Election time

In keeping with their 'promise' to voters, republican's (much like howard) have again embraced the retreat from modernity and the social progress made in the last 30-40 years. But the difference this time around is the huge loss of their religious right wing fundamentalists, who remained loyal subjects of the red republican army as the war drums played out in theaters all over the world. This loss, due to a combination of homosexual relationships of republican senator Foley (sex with white house interns), and more recently a Evangelical Rev. Haggard (Snorting amphetamines and sex with male escort) who heads a church of 30 million strong homophobic, family values, right wing republican voters

SO where does that leave republicans political strategy now?...Well when religious zealots fail you, why not turn to racial zealots? And lord knows there has been new battalions of those types breeding in the last few years thanks to this ultra social conservative antimuslim administration.

And just how do these ideas manifest?, just take a look on youtube at the political adds from the state of Tenessee, the south-lands.... Where a black candidate Harold Ford is running for election. The ad's have labeled him as "just not right" ...
just-not-white is more like it. He is being accused of meeting playboy bunnies, and taking money from porn producers; the racial overtones of this ad clearly point to fear of black men, and their insatiable sex drives, *they will rape your sister and your wife, you small dick cracker!!! Tennessee ad

His opponent Corker, has now started to run on family values platform, good safe white family values... Although the HollywoodLiberal found some great photos of Corkers' white daughter getting wild at college...homo-erotically... Kids avert your eyes!

If you watch the video on this page, note that it is from the station MSNBC, which is the only stronghold left on US television for the Democrats to use as a counter the right wing television press.

The similarities to Australian politics are amazing, we see that right wingers do not have any problems using deplorable dirty tactics... but at the same time the left wont engage with them and 'call it out' or match it with strategies which are effective.

As of right now it is unclear which way this race will go... It is really up to last couple of days. In Tennessee at least, the war in Iraq, Katrina, Foley, all the scandals will be drowned out by bigotry and by (once again) fear and mistrust...


This aint the time to get 'tricked out' baby...
