Cain, in Defeat

Herman Cain has had multiple failures that would have done in a more normal candidate, but he holds his 25-30% in spite of all the mainstreamers and the regular republicans can throw at him. Yet, that 1 of 3 republican votes mostly just establishes that the tea partiers are happy to have a black man that they can support now to show they are the racists everyone knows they actually are. The fact is that when the primaries start happening, and push comes to shove, a lot of those people are not going to vote for a black man, even one as clearly an oreo as this guy. Clarence Thomas himself could not get within ten percentage points of a majority of the Tea Party. There's a reason for that. A reason we are all actually quite clear on.

But having Herman around to confuse the regular people is quite fun. His sins in the 1990s are now coming to light, and it looks like he's broken a bunch of campaign finance laws. And he doesn't have any ground operations in Iowa and New Hampshire.

So, Romney won't win Iowa, but he will win New Hampshire, but it won't be a blowout win. Still he'll do okay in Nevada. But who wins Iowa now that our girl Michelle has come apart? Will it be Rickety Rick Perry, scoping the possibility of rising from the ashes of his weird candidacy? Who was it who talked him into running in the first place? He had his nice little kingdom that didn't stress his clearly limited intellectual resources. Why he would want to be pres must be all about the benjamins. Some rich guys are trying to get him to run a government that he actually hates. Perfect for the grover norquist types out there.

But what if Herman wins Iowa? Its a caucus state. I don't think that can actually happen, unless people there just hate the regular repubs so much that they want to fuck everything up as much as possible.

It really is too bad Sarah took herself out of this movie. It would've been pretty funny to see Mitt scramble when she rolls through the Iowa Caucuses and when she massacres him in South Carolina. Now, who knows what will stop the tepid train from rolling into the nomination station? Looks like the Plastic Mormon will be the opposition, come this time next year.

It really is a shame, but there is no actual conversation going on about what we are gonna do. Which means we probably are not gonna do anything. Welcome to the cardboard playhouse of the stupid rich.

They built this structure by competing with each other for who could hold the most marbles in their bowels. Pretty soon all that offal will carry them to the bottom of time's sea. There they will discover that it was all something of a hoax. Herman will be there, laughing his ass off and having a cigarette with his campaign manager.

Meanwhile, back on planet earth, Obama will be trying to negotiate a way out of the stupidity. Will we understand that in the nick of time?

Herman Cain and the Civil Rights Movement; Sarah P., the Grifter

Current questions:

Why did Herman Cain not participate in the Civil Rights Movement when he was a college student, 1963-1968? Was he terrified of getting hurt? Was he trying as hard as he could to be a good "n*"? As so many southern black folk in that time were. Was he following his Daddy's advice, to avoid making a stance. In his autobiography he tells us his dad told him to go sit in the back of the bus, and he did it.

In other words a perfect Republican Negro. Just what they need to make them feel all fuzzy about how not bigoted they are. Not like the rest of the black folk, who speak their own language and have a different culture than us proper middle class white folks, all yearning to be rich entrepreneurs and explode those dumb enough to have to work for minimum wage.

Herman tells us he is going to change taxes to 9% on sales, corporate, and personal income tax. You think we have a deficit problem now? And putting that sales tax on every thing means the poor and middle class will carry far more of the burden then they do now. That'll superfire the economy.

When are the Republicans and the business lobby going to understand that if they don't hire people and pay them there will be no consumers to drive the economy? I suppose they are counting on China allowing them to sell their stuff to the downtrodden chinese citizenry. I don't think they understand that those people who run China are going to insist on making most of the money and that when they can steal the tech and make it themselves they will kick out the western companies. Too bad.

But Republican stupidity is really just everywhere now. It is the map of reality that Eric Cantor believes in, despite all evidence. These people run things because america has betrayed itself and voted them into office.

What will happen when they win and things get progressively worse? Who will the voters blame? Will they ever look at themselves?

What else, today?

Sarah's not running. It turns out she's just another shyster, taking money from the marks. She may believe that god wants her to be president, but she's not got the courage to actually try and do it. She's betraying her own theology here. But most people look at her and see a bad, tasteless joke. She and her family, her poor stupid children, being used and manipulated. She's a joke. McCain owes us all for that one. And though she will fade, there will always be a level of doubt about any Republican, from now on.

Party First. That's what they really believe. Screw america, we only support those who are just like us, republican and white or oreos like Cain. And as far as the mexicans go, there are a couple of okay ones, but most of the beaners can go right back to Mexico and take their drug addled kiddies with them.

Party First. That's what McCain should've said, if he had been an honest broker. Rush Limbaugh is at least honest about this. He said they had to destroy Obama because he could not abide a "N*" in the White House. And Rusty hates Michelle, because let's face it, he would never be man enough for a woman like that. And really, the real question about Rusty (and I know someone who went to high school with him, so I know that that is a legitimate knickname for the man) is, is he really gay? Does he really have kiddie porn? Those are the rumors.

Surely no one will ever know the truth of these things. That is, until they die and discover that that is how the universe actually works. When we pass over to the other, greater side of being, beyond the simple physical universe of these five dimensions, the first thing that happens is you get confronted with the actual truth of being, whatever it is. Starting with the things you told yourself that were actually lies but that you required yourself to believe them for reasons of ego and fear. Rusty is in for one big honking dark time. And everyone of us who passes will also know his truth and our own.

That'd be why I try to be truthful with myself. I know I am going to be confronted with it after I have passed on. I am looking forward to knowing some "unknowable" truths. Like who really killed John Kennedy, if there was a conspiracy. And who manipulated the 2000 election. And what is really going on in side Clarence Thomas' mind. There's a man who has a lot to answer for in himself.

Anyway, I am grateful for the Lady Arianrhod's love and especially for Her mercy this October day. Life goes one for me, for the present time. I am grateful for every second of every day. We all should be, even when things are dark. She provides us with hope. She is hope itself.
