McCain wins by a landslide

Despite an American public disgusted by eight years of failed republican policies administered by perhaps the worst president in the history of the United States, voters chose John "Let's torture em'" McCain by an overwhelming margin over Hillary "I crushed your dreams" Clinton.

Who could have predicted back in February of 2008, when America was at the height of its anti Bush sentiment, that our next president would be another republican stooge who's policies mirrored almost identically the outgoing clusterfuck of a man, George W Bush.

What happened?
During the primaries there was record turnout on the democratic side.
Turnout that broke all records and expectations. First time voters and long time abstaining voters came out in droves.
People by the millions had clearly chosen the newcomer Barack Obama to lead the fight against not only the republicans, but against the entrenched special interests and lobbyists who had virtually destroyed any semblance of a government for the people by the people. And then came the convention.
Fueled by an overpowering, raging desire for power, the Clintons called in every conceivable political favor they had accumulated,used every underhanded tactic they could buy and threatened anyone who stood in their way, to snatch the nomination away from Obama by virtue of the super delegate flaw in the system.

One doesn't have to be a rocket surgeon to understand the abrupt change in the democratic party's fortune.
First there was the immediate division among democrats. People who would have worked their ass off for months to get Obama elected, donating, phone banking, knocking on doors, instead opted to stay home until Nov. 4th and vote democratic because the alternative was just too horrible to think of.
What difference could these advocates have made had they still been in love with the idea of representative government?

Those millions of new voters who had finally fought through their disgust and suspicion of all things political, deciding then to get involved with the campaign of Obama, realized they were right in the first place, that the system was rigged and their vote really didn't matter after all.
Millions remember being referred to as "irrelevant" by Hillary Clinton.
Just one of the too numerous to count blunders made by the Clinton camp during the campaign.

Next, the lackadaisical turnout of republicans during the primaries changed to a massive rush to the polls on election day, united in their extreme fanatical hatred of all things Clinton.

More yet gave up hope and were repulsed by the nasty cheap attacks used by Clinton during the primary.

And then there was Clenis.
Here we all thought the Big Dog had overcome his sexual addiction and had put the presidential trouser trout on hiatus. He went to a couple 12 step meetings right?
Turns out it gets lonely out on the road.
After six months of vicious attacks by the right wing and new revelations by half a dozen young impressionable girls who were unfortunate enough to be smitten with the charismatic Big Dog since his departure from office eight years ago, and have since found themselves stalked day and night by the press looking for every lurid and deviant detail. Despite Slick Willy's vehement denials of any wrong doing, depending on what your definition of "wrong" is, Americans decided enough is enough.

President Bush has indicated that with the White House now firmly in the grasp of another republican, he will send another carrier group to cruise off the coast of Iran to "send another strong message" that America intends to disarm them.

You know it could happen.
