Strategery Of The Campaigns Revealed
It is obvious that the presidential campaign has now entered a new phase. The "BUTT UGLY" phase. This is the point where each candidate must accomplish two things. First, they must fire up the base. This means that misrepresentation of the other candidate is essential. The base loves it when their candidate gets in digs on the other guy. It makes them want to go vote. Even in the world of the blogger, sites who once prided themsleves on polite well reasoned discourse have subsituted intelligent sparring with sheer stupidity. To do this the natural human drive to think must be overcome by a need to express partisan views. These guys are like the natives about to sacrifice a human in an old black and white movie. They start out nice enough but then their behavior grows wilder and wilder until the deed is done. Blogs that I have enjoyed visiting have now reverted to this new standard. I guess I'll avoid them the way a woman must avoid a Vulcan with a seven year itch. Even the "Daily Show" is now really only funny to those on the left. His goal is no longer to entertain, but to get Kerry elected. Venues that were already partison have gotten worse.
But the political landscape isn't just the base. Nope, their is a another group out there. Hence, political goal number two. The second goal is to recruit morons who are over 18. These are the clowns whose IQ suggests that they like the red meat of the campaign. They think that what they are hearing is actually information. It's like a tourist watching alligators being fed rotten fish and saying, "Look at them gators scarf that stuff up. It must be some good eatin'. Hey man, where can I get some of that stuff?"
If you want to see the final episode of this reality TV show, tune in to the next presidential debate. If you want the next president to be chosen based on who wins the debate, remember that the winner is the one who is better at misrepresenting the other guy. That's what this phase is all about.
Fortunately the average American is pretty smart. We have to believe in that. They proved it with good questions in the last debate. And despite all of my complaining, I like the system. At least it' s interesting to watch.
By the way, if you are tourist who likes rotten fish, I apologize.
