New distractions are always welcome: 'Bring em on'

by Leon Fisher, Unknown News

Oct. 16, 2006

I just want to remind those of you who still entertain the fantasy that national elections in America are still legitimate, not to forget to vote on Nov 7th. This, my friends, is going to be a big one.

Taking into consideration that both major political parties are one and the same, let's see how things stack up. The Democratic wing of the Republican Party has a lot to gain, while the
 
Republican wing of the Democratic Party has a lot to lose. The Republican wing of the Democratic Party has been coming under increasing criticism by the Democratic wing of the Republican Party for its support of the unpopular Iraq war which the Democratic wing of the Republican Party has just voted to appropriate billions more dollars to fund its continuation.

Not helping matters for the Republican wing of the Democratic Party is the low approval ratings of twice un-elected President, GW Bush, whose career in Naval Aviation has gone nowhere since his one and only carrier landing in 2003.

Also influencing voters in this coming election is the Foley scandal, the timing of which could not have been better for both wings of the same political party. Like the swift boat controversy of the last Presidential election, the Foley scandal provides a welcome distraction for the candidates who otherwise may be asked embarrassing questions about issues that really matter. God forbid! And the Foley scandal also provides an outlet for voters who have no idea whatsoever of the more complex issues of the economy and foreign policy.

So it appears that the Republican wing of the Democratic party will come out on the bottom this time, giving the Democratic wing of the Republican Party their chance lie to the people, ruin the economy, continue the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and borrow and spend trillions more.

In other words folks, nothing is going to change, except for the worse.

But look at the positive side, you can always tell those of us who did not vote that we have no right to complain. Also, you can rest easy that you did your duty as a good citizen voting for the only political party left in America, the Democraticrepublican Party. God Bless America!
