The Only Way To Win
It is officially the last full week before election 2006.
That means every sports metaphor you can imagine applies to
The NEXT American Revolution!
Pick an activity. You know what I mean. Now put yourself in the star player’s role. The outcome of this game depends entirely on you. Can you feel the tension in the air?
Some folks think that Republicans, who fear losing “control? of the legislative branch of our government, are generating tension. Others attribute the tension to the Democrats, who don’t want to blow the best chance they’ve had in 12 years to win that “control? back.
I say poppycock!
Stuff and Nonsense!
The fact is, Democratic and Republican VOTERS–DON’T CONTROL ANYTHING. Even the D & R Senators and Representatives don’t control much. Okay, maybe they help determine what’s being served for dinner in the banquet hall of our ship of state.
But the real power? Ah, that’s in the hands of a relatively small number of people (out of 300,000,000), not all of who are American citizens, and frankly, they don’t care all that much which side wins. They’ll roll with the punches and make the best of it for themselves regardless of the outcome. The only thing the real movers and shakers (down?) fear is the election of a significant number of new people as yet untainted by their influential brushes.
Study your ballots. Learn what you can about the NON-Republicans and NON-Democrats, and select the ones you deem best.
Voting for Republicans AND/OR Democrats right now is like the crux of the movie, “War Games.? The only way to win the game is NOT TO PLAY. Don’t play their game this year. Create some real tension. Vote to change the rules!
