I have been
so docile and mellow but it’s time to put in my two cents on the latest
American election. You know why
Americans are disliked around the world?
Because they are nasty bullies who instead of winning fairly and
honestly will kick folks when they are down, will sucker punch, and will just
plain lie.
What am I talking about? Watching an American channel as we get to the
end of the race we find that the commercials have become more and more loaded
with political statements. However I
find them an interesting commentary on the way America conducts business. Rather than speaking eloquently about the
candidate paying for the ad and what edifying, humanitarian and right things
this candidate will do for you the ad is busy bashing the other guy. At the end of the ad we don’t know who paid
for that commercial nor do we know what (if we were American) we are actually
supposed to vote for, only we aren’t supposed to vote for this Joe Blow they
just bashed to smithereens. Last night
one commercial break I counted 7 ads on politics, no commercials on baloney or
deodorant although I would have welcomed a loud beer commercial by the third
commercial.
Mud slinging? Confusing?
Degrading? True, Canadian
politics are not pure by any means, what with robo-calls and all, but so far I’ve
been able to tell who is actually paying for a commercial.
The debates, ah, the debates. All I can say is if anyone thinks Mitt Romney
is an honest man they have wax in their ears.
