DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: THE POLITICAL SYSTEM

Anybody with a pulse in the country should agree with me that the unforgivable ruling by the Supreme Court unleashing gobs of corporate money on us has been every bit the disaster most of us saw it would be. Both republicans and dems get a big FU as well for not doing anything to fix this situation which will lead us directly to a fascist state. Let's look at the runner ups.

1) The California Police Dept- Yet another example of why I dislike cops. These douchebags extraordinarie are warning parents to be on the lookout for dope laced candy gotten form the dispensaries. This is nothing more than a fear tactic. First if anybody ever did this, which they haven't by the way, they should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. However as it's probably not going to happen because most peope who smoke pots aren't dickish enough to do such a thing. And even if they were, nobody gives away candy that costs 10 to 15 dollars a piece. This is fearmongering to stop Prop 19. Don't fall for it.

2) Boston Cops- Sure are a lot of police getting caught screwing up lately. This latest debacle comes from video taken of a dozen cops, kicking and punching a 16 year old defendant who was already on the ground. As some one who took martial arts for years I can tell you these guys are the worst trained police I've ever seen. 12 guys and you can't subdue a 16 year old kid, and not even that big of one from the mug shots it looks. Did no one show you how to do a simple arm lock? Maybe a new career line is in store for you like crossing guard or gay twink porn star. There is never an excuse for what you guys did and I hope you all get fired.

3) Tea Party and their Supporters- Helped along by my douchebag of the week, the tea party has seen a resurgence in the polls putting many a dem in trouble. These fools are voting for an end to the American dream and a new Depression. Awesome. Recent polls show a majority of Americans who incorrectly believe that their taxes went up, that the stimulus did nothing and that TARP will cost us billions. None of those are true. Neither is cutting taxes a way to prosperity. The Great Depression resurged when spending was cut in the wrong places and regulations failed to be put in place that would stop the problem from happening again. Sound familiar?

4)Polls- Depending on what channel you watch, newspaper you read, or radio channel you listen to, the polls given will be radically different. Studies have shown a marketable difference between robo calls and those conducted by a real person. this may be due to the fact that people are more likely to tell the truth to a machine than real person who may judge them. If someone told me they were voting for Christine O'Donnell, I would indeed laugh at them. There is also the generational gap where many younger people do not have landlines. As polls are never conducted by cell phone, these polls will always skewer older and more Republican. Tuesday will be the kicker.

5)Politics- With the floodgates of money wide open, my prediction of non stop ads have come to pass, most of which are barely capable of telling the lies from the facts from both sides of the aisle. The amount of foreign money being introduced is unknown but what isn't is that the Republicans have benefited greatly from this new law as their candidates are all pro business even if they don't sound like it on the campaign trail. The Tea party and Republicans are not your friends, albeit the dems are more the enemy of my enemy rather than true allies. This year though will near unlimited funds, the voices of reason and democracy are being pushed out by the loudest and the brashest. We face a serious problem over the next few years and this isn't helping. God help us. So yes politics you are indeed douchebag of the week.
