The Capitol Hills: Featuring Barack Obama, John McCain, Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, Michelle Obama, Cindy McCain and guest starring George W. Bush as Elroy

No matter who wins, we lose.

How can anyone in the civilized world still think that we really have any say in the power structure. You really think that those in control of society would leave us to decide independently who will become their boss? I highly doubt it.

Instead we get the charade, performed by a colorful cast of polarizing figures meant to move us into one camp or the other. The false drama of these campaigns has never shown through more clearly than this time around. Players agenda’s are thinly veiled attempts to rile up the masses and draw adoration and support. Oh and most importantly cash. These players put on one hell of a show, but the boom stick is showing on the top of the screen this year. We can see the strings that run from puppet to marketing team. We are being sold leaders the same way we are sold happy meals.

When you really break down these candidates and their plans, what are the differences? Aside from “personal agendas” they are cut from the same cloth. They are people who enjoy the thrill of a cheering crowd, the limelight, the attention. They are rockstars with a talent for speech…well some of them. So do you really think that these folks hate each other as much as they let on? Or do they kick back with a beer and cigar every night and text each other back and forth about how much fun they are having?

Jesse Ventura, an ex Governor himself made the comparison, politics are like pro-wrestling; enemies in the ring, best friends in the locker room.

It’s all drama, scripted and intriguing, only they don’t admit it’s fake. Just like your girlfriend won’t admit to herself that Lauren and Heidi have coffee and cigarettes in between takes.

Enjoy the next episode of The Capitol Hills.
