Paris Exposed – Paris Hilton Sex Tape…

I will be the first one to tell you that Clinton is just as much a “backroom” jostler as Bush is. But excuse me people! I hate to bring a some fact to your attention. Bush is our president now, not mr. smarmy Clinton. I don’t give a good G’dam’ what Clinton (did way back when. I do However, care that the president of our country is the most corrupt, slimy, war mongering man to lead this country. Not a day goes by that things don’t get more “exciting?”
or maybe the correct word in this istance should be more “F’ked up.”

What I would really like to know, and again, let me make it entirely clear, I don’t give a rats azz about why Ford decided to commute Nixon, I want to know why, when a man, regardless of his connections to the highest echelons of this government is convicted in the highest court in the land get a free pass. Tell me?
would mr. blue collar, work your azz off! blow joe, I’m struggling to make ends meat, I’ve paid my most egregious debt to society speeding tickets) religiously patriotic, flies a f’ken flag everyday of the week American, WHY? WHY? wouldn’t he get his “sentence” commuted. Huh? tell, me, that! Cause I would really like to know.
Justice ceases to matter when justice doesn’t apply to the “friends” of the venal, corrupt mr. Tammany seating his lil’ azz in the oval office.

Deliberate obstructionism and argumentativeness are actually pre-requisite necessary but not sufficient qualities for membership. You also must have the constitution and inclination to actively provoke and antagonize partisans of either stripe as needed. This in order to help maintain the delicate polarized partisan balance where our 8% can actually control the outcome of the vote.

You gotta look more closely at the date on my post. Yes it was May 7th. But it was May 7th, *2005*.

If the Dividist Party will accept deliberate obstructionism and argumentativeness as a qualified good, I’m on board.

I think Karl Jung calls it synchroniicy, or ‘meaningful coincidence’. There were a couple more synchronistic elements in our posts Similarity in our internet handles (mw and imw) and some very similar thinking about the moderate middle. I note your reference to the non-existence of a ‘moderate manifiesto’ as I have an unfinished and unposted screed I titled the ‘Dividist Manifesto’ (stay tuned). Perhaps we are exactly the same person. Are you sure you are not my sock puppet?

Anyway, you hit on exactly the right point about the nature of the moderate middle, which is that it really does not exist in any meaningful way. When you peel off the rabid partisans on the right and left, then peel off the mildly partisan on the right and left, then peel of the partisan-leaning who vote from their partisan comfort zone no matter what they say about being independent, what you are left with is about 10% or less of the electorate.

That is why these fantasies of a ‘moderate’ 3rd party with a plurality of votes will never happen.

I’d like to invite you to become the second member of the Dividist Party (although you may want to wait for the manifesto). No leaders, no platform, no convention, no contributions, no candidates. With an evenly split partisan supermajority, we just need about 5-8% of the electorate to vote consciously and consistently for divided federal government to control the political dialog and maintain better “moderate” governance.

I’m just joking. But it is scary similar, don’t ya think?
