married to a monied woman who strikes me as a bitch, whose demands of him are answered in a "my mother makes the best brisket" kind of pussywhipped roll over and pee on yourself way.Plus she looks like an old barfly...ok, that was a cheap shot. But I swear I got a blo...nevermind about that Denny's parking lot in '80.There's something about him that just isn't right, but I'll take apprehension over fact, and the fact is Bunnypants is the human incarnation of the downfall of the USof A, as much as he would like for you to believe he has the answer, his answer is not the way.His answer is the way to the end. An ugly, ugly end. You might have a shitload of money when the end comes, but it's still the end, the end doesn't care about money, and it's still over for you rich guy...your'e still just as dead as me.
These are rich, privileged people pretending to know what's best for us and I'm here to tell you they don't have a fucking clue. Neither party can address the issues confronting this nation because neither party has been there in a long, long time.
