The Republican Field in 2012

There ain't one of them candidates of either Party that is worth a warm bucket of spit. Perhaps we should embark on building the perfect candidate, by taking the best features of each one and incorporating them into one. The point here is that there never has been a flawless, perfect candidate from Washington to BO as each is a human being. We are simply going to have to make do with warts, limitations and all. Maybe the man we choose as a nation will rise to the occasion as some thought BO WAS going to be able to do.

Or just maybe the man we choose will match the times where the best and brightest have all run away. Perhaps the dictates of the Arc Of History will give us the man we deserve, one that is the embodiment of the political and economic system that we have built. Flawed men with feet of clay. Here one is reminded of the last scene in the movie "The Fall Of The Roman Empire" where the various men of power were bidding for the position of being Emperor.

One thing is certain, and that is that this discussion about this Presidential election cycle was as myopic as the rest. For they have failed to see the Arc Of History where we have embarked upon a new post 2008 era where the old power structures are giving way and a new paradigm is being formed. Here one has to be aware of the fact that power abhors a vacume and various combinations of new and old factions are going to be vying for power to fill that vacume. If one looks beyond the American domestic scene we can see that the same fragmentation and attending chaos is on the increase as the status quo of American political and economic hegemony is waning in power. From Europe, to the Arab Spring in the Middle East, Iran, Pakistan/India, China, South and Central America we can see that the winds of change are blowing on a global basis.
