The Charade in Florida

Tom Wheeler

Beyond the Mainstream

October 1, 2004

I didn't watch that televised charade the media lapdogs were calling a debate, but I did read the transcript. What Orwellian fantasyland do Bush and Kerry inhabit? I thought I was going to choke on my breakfast. That debate must have been one long and pointless infomercial. Just reading the transcript, it is clear this encounter featured lots of cheap, empty rhetoric, a litany of lies, falsehoods, and obvious bullshit, and the obligatory macho dick-waving. In other words, you got the standard America uber alles fist-pumping threats and some thinly-disguised imperialist claptrap from these two Yale graduate war criminals.

I know the brain-disengaged talking heads on TV will focus almost entirely on style over substance and the multitudes of clueless and superficial SUV-driving middle-class suburban Americans with their arrogant, narcissistic sense of self-entitlement and self-absorption will gush at the in-depth analysis offered up by spinning-in-circles spinmeisters and propaganda flacks.

I was too repulsed to watch and listen as well. I find I literally cannot stomach listening to Bush anymore...it is as if they just lie and then lie some more, then lie again, and then the newscasters discuss their lies without mentioning they are all lies...amazing stuff. Very surreal, yes.

yes it wasn\'t really a debate it was more of a theatrical performance that had a little to do with politics. i\'m glad you didn\'t because it was the most terrible thing anyway, it was redundant. You would think by now people would see that neither one of them is a savior...and that no goverment leader and reverse the damage caused by greed and ignorance.
