I was looking at the St. Petersburg times today, and could see the list of candidates for President in 2008. Some didn't make the list but it matters not because they would fit in nicely with the others. Unfortunately, the word of this century they are so much the same one wonders if they were the first examples of cloning. They even dress the same, except for Hillary and she will wear the appropriate attire if another female decides to run.

It seems funny to me because just recently I saw a piece on the news with our President and Vice President dressed exactly the same. Even the person behind them had the same jacket and trousers. It looked like the Senior citizens Golf Club where all the men and woman are color coordinated into the league of being old.

Back to the 2008 candidates.  Now go down their perspectives and views and you see nothing outstanding. Many of them have the same rhetoric with a slight twist here or there.  But nothing substantial or earth shaking and certainly not far from the Global agenda. They don't even dare mention "Comprehensive Immigration" and the amnesty that they are going to vote for in just a few short months. This will be done regardless of what you feel because they have to get it behind them well before the election so we can focus on something else.

You see, to me, there is no difference in their views and their ideology. They are all wealthy and some got that way after being elected. They are all free traders and they are all for open borders and NAFTA and the whole Global agenda. Think not then do your homework and look at not what they say but their deeds and actions and what they pass. Especially those in the Senate.

Now here is the sad part. Marketing people know that people buy the cover. It matters not what the product is - it is the eye appeal that counts. How do I know? Well when I worked on Wall Street you had to go to a "finishing" school for bankers. The Gray, The Blue and the pale ruled the day. You see people want to think that people who handle your money are successful and those are the signs and symbols of wealth and success.

You see it is the image not the content. Here is a tip for your next job interview, short people should wear really expensive shoes and ties to go with that dark suit. Why, because that gets you halfway there. Ever notice the men's ties on T.V. which says it all. Woman should dress similar with dark to pale dresses.

So it goes with these politicians. It matters not what the substance is because people buy the cover. Of course not everyone but the majority thinks exactly this way. Think not, then ask a marketing person. It is the packaging that counts. Ever hear " It looked good so I bought it."

So that old adage "don't judge a book by its cover" really means nothing to little for many. That's exactly how they make their decisions. It is like a bad marraige, car, or anything else, no though behind the act.

So just listen and look at their substance and you will see what I have espoused for years that there is no difference in the product, just the packaging. Read "How Did We Get Here" and you will have your answer.

So here is my recommendation. Place all their pictures in a circle around a dartboard and have us all vote by throwing a dart. Whoever gets the most darts wins? That will solve two things. One we will have an election that can't be rigged. Two we will get all the darts of anger out of our system.

Then we can all get back to the same exact thing as before the election.
