Reflections before The One (Barry Obama) is Crowned

I rediscovered the following comment which was left on a blog post just over one year ago which was about the time my complete and utter discontent with the all to long election cycle began. I can’t help but feel completely disconnected from my government right now really to the point where I’ll spend the next four years looking over my should while I try to help where I can to rebuild what local governmental power we have left.. which is where the real power should be locally and with the people.. not with some would be political messiah in a district known as Columbia. On to the quote:

I thought the analogy put out there the last day or so about this campaign being like the guy who can’t figure out why girls aren’t going for him, when he is everything that girls say they want. The reality is that girls don’t really want what they say they want. Same thing here. All the talk among the American electorate about wanting a focus on issues and wanting a leader, not a politician, etc is just talk. When it comes down to it, the American electorate is fickle and superficial.

Fred[Thompson] ran a campaign based on believing that the American electorate was sincere. He has found out that the American electorate is as insincere and superficial as most of the politicians they complain about.

Oh well. We will all get what we deserve come November.

We have a lot to learn. Lets hope we learn fast.
