If The US Elections Were Cancelled?
posted September 26, 2008 - 12:26pmA scary thought, isn't it? As an outsider or a third party watching America and the Americans from the outside, I would say it is; a scary thought, that is. I can safely guess that about half the people in America wouldn't know what to talk about. I mean Sarah Palin goes back to Alaska, there goes more than half the gossip of America, unless you still consider Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears of any "Gossip" value at all.
George Bush must be a relieved man. After almost eight years in the hot seat of being the butt of the joke, or as he would say, "after eight years in the butt of being the hot seat of a joke" people have finally given up on him as far as the entertainment value goes. That people gave up on him more than seven years ago is probably a well kept secret that he has not come upon till now. Maybe Bush senior will let him know once he dons those cowboy boots again and asks for an appraisal.
"How did I do Mama?" he would obviously ask the mom, Barbara, the lack of political judgment and the innocence obviously coming from her side of the family.
"You did good son," She would reply, "Until that b**** Palin came along, Imagine getting more coverage as a candidate than i ever got as the first lady."
"What is with you women, even Laura keeps talking about the same thing."
"That does say a lot about the men in the family"
I really do not know whether it is good or bad for the citizens to be so involved in the political process. Isn't it sickening? I mean talking politics is one thing but selling Sarah Palin bikini photos on the internet is quite another.
So much of money is being spent on the campaigning part and then maybe much more on the electioneering process. Is it really worth it if ultimately the 'Process' comes up with nothing better than George Bush?
I was just wondering if the US elections were canceled now, what would people talk about. It would be like suddenly someone has cut off a lifeline or something. Is America a mature democracy? I don't know. If the people have not realized that the candidate on the top is just going to follow the diktats of the party or his own survival instincts (grossly disproved by Bill Clinton in the Oral Office)it does not really matter if the person in the hot seat is an ass or a bimbo.
Long Live Demo-crazy!
