Crass Commercialism
[ 1 Comment ] Posted on 08.30.04 in politics, television
I’m sick and tired of it all. Note that this is not some melodramatic wane of teenage angst that is so common in blogging these days. What I’m upset about is being pummeled constantly for about a month every two years with political ads – on television, on the radio, and in print. It’s almost too much to bear. Tomorrow is the Republican Primary, where GOP candidates will be weeded out to make for probable Republican victory in November.
I don’t consider myself to be a Republican, but if I were, this guy would be my choice for Senate.
All the other commercials say pretty much the same thing:
“I am a conservative. President Bush likes me. I hate the terrorists. Don’t you? You don’t? Then you must be a terrorist. Here, you can absolve yourself by putting one of these nifty ‘God Bless America’ bumper stickers on your fender.”
But this fellow, he knows how to appeal to me aesthetically: Lawyers dropping into an endless watery abyss, his two major opponents in M&M form bouncing onto the screen, and a well made-up face to boot. (Listen closely when his opponents come onscreen and you can hear a squishy, bouncy noise. Brilliant!)
In closing, this Web site would like to officially support Doug Gallagher for one of Florida’s Senate seats in the Republican Primary election tomorrow. Now won’t that be print worthy on future ads?
He’s always around

I work now so I can generously give a mandated portion to him.
I can’t take right hand turns into the left lane because he says so.
I can’t become a hairdresser without a license because he doesn’t want to trust me enough to snip his curly locks.
Crossing at places other than intersections? Not on his watch.
I have some freedoms, but I’m not going to receive them if I don’t have the necessary paperwork.
What’s worse, my voice means nothing to him; I can’t even vote for him.
He is The Man.
And from this point forward, it has been stuck to the aforementioned man.
State of the Union

Found this on the ibscrewed forum.
Confident and strong, indeed.
