Madame Ann Knows All And Sees All

Sometimes I even surprise myself. In March of 2003 I wrote a tongue-in-cheek analysis titled “The IT Factor” of the 9 Democratic Presidential hopefuls based on their desirability as potential dates and ended up predicting that Kerry would win the nomination and Edwards would be his running mate.
Allow me to quote from my own article: “So let’s take a look at these 9 candidates, who are so shallow and unburdened by principle that they are willing to lie their way into the White House. None of them, by their very party affiliation, care a feather or a fig for America or our democratic ideals/republican form of government. They are all agenda driven by left-leaning political philosophies, which are ultimately hollow and devoid of meaning. As such, they believe in nothing but their own egos and self-aggrandizement. Anyone who votes for them does so because they mirror the same bankruptcy of thought as found and defined by the left. That means we’re looking at surfaces only when it comes to Democratic Presidential hopefuls.
So what floats the boat for all those sucker, oops, soccer moms and Alan Alda types? I hate to say it but if my ultra-liberal friends are any indication, it’s the “IT” Factor. I’m not referring to Information Technology either so sorry, Al Gore. I’m talking about “IT” as in Sex Appeal; as in looking good on the TV, as in being that virile, stud-muffin Kennedy type as exemplified by, who else, JFK and Mr. “Put some ice on that” Bill Clinton.
Without further to do I present the 9 and their “IT” Factor ratings with 1 being the lowest as in “I’m washing my hair that evening” and 10 being the highest as in “Take me, I’m yours”.”
I then went on to poke gentle fun at the also-rans Carol Moseley Braun, Howard Dean, Dick Gephardt, Bob Graham, Dennis J. Kucinich, the Reverend Al Sharpton, and Joe Lieberman. However, it was what I said about John Kerry and John Edwards that proves just how accurate I was: “Senator John Edwards of North Carolina is boyishly charming but lacks a certain dignity when it comes to American foreign policy. Group dates may be fun but not a steady diet of them and you either end up going home alone, or participating in orgies. Edwards gets an “IT” Factor rating of 8.5 and would make a good Democratic Vice Presidential nomination.”
And: “Well, I’ve saved the best for last and that’s Senator John “You want some ketchup with those fries” Kerry of Massachusetts. Kerry has it all: The Kennedyesque good looks, the wet kisses from the news media, the Viet Nam Vet background, and he wraps himself in the US flag every chance he gets. Mark my words: He’ll get the 2004 Democratic nomination. I realized that in March when Vogue ran a glowing article on him complete with Kerry in a wet suit striding up the beach with surfboard tucked artfully under his arm. There was even a publicity picture of a young and dashing Kerry with John Lennon plastered on the Drudge Report’s front page last week. (As my husband said, “It’s amazing what you can do with PhotoShop.”) Kerry’s “IT” Factor rating is a good, solid 10. Pair Edwards up with him as his Vice President and you’ll have a pretty boy ticket to drive the Democrats mad in 2004.”
So there you have it and my predictions were all based on what has become the hallmark of the Liberal mindset of total style over substance. To take the dating analogy further, ask yourself just how honest is anyone when dating? Aren’t we all charm and promises hoping against hope that our dinner date is enjoying our company and not just smiling at us because we have spinach stuck in our teeth? Then, once the new and novel of the relationship segues over into familiarity, we start getting the sexual demands and thinly veiled contempt if there was never any serious intent?
In other words, you make a bad mistake in judging the character you hop into bed with literally or figuratively as in the voting booth and you’re ultimately screwed. As tired as it may sound, you, as an American voter have the obligation to be informed on the issues and candidates when you vote. You have a right to vote and brave men and women died to ensure that you have that right. However, every true right has a corresponding obligation and, baby, you better be informed when you make your choice.
You wouldn’t hit the sack with some tramp/trampette on the first date would you? (If you answered, “Yes”, then shame on you. If you have so little respect for yourself or your partner that you’d risk your mental and physical health on a chance encounter with an unknown then what makes you think that you’re mature enough to vote?)
In the coming weeks we are going to be offered all types of hearts and flowers promises from both presidential candidates but it is up to us to examine their respective records and calibre as men and leaders. Quite frankly, after looking at their actions and beliefs, it is my personal estimation that Kerry will pull America into socialism immediately while Bush will drag us into it eventually.
That’s not much of a choice really but it’s all we’re being offered now. Think of it as having a limited selection of mates in an isolated village and you’ll catch my drift when the intellectual inbreeding of our elected-for-life incumbent ruling elites becomes apparent.
So, now allow me to make a further prediction on the November outcome while both Bush and Kerry are in the courting mode with voters. George W. Bush will win in November in spite of massive Democratic voter fraud. Think of it as karmic payback with cowboy boots on, which, by the way, happen to be experiencing a big comeback in the fashion world.
If you want to know which way the zeitgeist is blowing, look to the catwalk.
