It is gratifying to see a DUmmy appreciate the inevitability of his defeat, but it's disappointing that he has to bloviate about it in such an incredibly gaseous, Bidenesque manner. Even after some violent editing, his whining seems endless. Nevertheless, it was enjoyable to absorb the high points of his despair. Hopefully, his realization of hopelessness will spread.

I knew it was going to happen, but it still hurts like hell to watch it in slow motion.
NOTE: To anyone who feels that their morale may be damaged by an unvarnished assessment of reality these last eight to twenty-five years may not wish to read any further. Everyone from Polyannas to Coincidence Theorists, please find another thread to soil.
Blah,blah, blah....
It's like a slow motion car accident unraveling before one's eyes, bodies crumpled and mangled flying out windows at breakneck speed in agonizing detail. Or maybe it's like watching a bad reality show or maybe WWE wrestling again and again and again, one with the same outcome no matter what nonsensical plot twists get us to the preordained ending.
But the outcome is never in doubt, and if we look at what passes for "elections" in Bushie Amerika or Putinist Russia, which are almost identically governed by Inverted Totalitarianism as well as having identically trustworthy "elections", we can see that computerized wholesale Bushie election fraud, which may or may not exist, may not even be necessary whether it exists or not.
Blah, blah, blah....
Does wholesale electronic Bushie electoral fraud exist? Probably. But for the purposes of this discussion, let us assume that which is not 100% proven does not exist and so for the purposes of this discussion, wholesale electronic Bushie electoral fraud does not exist.
Does it even need to? In this nation of drugged-out, TV-zombied-up sheep, of which we are all a part what is essentially a vast artificial marketing scheme which has replaced objective reality, a National Hologram, to borrow Joe Bageant's term for it, do the Bushies even need wholesale election fraud to get their way?
At least a year ago, I knew that McCain would be our next Emperor, probably holding the throne for Jeb, but who knows. American Tyranny is a bit more inclusive than familial monarchies and dictatorships of the past, like the Roman Emperors didn't have to be members of the Caesar family, eventually.
Blah, blah, blah....
When the Bushies, probably through Randy Scheunemann, greenlighted Georgia for or perhaps ordered it to begin it's August 2008 "Bushie Bounce" invasion of Georgia, the same way the Israelis coincidentally did the same things for their Bushie Masters in August 2006 in pursuit of the same Bushie electoral goals, they knew their mass psychology.
Instant McCain bounce. Add to it the framing of the National Dialogue through the Bushie M$M as restarting the Cold War, and the certainty of the knee-jerk statistical reaction is frighteningly predictable and accurate.
Blah, blah, blah....
So, it's knotted now. And I believe that, in the current restructuring and Gleichschaltung the Bushies have carried out on our "National Nervous System", every facet of it, it simply is not possible for Obama to GAIN in the polls.
Blah, blah, blah....
It makes me laugh. Nothing left to do but laugh about it now. The Bushies, in their kinder and gentler way, have us in a grip as absolute as the Nazis has over Germany.
Blah, blah, blah....
First, the October Surprise is still yet to come, though it may not even be necessary...whatever it is, it will be at least as shocking to the National Nervous System as the Georgian Invasion of Ossetia that was likely instigated by the Bushies for McCain.
Then, the usual boring "Surprise McCain Upset Victory Show" coming a few days later. Boring. I've seen it before and they could at least come up with a new plot.
Can't you see it? Can't you smell it? Doesn't that tingle of deja vu tells you it's coming?
And the sad truth is, it simply doesn't matter what is right and wrong, what is true and what are lies, or how obvious and shameless upfront Bushie villainy is.
At the end of the day, it's going to be a "surprise upset win". Sorry, I don't want that any more than you do. But reality is reality. Don't hate the messenger because reality is what it is.
Blah, blah, blah....
For a few of us realists, this will be no surprise. We knew where this ride was ending (50-1 chance) before it started. That is the way of Totalitarian Nations, and even though ours is the kindest, gentlest, newest, most modern form of it, our Inverted Totalitarianism is still totalitarianism.
All hail Emperor McBush
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3956571I did not know that "Bushies for McCain" were behind the Georgian invasion of Ossetia! I had never even heard of Ossetia! When they came to me for money, they said it was to overthrow Yugo Chavez! (Is that operation still on for October?)
