Meaningless Democratic Infighting Bullshit

David Geffen, who is a music producer (and flamboyantly gay, or so I've read1) said that Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton lie very easily, and that alarms him. A Newsweek reporter asked one of Hillary Clinton's representatives about Geffen's comments, and was stonewalled.

David Geffen supports Barack Obama. So does George Clooney, who gave the maximum amount of money to Obama's campaign as soon as Obama announced. As of 2004, the maximum amount was $2000. I'm not sure if it's the same now. Anyway, Clooney said that Obama was as good a candidate as JFK when he was young or Bobby Kennedy just before he was murdered.

Let's engage in some heuristic ficiton and call the California-based supporters of Barack Obama "Hollywood". Hollywood seems to have cast its lot in with Barack Obama. It has therefore unavoidably abandoned the Clintons.

Choosing Clinton means rejecting Obama. Choosing Obama means rejecting Clinton. There isn't a third choice, unfortunately.

Get used to there not being a third choice. That's America. In fact, there might not even be a second choice.

Which is another way of saying that there may not be a choice at all.

I think Hollywood is overestimating the appeal of Barack Obama to middle America. I haven't lived there in a while, but the part of America in which I was born hates niggers. Even now. And they're just going to look at Barack Obama and say that he's a nigger, and not give it any more thought. Some people might think that's unfair, and might think that people like that have no business casting a vote, but there you go. That's the wisdom of the herd. By the way, your government is murdering and torturing people in your name!

I hear that Fox news has already started besmirching Obama's record. If you still watch Fox News as a source of news, you should go and buy a shotgun and shoot yourself in the head.

Anyway, this bullshit is meaningless, but shit like this is already influencing who the next leader of the world is going to be.

Your vote doesn't matter. You have absolutely no input into the way the world works, except insofar as you can choose what you want to eat (within your budget).

  1. I'm just including this piece of information so you can get a better idea of David Geffen. I don't have anything against gayness.
