The Epitome of Sleaze & Corruption


The Republican Party primary run-off for the federal Senate in Mississippi has just taken place.  And the voters have made the decision.  The question is, which voters.

The State of Mississippi allows cross-voting in their primaries, that is, registered Democrat voters can vote in the Republican primaries and vice versa.  I'm not sure precisely why that is.  But I know what the outcome can be.  Which is what has just taken place there:

Democrat voters - brought, and bought, out in droves by the establishment Republican Party honchos (in the state; and their national buddies) - have just decided who their Republican opponent in the general election will be.

This is called voter disenfranchisement.

The Republican voters in a state should have the right to decide who their candidates will be.  The same with the Democrat voters.

Not the opposition party.

I am thoroughly disgusted.  Not just with this glaring example of sleaze.  But with the voting process in America in general.

It has descended to the depths of corruption; of being simply a charade, a pretense of the real thing.

I for one will have nothing to do with it; until, apparently, things get so bad -

even worse than they already are; if that is at all possible -

that they have only one way to go, in order to get better.

To get real.


I am aware that there are Americans who are thinking that I need to 'get real' - that this is just the way things are,  and I, and other 'purists' like me, should learn to live with it.

Well, apparently I have news for them.

This is NOT how 'things just are'.

Not in a creation where life has meaning, beyond just in and for itself only.

The sort of Creation that we live and move and have our being in.

Which has horizons further, much further than many souls have been seduced into thinking about it.

Which we are about to discover, in point of fact.

And in the meantime, You, Realist, and your charade of a voting process, can go to hell.

Whoops.

You're already there.

P.S. I read that they are allowed to do this if they are going to vote for that candidate as well in the general election.
     Yeah.  Right.  And somebody is going to check on all this??
     Yeah.  Right.
     And in any event: It is still sleaze; depriving the Party voters of their true choice.
     Get thee behind me, Satan.
     And join your legions.  You are heading for a nasty Fall.
     As the rest of us go Up, a vibratory step.  On the spiral stairway to the heavens.
     With you.
     Or without you.
     Your choice.
     But I encourage you:
     Make it a wise one.
     Not like ones that you have made heretofore.
     That will lead you to the dark night of despair.
     For decisions made, and actions engaged in.
     And regretted later.


P.P.S. 'My pastor made me do it.'
      Your pastor is going to be put out to pasture.
      And if you were justifying your sleazy action by thinking of past wrongs committed on your people by Whitey:
      Two wrongs don't make a right.
      Got it now?
