Now showing on US politics, John Boehner!

I'm still for Mitt Romney for 2012!

Just for the record I'm hardly a pundit. I'm not American nor do I live in the US. However I'm more fascinated with whats happening there more than what's going here. Politics sucks, and politicians gobble it all up.

Anyway, this post is about the recent victory of Republicans in Midterm elections. With the victory, the GOP regained control of congress. John Boehner, will be the incoming speaker of the House.

From NY Daily:

It was a scene straight out of "Mad Men" - chain-smoking Don Draper denouncing "addictive" cigarettes after his ad agency lost a big tobacco account.

Except it was Rep. John Boehner - speaker of the House-in-waiting - on Election Night, enthusiastically ripping into the city that made him what he is.

"For too long, Washington has been doing what's best for Washington, not what's best for the American people," said the man who would be third in line to the presidency.

The sounds of jaws dropping filled the air. Here was a man who epitomized Washington denying he ever had anything to do with the place. The fictional Don Draper would have been proud.

In many ways, Boehner is the Don Draper of D.C. - a chain-smoking, unapologetic Midwesterner in a sharp suit straight out of America, circa 1962. Read more

CNN:

Who is John Boehner? Among friends, he's just one of the guys.

During Boehner's time in Congress, he's also earned a reputation among reporters and colleagues as having a laid-back demeanor and a penchant for wisecracks. On Thursday, when questioned by ABC's Diane Sawyer about the possibility of a "Slurpee summit" with President Obama, Boehner responded, "I don't know about a Slurpee. How about a glass of merlot?"

Well, suddenly 2012 seems fast approaching. No Palin, please!

An a polling situation

Midterm madness indeed. Every politician and their supporters and have their own gimmicks, tactics. Final attacking ads from left wing liberals and right wing conservatives sending voters in frenzied confusion.

The push poll -- designed to disseminate information about the candidates, rather than collect it -- is just one of the last-minute tactics inundating, and in some cases rankling, Maryland voters in the final week of a campaign. (Washington Post)

Yes. From stem cell research to having the phrase "under God" removed n out or have it remain with the pledge of allegiance.

And then the ads... dumping tens of millions of dollars just to convince people to vote for them. According to Evan Tracey of the Campaign Media Analysis Group. "Politics is probably the only business in the world where they spend the most money when they have the least number of available customers to pitch to" (Washington Post)

Man, these politicians and their fund rasing supporters are swimming in bucks. Televisions gonna be inundated with campaign ads. Voters gonna be swimming in television confusion. Shit. I have two ads, the left and the right... whom should I vote, please tell me! Convince me! Oh yeah!I think for some of the people voting, they make up their minds minutes before casting their ballots. And for others, they know already who they want to see lead their state.

We're going to experience similar frenzied motions, and money dumping ads and different gimmiks of running candidates next year for our May elections. Heh. Politics kills me. It's is soo exciting don't you think so? Boringly exciting. Lets see who leads the nation as people exercise their right of suffrage.

48 hours till the war

Pres. Bush says Saddamn must leave the IRAQ destroy all weapons of mass destruction! or face the consequence of the might of U.S(sans key allies,French and Russia) and he's been given 2 days..oh my...war is on it's ways. But it's as if SADDAMN will leave his ruled country! I'll repeat it again..get it over with! so we can have peace! Actually, I heard the argument that they, the Iraqis, has been inspected a lot of times by the UN inspectors and that really the main reason U.S is pursuing war with IRAQ is to overthrow the tyrant leader and just install a new one. But the thing is, will there be a new leader or will IRAQ be under military jurisdiction of U.S?
Anybody hear the bells of PEACE? I do!
