You know there seems to be an awful lot of pop psychology happening on the right lately. It's almost as if everyone from Rush Limbaugh to Ann Coulter finally dug up that 1970's sitcom DVD collection that got a couple of Christmas's ago and started to watch them.
Reverse psychology was such a mainstay of the Dr. Phil's of the 1970's, you know Dr. Joyce Brothers, Dr. Spock (not the Vulcan, but the real doctor), and Dr. J. Actually, I am not sure about the last one. I remember there was something about Dr. J and lots and lots of sexual exploration. Oh, wait. I'm thinking of Wilt Chamberlain. You know, Blanca was born 15 years too late. I could have tapped me some of that. But I digress.
All the pundits on the right from Sean Hannity to Michael Savage are pushing Mitt Romney over the imminently more electable John McCain. Now I know, if you have read my blog, you know that I despise John McCain.
Oh, really?
Or could it be that I am taking part in the vast right wing conspiracy of reverse psychology? Well, I'll never tell.
In order to understand reverse psychology, you have to understand games of skill, like chess, poker, or dwarf tossing. You see in order to force your opponent to pick B you make him believe you want him to choose A. He will then pick B just to piss you off. You get what you want, and your opponent feels all superior until he figures out how you screwed him over. Genius.
We all know John McCain is loved by Democrats and Independents alike. Just like Joe Lieberman. Show me one Democrat who doesn't love Holy Joe. Times up. Put down the pencil. Damn it, I'm not kidding.
We know Mittens can't possibly win. The cult thing, the magic underpants, for Christ's sake, "Big Love!" I mean who do you think made sure "Big Love" was on the roster at HBO in 2008? Come on, you have to give the vast right wing some credit. I mean we do have Rupert Murdoch, don't we?
And we know that Huckabee is too religious for anyone's taste. I mean I love me so Huckster like nobody's business. In fact, I would go down on the Huckster tonight if he asked me. Come on, Hucky, give Blanca a call. She's horny and hasn't had any since the first Bush administration.
So we are pushing McCain. We are selling McCain by telling everyone we can't stand him. If you think we are going to sit at home or vote for Hillary instead of McCain, all you Independents and Democrats in the open primaries will hand him to us on a silver platter. Genius.
And all those nasty things being said about Barack Obama. That is just part of the game.
According to the
National Journal, a fine publication I use to pick up my dog's shit every morning, Barack Obama is the
most liberal senator of 2007. Now maybe it's just me, but I would think the
openly Socialist Bernie Sanders would rank higher. And maybe it's just a coincidence that same esteemed literary journal found
John Kerry the most liberal senator of 2003. Things that make you go Hmmm.
And then there is that little screed in that most fair and balanced publication,
The Washington Times. It seems Mr. Obama wants to decriminalize marijuana. My, how that just made you not want to vote for him, didn't it. Lucky for you, you didn't bother to take the fifteen seconds required to search for what it really means on the
Internets. I mean lucky for us, your friendly Republican Party. It's fun to play with words. It's so Orwellian. I mean so Frank Luntz.
But my favorite subterfuge of this political season is my gal pal, Ann Coulter. She says she will support Hillary if John McCain wins. What does this do? Well, it gets all of your Independents and Democrats to support either John McCain or Hillary in your primary, thinking we will get a Democrat in the White House in 2008. My, you really are stupid, aren't you. Then again, I guess that is why "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader" is such a hit on Fox.
Reverse psychology is fun. We get what we want, and you get screwed. I'm looking forward to four more years of the same old same old. It has made Blanca a very rich girl. A very rich and very lonely girl. Come on Huckster, call me!
