One hand or t'other.....

Prevarication vs Equivocation

If I said it, I probably meant it,
unless I was lying,
in which case,
you should have taken it
with a grain of salt.
for..........
I don’t always mean what I say,
and often
don’t say what I mean,
but I try always to be truthful,
except when I lie.
Usually.

I showed this bit of free verse to my friend, Nick. He said that he really liked the way I said things but he wasn’t sure he understood it. I told him that I don’t always understand my verse either but that I wasn't being intentionally obtuse. I guess I could have called it, Politics 101.
I only mention this becuz Cary Heather stated that she couldn’t vote for Obama or McCain, that she didn’t believe either one of them, and that she would probably write in her vote for Jon Stewart.
I don’t think I’ve ever met so many people so disgusted with both the Democrat and Republican Parties that they’re changing their registation to Independent. And, y’know what, I can’t really blame them.
George Bush has to carry a lot of the blame for this prevailing attitude. But then, so does Bill Clinton.
Clinton lied and cheated from his knockabout childhood to the Presidency and beyond. And George Bush was supposed to stand up and put things right.
Europeans call Americans naive and, Boy Howdy, I guess we are.
What it comes down to is that Clinton deceived us and shame on him. Then, we allowed George Bush to lead us down the garden path again and shame, shame on us. And that’s why we’re so pissed at George. ‘Cause we know in our hearts that we let him do it. We’re angry with ourselves and we’re taking it out on Bush.
The Republicans cheated us so we showed ‘em. We kicked the bums out and voted in a bunch of Democrats....who diddled us even more. Congress has a 9% approval rating and rather than running them out of Washington on a rail dressed in tar and feathers, we let them stay and collect their paychecks and connive on ways to take even more of our money.
