I watched every minute of the debate last night. Millions of people watched the debate. Millions more watched Honey Boo Boo. It will be interesting to see which show was watched by more people – a true reflection on our society. It was clear to me after 30 minutes that Romney was winning the debate. I consider myself a neutral observer that despises both men. As the debate progressed the beatdown became more apparent. Romney essentially obliterated Obama. But, why wouldn’t he? Obama’s record is nothing but failure, debt, unemployment and war. I watched it on PBS, but immediately switched to MSNBC after the conclusion to hear the ultra-liberal spin. I expected them to declare Obama the winner, but Madow and Shultz were practically speechless. They looked like someone in West Philly who was just told their EBT card would no longer work at KFC. Al Sharpton went into a full out rant, practically foaming at the mouth. I switched to CNN and this pathetic excuse for a news organization had the Obama communist supporter Van Jones trying to explain why Obama came across like a dimwitted moron. It was revolting listening to that jackass.
But, at the end of the day it was nothing but a beauty contest between two vacuous stooges put up by our owners. They both blathered on about cutting the defict. They DID NOT talk about reducing our National Debt. They are confident in the fact that the ignorant masses don’t understand the difference between deficit and debt. Under either of these morons, the national Debt will surpass $20 trillion by the end of their term. That is not cutting!!!! The lies about balanced budgets are beyond the pale. The only way to balance our budgets is to dramatically cut the military, SS, Medicare, Medicaid, DHS, and scrap the existing tax system and all its free shit handouts. Neither candidate has any intention of reducing the size of our government. They have the balls to declare that they will create jobs. Bullshit. The Federal Government creates nothing. They take our money and redistribute it to their cronies.
The bullshit that infuriated me the most was the utter crap about energy independence. We consume 18 million barrels of oil per day and we import 10 million of those barrels. We convert some of that oil to gasoline and export 2 million barrels of that per day. The shale oil and shale natural gas storyline has been exaggerated by the hypesters and shysters. It is impossible for us to become energy independent. Should we use everything at our disposal (oil, gas, coal, nuclear, hydro, geothermal, solar and wind)? YES. But nothing will replace oil. And the energy required to produce the energy we need will become increasingly expensive no matter what. To mislead the American public with bullshit slogans about energy independence is criminal.
The American people need the truth. They need someone to hit them over the head with a 2 by 4. Slogans and kabuki theater aren’t going to cut it. At the end of the day, the American people got more truth from the episode of Honey Boo Boo than they did from this farce.
