Dems run real candidates. GOP runs puppets

After the speeches last night, it is clear: GOP is about appearances and marketing. They do not get it that Americans know we need real leaders.

Have we had a real president of the GOP persuasion since Nixon? OK, 41 was an attempt and it failed. They tried to slip in one of their real movers & shakers under Reagan's shadow. They backed off fast after THAT debacle.

They have only pretty faces as front men. They do not WANT real leadership because they like the leaders who are really too ideologically ugly to run for office*.

* see cheney, Lay, Forbes, Perle, and, the big bad Wolfowitz...

REAL bosses of the GOP try to figure out what America is 'buying' any given election cycle then they look for some unfortunate schmuck who appears to fill the bill. The one real criteria the GOP power brokers seem to have is this: Must be compliant. Complacent helps. But taking orders is Job 1.

GOP think tank view of selecting 'leaders':

McCain: maybe America will buy a decorated, disabled Vet. Hey, what could be more jingoistic-ly patriotic?

Palin: Hey, Hillary did pretty well in the DEM primaries. Maybe America is in the mood to buy female!

OK, OK... we get it. America wants some color. Mr. Steele, would you step up to the plate as RNC puppet de jour?

Obama makes for brilliant leadership. We need to emulate him = Paging Mr. Jindal. Paging Mr. Jindal.

Pretty puppets, all in a row. That is the GOP and it has its roots in the corporatist running things. They think APPEARANCE is all that matters. Marketability. Same bozos who are running the corporations into the ground, despite the playing field they tilted their own way, are the ones running the GOP. No ideas, lots of schemes.

* Side note: Did you know if you type Wolfowitz and hit spell check, you get "Halfwits" as the first correction suggestion? Sweet!
