You wanna know why the Republicans are lying their asses off? Because they’ve spent the last 30 years building up their rock-hard unbreakable utterly-correct ideology (deregulate, and the free market will grow! stay strong with a massive military, and the world will cater to our whims! cut taxes, because taxes pay for a bloated liberal socialized government!) only to find out their ideology doesn’t fit into the Real World (Welcome to the GOPatrix! The hero’s name is… NeoCon). Rather than deal with reality, they’d rather lie to keep their useless ideology afloat, even as the whole charade collapses around them.

Of course. The problem is that they’re all even bigger reasons to have reservations about McCain.

Old.

I didn’t read it like that. What makes these voters so stupid is the reasons they have for voting the way they do.

McCain is tells them “Obama wanted to teach sex education to kindergarteners”, and they actually believe it. That’s stupidity.

McCain picks a woman as his running mate, and a surprising number of women decide to vote for him based purely on that, without considering first what kind of person Palin is and what she believes. That’s stupidity. (I mean Jesus, look at this.)

McCain says something like “my opponent wants to raise your taxes” and a ridiculous number of voters say “OH NOES! Obama wants to raise my taxes!” They just take him at his word without bothering to actually look and see what Obama has said he would do. That’s stupidity.

I’m sorry, but these are stupid reasons to vote for McCain and they’re stupid reasons to have reservations about Obama. People are supposed to be too smart to fall for this kind of stuff.

Old.

I often wonder if people get turned off by the election because all they seem to hear is lies and accusations about lying. In turn, it assists in reducing voter turnout. (I know this is not the only reason why voter turnout is low.) The modern day purpose of an election seems to be allowing politicians to act like bratty children, who pull pig tails and call their opponents “dumb, dumb heads”. The media and many aspects of the blogosphere aren’t helping the situation.

I was sick of the US election when the Canadian election was called. For those paying attention to both election processes we are getting beaten over the head with muck and accusations. If only Aaron Sorkin could write this electoral process. The cast of characters would be better looking, the story line better developed, and the banter would be entertaining.

Nice script MGK.
