I used to love KoolAId, too.

I am feeling sick to my stomach.
Not because of anything I ate as you may assume.
No, it's too much sugar in my diet.

I'm speaking of the multiple tons of sugar heaped in the direction of one of the major Presidential Candidates.
This has been going on since his national introduction at their convention way back in 2004 when he gave his first major speach.

It became obvious to me then that here was their candidate for the current 2008 election.
The mainstream media, in all of their "journalistic integrity" immediately jumped on his bandwagon.

Any legitimate critique is labeled as Divisive, Bullying or negative dirty politics.
Or, the most egregious nonsense of all, Racist.

In other words, do not dare to crititize the annointed one!

It is his destiny to rule us all, and to eliminate anything that we perceive to be bad.
Lately this seems to include Free Market Capitalism as well.

The economy, "Man made Global Warming", international diplomacy, free college, free health care, free housing, free free free!
I'll solve it all!
And of course at no cost to anyone.
Excepting the "wealthy".
And wealthy is whatever we say it is.

The annointed one will fix it! Trust us!

It is troubling to the point of dispair to the Queen and I how many people seem to have willingly "drank the KoolAid" of all of this empty rhetoric and bombast.

Facts? If they seem to contradict the annointed one's public statements, well then they cannot be true.
Please don't confuse us with the truth!

When he is caught in contradictions or outright lies, there is always an excuse.
And no shortage of media lapdogs to blast the public with blanket disapproval of his accusers.

As kids we were taught "You are known by the company that you keep"

It is also off-limits to bring that up in the case of "the annointed one"
Violent terrorists who advocated the overthrow of our government, who planted bombs that killed police officers and other innocent victims?
Why, that was then! He is a college professor now! I guess that makes everything AOK, huh?

Insanely racist, anti-american "Clergy" ranting and dancing to the tune of "everything about this country stinks"?
Why, I never heard of such a thing while I was sitting in his congregation.
For twenty years.

Imagine if it were a White separatist racist "pastor", who led a Republican candidate's congregation.
Well, I'm sure the media would have no problem with that!

The current financial mess, mostly due to idiotic loan policies in forcing banking institutions to grant big loans to people that did not qualify and most likely would not be able to fulfill their payment obligations started in 1999.

That's right, during the Clinton Administration.
Do your homework and follow the money back to that starting point.
There are many people sitting in Congress right now accusing the current President and the other party of sole responsibility for the disaster.
Look at their financials.
One Senator in particular who heads the powerful Finance Committee has benefitted greatly from sweetheart mortgage rates and other benefits.
And he doesn't have an "R" after his name either.

The entire situation stinks, and we the taxpayer are going to end up paying for it.
Don't let "the annointed one" use this to help sweep into the Oval Office.

And please, young people, you are too old to continue "drinking the KoolAid"

Use the brains the Good Lord gave you and think your way through this!

The old axiom "There ain't no free lunch!" still applies in 2008.
