DGB Editorial Comments on: McCain and Palin vs. Obama and Biden

Last week I heard Joe Biden at his best -- and at his worst -- on the same day.
'Passionate, Down-to-Earth' Joe in one speech. 'Foot in His Mouth' Joe in the next speech. Today I heard 'Passionate, Down-to-Earth Joe' back at his best again. 'Two out of three ain't Bad'. (But -- please, Joe, no more 'foot in mouth' speeches, please, before the election...)

I heard Sarah Palin today also. Sarah Palin still can't seem to distinguish between:

1. 'Narcissistic, Unethical, Top-Heavy, Master-Slave' Capitalism;
2. 'Dialectic-Democratic, Ethical, Win-Win, Top and Bottom Solid' Capitalism;
3. Socialism.

Sarah Palin continues to effectively call Obama a 'socialist' -- instead of an 'Ethical Capitalist' who is trying to 'deconstruct' (dismantle) Top-Heavy, Unethical Capitalism in favor of a more Ethical, Win-Win, Bottom Solid, populist Capitalism where everybody shares a piece of The American Pie more fairly.

That is not 'socialism', Governor Palin. That is ethical, humanistic-existential Capitalism.

Either:

1. Governor Palin, does not have the intellect to make this important distinction -- but I think she does (you don't become Governor today without having an intellect and an ability to rhetorically carry yourself;

2. Or she is trying to utilize 'Republican Sophism' (meaning 'smoke and mirrors' -- Obama today used the words 'slash and burn' divisive tactics) to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people -- or to pit them against each other -- in true George Bush-John McCain-Sarah Palin Exploitive Republican fashion.

Neither possibility makes Sarah Palin look good.

She just keeps churning out the same old, same old, Republican Capitalist stereotypes.

The ones that keep making the richest in America richer,

While impoverishing, manipulating, and exploiting the rest of America.

Sarah Palin and John McCain support Narcissistic, Unethical, Top-Heavy Capitalism at its worst -- the type that leaves the rest of America behind.

(Even as in a speech today I heard Mcain trying to preach 'populitst Capitalism' -- quite frankly, I don't believe him. He has been too 'all over the map' to gain my trust and respect now.

Obama and Biden support Ethical, Bottom-Solid, Populist Capitalism at its best.

And that is not Socialism.

And even if Obama's (and Hillary Clinton's) trumpeted 'Subsidized, and/or eventual Universal Health Plan' does include some elements of 'humanistic-socialism' in it,

That is still a lot better than Republican Unilateral, Imperialist, Foreign Relations,

And the crash of Narcissistic, Unethical, Top-Heavy Capitalism...

On Wall Street...

With CEOs packing up their multi-million dollar suitcases,

And escaping out the back door.

Meanwhile, Obama sounds as if he is 'on top of his game again' -- and I don't mean that in any negative sense. What is it -- 100,000 people -- that he just drew to his last rally.

Obama is back to being confident again, expounding his vision, brushing off negative Republican stereotypes or counter-arguing them, that a month ago seemed to shake him off his game.

I think we are looking at the next President of The United States.

And I believe that is a good thing.

America == and the world == needs some new Democratic unity and integrationism.

Not 4 more years of Republican divisionism, traumacy -- and pain.
