Endangered Republicans and red state Blow the Dog Democrats have formed a hospitable alliance to combat a growing super minority of Americans who strongly support a public option in health care reform, in direct defiance of their elected zombie rulers. I'll provide a tools list to help you recall your elected zombies in a future post.
With recent polls showing significant and growing support among the silent minority of 57% of those polled for a public option to combat corrupt and uncaring insurance companies and for-profit health care providers, opponents of meaningful reform are now telling constituents that voting in a representative democracy does not guarantee that a voter's voice, even when joined with millions of other voices, will result in an acceptable or even appropriate response from the rulers they put in power and legitimized to serve their interests through the obsequious act of voting, whoever they are.
This represents an impressive expansion of the James Baker philosophy of the futility of voting that put former First Idiot George W. Bush in power in 2000, when he argued, successfully, that although the Constitution guarantees the right of every eligible voter to cast a ballot, nowhere does case law support the notion that votes must be counted.
At the time, unnamed supporters of Baker and the Fourth Reich he helped put in power could only say: "Well, snap!" I wrote: Who the fuck is surprised by this?
Now, elected officials are taking this precedent one step further and arguing that having been elected to office based on promises made during a well-funded campaign does not necessarily obligate the office holder to vote against his or her own conscience or the consciences of campaign contributors who have expressly made their intentions known, whereas polls are unreliable and ballots are anonymous so, according to the late popular poopadoodle pundit Rick Nelson: you can't please everyone so you got to please yourself.
In recent years, as those fat white fucks who own the country have grown increasingly worried that being less than .03% of the population might make them targets of well-armed roving bands of mixed-race youths who could breach their gated compounds, they have put increasing pressure on the elected officials they pay stipends to in the form of campaign contributions to keep their progeny alive and free from zombie brunching.
As ordinary citizens of the nation of miserable fucks (NOMF™) have been slow to realize that their proctological exams are no longer covered by their insurance policies and that they may be culpable for allowing renegade professionals from penetrating their anuses for reasons other than diagnostics, things are getting ugly, particularly with satirists increasingly willing to suggest hanging the richest assholes in the nation from the lamp posts along the Interstate highway system they were taxed to build to make the country safe for rich, arrogant, dumb white fucks.
If you really believe in things, I'm sorry for you in an irrational way. I couldn't give a shit about you, your family, your friends, your dreams, or your aspirations. As a contractor, I could drive over you with no problem.
I gave up believing in anything before I stopped watching Duck and Cover 8 mm "public service announcements" during the Eisenhower administration.
If you allow the assholes you elected to continue to kill or maim you and your relatives and friends through their entirely uncynical capitalistic Christian business model, you deserve the prolonged death you will endure. I love laughing at funerals.
I am a cynic, and I resent when ordinary assholes suggest that Republicunts and libertarians and various other scum bag alliances are cynical. Diogenes, the motherfucking father of cynicsim had the nads to tell Alexander the not so Great (as it turned out, despite what old Ez wrote) that he could best help him by getting the fuck out of his light.
I think the time for voting these fuckers out of office is long past. These fuckers are zombies. It's time to nut up and take them down. You can get good weapons at your local Goodwill store.
