Reality Check: Ben Swann Just Blew the Lid Off the Left Right Paradigm!!!

The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to the doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can "throw the rascals out" at any election without leading to any profound or extreme shifts in policy.

The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate.

No doubt about it...

And knowing this, I'll still go to the polls and cast a ballot for Romney.

Why, you ask.

Because he's not Oblunder and it's the only way I have to strike out at the idiot-in-chief.

They call that insanity. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome.

it's a method of description for political stance.

it is not that hard to grasp.

what is difficult to comprehend is america's lack of parties.

You need to reread my post. Do it slowly this time so your brain might stand a chance to absorb it.

All I want to do is strike out at Oblamo and insure he isn't in the Whitehouse any longer.

That's change enough for me. As far as the rest of it all, we aren't going to change a thing.

Now, as far as lofty idealism goes where we all go cast that almighty ballot for some obscure third-party candidate...

Good luck getting the numbers to make it result in anything more than a waste of your time and energy. Go on, get it done.

I'm way too old and short-tempered to deal with idealistic bullshit. You do what you feel best, and I will too.

Excellent post OP but I'm still voting for Romney all the same.

Why?

Because I know exactly what O's agenda is.

Romney may prove to be as bad or worse, but I do know this country can't take four more years of the Cloward Piven Strategy.

that's one hell of a choice huh..

Amerika 2012.

If I wanted to destroy America……..I would lock down the political system so that you had only two choices which amount to the evil of two lesser’s, and then deride you because you supposedly made the wrong choice and now the growing misery in the country is you and your supposed political party’s fault. All the while I would gloat over the fact that you had no real choices because both candidates selected for you were selected because they were on board with your destruction.

Yes, I agree, but we all know the actual propect of a third party candidate winning is zero.

It will take civil war or something similar to change the political landscape of this country now.

and we know that won't happen.

if romney is it the agenda and policies will continue unabated.

in 4 years we can "vote the rascal out" again while the next person keeps the agenda going.

once again unabated.

There you go - the typical amerikan voter

"I don't care who they voted for,, in the end they voted for us"

- Sta1in

What is the typical American voter? They come in all sizes, shapes, colors, and ages. Some are rich, others poor while most fall inbetween. There are those who walk in, limp in, or roll in to the voting booth. They will be split by gender. There will be smart ones, idiots, and a host of people of median intellect. They will come in from the cold and in shorts. Their clothes will be of every imaginable color and style. Some will drive, others will take public transportaion, carpool, or walk. Religious of virtually every belief known will vote as will the agnostic and atheist.

The variance in American voters would boggle your itty bitty mind were you to be tasked with catagorizing them all.

The broad stroke you clumsily took with that brush is indicative of a very shallow and ignorant person.
