The "Well Adjusted" & "Normal" Were NOT Listening Last Night...

[Starpass]

Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Cook of the Cook Report was being interviewed about the upcoming debates yesterday evening. They asked what great things he expected to see in the way of pronouncements, attacks, etc. from our candidates. Cook snickered and said "nothing new". He said no one watches these things anyway. He went on to explain how this always happens, ie., how poltical junkies who eat this stuff for supper follow these things and cheer their "guy" on, etc. He then said (paraphrased) that the "well adjusted and normal" American doesn't pay any attention to this junk until about two weeks before the general election. I see that in order to be "well adjusted and normal" you have to be a fucking, ignorant moron who wouldn't soil themselves learning about how their livelihood and quality of life are being flushed down the sewer. I see that it is not being well adjusted if you wonder why your kid is being sent to be slaughtered or to slaughter in a "made up war". Let it be officially known then: Thinking is an abnoral activity in the US of A---guess we better pass out more tranquilizers, booze and illegal drugs to take the edge off of any of that there "abnormal" thinking some people are doing and tell them to chill out and turn off the brain... ungodamnbelievable....

1. Thank You Starpass

for your eloquent rant. This is exactly what I was thinking to
myself when I saw that little weasel slamming the democratic process
and insulting the democratic voters. My observation is that the
power structure in the dem party in undergoing a huge shift (let's
hope) and I think the polling pundits are getting nervous, the
online and progressive grassroots machine is on the move. Get on board
or get the f**k out of the way. Peace baby!

2. The well adjusted and normal

do not believe in an informed electorate. NOT!

3. Well, his language was a bit off but unfortunately he's right

NOTE: Charlie Cook is a Dem, has been a Dem, and has consistently contributed money to Dem causes for a long time.

His job as a pollster is to be objective about the situation. Being objective means pointing out that only those who are obsessed with the process are paying attention.

It sucks, but it's true.
