You can't fix what you can't see
Flawed and fatal premises,
>
Loony, goony McCain is in. Goofus, doofus Romney is out. Faggy, draggy Giuliani is REALLY out. Hillary is happy, Edwards is sad, Obama, Obama, Obama meet you all the way O-bam-a ... yeah ...

They want to do something for America, for me and for you. They want to bring peace and/or war, they are: a swirling, black mass of confusion and contradictions where no light escapes. They think: if they use enough words, utter enough phrases something will stick.

Ambition is their salient quality. Their penchant for unsubstantiated claims, such as, being able to keep us safe, only reflects their inherent dishonesty and such a grandiose overestimation of their abilities and power, that only a fool would take them up on their version/vision of America but that's the choice, one of the above.

Perhaps, Hillary is different, perhaps Obama, more than likely Edwards is, but first we must pick the least bad candidate to put up against the republican's least bad candidate in order to, theoretically, end up with the least bad president.

This form of reductionism pitts the people's David against the world's Goliath. David invariably turns to his arsenal of sling shots and bombs only to become a bigger, badder Goliath.

Goliath can't be defeated, he exists in you and me. We cannot elect our way our of our obligation to purge him from our souls and we can't bother to believe that either, it's the one, best solution that will never be enacted.

As long as one person is willing to participate in evil the finely tuned apple cart is upset and we all lose. We have witnessed here, right here, the results of our unwillingness to negotiate, to own up to our failures and selfishness. Somehow, people like Bush, McCain, Romney and to an unknown extent, Hillary think that only by becoming more obtuse can we twist the world to our will.

Historical perspective will show how one small, extremely successful attack on our shore ripped open a chasm that was there already. Gene
