It has long been a mystery to me why people so easily become attached to politicians who are real slimy charactors. The list is so long that it must be curtailed to the most recent and local. The recent primaries offer some prime examples. Take John Edwards

Now what man loves himself to this extent. He decided at the height of the campaign to do A Poverty Tour where he visited all the slums etc. This man is so detached from reality that he thinks to plebs do not know he is worth 500 million and pays more for a haircut than what they must live on for a week. He made his money as a trial lawyer sueing hospitals for birth defects that he said was the fault of the hospital. When his wife got cancer he did not pull out of the race but instead put her argueing with Ann Coullter on msnbc. To make himself look good he says his father was a mill worker. Well he was a mill manager but that would not sound as good. He is a vain man who cares for nothing but himself. However compared to Rudy he is a Saint. Rudy is a person who no decent person would stand beside. His father was not a mill manager but a legbreaker www.realchange.org/giuliani.htm - 19k all the fun there so I won't continue except to say that I have never met anybody that liked him. What allows these people to be considered as leaders even briefly is the twaddle coming out of the tv. If Bill O Reilly says Denis Kucinich is a loon then fools will believe it. Why they use the word loon is beyond me because a loon is a well thought of bird in Canada that appears on it's coinage. The twisting of the truth entails using words to mean the opposite to their real meaning. Hillary knows that if she called herself a socialist she would get nowhere so she calls herself a liberal. The meaning of the word liberal is the exact opposite to it's origonal meaning. The term conservative now means something that Barry Goldwater would not recognise. A Libertarian is described as right wing which is the exact opposite to what a libertarian is.
The Patriot Act sounds like something that a Patriot would support until you see what the letters stand for, strenghtening america by Providing Appropiate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. This act should be called The Electronic Spying Act. No Patriot would vote for this. 1 senator out of 100 read this act and he, Russ Feingold dem from Wisconsin voted alone against it. A far right wing police state law. It amazes me that so many fall for this leftwing/rightwing divide. The text book example of right and left is Hitler/Stalin. The assumption is that they were polar opposites. You will never hear the Germans described as National Socialists because people would cop on. So one country of donkeys had to die for The Fatherland and another country of donkeys had to die for The Motherland. These fools actually believed that Hitler was concerned about them. By the time the gobadains copped on in Stalingrad the temperture was low enough to give Al Gore nightmares.

This brings me to the con job in Ireland where you have 2 identical parties with followers so doopy that they can not see the obvious. Their blind faith allows humble public servants to own estates,horses, helecopters and offshore bank accounts. We recently had a great festive holiday with parasites dispatched to China Vietnam Australia Washington and who knows where else. In a country of 4 million is there nobody to suggest that it might be wiser to bring a few investors to Ireland instead. There you have it where Bertie gets paid more than the President of the US.
