I’m not here to convince you of anything…  Even as everyone else does their campaigning to try to “win you, over”. I don’t want to manipulate you, the voter, and change your mind. I just want to know, and to help for you to really know if I’m what you want or not. I’d rather just give you the chance to find out for yourself if I’m what you want now, rather than talking you into it. How am I going to do that? I’ve always felt that the best way to know if someone wants something, is by giving something they want and then taking it away. Don’t believe me?

Just for fun, tell your kid (or younger sibling or neice) you’re going to Disney World… Then after they get all excited, tell them they’re not invited.  Then if they look sad, ask them if they “really, really want to go”. When they start to beg, you will really know they do… But just in case you’re not convinced that they really really want to go, take them to an old burnt down warehouse, and say “Oh no! Look, Susie… Disney World burnt down!”. If they are happy, then they hated Disney World, (or are just pyros), but if they cry, you know they want to go, so you can tell them the next morning that you found “a new disney world”, and you can take them to the real one… Or you can just sit there like an evil asshat and laugh maniacally while they cry…

I have decided whether I’m going to give you bunch of Suzies’s the “Disney World” you so desperately crave or not prior to the election…. It’s just a secret for now. It seems it wasn’t until I held out, that I started to really realize that people noticed me. Positive or negative, I rather like the posts about me…

And their have been a few comments here and there as well.

I’m not a politician! So if you want to vote for someone that can talk their way out of a situation, that can distort the facts and convince other people, that can lie and fill themselves with deceit, to get your vote… If you want Lawyers that are married to Lawyers, that would sell out their country for money and votes, and their two professions are Lawyer and politician, which equips them with the knowledge needed to know how to help people get away with murder and felonies… Then there’s two democrats you can vote for that would be more than happy to raise taxes on corperations so we can finally go from 2 to 1 and surpass Japan as the country that is the most taxed corperately, thus causing even more of the rich to flee to China, and as a result of less people investing in the US and more taxes and regulation, the price of food can go way up, as well as the price of oil, and the price of everything, including doing business and trying to make money.  Those 2 liberals will do just fine (oh shit bashed liberals, I’m going to lose half the votes)

Or there’s a republican to vote for if you’re looking for someone that wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years, whether it’s a war or just to secure their borders through our tax dollars, while we already have 600,000 troops scattered across 130+ countries of this world, while our own borders remain unsecure, that can spend trillions of dollars a year on the war, while we already have $1000 a month of pension and social security for each of 65 million baby boomers that should retire this year alone going out the door (that’s 65 billion a month or 780 billion a year) so there will be no more remaining for young people, yet we will still be spending trillions overseas  to have a global millitary presence while our own country is more vulnerable… Can’t afford it financially? Just print more money causing hyper inflation, and send 100,000 more troops as we move onto Iran. (oh shit, bashed conservatives, I”m going to lose the other half of the votes)

You see, if you want a politician, you have the presidential election for that, and you have several asshats to vote for. Am I concerned about bashing both liberals and democrats? No, the reason I can mention politicians is because this isn’t about politics, it’s about making money (oh shit, I sound like Jim Cramer… I just lost the rest of your votes!)

In case it isn’t bitterly obvious by the above, I care not about trying to convince you that you want to vote for me.  You already know what you want.  And you know what you don’t want.

As I see others campaigning, I must point out, that if you want to be manipulated and convinced on who to vote for, then you don’t want to vote for me… Even if you feel that overwhelming compulsion to do so. Even if you feel The Aesop warm beam of light come down (Jake’s link) as the bells ring and the angels sing “hallelujia! Rejoice for Hattery shall be the tabbed one!”, I don’t want you to vote for me on a whim. You see, people that vote for me, will do so, not because of emotional manipulation of a resulted campaign, or because I made them feel good by” blowing them hard or flashing them in the light”(Aesop style!), but rather, people will vote for me because I provide timeless, valuable content, that they desperately crave, and content that they can’t live without.

Unlike everyone else, I don’t want your vote… if feel inclined to do so and want to give it to me on election day for reasons other than the fact that you’re in a trance and your ’subconscious’ is ‘programed’ to vote for me now, or reasons other than the emotional response resulting from ’brilliant’ campaigning.  If you feel so inclined to vote for me, it shall be because you need my posts, you love my posts.

Don’t get me wrong, I do want your vote. I want to be more motivated to post the best articles I can, and rather than keeping them lengthy, I want to be motivated to take the extra time to edit it and break it down into a group of focused, multi part articles, and post multiple times on a regular basis. But I don’t want your vote because I put up some picture of an attractive lady.  I only want your vote if the thought of reading my comments along side Rajin Cajun, Danny, Woodshedder, Adam, and above all else, The Fly entrigues, interests and excites you. 

I could make some campaign about “change” and how I’m an unknown… I’m the wildcard… I’m the one that has been posting long enough to create a pressence, but not to be an unknown.  But let’s cut through all the bullcrap campaigning, and lobbying to get your votes. If you don’t have interest in voting for me, you probably never will. However, if you ever are going to vote for me… you’re going to need the emotional desire of wanting to see me as a tab blogger, which leads to excitement and the action and the process of actually voting for me.

Lets face it, if you don’t have interest in seeing me in a tabbed blog, you won’t vote for me anyway, and campaigning won’t help, or if you think about it and realize that now you do have an interest, then the process of voting for me has already begun.

And it has… for it is the destiny of IBC

I’m Hattery… and I approve of pot at zero…

You are a great man.
