They Just Don't Care

The Clinton's and the Republican's have another thing in common: they're completely out of touch with the real people outside of the nation's Capitol. The Clinton's aren't thinking about how counting the votes in FL and MI will disenfranchise those who understood the rules as they were agreed upon, and decided to stay home instead of casting a useless vote. They don't care about the 9-11-like tension and fear that comes with evoking the public murder of one of our most charismatic leaders, especially of those middle-aged or older, not mention what it does to Michelle and their two young daughters. They don't care about making those who don't live in a swing state, or one that "matters", feel like there's no point in fighting the weakening Republicans right now to, at the very least, take back seats in the house and senate currently held by disliked republicans. They simply don't care.
The Republicans don't give a shit about who or what they turn into a political issue. One week McBush is trying to tie Obama's foreign policy ideals with the act that handed Czechoslovakia to Hitler, the next week denouncing McSame's endorsement from Hagee for his attack on Judaism and victims of the Holocaust, but only after there was public pressure. Now they're attacking Obama and essentially his uncle, Charlie Payne, for his heroics helping to liberate Jews from Buchenwald instead of what he accidentally said, Auschwitz. This actually was a slip of the tongue, obviously, and this is a really dumb and insensitive bone for them to pick. They don't value human life (unless it's a 3 week old organism living inside an unknowing woman - that's "human life" worth protecting), so they can't see how people don't like the horror that their family members endured being used as a divisive political tool.

Zero, absolutely none of this type of crap has come from Senator Obama. He was insightful, principled, and patient enough to know that these assholes would continue to play the same old tail chasing games with their trained media, and those that were waiting and watching for it (such as the progressive bloggers, Goodman, Moyers, Maddow, and Olbermann), who are goddamn sick of it all, would pounce on the opportunities to expose the rigged process for what it is: Dangerous, calculating, apathy-inducing bullshit. That's why he and Axelrod are geniuses. Let the game implode upon itself, while subtly controlling the narrative. It's worked to near perfection, and would have been a well-oiled anti-McCain machine by now had the ridiculous Wright situation been treated with proper weight (as Clinton would also have surely been rendered irrelevant by now). I can't wait until we're laughing and pointing at both parties as they're peering through the figurative window on a cold rainy day, whining and sniveling, like starving diseased rats.
