Here's the second part of our political continuum series. This time we're gonna talk about vilification. Some would call it negative campaigning. Politicians will condemn negative campaigning then quickly engage in it. But vilification happens in between election cycles. Both sides do it. The right likes to vilify Mad Mooooozies, Coons, Queers, Kykes, and ect ect. The left likes to vilify the rich and greed, rednecks, Business, The Koch Brothers(but not George Soros) and ect ect. The reason both sides do this is to deflect from how badly THEY suck.
Look at Republicans. Mittens is running around saying the same things Duhbya said back in 2000. We all know how that ended up, 4 years(and counting) of biscuit eating. Republicans know this and that's why we see the ABO initiative. Republicans will tell you privately they don't like Romney. Then why nominate him? Leads me to believe that Obama is all they have. That's a workable strategy unless you win, then you still have a socialist in the WH. Some have told me that the Tea partiers in Congress will keep Romney on the Republican up and up. Really, thats yer plan? Oh man, look out. That's nasty, so the plan is to rely of Politicians to keep other politicians honest? Does anyone else see the Irony here?
Mr Bojangles does the same thing. He can't run on his record. When he tries, it's pathetic. Stimulus was a tax cut? The fact Obama supporters are trying to sell him as some tax cutting conservative says it all. Anytime someone criticizes Obama, the answer is "But Bush". If Shrub Jr is the only thing in the world that makes yer guy look somewhat acceptable, you have problems. Then we have the NEO Con aspect where Obama is touted for taking out Bin Laden and other Muslim extremists. That's running against what Obama is.....a prototypical progressives. Progressives don't cut taxes or spending, they raise them. Progressives hated the wars in the Middle East, until they won in 08, then progressives love war and now drones.
The 3rd part of the political continuum series will be the next step in the continuum....crisis. To have a crisis you must have a villain. Stay tuned.
