'Objectivism' and the Republicans.

One would do well during this election not to try to figure out 'Objectivism,' but to read an essay or two on it before casting one's vote in Novemeber (election day is less than 90 days away, mind you.)  That supporters have more or less characterised Mr. Ryan, the Republican Party candidate for American vice - president, as a kind of objectivist, and the Democrats might in turn portray him as insincere, even a clown, will make for a good race indeed.

While I have never really read about objectivism, nor anything dogmatic on the subject, it does appear the Republican approach has some appeal before the Democratic Party's approach of providing wishful comments about the international business climate, the polity and gridlock in Washington, D.C. due to overall budget and other glaring problems and issues, even pep - talking voters over the commmercial airwaves while mentioning "built to last," and other such fanciful characterisations, it does seem that despite a deficit in the polls, the Republicans might give the liberal American party (Democrats) a run for their moneys and maybe for other things by election day.  Any disparity from the sameness of the candidates and their persuasiveness to many people based upon likes and dislikes, even personal, non - political ones, will have to do with the politics of "life as a process" as emphasised by Democrats here that have us missing the boat and a dollar short in many cases right now, and the "let's get off our duffs" ideas of the Republicans.

Whereas the Democrats, through the Obama / Biden ticket have a kind of will - to - power that is palpable in their silky, urbane public language, the Republicans are rolling up their sleeves in places like Wisconsin and Virginia.  People do know the Democrats are the party that relies on Huxley - type ideas, including that of appealing to town and even town outside U.S. borders in all its, again urbane citizenry, bustling populace and grit that is so appealing through the commercial media.  The Republicans right now appear to be relying less on the cultural and financial heat of the megalopolis and instead, while not abandoning urbanity for the sake of the provinces, appeal to Americans who want to get things done on their way to restoring their fortunes, maybe quietly at the exclusion of the kind of bombast that is featured in political discussion of late to draw attention to meeting even very small political and administrative / economic goals.

That Mitt Romney has enlisted the efforts of Paul Ryan from Wisconsin on his hopeful electoral journey and given at this time the attitude of the Republicans in acknowledging deficitary, defense, trade, currency valuation, and other political / economic issues including just abortion and taxes, and other public policy difficulties subject to the American agenda, and the response by the media and the public so far does show America needs a chief executive who might just speak in a more grounded way about issues and his own political agenda than in the compliments, platitudes and blandishments that have characterised the present administration.
