Fools and Politics



You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time. -Abraham Lincoln, (attributed)

You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.
-George W.Bush


I just happened across the second quote while verifying the first. If that isn't the slogan of the McCain/Palin campaign, I don't know what is.

Now Palin's husband won't testify in trooper inquiry. What a great tactic, really. "Well, because some Democrats said she is probably guilty, we cannot get a fair investigation and so we won't have one at all! Nyah nyah nyah!" You have to wonder if they came up with it before they considered her for VP, or just winged it after the fact. Who cares what really went on! We can stonewall the whole investigation until after the elections! All we have to do is blame the Dems, knowing there's enough blind haters out there, we can pull it off!

What a complete and utter joke the Rs campaign has become. Toss enough mud and blow enough smoke and at least half of the country won't even bother to follow the story line, and just BAA their way all to the polls like sheep. I do believe there are intelligent Rs out there who have to see through this crap as well, but don't care as long as it works.

In Tarot, the Fool is a light-hearted card, representing beginnings and starting anew. That's sure as hell not going to be the case with a McCain/Palin administration. I have spent 8 years mumbling or yelling I told you so!!! to the voters who blindly followed Bush, and then seemed shocked at the outcome. It cannot happen again.
