Cheese Whiz, I’m friggin tired of all this political slime-throwin and name-callin and chest-thumpin and mantra chantin. I’m tired of a Democrat-controlled Senate which either can’t handle the concept of doing its job and at least submitting a goddam budget or is so scaredy-cat and paranoid that it won’t even consider one developed by someone willing to cut spending and put a hobble on runaway entitlements.

My disgust and scorn for anyone who would seek PotUSy cause me to have zero trust or credence in either the Rookie or the Romney. And frustrating as it is, we can no longer say that El Obamaturo’s lack of real-world experience disqualifies him for the job now that he has endured the crucible for nearly 4 years. In fact, along with Bush I & II and Slick, he's experientially the most qualified candidate available.

All we can fall back on now is the fact that he, like Jimmah, has learned naught from the experience and is simply inept. It is his profound unawareness and complete lack of comprehension that makes of him El Precedente Defectio.

The true bottom line is, however, that the primary difference remaining between Mittius Richicus (whom I see as merely an Obama Lite in both policy and pigmentation) and Hopius Changicus Africanus is that the former is legally eligible for the office per the Constitution, which the latter has never read or understood.

Every time I see one of those guys with his sleeves rolled up, mouthing generalities platitudes, addressing some crowd someplace, all I can think of is a flim-flam man shoveling smoke while his assistant sets up the little bottles of snake oil for sale after the show.

I’m not sure that, without their staffs and their advisors, either one of them could find his way out of a gazebo. Obamateur stubbornly refuses to understand that stability doesn’t have to automatically mean immobility and that change doesn’t necessarily mean improvement. And Romney the RINO has nothing whatever to prove to anyone and is being very successful at doing precisely that.

UhBama’s concept of government is of a massive, looming, hovering, brooding, self-regulating, autonomous life form which was initially created by men but no longer is dependent upon them for its impetus or its sustenance. He worships it as a thing self-sufficient in and of itself, self-perpetuating and ravenously devouring man’s contributions and submissions like some sort of primitive god and then redistributing them in keeping with the time-honored rules of croneyism and power-brokering.

Mitt (It-Is-To-Yawn) Romney has developed that essential skill of remaining awake during inexorable meetings on fatally boring issues that drive away more pragmatic minds who realize nothing can be done to change the eternal status quo. And BOTH of them will patiently listen to all sides of a question before doing what they originally intended to do anyway. The difference is that Romney doesn’t really know what he intends to do while Obama simply recites from the edicts of the masters whom he worships and from whom all funding flows.

The logic of Obama’s plan for America is to make us 3rd rate so that other nations will stop envying our success and quit picking on us. His tactics are like those of the guy who believes that by not washing his car he will prevent rain or that trickle-up poverty is good for business. The bones of his leadership have yet to finish ossifying. The pieces of the puzzle in his political mind are beginning to settle, and they seem to be forming a surrealistic Salvador Dali face over a Jackson Pollock background.

Romney’s strategy is marvelously simple: first he believes that he would be a good president because he LOOKS presidential, and secondly it’s HIS TURN! He’s like that kid down the street who doesn’t look particularly weird, but always gets chosen last for the team in a pickup game. His page is full of notes and words and graphics, but it has no personality and forms an impression in the reader’s mind that lasts only until the ice-cream truck comes through the neighborhood.

It is a disease, a syndrome, a deteriorating condition which leads to paranoia, megalomania, pomposity, balderdash, and eventual solidification of the entire skull, displacing those areas of the higher-order functions including rational thought and long-term memory. Chavez, Castro, Mussolini, Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot . . . . . all have suffered it, as have many whose careers as governors or senators or congresskritters have been allowed to persist beyond sensible limits.

Politics is a malignancy which, if untreated, causes irreversible loss of function in the logic centers of the human brain. The best treatment is complete abstinence before the long-term symptoms appear. Once the effects have manifested themselves in the classic patterns of equivocation, circumlocution, back-room deal making, and dependence on political action committees, the only cure for an election which lasts up to 4 years is radical speechectomy, a surgical procedure most reliably performed by large crowds of average citizens at night with hand-held torches and various blunt instruments.
