Making the Best Of a Bad Election Cycle by JB Williams

This day has been a long time coming. We’ve arrived at a time in American history when we have reached the bottom of the barrel in terms of political talent and no decent American truly qualified to lead the free world would ever even consider entering the cesspool of national politics.
Americans have never been so disgusted with their federal government - and rightfully so. No matter which party the people have put in power, once in Washington DC, all politicians find a way to sell out the American people for a career ride on America’s best get-rich-quick scheme of national politics.
The current president’s low approval rating only looks good when compared to the even lower approval ratings of the Democrat controlled congress, and their overtly biased Democratic Socialist minions in the lamestream press. The American people don’t like or trust any of them and for a change, the American people are right.
Republicans are offering a candidate opposed by 70 percent of traditional Republican voters and Democrats are offering a first term neophyte chameleon, opposed by more than half of traditional Democrat voters.
As a result, third party fantasies are still foolish, but abundant. None of them have a chance to do any more than play spoiler to the two primary party candidates. But for many Americans, just playing spoiler to the two indignant party powers has a certain appeal to it.
How Bad is It?
It’s bad enough that some self-proclaimed “conservatives” are actually considering voting for Barack Obambi, the most inexperienced far left member of the U.S. Senate, while many life-long Democrats are planning on voting for Republican John McCain, the most unpredictable career member of the U.S. Senate.
Thomas Sowell asks “What’s going on?” [1] in regards to so-called conservatives for Obambi, while the oldest progressive (Democratic Socialist) magazine in America, Progressive.org, [2] sucker-punches the most progressive member of congress for not being progressive enough. They are right in their attacks too, for a change. I just can’t comprehend why a leftist magazine would ever attack a leftist candidate, but they are.
Obambi isn’t old enough, but McCain is too old. Obambi isn’t black enough, but McCain, despite his years as a guest of the Hanoi Hilton, is not patriotic enough, according to some of the most unpatriotic people in America.
It’s bad, real bad…
