The Votes are counted

Stacey Dash

I’m relieved the carnival is over. A lyric from a song comes to mind.

“Storm clouds gathering move along the dusty boulevard

Outside the circus gathering

Moved silently along rain swept boulevards.

The procession moved on the shouting is over

The fabulous freaks are leaving town.

As the moon rose again for the very first time.”

(Mo’Kelly – poetry…not a good start for a political monologue and if you’re “relieved” that it is over…you really have not the stomach for genuine political discourse.  You were only here all of 3 minutes.)

I guess the first thing I want to say is congratulations to us all for participating in this countries 45th democratic election.

(Mo’Kelly  – It is NOT the 45th election.  Maybe she thinks so because President Obama is the “44th” president.  Also, it is “country’s” not “countries.”  Stay in school.)

God Bless President Obama and Vice President Biden and all members of the government elected or reelected. We are truly blessed to have the privilege to have our votes counted and be represented in our government. But that’s about as far as I feel like waxing poetry at the moment. Here are the facts people. I voted for Romney because our economy is in a tailspin.

(Mo’Kelly – Not true, and you list NOT ONE economic indicator which supports such an opinion.)

I drive by block after block of homes that have been foreclosed upon. I see growing numbers of people living in their cars. I know what the unemployment record is in our country and I know what the cost of gasoline is as well. I’m all about exploring a problem and figuring out what the solution is. Everybody can point out problems and they do it all the time on T.V. . That’s how I ended up being a part of this national dialogue on American politics.

(Mo’Kelly – You were NEVER in the national dialogue, you posted a tweet.  Know the difference.)

Rather than talk about real issues superficial ones are glued together for lively debate. Most of the hot topics are meant to push emotional buttons but they didn’t have anything to do with outcomes of any of the last several elections where they were dragged into the public arena for good t.v. Of course womens’ health and gay rights are of critical importance to the long term health of our country. Of course our education system needs an overhaul but these issues are always dragged out for the political arena and then stuffed back into the box afterward. I don’t have time for that. I actually care about what’s really going on. I believe in the dynamic process of democracy.

(Mo’Kelly – Caring and believing are not to be confused with being informed.)

There’s this assumption that people only vote for their own color. I can’t even touch that but we all know it’s true for a bunch of uninformed people. Of course a whole bunch of people only voted for Romney/Ryan because they’re the white ticket. Those voters are reactionary and prejudiced. The same is true for those that voted for Obama/Biden on grounds that Obama is black.

(Mo’Kelly – Not exactly, context is key.  After 43 homogeneous presidents, slavery and Jim Crow, it’s ridiculous to compare the desire to elect President Obama with continuing the tradition of the previous 43.   African-Americans did NOT vote for Lynn Swann when he ran for governor of Pennsylvania, Alan Keyes when he ran for president or Illinois senator.  We did NOT vote for Ken Blackwell when he ran for Ohio governor and did NOT vote for Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson en masse when they ran for president.  The fact that you are not savvy enough to recognize these truths and conveniently omit this history highlight your lack of sophistication on the issue.)

Well guess what? I reject this paradigm. I didn’t cast a vote against Barack Hussein Obama who I happen to consider one of the greatest statesmen the world has ever known. I cast a vote for non-partisanship. A bunch of you may immediately point out that it isn’t Obama’s fault that more bipartisanship hasn’t occurred. It’s an obstructionist GOP that should be held to blame. Right? Well that just doesn’t cut it for me. If the captain of my ship can’t get his crew to work together maybe it’s time for a new captain. It’s that simple for me.

(Mo’Kelly – It’s that “simple” for you because the complexity of true analysis of the issues is clearly escaping you.)

And I’m not a politician. I’m a Mother, an actress, entrepreneur, designer, producer, writer and soon to be director but I’m not a spin doctor or an economist and I’m certainly not a House Nigger.

(Mo’Kelly – You’re not a political commentator either.  But you are still uninformed and swimming in waters way too deep in which to keep from drowning.)

I’m a self-made woman that’s managed to struggle and work hard for more than twenty years to earn a career for myself. You wouldn’t be reading this now if you really believe that I’m a nobody.

(Mo’Kelly – Not true.  Everybody enjoys a good laugh.  And Mo’Kelly always needs new material.)

I am somebody and I do have opinions, a temper and plenty of attitude.

(And none of the aforementioned validates anything you have to say on the issues of politics.)

When I hire someone to represent me and my hard earned investments, I vett them first.

(Mo’Kelly – When exactly did “vett” become part of your lexicon?  Tell the truth.)

If they fail for whatever reason you won’t find me holding the door for them with bag lunch sandwich. I’ll mop the floor with them and let them find their own way to the door.

Mo’Kelly can’t take this anymore.  If you’d like to read the rest, click HERE.

Stacey, I’d gladly look at you all day, everyday.  But I’ve heard enough and really don’t care to hear more.  Hush, you’re ruining the fantasy.
