Are we being ?duped? by the hate from the press and our candidates that run for office?
We just went through a messy election, a nasty election. So now, comes the opening of the Clinton Library. And there?s President Bush, both father and son, praising Clinton, Hillary and even the daughter. And there?s Clinton, saying that he likes BOTH Kerry and Bush, a lot. So I?m watching this love-fest on C-span, thinking its really great all these different minded people can come together in a ?brotherhood? like setting. And just maybe, that we are really all together, Americans, all in the same boat and just wanting the best for our country and its people. Kinda like what I think we ALL thought that our way of government should be or once was. And seeing how all these past/present presidents seemed to have looked out for each other, in some way, and highly respected each other and of the office. So, I?m feeling things are really good in our country, and were not so ?Blue/Red? after all.
So now, I just don?t get it. Why the press makes like we all hate each others guts (reds/blues, Dem?s/Repub?s)??? Why they get us so stirred up. Like in making Teresa Kerry out to be a demon bitch when she talked back to that reporter. Or making Howard Dean look like a deranged mad man just because he was speaking to a bunch of hyped up college kids after a rally. Or the press hitting on Cheney, when he told someone to go ?F-off. And why these nasty nasty elections, with ?swiftboat? ad?s, or ?did Bush show up? ad?s, and ?wolf ad?s?, and all the other crap-ola.
I think we?re being ?played? big time by the Rush Limbaugh, Jerry Falwell, Pat Roberson, Al Franken, Michael Moore, and the James Carville crowd, as well as the politicians too. And the press, with their ?talking heads? on shows like Fox, crossfire, etc etc.
People are so stirred up and depressed from this last election, that many feel like either ending it all, or moving to Canada. But wait? then there?s the love-fest at the Clinton Library.
Maybe, just maybe, we should not be so upset after all. Hell, they aren?t!
Maybe those Republican?s aren?t so bad after all. And maybe Democrats aren?t really devil worshipping child molesting, pot smoking hores, either. Maybe, with Bush in for four more years, things wont be that bad after all. Or if Kerry would have won, maybe we would have been just fine in that too. Jimmy Carter said just lately, that when he ran against Reagan and Ford, that they respected each other and became close friends. Looks like the same with Clinton, the two Bush?s, and even Kerry.
Maybe, for Democrats, things are going to be just fine. And maybe Republican?s didn?t really destroy the evil empire after all, they just won an election cycle. Maybe, just maybe, our election process worked just as it should have, in electing a president to fill the next four years. And all that dirt, filth and hate that we got so over whelmed by, wasn?t really there to begin with. Could Michael Moore already know this? Could Rush Limbaugh be laughing all the way to the bank? All, while one half of us poor saps either thinking we just won the holy super bowl, and the other half thinking our country is doomed and will cease to be no more, sometime within the next four years.
Maybe its just ?selling newspapers?. Selling TV shows. Making celebrities out or the talking heads. And ?SELLING all those BOOKS?!!! So lets not ring our hands, or lets not believe something bigger happened than what really did. That things wont really get that much better for one group while killing off another. Maybe, just maybe, its all just politics, sales, and making a buck. And how gitty they must be, in that we can get so stirred up over what?s really, in the end, nothing at all. Just another election in the good ole USA. So talk a breath, don?t take yourself so serious, maybe take up a hobby or read a book or spend time with your kids and family. And next time Rush, or Carville get so steamed over something, just ask ?what are they in it for??, and have they written a new book lately that they want to maybe hype?
