Same old corn, different flakes.
In my view, nothing could define the front runners for the presidency of the United States better than this one single picture.
These are the sideshow characters we Americans are being handed by the powers that be as prospects for our next president.
Now with added nuts.
Now we have to suffer the inane ramblings of yet another minor player, Senator Ken Salazer of Colorado, who is telling us on national TV that when we vote we make our voices heard... on the issues, on what counts to us.
Completely false.
In a presidental campaign, we don't vote on issues. We don't vote on what matters to us. We don't vote on any of the things that will affect the influence and reputation of our country, the public and private conduct of our government, or in what direction this nation will be taken.
We don't vote on what new laws will be signed into effect. We don't vote on what the new foreign policy will be. How many of us actually voted on the NAFTA superhighway?
We don't vote on anything that the president and the federal government will decide to do.
When we vote, we vote for a manufactured personality, a finely tuned and crafted personality that has little or no connection to the real individual or their true agenda. These are people who lie with ease. They are masters of mis-direction. They evade the real issues with all the skills of a seasoned actor. They say whatever they think wll help them get elected. They make whatever promises they think will get votes, not to become a dedicated servant of the people, but to win that greatest of prizes, the oval office.
So what we really vote on in a presidental election is the image that told us the best lies, made the best promises, the image that stirred up the most adrenaline, the one that gave us the best tingle up our spine.
CHANGE, they all shout. But regardless of whichever one does get there, nothing will change.
Same old corn, different flakes.
