2012 (S)ELECTION
RETROSPECTIVE: THE NUMBERS THEY DON’T TALK ABOUT, AND THE QUESTIONS THEY NEVER
ASK
Rarely
do I blog about my personal feelings, or reactions, on this site, but a number
of circumstances prompt me to share them. Within days of the last (s)election,
two friends, each from one of the two political parties, asked me how I voted.
Now, for one thing, I’ve made my sentiments and opinions of these “two” corrupt
party machines well known: NO CONFIDENCE. But rather than trying to explain
that to my friends, and that it is really a POSITIVE exercise of the vote, I
was treated to the same old saw: “If you don’t vote, you have no right to
complain.”
I
had to remind my friends that the Bill of Rights recognizes that the rights of
man are from God, they are not given by governments, nor can they be retracted
by governments, nor can they be abrogated when individuals, such as myself,
view the system as so corrupted that to participate in it is to contribute to
the corruption.We had a “choice” between a candidate so weak anyone could have
beat him, and a candidate too weak to beat anyone. This is what 150 years of
Republithuggery and Dummycrookery have come to: an agreed upon detente of rot
and corruption.
But
in a way, I cannot blame my friends, for consider the extension of the American
“standardized computerized tests,” with their pre-selected answers, to the
current ballot: we have pre-selected “answers,” (candidates), from a narrow
range of elite-approved answers (parties), and no option to explain our views
in an essay in response to a question. We have been conditioned to such
responses even by the polls. I remember, years ago, responding to a telephone
political survey of the same nature: I was presented a preselected set of
choices, none of which I could agree to.
This
year, there are some interesting numbers, and these are the numbers they don’t
want to talk about:
Now,
I am far from assuming that the non-voting population – those eligible to vote,
but who did not, for whatever reason – did not vote en masse out of the desire
to send a no confidence vote to the likes of Lanny Davis, Chris Matthews, Karl
Rove, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and Dick Morrison. But I’ll wager that some
of them did, and that it was a significant number.Moreover, I’ll bet that of
those disenfranchised Ron Paul supporters who did not hold their nose and vote
for Barmitt Obromneyack (of either brand name), or for the Libertarian Party
candidate Gary Johnson, that a significant number stayed home. Others, like a
friend of mine, decided upon his own version of the no confidence vote, by
voting for candidates or issues that he could in good conscience, and leaving
the presidential “choice” (Barmitt Obromneyack, just to remind you), blank(a
fitting irony in that perhaps, since that is what they were and are: blanks).
Which
raises the question: why don’t the talking babbling buffoons on the left and
the right in this country, who defend their respective brand names with a
religious fervor (and corresponding blindness), or why don’t the Frank Luntz
focus groups, ever talk about, much less to, that group of people? Do
they even know they exist?(probably not) And if they do know they exist, why do
they never ask the disenfranchised Democrat (I know a few, my late parents
among them), or Republican(I am one), why we will never darken your party
doorsteps again? The answers you learn just may save your party bacon the next
time around. Continue to do as you have been doing, however, and the vote
of no confidence will only continue to grow, for right now, as one talking head
has already begun his hyperbolic “countdown” of mutually recognized Great
Americans to the next election (which will be, incidentally, just like
the last one, the most important election in our lifetimes), others continue to
point out the abysmal track records of these “two” political parties, and their
long list of broken promises, and will continue to say “No Confidence!”
One day, hopefully, you’ll hold another “two party election,” and the turnout
will be so small you’ll both be exposed for the unprincipled frauds you really
are. And take heart, you’re already trending in that direction.
