Presidential Crazy Talk

It's that time of the year again, The presidential election is just around the corner. Oh wait, it's 19 months away. And it's going to be a long one. Most people don't pay attention to politics until they really need to. That's usually about 2-4 months before the election.

The GOP field is full of wannabe presidential contenders. There's the possibility of 19 who may strive for the nomination. That's nuts. And with the creation of super PACS some will be able to stay in the race long past their "Best By" date. All it takes is money.

The thing that makes me a little crazy is when an egotistical politician says the line, "I'm going to see what God wants me to do." Are you shitting me? You think god talks to you personally? You are schizophrenic if you are hearing voices. And mentally ill people should not be elected to high office.

Those politicians who wrap themselves in the bible are just bullshitting the gullible voters. They are  voters who want the person they vote for to believe what they believe. But when you have that as metric for giving up your vote, you allow yourself to be lied to by people who are just going to tell you what you want to hear.

So far the GOP field has one unified message. Hillary Clinton is bad. Their reasoning is the stuff of a right wing radio program. If they mention another thing in a campaign speech, it's Barack Obama is bad. All the reasons are the same ones they have used to fuck the president for the past 6 years.

Great. They hate Hillary and the president. Got it.

What do they want to do? What is their vision for the country. If all you have to say for 19 months is Hillary is bad, no one but your base will vote for you. You have to have more than hatred. And if that hatred includes bombing the shot out of Iran, get off the stage.

Negative campaigns don't really work. They make moderate people think you are an asshole. And if you are an asshole, no one votes for you.

I got to stop watching political shows...
