COME OUT OF THE CLOSET.

Like many of you the Old Geezer has been glued to my seat watching the Presidential debates. Some joker thought it would be funny to smear crazy glue on my diaper so I’m stuck watching candidates blather and make asses out of themselves. The first thing that becomes evident if you have unfortunately tuned into one of the Democratic or Republican debates is that every presidential hopeful is Bi. It’s time they all came out of the closet. The trouble with most bi-sexual mean and women is that they are afraid to confront their sexual confusion so they hide in the closet rather than admit and face the truth honestly and forthrightly. If that doesn't remind you of the presidential candidates -- than you don't like fried chicken on Sunday.

None of the politicians on stage can tell the truth – the simple, unvarnished truth. In answering questions they begin to dodge, slither and prevaricate hoping not to offend someone. Watching these bozos makes me shake like my tongue was caught in the third rail. Those claiming and acting like liberals – aren’t! They are really closeted conservatives trying to pass. Many of the supposed neo-cons are really closeted liberals hoping to appeal to religious, right-wing zealots. The truth is that every one of the presidential hopefuls is as trustworthy and believable as a two-dollar hooker standing on a street corner in Rangoon. They will say and promise anything to get a customer…or voter. Rather than take a position on an issue and stick to it they begin to bob and weave like a bantam weight boxer. They will do anything not to be pinned down.

One of the biggest problems is that all of these ambitious politicos are being run by media consultants. A media consultant is about as trustworthy as a rug salesman. For the right fee they will work for any bum or bumette. Their real job is to hopefully prevent their candidate from making a mistake. All humans make mistakes – take my wife…. please! As a result, the debates have a stage-filled with politicians talking a lot and not saying anything. Elections now are about the lesser of two evils and not about excitedly supporting someone we believe in and hope will solve the country’s problems.

Wouldn’t it be refreshing if all of these nominees came out of the closet, fired their media and public relations experts and just told us the truth -- what they really believe in and will do if they get into office? I think the crazy glue fumes are getting to me because I’m starting to hallucinate.
