A Mandate...Not!

A Mandate…NOT!

Lombard, IL - As I sat in front of the TV and watched film footage of long voter lines, listened to the returns, and saw state after state labeled red or blue, Bush or Kerry (Ohio has yet to be called one way or the other yet), I reflected on what I learned over the past several months of the contentious, name calling, mud slinging contest that we’ve all come to know as American politics. Here’s what I came up with.

Both Presidential Candidates Were So Convincing That…
First, George W. Bush definitely convinced me that John Kerry is a spineless, flip flopper with no conviction, principals, or character on which to stand. Furthermore, Kery’s a chameleonic political opportunist who’d turn almost any color in order to win votes from the naïve, well intended, yet gullible American citizenry. Even Kerry’s Vietnam service and medals were badly tarnished by Bush and his Swift Boat cronies from Texas. No, John Kerry is not the real deal he claims to be after all.

On the other hand, John Kerry, along with Michael Moore, and the rest of the world have convinced me that George W. Bush is an arrogant, mindless, and dangerous ideological empty suit, who has successfully isolated the US from the world community, polarized the American public, and deserves to be rated the worst President in our two hundred year history. Furthermore, he should be tarred, feathered, banished to a foreign country…like Crawford, TX, and put on a steady diet of pretzels while our nation digs out from under the carnage of his accidental four, and now possibly eight year stint in the White House.

A Mandate?
In other words, if they’re anything like me, most Americans voted against someone, not for someone. And at the end of the day, when all the votes are in and counted, what we really know is that almost half of the American public loathes G.W. Bush and the Republicans, while the other half loathes J.F. Kerry and the Democrats. If any kind of mandate that can be gleaned from this political mine field, it is that…the time is ripe to flush the two corporately owned, mainstream parties down the red, white, and blue toilet, and start the engines all over again.

Why Can’t They Raise Themselves Above NFL/NBA Trash Talk?
Now let me pose the following question to you. Why is it that neither one of these self professed, high minded, and devoutly Christian candidates for the most powerful position in the world, have been unable to raise their rhetoric above the level of NBA, NFL trash talk? Why did the political discourse between these two %^&*’s have to be carried out at the lowest National Enquirer level? Why is it that in the recent debates these two corporately chosen and sponsored ‘leaders’ were not only insulting to one another, stopping just short of expletives deleted on numerous occasions, but were even more insulting to the listening audience…worldwide?

The Only Two Possible Answers
I suggest that there are two possible answers to these questions. Number one is, since the days when master Republican mudslinger Lee Atwater defined the way that the modern American political game was destined to be played back in the early 80’s, politicians have discovered that World Wrestling Federation politics wins. In other words, the lower you’re willing to go, the better your odds get in America these days.

The second answer however is that both candidates lack any legitimately good ideas that address legitimate, 21st century problems. In the midst of that void, their only choice is to sling mud at their opponent, and whoever ends up with the most mud all over them, loses…along with the totally confused, and cynical American public.

Choosing Between The Lesser Of Two Evils…
The result is that, for most of the past quarter century, Americans been left to choose between the lesser of two corporately sponsored evils. In other words, for that period of time, we’ve been voting against someone we loathe, instead of voting for someone we revere and respect, and this year is no exception, and possibly the best example of, that rule. That in a nutshell, is the current state of American politics.

So, Just How Disgusted Are You?
Now allow me one more question here. How thoroughly disgusted and repelled are you by the charade that now calls itself 21st century American politics?
· Are you disgusted enough to say, “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more,” …and mean it?
· Are you disgusted enough to entertain the possibility of voting for a legitimate third party candidate since the two mainstream parties have shown themselves to be so incredibly inept, lost in space, and out of touch with America?
· Are you disgusted enough to actually listen, to think, and to actively participate in the formation of an all new party which is dedicated to rekindling America’s original Spirit of Democracy, and to reinventing the American political system in such a way that it actually becomes a government of, by, and for the people instead of a puppet of the international corporate elite?

If So, Let Me Introduce You To The American Revolutionary Party
If your answer is yes, then I want to tell you about a new party that’s evolving on America’s horizon. It’s called The American Revolutionary Party, and I want you to hear what they have to offer you in terms of cutting edge, 21st century answers for real live, 21st century problems, and how they differ from the chameleonic drivel you’ve heard coming out of the two mainstream candidates for the past several months.

But to be honest, I have to admit that this is going to require more than the proverbial thirty second sound bite. However, if I’ve succeeded in piquing your curiosity, I want to refer you to our new web site, www.americanrevolutionaryparty.us where you will find solid, concrete answers that you’ve never heard from the mainstreamers.

You will also see the kind of people who have already lined up behind a concept that is destined to produce a steady, 48-month march (from November 2004 to November 2008) into the hearts and minds of individual Americans, from sea to shining sea. Until then…Let Freedom Ring, Let Democracy Grow, Let Peace And Prosperity Finally Prevail, And May God Bless The Entire World!

Sincerely,

P.S./Warning: Let me warn you that from this point forward, presuming you check us out, you’ll find no more trash talk, no more World Wrestling Federation, or as some have called it, Yo Mama politics. It may be a shock to your system to discover a political party who is just talking about good, positive, common sense ideas that’ll move this country forward FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST A FEW. But I promise, you can get used to it. You may even grow to like it after the first ten seconds or so. But I wanted to give you a fair warning so it didn’t just sneak up on you. Consider yourself warned!
