Look at the characters above. They all look silly and abnormal, except for one.
This little picture banner represents the choices that Americans have for President this year. I left out certain long-shots who are polling way behind or are just too much of a waste of space to mention (i.e.-Michelle Bachman).
I know that I am repeating myself, but when I look at the “viable choices” that are offered for President this year, on both sides, I cannot help but feel revulsion. Where do they find these people? Where do they come from?
Let’s take a look at each of these “viable candidates” which are being offered up as choices by the powers-that-be this election year.
1. Mitt Romney
What is his claim to fame and to the presidency? That he’s a successful businessman. Yeah, that’s right! Because that’s all that matters when you run for President of the US: that you are a “good businessman.”
Someone needs to tell Old Mitt that there is a lot more to it than being a good businessman. You see, there are a lot of people out there who are not businessmen, and who don’t have millions of dollars like Mitt does.
A while back Old Mitt setup a company named Bain Capital. Their job? To buy up companies and sell them off, resulting in many lost jobs. When confronted with this, especially when he was campaigning in South Carolina where in the early 1990s his firm ended up putting thousands out of work in the city of Gaffney, he turns this around by saying that he created “A 100,000 jobs.” Oh yeah? But how many jobs did he kill? I bet more than 100,000. Remember this: Mitt’s job was NOT to create jobs, but to create profits, by whatever means possible.
Old Mitt reminds me of the movie “Other People’s Money” that came out in the early 1990s (a coincidence?) about a money-hungry corporate raider named Lawrence Garfield, played by Danny DeVito, who bought a cable & wire company, sank it, and sold it off, resulting in lost jobs. This is pretty much what Mitt has been doing. But at least in the movie, the antagonist felt some guilt and remorse at the end, and there was even a happy ending (that’s Hollywood for you). But Mitt feels nothing. It’s just business as usual, and there will not be any happy endings with him. Ruining other peoples’ lives is a badge of honor for him, it seems. Maybe they should make a sequel to that movie but call it “Other Peoples’ Lives,” and get Mitt to write the script.
Mitt Romney is just another opportunist who is using lies and manipulation to go after more power and privilege. Just look at his face. It is not the face of an honest person. Look at those dark soulless voids that pass for eyes and that cheap salesman’s smirk. All that is missing are the words “I am a fake!” written in red across his forehead.
Mitt Romney made his fortune by taking away the livelihoods of others for more and more profits and privilege for himself. He will do the same when elected. He owns 6 houses, 6! This is while millions are pushed out of their homes. And to add insult to injury, a lot of these same people are considering electing this fraud.
Mitt Romney is just another ambitious a**hole millionaire who wants even more wealth and power, and who will not hesitate to walk over anyone he can to get it. The man has shown himself as a bulls*****r and he is seriously out of touch with the average working person. He lives in a world of privilege and comfort. He cannot relate to what the bottom 99% are feeling and going through. Just find some of his comments about the OWS protesters. He does not really care about the average person. To him, these are just pawns and rubes to exploit for votes. After he gets their votes, he will sell these people out, just like all those people he sold after taking over companies while at Bane.
His views on foreign policy are also monstrous. He is all for bombing and invading other nations who don’t feel like taking orders from the US, and thinks that defending Israel is some kind of America’s sacred duty, whatever the sacrifice. He is totally subservient to the MIC and the banksters which crashed so many economies. This is why he is being portrayed as “viable.” Yeah, but to who? Not the poor saps that are out of work or facing foreclosure. Mitt has also blamed lazy welfare recipients and deadbeats for the economic crisis, instead of his Wall St. buddies, where the fault lies. To this day he still believes this. Mitt is the kind of guy who thinks that hard work=wealth. But if that were true, then the majority of Americans would be in the same income bracket as old Mitt.
He passes himself off as a moral person. But where’s the morality in ruining other peoples’ lives for profit, Mitt? Why can’t all these rubes out there see this? Maybe because Mitt keeps on spitting out cob-web-ridden myths of American exceptionalism, by telling them that America is number one, that America can do no wrong, and that America is the best and always right. This is the stuff that really works on dumbasses, it seems. I can give a lengthy list as to why, and where, America is no longer number one, or certainly is number one in all the wrong things, but that is a post for another day.
Mitt Romney is a very rich guy who does not have poor friends. For him, or anyone else to think that having lots of money gives them the right to be president, is just plain sociopathic. Let the millionaires vote for him if they want to.
It’s so typical of the MIC-Bankster cartel and their prostitutes in the media to offer up someone like Mitt Romney as the most electable candidate. If he is elected, he will run the government like he ran his venture capital firm. Those retards at the bottom who elected him will definitely be left with a scorching case of buyer’s remorse for having bought Mitt’s BS. Mitt Romney needs to understand that government is NOT a business to be ran for the personal enrichment and benefit of himself and his wealthy cronies and campaign backers.
Mitt Romney is a very bad choice for President. His ideas are dangerous and ignore reality. He will wreak havoc upon this land.
Beware of this freak!
2. Rick Perry
This nutty loon who is the governor of Texas is another unstable character. He is known to initiate public prayer-a-thons for all sorts of reasons, including a statewide prayer for rain after months of continuous drought.
He is a social conservative and in love with everything Israel. He hates Iran, Syria and any other country which does not want to take orders from the US and sell itself cheap to the corporate swine.
He is of course a millionaire, no doubt thanks to his belief in Jesus, who we all know only loved millionaires and was one too!
I am not going to repeat Perry’s beliefs because they are just a carbon copy of Mitt. This guy does not appear to be very smart and has waffled and dodged questions throughout his campaign. He is heavy on right-wing talking points and discredited propaganda but lighter than air when it comes to substance. He is another character who thinks that the “free-market” is sacred and must be nourished in every way it can (even by government), but that needy people who are struggling because of his bankster pals fraud and thievery are parasites and have to be forcefully removed from the government teat. But all that does is free up another teat for Goldman Sachs and Raytheon. To be fair, Mitt feels this way too.
Rick Perry; another wealthy, religious and self-righteous bigmouth loon whose grossly inflated ego has eclipsed his raisin sack of intelligence.
Beware of this nut as well!
3. Newt Gingrich
Wow, I never thought I’d see this 5-times reheated pile of leftovers as a presidential contender, but here he is, once again true to his name and trying to slither onto the world stage.
Newt has been a hard-line right winger for a while. In 1994, he led the Republican Party to recapture both houses of congress, in what was dubbed the “Republican Revolution.” After that, Newt unveiled his “Contract with America” and went after everything non-republican and caused a fiasco. The Republican congress accomplished nothing with their plans and Newt left in disgrace.
He has espoused dangerous ideas and made comments which show an approaching senility/dementia. He has recently stated that the Palestinians do not exist, countering thousands of years of history. Yeah, he was pandering to the Israeli lobby in order to garner votes, but to deny the existence of an entire population is just way over the top. I hope he was not serious!
Newt passes himself off as a moralist, even though he has cheated on his first wife and been divorced. He also converted to Catholicism to marry his 2nd wife (the one he had an affair with).
He is also for militarism and bombing any nation which does not want to take orders from the US and which is hesitant to sell itself and its people cheap to the highest western corporate bidder.
Newt is another washed-up and bad choice. Stay away from this one. Voting him in would not be good for anyone’s mental health.
4. Barack Obama
This one needs no introduction, so I will go straight to the point.
He swore he would be for the little guy; he swore he will end corporate and financial thievery and corruption; he swore he will end the wars; he swore he will bring hope and change to America.
What has he done?
Right after he won election in 2008, he got rid of his progressive advisers and replaced them with banking industry cronies and war hawks. His rapprochement with the Muslim world and Iran have been frauds, as we can see with his contempt for the Arab Spring in those countries where compliant US-approved dictators and sheiks rule.
His attempt to mend fences with Iran was also fraudulent, as he appointed Dennis Ross, a pro-Israeli Zionist hawk, to be his representative to Iran. It was like a fox sending a weasel to the chicken coop to tell the chickens that they should all be friends. Now, Obama is threatening Iran with attack, and has been ordering clandestine missions into Iran in order to destabilize the country and soften it up for “regime change.” All this is done under the cover of falsely accusing Iran of developing nuclear weapons.
Obama has shown himself to be dishonest and opportunistic. He has signed off on every bankster-inspired plan to rob the many to give to the few. He threw some peanut shells to the rabble in order to shut them up in the form of an extra $20 per pay check and some half-baked economic stimulus which ended up not doing that much good. In return, he has cut money from Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. There have been no tax cuts. What there was, and continues to be, is a tax transfer. Those people who are on Medicaid will know what I am talking about, as their co-pays have either have gone up or have appeared for the first time when they take their kids to the doctor. This is one of the many sneaky things that have been done so that the banksters can have their bailouts. Obama promised to help struggling homeowners stay in their houses and help renegotiate their loans. But the homeowner assistance program has been an abject failure and has allowed the banksters to amass even more government money, while leaving the homeowners out in the cold.
Recently, Obummer has signed into law the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), allowing him, and any future US president, to arrest or assassinate people who are deemed not only a threat to America, but who so much as say or do anything to threaten any perceived American interest. Americans can also now be arrested and held indefinitely or even assassinated if they are deemed, for any reason, to be a security threat. The proponents of this law point to a line that seems to exempt American citizens from the law’s provisions, but when the law is read further, it becomes clear that no one is exempt. And the list of what constitutes a “security threat” has been expanded. Now, anyone who protests a war, or who says or shows any empathy or support, even non-material, to anyone whom the US government designates as an enemy, is now subject to this disgusting law’s provisions.
The US is becoming Stalinist Russia. Just like the Soviet government at that time, the US government will leave you alone as long as you sit down and shut up and do not criticize the government’s decisions or its leadership. The moment you do, you are considered a threat to public order and the safety of the homeland and are “brought in.”
Obama, in order to placate the rubes, even put a signing statement saying that he finds this law’s provisions troubling and may not abide by them in order to preserve the ideals and protections that made America great.
Shit! Don’t cry those crocodile tears, Mr. Obama! Why the hell did you sign it, if you see it as a threat to “American laws and ideals?”
What a two-faced hypocrite!
I never thought that the day would come for me to say this, and frankly, I hoped it never would. But unfortunately, the day has come for me to say what was considered sacrilegious just a few years ago: Barack Obama is even worse than George W. Bush. Not only has Obama continued the rotten and illegal policies and practices of his dim-witted predecessor, but he has made things even worse.
Why isn’t anyone challenging Obama from within his own party? Are the rest of the Democrats that scared of him? Do they really think that Obama is so great that no one needs to challenge him? Why the hell are the democrats even having a presidential convention this year when no other candidate is up for consideration besides Obama? It seems like a waste of peoples’ time and money to me.
Obama is a liar at worst and a coward at best. He let the freaks which ruined this nation have virtually anything they wanted and did not stick to his promises and principles. As a result, the US is even worse off today than it was in November of 2008.
Obama has failed those who counted on him and proved that he is no better that the warmongering monkey who came before him.
Do not vote for this fake, again!
5. Ron Paul
There is a reason why that picture banner above presents the first 4 candidates as ridiculous and comical, and only shows one candidate’s real picture.
This is so, because Ron Paul is the sanest choice that Americans can make in this presidential election. It is because he is the real deal. He does not sell himself to the highest bidder and goes whichever the popular winds blow.
He is the only one who sticks to the law and his principles, and this has both the Republican and Democratic Party machines nervous. If there is one thing which the powers-that-be and their whores in the media and in corporate halls cannot stand and seriously fear, is a candidate that sticks to the law and does not allow themselves to be corrupted.
I do not agree with Ron Paul 100% on every issue, but he is sticking to the constitution and the law on principle, and is not letting himself be frightened away by the establishment’s bullhorns and has the courage to stand his ground. This is admirable.
Because of his refusal to be just another corrupt front-man, he has been ridiculed and ignored by the mainstream media. There are many instances where Ron Paul polled ahead of the other favored contenders, but was ignored. Pundits also called him “out of touch” with the mainstream on foreign policy.
It is Ron Paul’s stance on foreign policy where he really shines. Ron Paul wants a non-interventionist foreign policy. He wants to liquidate the US Empire of bases and cut all defense spending beyond what is necessary for simple defense. He wants to do away with bloat and waste and foreign misadventures. He wants to leave Iran, Syria and other nations alone. He wants the US to stop threatening and provoking other nations and leaders and leave them alone.
If this is out of touch with the mainstream, then I say that the mainstream is out of touch with reality. In this reality, .52 cents out of every tax dollar goes to defense spending. In this reality, tens of thousands of soldiers have committed suicide and have suffered mental disorders as a result of being sent to fight in useless and illegal wars. In this reality, a million Iraqis are dead and millions more displaced within Iraq and surrounding countries.
Ron Paul knows that America’s aggressive foreign policy and military overreach is creating hatred and enemies against the US worldwide. And because of these wars and military overextension, the country is broke.
I read a newspaper article where the writer says that Ron Paul is considered the “crazy uncle in the attic” by the Republican establishment. This is BS. I say that Ron Paul is the wise old Uncle who is trying to tell his immature and foolish nephews what is right. But the nephews are too stupid to take his advice.
Ron Paul is the sanest choice of all these contenders for president. His popularity, especially among young people, independents and even democrats has been high. He is one of the top contenders, but listening to the establishment media hacks, you’d think Ron Paul is #10
Watch for Obama and his election year machine to scare democrats who want to jump the fence and vote for Paul being scared away from him with stories that Ron Paul wants to take away their Medicare and Social Security. Also watch for the Republican Party try to scare people away from Ron Paul by calling him soft on terror and weak on defense and make up scary scenarios of Iran terrorizing the US if Ron Paul gets elected. But do not be fooled.
Ron Paul knows the facts. He takes every opportunity to make them be known. He knows what has to be done, and his ideas have been proposed by others for a very long time, like his attitude against the federal reserve, whose time has long come to be gotten rid of.
If the US does not put this man in office, then it means that the vast majority of the US electorate are dunces. If the US electorate cannot seriously consider Ron Paul for the office of President, then they have a lot more growing up to do.
So don’t be like this guy:
I urge you all to support Ron Pau and give him a chance. Not everyone will agree with him 100% on all the issues; heck I don’t, but there is more than enough for me to agree on. This certainly cannot be said of Mitt, Rick, Newt or Obummer who just lie and manipulate their way to the top.
So when you see these presidential contenders on TV, remember that banner at the top of this page, and when you see them speak, match their names with the ridiculous characters on those pictures, because that is exactly what they are, ridiculous, (except for one).
