DIRTY POLITICS:
MYTHS v. REALITIES!
Historians will tell you that the
political campaign of 1828 was the dirtiest political campaign in U.S. History
– but this 2014 mid-term political campaign has not yet been compared to that
of 1828 – but as we’ve all seen by now, the smears are pretty bad & then
some! The irony
of the 1828 campaign is that IT WAS THE FIRST TIME political parties actually
held ‘nominating conventions’ to set
forth a ‘slate’ of candidates
representing a single or united ‘platform’
of proposed & promised policies once elected. The first political party to do so was the ‘ANTI-MASONIC
POLITICAL PARTY’ lead by the famous Henry Clay of Kentucky
– the new party actually won in numerous states across America!
But, nowadays, the perspective of ‘political-platforms’ no longer seems to
be the case for what we see in this 2014 election at the national & state
levels is a simple ‘list’, called ‘talking-points’, whereby EVERY REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE simply sounds like a ‘parrot’ or ‘ROBOT’ repeating the same slogans, excuses, and criticizing, condemning & complaining, and
downright talking ‘bullscheiss’ in
EVERY PRECINCT, DISTRICT & STATE all across America! In short, their hatred of Obama has consumed
their very existence to the point of psychopathic self-delusion! But even more
despicable is the ABSOLUTE SELL OUT OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO THE
GIANT-CORPORATIONS! And since the
Billionaires, Wall Street banks, and multi-national corporations DO NOT WANT TO
PAY THEIR TAXES – do NOT want to pay SS Benefits – do NOT want to pay any
Unemployment Benefits – do NOT want to pay any Health Benefits – do NOT want to
pay any ‘Living-Wages’ nor increase
the Minimum-wage – nor for that matter anything else but put PROFITS BEFORE
PEOPLE – America
has a real dilemma!
While public-opinion
polls place Congress as a whole below 20% approval rate – LET US NOT FORGET THAT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY HAS MADE IT
CLEAR THAT THEY WILL NOT CONSIDER OR PASS ANYTHING PROPOSED BY EITHER OBAMA OR
THE DEMOCRAT PARTY!
Then we wonder why
the country is a mess – but was it the same under the Bush-regime? No, under Bush no matter how
bad the legislation was, no matter how many wars were started, no matter what
the costs, no matter how many people lost their jobs by corporations moving
overseas – the
Republicans supported EVERYTHING that the Bush-regime proposed! Now these same ‘bastardoes’ blame all the
unemployment and massive national debt on Obama! Yet for all practical purposes, Obama is
simply a ‘BLACK BUSH’! After his first 100 days in which it
looked like Obama was going to be different – as he promised – Obama simply
became a BLACK VERSION OF BUSH! Obama
has actually murdered more people via DRONE-STRIKES than did Bush &
Cheney! So we’ve gotten nothing but the
same ‘scheiss’ – just different day
& color!
FACT: Like every other Republican
candidate for senate or house of representatives, Shelley Capito wants to TURN
OVER SS to the Wall Street bankers – while Democrat
Natalie Tennant knows that SOCIAL SECURITY HAS BEEN THE MOST SUCCESSFUL
PROGRAM IN THE HISTORY OF ANY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! Nothing has ever lifted
folks out of pauperism & poverty as has Social Security! At the time SS was created, most medical
services consisted of local family doctors – but that has progressed into
specialty -centers that treat everything under Medicare! But federal-Medicare & state-Medicaid
still cost everyone 20% or more and the vast majority cannot keep up with
living-costs & medical-costs at the same time! And then the
town-councils in places like Durbin & Marlinton & Detroit want to CUT OFF WATER to all folks
who have fallen behind and deny their fellow-neighbors a CLEAN DRINK OF WATER! As we said before, such ‘IDIOTA’ should be taken to the nearest wall or strongest tree
branch for some good-ole fashion Social Justice under the Common Law!
Social Security
meanwhile is NOT an ‘entitlement’ but
an INVESTMENT paid for by every worker & employer for the future needs of those
persons when old-age sets in!
But corporations do not want to pay into it anymore, nor do corporations
want to provide PENSIONS nor any retirement benefits anymore – so BILLIONAIRES
such as the Kansas Koch Brothers are paying ‘Idiota’
to go around promoting PROFITS BEFORE PEOPLE!
SS has a cash reserve of several
TRILLION-DOLLARS that the Wall Street bankers want to control and gamble with
in their Hedge-Funds & such!
And since these Wall Street ‘shysters’
are financing Republican candidates for Congress – all such candidates are
telling us to let Wall Street control your future! All Congress has to
do is make every BILLIONAIRE pay into SS the same percentage as the average
worker – and SS can last forever!
So……
JUST SAY NO – AND VOTE DEMOCRAT AT THE STATE
LEVEL!
Also since Congress is on ‘official vacation’ so the parasites can
campaign to keep their ‘gravy-jobs’ –
the only jobs in America by the way that have UNIVERSAL
HEALTH CARE …FOR LIFE – while the rest of us are stuck with the ‘Massachusetts-Romney-plan’,
renamed the ‘Affordable
Health Care Act’, and then forced upon Obama as the ‘Obamacare’ plan by the very Republicans that REFUSED TO GIVE
US UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE as provided for every nation within the European Union
(EU)! Thus the
only Americans with UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE are those in Congress – the very
ones that don’t want the rest of us to have the same FULLY PAID HEALTH COSTS AS
THEY HAVE! Just imagine how
much SIMPLER Medicare & Medicaid would be IF THERE WERE
NO ‘CO-PAY’ – not to forget how much cheaper it
would be for ALL AMERICANS! But as it
stands now, the private-insurance-corporations CONSUME over 1/3 of all
medical-costs AT EVERY LEVEL OF HEALTH CARE – again putting PROFITS BEFORE PEOPLE!
The WEALTH of AMERICA is being
eaten away by the giant insurance corporations, the giant pharmaceutical
corporations, the new Homeland Security Industrial Complex (HSIC), and the
Military Industrial Complex (MIC) that President Dwight David Eisenhower warned
us about on 16 January 1960 in his last address to the American people! And who supports
these GIANT-PARASITES more than the so-called ‘Tea-Party-Republicans’? And
who OWNS the Tea-Party folks? None other
than the BILLIONAIRE KOCH BROTHERS of Kansas!
The Koch Brothers & their ilk
want to DENY an unemployed worker any unemployment benefits – yet they also
want to give the HSIC & MIC everything it wants – it’s
BILLIONS FOR DEFENSE…BUT NOT ONE PENNY FOR SOCIAL SERVICES! It’s insanity & then some! Like their opposing abortion for rape,
incest, a mother’s health, and even for deformed & mentally retarded
children when detected by prenatal-screening – yet then
DENYING THE VERY SOCIAL SERVICES NEEDED TO CARE FOR SUCH CHILDREN! And what about TRILLIONS FOR WAR – but not an extra penny for the families of
those KILLED, MAIMED & WOUNDED in order
for multi-national corporations to steal the raw-materials found in foreign
countries! It’s INSANITY!
Currently C-SPAN is broadcasting
over 100 DEBATES all across America that shows EVERY Republican candidate –PAID
FOR BY THE KOCH BROTHERS – repeating the same ‘party-line’ of ‘bullscheiss’! The Billionaire Koch Brothers have dozens of ‘front-groups’ under a myriad of various
names all claiming to be ‘think-tanks’,
‘study-groups’, ‘political-analysis’, and such so they can all try and fool
the American people that these groups are legitimate when in reality they are
all bought & paid for by DIRTY OIL, DIRTY TAR-SANDS, DIRTY COAL & BLOOD
MONEY while killing their own workers, the pristine mountains, clean streams,
the ice-caps & THE PLANET! And for what? PUTTING PROFITS BEFORE PEOPLE…so they get
more billions!
FACT: The world is running out of
OIL & GAS – so how will our current lifestyles become possible in the near
future without alternative clean energy?
Already the U.S.
Military is concerned that our seaports will be UNDER WATER in the next
generation pursuant to the melting polar ice shelves and rising ocean levels! Since OIL PRODUCTION is shrinking all around
the world, how will the next generation obtain heat or fuel for transportation,
agriculture, obtain plastic, and keep motors running without OIL? EUROPE has moved
into WIND, SOLAR, HYDROGEN, etc., while America continues to feed its ‘Oil-Addiction’! The future of our nation is bleak, indeed,
unless we change direction fast!
LOCALLY: If the THREE STOOGES on the
current county commission give Donald Trump PRIVATE-CORPORATE control of
Snowshoe / Silver Creek with the RAD (Resort Area District) – then it will wipe
out this county as we have all known it!
The history of Trump shows that he is a GREEDY PROFITEER
first & foremost until he sucks an area dry, then moves on to another
victim – just like a mythical VAMPIRE!
Any jobs offered will be MINIMUM-WAGE so they will help no one for
long! And as for the local
gas-station-convenient stores that think a FOUR-LANE will help them – watch – the
giant corporations will have THEIR GAS STATIONS at the intersections on the FOUR-LANE and the
local stores will simply DRY UP! Do
local stores survive long when Wal-Mart comes into an area? What do you think a four-lane will do when it
is directed TO & FROM Snowshoe
Mountain and no where
else?
For example: Does anyone remember when the golf-course was
built at Snowshoe? All workers were supposed to be paid UNION WAGES –
but since it was being built in Pocahontas County where MINIMUM-WAGES PREVAILED
– only minimum-wages were paid to the workers while the balance of the funds
were divided among MANAGEMENT! Think it
will change under Donald Trump?
For the past six-years
lame-duck-David Fleming played the role of a PUPPET and pretended to be ‘nice’ when he wasn’t BEARING FALSE
WITNESS against those that exposed his greed, lies about his address & GVEDC-corruption
– and he claims to be a self-styled ‘educated’
person, so he says -- SO JUST THINK what the
THREE-PUPPETS will do who are not as self-styled ‘educated’ as Fleming?
Can this county actually survive anymore MISTAKES & PUPPETS on the
county commission? Donald Trump is
hoping so!
THAT’S WHY, as
important as this mid-term election is, ordinarily we’d say VOTE STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT to keep the SOCIAL SAFETY NET
& MEET the SOCIAL NEEDS of everyone – but since the two Democrat candidates
for County Commission are so inept by lacking the knowledge and skills
necessary to govern a county –
COMPARED
TO THE TWO EXPERIENCED REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR COUNTY COMMISSION – we say
Vote
Democrat at every level EXCEPT for County Commission…
For COUNTY COMMISSION: VOTE FOR…
Charles
Wilfong who is perhaps the
most experienced and successful farmer this county has ever seen – besides
working for all farmers in this state in the leadership of the West Virginia
State Farm Bureau…
And,
Norman
Lee Alderman who has never stopped
trying to benefit the folks of this county in all his various efforts as a
school teacher, pastor, former county commissioner, and the FACTS he presents on
his powerful Website –
THAT’S WHY…
On 04 NOVEMBER…there’s no excuse…
IT’S YOUR
CHOICE…
TO CHANGE THINGS FOR THE BETTER!
Just say ‘NO’ to
those who want to keep this county in Poverty & Pauperism
– and –
Just say ‘YES’ to
real Progress
& Prosperity for the future!
On Election Day – YOU have a chance to elect two persons
that will always put YOU first! They know that:
THE
GREATER COMMON GOOD ALWAYS COMES BEFORE SELF OR ANY SELF-SERVING SPECIAL
INTERESTS!
Keep up to Date – Stay tuned to these Websites:
On 04 NOVEMBER it doesn’t matter how you are registered – YOU CAN VOTE
