Politics is full of stupid
I caught a really big stupid on a political ad out of Missouri this morning. The fact that I was able to do it at 6 in the morning before coffee shows you just how stupid it was.
The Republican candidate for governor was against "putting more money into the Obama health care programs" because it's "government run health care" and Nancy Pelosi and her comrades were going to take 500 million from Medicare for seniors (obvious pandering to the senior vote in a state where the majority of Republican voters are no doubt older folks) and yadda yadda to give more health care to poorer people there, who obviously don't need any help.
Although I just heard the other day on Missouri radio that 70% of the women in Missouri don't have enough insurance or any insurance to pay for regular mammograms nor for breast cancer treatments, but they don't need no stinkin government health care reforms. (yes that was sarcasm....didn't you hear it?)
Hey...isn't Medicare government run health care? Why is a guy who hates it so much in principle, or so he says, promising to increase Medicare funding? Isn't that a vote for increased government run health care too...just the kind his voters want?
I tell you, if some whippersnapper insulted my intelligence that much in a political ad, I'd not only not vote for them, I'd run over his ass with my power scooter.
I'm hoping, probably to no avail, that there are people smart enough to figure out how much they're being bullshitted by some politicians in these ads (and not just Republicans, but so far, I'm stepping in a lot more donkey shit around here than elephant...I think it's partly desperation to win back what was lost in the last election) and just vote issues.
Does anyone just fucking vote issues anymore? Nah, it's all like a small town high school foot ball game where there's a lot of good ol boy ass slapping, nasty boasting and praying to Jaysus win on both sides, but when it's all said and done, someone goes home feeling pretty sore and shitty about losing, because it's all about winning and losing in America, and just how far you'll go to win.
