Cherry picking

Political marketing through only the best as only best

·        Cheery picking means picking only the best; however only the best is different from only best. When one picks from all available objects only the best, there can be second best or the better but different best. He, no doubts, picks only the best but it is not the only best thing available.   Political marketing consultant carefully sorts through material (debates, articles, speeches) looking for hidden value so to quote only those points which are compatible with his own arguments. He picks only the best and creates an impression that the best he has picked is the only best or that as he picks only the best so it is the only best.              

 Political marketing through political sociology

·        Political marketing consultant uses the major theoretical frameworks of political sociologist such as pluralism, elite or managerial theory, class analysis overlapping with Marxist analysis to prove that social inequality and trends outside the formal institutions of political power influence socio-political formation of the modern state and determine Who rule, rendering elections superfluous.

Political marketing consultant applies the finding of research of political sociologist in constructing material that justifies non-democratic government or ruler who as it is claimed is dedicated to change major social trends and change the way social forces work together to affect politics because as long as it is not done election is no more than a contest among competing interest groups.          

Political marketing through Analogy 

·        Political marketing consultant knows that analogies are neither true nor false; instead they come in degree from near identity to extreme dissimilarity. No analogy is perfect, he understands, otherwise there would not be two analogous objects, but only one, and the relation would be one of identity not analogy. Hw capitalizes on ‘some difference’ or ‘some similarity’ between analogs for two purpose:

1)               There is always some difference between any two persons, no matter how similar. Some difference is extended to a point that two appears not analogs or analogous persons.

2)               There is always some similarity between any two persons, no matter how different. Some similarity is extended to a point that relations of two appear one of analogy.
