McCrabby concedes presidential contest


McCrabby has lost; it's apparent now that our 2012 campaign did not resonate with voters as we had hoped.  Our primary platform issues of jobs for everyone, free peanuts in all restaurants, and abolishing the profession of law did not gain favor with enough voters, or was just too inventive and creative to gain a foothold with the electorate.  We were ahead of our time.

So, with much regret, McCrabby concedes this presidential contest to

_____________________________________________(you can fill in the blank).. 

But, be aware that McCrabby will be back.  It was an interesting campaign, and a lot was learned.  Although it's difficult to raise the necessary funds when one is not affiliated with either of the two major parties.

McCrabby plans to have his own party, Tuesday night after the polls close.

In 2016, McCrabby will have a much better grasp on the process, and he'll know that honesty has no place in politics.  Sound bites and photo ops are much more important than substance and facts, and a left-leaning politician better lean waaay-left, and a right-leaning politician needs to lean faaar-right.  There is no place for moderation, or bi-partisanship, in politics. 

That way, politicians (most of whom are lawyers already) can continue to blame the opposing side, to vote themselves unwarranted raises and unparallelled perks, and to push pork projects that make them look good to their small constituency, while plunging the nation deeper into a hole of debt that it seems destined to never recover from.


McCrabby got less than 0.00000000000000000107 % 
of all PAC money
McCrabby now knows that Super PACS, which no one says they want, but everyone takes money from, buy favors and stall progress. He's seen how special interests initiate ballot proposals and then distort all truths to reap lucrative effects to changes in the law, or even to our state constitutions. He's seen how a minor slip of the tongue or a well-planned condescending joke in a debate can swing 10 per cent of the vote.

McCrabby became dismayed at how many people don't seem to understand the difference between the debt and the deficit, and that "reducing the deficit," which is promised but rarely accomplished, continues to increase the debt.  Those people are electing our leaders.

McCrabby is tired.  The campaign has taken a lot out of him, and now, with this concession, he can rest, get refreshed, and start early on 2016.  If you want to work with McCrabby on his 2016 push for the presidency, please contact him at (McCrabby) and let him know.  The fire will be back and the passion will be renewed.  We'll need a good slogan (any ideas??).  Maybe it'll be "the fire is back."

Thank you to those who have supported McCrabby (100,000 readers now - Wow!!!  Thank you).  And, good luck and all the best to you, and all of us, after this election.
