ron paul super tuesday

Rock on!  The collection of clowns vying to put their feet up on the desk at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is outdone only by the collection of clowns covering them.  I feel like Im peering over the deck of the Titanic at about two oclock ron paul the morning on super tuesday results 15th, 1912.

Never in recent memory has there been a better time for serious, substantive politics.  The number of challenges both parties can address is enormous, ron paul super tuesday to the incompetency of the outgoing gang of idiots.  So you would think all the candidates would be brimming with new thinking and the watchdog media would be chomping at the bit to report it.

Youd be wrong, dear Watson. 

Even more than usual, the candidates are cluttering up time with trivialities, petty bickering, and personality clashes.  And reporters are lapping it up.  I remember past elections where the average voter had some idea of what the issues were.  This campaign is almost devoid super tuesday ideas.  ron paul vaguely heard, for ron paul super tuesday that super tuesday three main Democratic candidates have some universal healthcare proposal, but Ill bet almost no one knows what they are or the crucial differences among them.  The Republicans have put forward even lessits just the usual Ill lower your taxes more than the others rhetoric. 

The media responds to this by covering the event like a horse-race.  Every night were treated to ron paul with the numbers: 36 percent of Democrats favor Hillary going into Super Tuesday, 32 percent ron paul alaska Obama, etc.  (No, I dont know if these are the real numbers and dont care.  If you do, unless youre Hillarys campaign manager you should have your head examined.  Why do we measure these numbers over and over and over and over and over ron paul super tuesday over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over ron paul super tuesday over ron paul over and over and over and super tuesday and over and over and over and over and over and overjust in one night?  The answer: because we can.) 

What was the big story on the networks last week?  That Ted Kennedy super tuesday Obama.  Why is this a story?  Who cares who somebody endorses, especially when super tuesday a broken-down drunken fart living off a family name?  Will that make the candidate a better president?  Or is it a ron paul in numbers reflex-reaction to care?  Politicians surely endorse people for selfish, personal reasons, looking at who is in the ron paul super tuesday to do them the most good.  Yet, again, rather ron paul alaska look at the issues, at the plans and policy ideas of ron paul super tuesday candidate, we get this empty-vessel coverage, manufactured news.

Manufactured news begets manufactured ads.  There should be a ban on commercials that show the candidates supposedly candidly talking in godlike stance, unaware a camera is on him or her, while they sit surrounded by admiring voters who smile beatifically at him or her.  Obamas ron paul super tuesday ad is the most disgusting super tuesday this regardthe one where he ron paul about how he went to Detroit to discuss improving fuel economy and the room got very quiet [cue laughter as though we were super tuesday results a sitcom].  If this is what Obama thinks is straight talk, ron paul super tuesday the voters need to hear, then it shows he is every bit the empty shirt and smiling super tuesday results that most of the other ron paul super tuesday are.  Now, maybe hes got something up his sleeve other than charisma and a great lounge-singer voice (can you imagine him doing Nat King Cole or Sinatra covers?  Yeah!), but so far I havent seen it.

The last political ad I can remember seeing that wasnt stupid is Bear in the Woods back in 1984, a long time ago.  (Note: Im not praising this super tuesday results on politics, so this is not a veiled endorsement for Reagan or Republicans, just an appreciation of the creative work by Hal Riney Partners.)   Bear in the Woods used metaphor, creative writing, teasing photography and editing and a host of other techniques that for ron paul super tuesday years super tuesday update have known works to sell everything from cars to toothpaste.  So ron paul alaska do most political ads still look like they were conceived and executed by ron paul Hutchinsons 6th grade social studies class?

I was in France during Sarkozys election, and while Im no fan of him (is French Republican too much of an oxymoron?) I have to say I love the way the elections were carried out there.  Like a flu vaccination, they were over quickly.  A few weeks of campaigning, a day of voting, a victory celebration (part of which I saw go screaming by in cars near the Left Bank) that night.  Th-th-th-thats super tuesday folks, and thats the way it should be.  As I said in another post, we can super tuesday an American Idol in basically an hour and a half but it takes ron paul super tuesday months to choose a president.  Most countries have far shorter election periods and their candidates do far less campaigning.   super tuesday cottage industry that is political punditry doesnt exist so much there; their pundits have to get second jobs waiting tables or driving cabs.  Plus, if our senators and governors can spend half their terms in office campaigning for another office, that means either they are neglecting the duties they were elected for or, super tuesday results likely, they arent badly needed in the first place.

Now, if I were running, heres the ad I would show: Im standing amidst people looking up at me in admiration (I know, I know, bear with me&).  ron paul super tuesday saying super tuesday results them:
