How to Rig an Election For Fun and Profit
Patrick Paulsen a stand up comedian in the President Richard Nixon era, about the middle 1970s said, unlike Nixon that "he is a crook".
This is the basis of how to genuinely rig an election in your favor, I understand.
Be honest and forthright in that way, and you will have something unique that not any other politician will have.
You will have reality.
Everybody campaigns on how good a job they will do, every politician campaigns on how truthful and clean they are.
But, why not tell it like it is down and dirty to rig an election in your favor? What can you lose and you have an honest and genuinely clean reputation to win for really being honest.
But, of course, a politician of that sort is and honest politician, which could be considered an oxymoron or a dichotomy of sorts, because the chief commandment of politics seems to be to a normal politician: "Somehow, I shall get away with it, and I shall not get caught and I will look good doing it.
" So, that ultimate and transparent honesty about it all without selling out is the key to rigging an election for fun, profit and real winning.
After all, who really wants to lose and be bad doing it? Nobody does, really.
An unusual politician is too honest and never gets elected, because of their characteristics of honesty why do you think Jimmy Carter never got a second term, and Howard Dean never got a term after the "I am excited to be traveling to the next state, yeah!" debacle.
Sure, I could mention many more examples of honesty costing people elections, but those two are big ones that are too obvious.
So, one of my favorite small ones now: A good friend of mine named Bruce Herschensohn, he was a television commentator that tried very well, and in what was in my opinion a great and honest campaign to become a Senator from the State of California running on the issues instead of marketing himself "right", in what is right at this writing infamously the Senate seat of Barbara Boxer.
But what happened there, honest running got him, while Barbara Boxer whiplashed him with a superior marketing strategy and campaign tugging at the emotional strings of the people instead of being honest or whatever.
My Dad used to say: "All you have got to do is sell out right and the rest is history, boy, in this.
" Well, he used an expletive at the end of the word this, and it was a little more idiom filled, but, you get the point.
So, I will end with my own version of that quote: All you have got to do is sell out right and the rest is history in this civilization.
