Exciting Iowa GOP Caucus Enters Home Stretch, And In The Lead Is...

Undecided?

Could be. Undecided has actually scored highest in the seemingly daily (or is it hourly?) polling the corporate propaganda system (aka "the media") keeps breathlessly telling us about. As high as 42%. That's about twice as high as the low 20% range of the "leading" candidates have been getting.

Since we're talking about 100,000 old, white reactionaries here, and the "winner" will end up with 25-35%, say, the "votes" of 25-35  thousand old, white reactionaries in a nation of over 300 million people will be deemed decisive. By the corporate propaganda system, that is. Until the next nail-biting "contest," in New Hampshire.

Remember, all that's happening in Iowa is delegates are being voted for, who are under no obligation to back the candidates the caucus-goers voted for. These delegates in turn choose delegates to the GOP national convention. It's all much ado about nothing.

The whole point of the Iowa-New Hampshire media mania is to erect a barrier to anyone who's not a reactionary getting a nomination from one of the two corporate oligarchic parties.

We have seven deformed Republican dwarfs, with a history of twisted, vicious statements and policies which the corporate media refuses to report, instead hiding that dirty reality under the word "conservative," which is taken to be a good thing, thus the more "conservative" (extremely reactionary) the better.

"Liberal" of course is disreputable these days. Thus have the elites successfully returned the U.S. to the ideological condition of the 1950s, a time of hegemony by the most rabid reactionary mentality.

The only candidate whose record has actually been reported on by "the media" is Ron Paul's. Because Ron Paul is off the ranch when it comes to the Imperialist agenda. So the media has focused on the racism and anti-Semitism (yet without using those words!) of his erstwhile newsletters. They are afraid to highlight the things they really find objectionable, precisely because those are the things that might attract more people to him. (Personally I think it's insane to propose abolishing the U.S.' central bank, the Fed. Also Paul isn't so Libertarian that he supports women's right to control their own bodies- he's anti-abortion.)
