Morons of the Month - January 2012

At this point, the Presidential 2012 election campaign is in full swing.  There have been more Republican candidate debates than there were episodes of "One Life To Live."  All of their supporters have all dug themselves into their trenches, vowing that their guy (or, for a little while, gal) is the best person to sit in the Oval Office.  Most refuse to hear dissenting opinions as lemmings in America are essentially the most intolerant people on Earth.

Here's a bulletin for everybody residing in somebody's political camp.

Most of the people running for President on the Republican side of the aisle?  Scumbags.

The guy currently in the White House?  A real scumbag.

Okay, so what's a reasonably intelligent citizen to do?  As he stands amongst a bunch of jerks who really don't deserve the Constitutional right to vote.

There are clowns who will simply pull the lever of their party because their parents and grandparents told them to do so.  How else can you explain such ridiculousness as the idiots of Delaware and Massachusetts who repeatedly re-elected schmucks like Joe Biden and Ted Kennedy to the U.S. Senate over and over?

There are dummies who will vote Democratic regardless of whether their candidate is qualified to do anything but count the number of paper clips in his or her desk.  Most of these stooges are still voting against the vile and despicable Richard Nixon.  They think the Watergate case is still open in the courts and that anybody even remotely Conservative is actively involved in the cover-up.

There are other loonies who vote and vote and vote based on sex or skin color or the size of a forehead mole or because they think that Barack Obama is going to pay their monthly cell phone bill.  Most of them have never cracked an American history book in their lives.  They don't know that anybody was President prior to Bill Clinton and think that World War II was nothing but a Sega video game.

Democracy is a grand and noble notion.  If only it weren't being completely wasted on the stupid.

The more I watch the political landscape that unfolds before us, my father's words on our governmental leadership echo even louder than before.

"They all stink."

Yep, Dad, they do.  And, unfortunately, in this polarized yet personally empowered world, so do the legions of dopes that follow them blindly off the cliff.

Just when you think that a candidate's supporting bloc couldn't be more dumber, there comes a group that even defies the limits of stupidity.  This month's slamdunk nominees for "Morons of the Month."

Yes, that would be the Ron Paul supporters.

These folks are an amazing bunch.  A lot of them are young.  They are fanatics.  They are working tirelessly to push the exploits of their proposed leader on the internet and social networks.  They can't talk enough about "their guy."

They are as idiotic as they come. 

Anybody supporting a raving lunatic like Ron Paul for the office of President should also be on a very short waiting list for lifetime accommodations at the Bellevue Hospital psychiatric ward.

Think about this man who is a complete and utter embarrassment.  Listen to him speak for five minutes.  He is incoherent.  A blabbering fool who makes Ross Perot look like Benjamin Franklin on the eve of the discovery of electricity.  While his views on the nation's economy are on target, his stance on America's position as a world leader is straight out of 1886.  Paul wants us to go back to the "laissez-faire" attitude that the United States adopted as long as it could.  Enter World War I and, frankly, that scud missile has now sailed.

Here's a man who is completely out of touch with the realities of the world in 2012.  In his late 70s, Ron Paul's major goal in life should be to ensure that his nursing home features more than one flavor of Jell-o at dinner every night.  And, even that decision might be a little too much for him.  As the leader of the free world?  God help our globe.

Try to tell that to one of his supporters who bloviate ad nauseum about how Ron Paul is the answer to all our problems.  These are lunkheads who don't even know what our problems are.  A lot of them look like their personal vistas have yet to expand past living in their mother's basement.  Surfing the internet to sell their Star Wars action figures on e-Bay.  They watch the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy at least five times a year.  Bar soap is a luxury item.

And none of them have a sense at all about American history and the importance of the office of the Chief Executive.  If they did, they wouldn't be wearing the campaign buttons of a full-fledged maniac, whose craziness is so immense that it has its own zip code.

Yet, march on, they do.  Cheer on, they do.  Push the envelope of insanity, they do. 

Ron Paul has zero chance to be the Republican nominee for President.  Actually, much less than zero.  His fans remain undaunted.  Well then, he can run as an independent third party.

Goofballs, your vote now counts for nothing.  You might as well take that ballot, which was fought and bled over by American soldiers throughout the years, and use it to roll up your next doobie.  Their sheer presence in the voting populace threatens to throw the election next November into a downward spiral that could be the penultimate nail in the coffin containing this once-great land.

I've said it before and I will say it again.  In order to vote in this country, you need to pass a test. 

And, if that were the case, every single one of the Ron Paul voting bloc would probably be disqualified.

Dinner last night:  Boboli pizza with pepperoni.
