Enough Already!

Election years wear me out. Politicians sinking lower and lower in their campaign tactics; bloggers blogging endlessly about who they hate and why; name-calling, mud-slinging, ranting, fanatical soap-boxing; and to what end??? Do folks really think their votes make a difference?? REALLY??

OK, for those of you still laboring under the grand delusion that we live in a "democracy," let me take this one moment to voice my "political" view. (And if you think about it, you just might agree.) This is very abbreviated so try to work with me here.

Clear your mind... open your eyes... just take it all in without extreme prejudice... this won't hurt a bit...

Let's start with the most powerful man in the country... George Dub? - I mean he IS the President and Chief Executive. Do we not look to him in times of crisis for national guidance and assurance? P-Shaw!! The most powerful man in the country is... Alan Greenspan! Maybe even the world. Now that is established, (and I can talk about why he is the most powerful but that is a completely different subject) let's move on to the democratic farce.

We can use simple logic:

Alan Greenspan is omnipotent
Omnipotence is defined by wealth
Wealth equates to money
Money is power
Power is the ability to control
Control resides in the Chief Executive Office.
Chief Executive Office is inhabited by the President.

Extrapolating from the afore, we can infer that the most important occupation of the wealthy is the preservation of money, i.e. power, and the way to do this is to determine the occupancy, i.e. puppetry, of the Chief Executive Office. AND, what that adds up to is an Oligarchy, not a democracy.

Additionally, if you still think there are two reigning political parties in this country, once again, Confused! The Republican and Democratic factions are merely lip-service to an incredibly antiquated Constitution, and crutches for a nation that needs to identify with a "cause" - an excuse to shout and argue about meaningless policies and stances that will never become part of our governmental foundation, much less affect our daily lives. We have one party and that is the Roosevelt/Vanderbilt/Carnegie/Kennedy party that wrangles around and searches for the most compliant candidates and then shuffles them into a figurehead position where their every action can be controlled, manipulated, and dictated by the needs and desires of the wealthy/powerful who only respond to the dictates of the world economy, not world politics.

Money makes the world go 'round, and makes your vote worthless. Sorry, it's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. I will be glad to debate more in-depth in person and at length over a frothy wheat beer. Otherwise, I confine my views to this post, and I move on to much more immediate frivolity.
