Last Night's GOP Debate Was Like Bad 1950's-Style Science-Fiction
Posted: 01/27/2012 1:00 am

The GOP Presidential candidates continue to play their parts in an implausible story of a world that could never exist, acting out nonexistent conflicts while delivering dialog that insults the intelligence. That's not because they're stupid. It's because they think you are.

It's like watching a low budget science-fiction movie from the fifties: Dr. Strange vs. The Vulture in the Caverns of the Moon. It's badly executed, even by the low standards of its genre, complete with cheap sets, bad special effects and wooden acting.

They're counting on their audience to provide that state of mind which literature professors call "the willing suspension of disbelief."

Three of the candidates are selling an nearly identical story of hardy earth people who are only able to save their planet once they've been freed from taxes and regulations.The fourth, Ron Paul, is offering a different script, a 10,000 Years BC scenario of unparalleled economic savagery.

1. Would be Presidents John Henry Eden of "Fallout 3" fame and his message of reality.

For those people not familiar, "Fallout 3" is a game based on a hybrid 1950s technology and vision of the future after nuclear war, remnants of humanity still survive in isolated pockets.

Over the dominant radio station of only a couple left standing, you can hear different monologues from President Eden also serving as Disc Jockey alternating his propaganda with patriotic music, while you make your way through a devastated Washington D.C. just trying to survive a post-apocalyptic environment.

This is just one of his monologues.

Thanks for the thread, Judi Lynn.
