WHERE'S THE BEEF

"Suppose you were playing a game of Monopoly and two people were bidding on property you owned. Now suppose there were other players supporting those two, and each of them offered their donors something for their support. Now let’s assume those people supporting the bidders were asking the two bidders, no matter who won, to get the bank to loan them money to help pay for the property that someone else owned and someone else paid for to begin with.

Welcome to the American Presidential Race.

The job pays four hundred thousand a year. This election season a billion dollars will be spent. You do the math and then tell me those hot button issues Fox News is getting you ramped up on
means a damn thing to anyone in any of the elections.

The truth is the debate is a Liar’s Contest. They are telling you they can give you more bang forb your vote but it isn’t your money they are spending…yet. This is a lot like a bunch of frat boys talking a cheerleader into drinking on a date and convincing her once she passes out she will only get screwed by one of them.

There isn’t a lesser evil here. There isn’t a difference in the long run as to who will do what. Who will do what is determined by who owes who. You voted. It’s over. You did what you can do but those people with money, well, they still have most of it and they will want a return on their investment, won’t they?

You can talk all you want to about “the issues” but what is the real issue here? It’s money. It’s who can tell the most lies the loudest. Television ads are expensive and you may have approved of a message but you didn’t build that. Someone paid for that mike in your hand. Someone bought you those words. Someone made those keys to the White House and once you move in the owners are still waiting for that first rent check to arrive.

When Obama offered change we could believe in he was talking about the change under your sofa cushions because that was really all the change he wasn’t going to owe someone somewhere. You think Biden was the best Veep pick? The man is like a drunk five year old with rabies when he’s speaking in public. Yet he is well loved by people with money. You think Romney would be where he is right now if it wasn’t about money? The man has more money than most, forty-seven percent of us if nothing else, will ever see.

So is there a difference between the two?

Why not just go with whatever third party is running and really rock the vote?"

Requests are flooding the Ohio Supervisor of Elections office in Columbus, Ohio from early voters who want their ballots stricken from the record and allowing them to cast a re-vote, this time for Barack Obama. At least 300 such requests have been received since Wednesday.

Election officials say this has never happened in the history of Ohio elections.

The person behind the drive to set the political record straight is a Republican business owner who claims he was hoodwinked into believing Mitt Romney was a leader he could count on when the chips were down.

Mark Humphries, owner of Bottoms Up, a local pub, told reporters he had a feeling when he cast his ballot early that something might happen to change his mind.

“I wasn’t even on the fence or nothing,” said Humphries, who voted the Saturday before Sandy hit the eastern seaboard.

“I mean, I really bought Romney’s spiel hook, line and sinker. I hated paying taxes…Romney said I wouldn’t have to. I was against big government…so was Romney,” said a convincing Humphries.

“I mean, I went so far as to consider contributing to his campaign,” said the disgruntled voter. “Thank goodness my wife talked me out of it and we spent it on groceries instead.”

Humphries said when that storm hit New Jersey, and reached all the way back to Columbus, he waited to see how Romney would respond.

“Oh he said all the right things…God…awful…donate…you know, he looked sincere enough. But when I saw Obama, man, I gotta tell you, he was kicking some serious disaster relief butt,” said Humphries.

Humphries said he learned that there were many more central Ohioans suffering from what one political analyst called “voter’s remorse,” and he set out to do something about it.

“I started the “Take Back the Romney Vote” movement, but from what they are telling me, no matter what I do to try and rectify the situation, I pretty much have to live with my decision.”

Humphries says there is one saving grace in all this.

“I’ve got a wife who was smart enough to realize that Obama was the guy to get the job done and she says she voted for him,” said Humphries.

“So, bottom line,” he said. “At least she cancelled out my vote. All I can do now is ask everyone I see to please, please vote for Obama.”

 Republicans hated this crack..  Guess they thought they were the only ones who could come up with smart things like "Obamacare" ...  

The fat lady has sung, or in this case, the fat drunken has-been rock star known as Meatloaf has sung, finally crippling one of the crookedest-run Presidential campaigns in Republican history.

The crazy train has left the station

It seemed that Ted Nugent’s remarks earlier this year at an NRA convention where he ranted about not being around if Obama gets a second term would have sunk the candidate, but it didn’t.

Then came Clint Eastwood, who seemed to be the only person who thought it would be amusing to talk to an empty chair at the Republican National Convention. Crazy? Maybe, but not near crazy enough to change people’s minds about voting for Romney, except for Eastwood’s daughter, who has publicly voiced her support for Obama.

But now, this week, Meatloaf has finally brought the celebrity crazy house down by maniacally screaming out his hallelujah version of America the Beautiful at a Romney rally in Definance, Ohio.

“It was a gin-soaked performance by a washed up musician who obviously didn’t realize he would be forever known not as the guy who made an unpopular Monday night dinner a popular diner staple, but the guy who brought down the Romney campaign,” said Anderson Cooper as he began his 360 show on CNN.

After watching the performance on YouTube, a fed up Paul Ryan is said to have called Sarah Palin to tell her she wins, the Vice Presidency is hers…again.

Meanwhile, Mitt Romney left the stage with what little dignity he had left and immediately called Donald Trump.

“Listen Don,” he said into the phone, “I don’t care how many more washed up celebrities you bring to the table to shore up the dimwit vote, it ain’t worth the measly million you contributed to my campaign,” then continued, “Well, ok, Don, if you really think Gary Busey can put us back on track. Ann is a huge fan.”
