Another Electoral Wrestling Match
by James Buchanan
Americans never get to vote on things that can seriously affect their lives. Americans didn’t get to vote on “busing.” Some judicial tyrant ruled that Blacks should be bused into White neighborhoods and liberal politicians made sure that it happened. Conservatives were hiding under their beds too afraid to oppose it.
The same can be said for illegal immigration, the outsourcing of millions of manufacturing jobs, anti-White racial quotas and allowing hundreds of thousands of Indians and Pakis to immigrate here legally to flood the labor market . Apparently us peasants can’t be trusted to vote correctly on any of these issues.
We’re supposed to be represented by elected politicians. Unfortunately, the cost of being elected to Congress has shot up into the millions of dollars and politicians are more loyal to the big corporations than they are to the voters. The elections seem to be put on as a show. Our elections often seem just like wrestling matches where the winner is predetermined and the whole election is just a show.
During the 2004 election, whenever Bush was on the ropes and his popularity sinking, Kerry would sabotage his own campaign. It was exactly like a wrestling match, where the wrestlers pretend to injure each other. They overreact when they are “hit” and eventually the wrestler, whose turn it was to win, wins.
Back in 2004, when everyone was disgusted with Bush for saying if he had it to do all over, he would invade Iraq again, Kerry came out and said almost exactly the same thing. Kerry had a chance to do a flying body slam on a dazed George Bush, but he didn’t. Jon Stewart of the Daily News exclaimed “He’s trying to lose.” Well, he probably was trying to lose.
Remember the “Swiftboat vets for ‘truth.’ ” Karl Rove found some Swiftboat vets who hated Kerry and let them spread rumors and lies about Kerry’s service. None of those vets served on Kerry’s boat.
Kerry just let himself be beaten up for two months without defending his military record. Kerry should have gotten the men who actually served on his swiftboat to speak up for him immediately, not after Americans heard unchallenged lies for two months. (If Kerry were running a serious campaign, he would have already contacted his war buddies and had them doing commercials for him from the very start of the campaign.)
Rove, Cheney and Bush were running around with frat buddies in the 60s and 70s drinking too much and NOT serving in the Vietnam War, but these three cowards convinced many Americans to condemn Kerry because ONE of his THREE wounds was “only” a small shrapnel wound.
I wouldn’t want a Massachusetts liberal as president, but that Swiftboat episode was absolutely shameless. Shirkers complaining about one of three wounds suffered by a real war veteran. Egads!!
Americans want the Mexican border sealed off, but all we’re going to get out of the 2006 election is a possible spanking of the Republicans and a fence. If the 20 million illegals in the US aren’t deported and if the fence and unfenced portion of the border doesn’t have enough agents, the fence will be meaningless, just like a wrestling match.
