Let’s cancel the Hillary Show!

That’s right, and I include E.J. Dionne in this declaration. It’s time to stop carrying the corporatocracy’s water. Folks want to hear what all the candidates running are going to do about turning back the 14-point fascist tide that is the Dumya Dark Ages. Folks want to hear the voices of the CANDIDATES IN EVERY PARTY, not just the few winning the media’s rigged popularity contest! American Voters are sick and tired of the calculating poll manipulation based on the politically corrected canned responses corporations voice through their top tier shills and dupes. We’re sick of the staged pretenses and solicited testimonials from well paid witnesses. Until these jerks are elected, none of them has a single iota of experience being the President of the United States of America. So, when you get right down to it, American Voters really could not possibly care less about how much experience these conniving jokers arrogantly boast in the coy art of hyper-ambitious butt-sucking in the clandestine corridors of the various K Street think tanks in which they’ve made a career of whoring themselves in the off-season while working to secure more wealth and power for the unregulated corporatocracy against the best interests of their voting constituents. For a change, I implore Dionne and colleagues to give America genuinely INFORMATIVE and ENLIGHTENING coverage of the candidates’ real discussions and substantiated plans to soon end the Dumya-induced, seemingly irreversible slide into regressive 3rd world morass, instead of digesting and crapping out bogus propagandist generated highlights of the best public performances delivered by the top tier corporate ringers running for President.

Hooray for the kids!! I know my teenaged granddaughter is getting active in a variety of causes.  This ol’ grandma is cheering her on and doing what I can to back her up.

A few weeks ago, EJ Dionne shared the table of MSM privilege on “The News Hour” with Jim Lehrer and David Brooks. Lehrer posited that the war wouldn’t be a major issue in the primaries and the general election this time around, like it had been in the 2006 congressional contests. Brooks and Dionne agreed, citing the “success of the surge” and recent progress toward a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians.

A) According to the architects, military and political, of the “surge” (escalation), it could only succeed if it resulted in progress toward a political solution to the blood-sodden morass that is post-invasion Iraq. There is no such progress. The “surge” has succeeded only in barricading competing factions into checkpoint-controlled ghettos where anti-occupation furies continue to seethe.

B) At the risk of bunching Condi’s undies, we must acknowlegde that there was absolutely no movement on the Israel-Palestine front. Israel continues to maintain that it will not negotiate until all resistance to its expansionist policies is terminated. We’ve been hearing this mantra for more than forty years.

These three “political analysts” knew they were spouting horseshit. We all know they knew this.

In spite of which Dionne dutifully nods his assent to the MSM propagandists who assert that our Zionist/corporate misadventures overseas are not a factor with the electorate. And Iowans dutifully prove him wrong. But Dionne does not mention this inconvenient truth, now does he. Dionne does not mention the issues at all.

He suggests instead that the whole point to these quadrennial exercises in electoral politics is winning. Who in hell is he addressing with his sophomoric, post-election analyses? Not the voters, surely. The voters insist that the whole point is governing, and who will govern in the best interests of the nation. In short, who’s right on the issues that affect their lives. War, wages, health care. You know? 

Ms Clinton’s persistent clamor that she will step right into the White House and pick up the reins on her very first day in office is, in effect, an avowal to continue the course set in motion by the current administration. Clearly, in Iowa, this is the wrong message.

So Mr Dionne can link arms with his press peers and slide and shuffle for his paymasters til doomsday rings the chimes. The voters just ain’t buying it.
