What's Dirty Laundry and Spin, without an Agitator?

What are we talking about here in America? I talk to people that vote republican that know all about "those democrats" and democrats that know all about "those republicans," but they are always shocked at the interesting trivia about the party they support . . . Do you know how many people that voted republican in the last couple elections know that Hillary Clinton had a seance in the White House, but had no idea Nancy Reagan had invited a psychic into the Reagan White House? Do you know how many people that vote democrat, the party of the working man, have no idea how many of their party leaders are well connected, capitalistically speaking? And the pundits that intentionally interject derogatory comments and replacement words are just disgusting. And then there are the liberals who astound us all with their response to those that disagree with them . . . "I don't care!" Do you love it? So much of the spin just sounds like bad little kids that are telling whoever is listening, "You're not the boss of me!" I still remember when the conservatives made the big production out of John Kerry using his initials JFK, because that was a political decision to allign himself with John Kennedy. Duh! No kidding. That concept had to be introduced to them, by their very own Rush, and then it had to be discussed and re-discussed until they found some other way to be disgusted with Mr. Kerry. I just thought, what a deal, it wasn't like he changed his name to try it. Those were his initials and it made sense to allign himself with a successful member of his party. I don't think George W. Bush tried to distance himself from a president that had similar initials! Oh that's right, the H. in George 41 became a landmark issue, and for what? What's the big deal if he was a junior? It's not unheard of in American families for the first son to be named after his father. We've started how many wars, told how many world leaders they better tow the mark, got summits and accords going everywhere, while we've spent our time discussing middle initials, as a campaign issue. And what's amazing are the sponsors. They are willing to pay for this air time, because they know people are just eating it up. So, why does every topic have to be micro-analyzed? If someone keeps agitating, the politics will just keep spinning. I'm on to this "discussion business," to avoid the actual information. I really haven't noticed major dirty laundry any more, the trivia keeps the air waves tied up for hours, days and months. Oh, that's right, everyone just stands up and says, "I did it," and that makes it acceptable, they've taken responsibility. Neither party minds the dirty laundry any more, everybody can wear it proudly as long as they announce that it is dirty! So, we'll just all watch the same tired little topics that no one is going to do a thing about, go through the cycles. Let's discuss abortion and gay issues, initials and name similarities. Have you noticed how disagreeable the liberal talk show hosts are while they discuss the warmongers? Where's their tolerance? I wonder if Rush is aware, as he totally disrespects and speaks with disregard of the education system, that Dr. Bill Bennett is also a conservative talk show host, and just happened to be the Secretary of Education before he was the Drug Czar. And here I sit, a complete nobody, typing away on an obscure blog, disagreeing with all of them. We all have something to say, the "unique perspective" that must be heard, and the ability to make an issue of anything and everything.
. . . and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment
