Political Symbolisms

The McCain-Palin ticket may be shallow on the many dilemmas facing the U.S/the world--the economy, species extinction, Middle East tensions, poverty at home and abroad, global warming, civil liberties, etc--but the behind-the scenes spinmeisters that string them along are brilliant stage masters/reality-benders that we all should be wary of & confront with righteous anger. Remember Reagan and his hollywood swagger that captured a nation and gutted the poor and working-class while the rich made off like the bandits like they've always been. Political symbolism is very powerful, and no matter what the substantive issues are of the day, diverting the voters' attention away from the real issues that affect them to the things that do not (through unubstantiated personal attacks, rhetorical sleight of hand, straw man tactics,red-herring schemes, etc) is a game as old as politics, but folks fall for it every time. Don't think Obama is a shoe-in--He has a ways to go as these dirty GOP bastards will do whatever it takes to prevail.

Be vigilant!
