Stand right up and get down and dirty
As a public service of this page in presenting fair and balanced political coverage, your humble columnist reminds readers that his is the only right-leaning commentary here versus two by those of the Democratic persuasion.
Thus, in these latter days as the presidential election becomes a matter of throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the opposition, I feel it’s my civic duty to right the balance, to stand up now for all that’s right and good and get down and dirty.
Throw the bums out: That’s the essence of the Obama campaign. Of course, he refers only to the White House, which has a substantially better reputation than the Democrat-controlled Congress. So, let us throw all those bums out. And vote for reform, as epitomized by John McCain and Sarah Palin. So there.
Need I mention that they are the only nonlawyers in the GOP-Dem presidential contest? ‘Nuff said. If not, consider that McCain has led the fight for victory in Iraq, a war America is now clearly winning. And Palin has governed Alaska with a maverick’s touch against the entrenched politicians.
Critics charge that McCain has been for Bush 90 percent of the time. Well, Obama has voted with his fellow corrupt Democrat senators 97 percent of the time. That’s not leadership, it’s tagging along. As Mark Twain once observed, “...there is no distinctly native American criminal class, except Congress.”
To wit: "The Democratic-controlled Congress, acknowledging that it isn't equipped to lead the way to a solution for the financial crisis and can't agree on a path to follow, is likely to just get out of the way,"-- Bloomberg reports. Precisely.
Energy has been a major concern, but our do-nothing Congress has done nothing to let us drill for oil and relieve the price pressure at the gas pump. Window-dressing legislation may advance. However, “The Democrats' strategy [on drilling won’t] clear away the thicket of regulations and litigation...They will then count on their allies in the plaintiffs' bar to tie up any oil production for years,...”--Powerline blog
Now let’s get political, and so to the Internet.....
* Seen on a sign in Louisiana: A taxpayer voting for Barack Obama is like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders
* And there’s this public service announcement:
The person elected will be the president of all Americans. To show our solidarity, let's all get together and show each other our support for the candidate of our choice.
If you support the policies and character of John McCain, please drive with your he adlights on during the day. If you support Obama, please drive with your headlights off at night. Thank you for your participation in this patriotic endeavor.
But enough of such high-minded stuff. Let’s get to the red meat. I’m talking about those sizzling letters to the editor, an October custom that newspapers love in a presidential election. So, let me provide my fellow Americans a ready-made letter to send to the news outlets of your choice. Free. I’ll be much obliged.
Dear Editor:
I bet you won’t print this letter. I know why. That Obamer fellow has paid you off. You won’t say anything bad about him, or mention his full name or his color.
Big deal. Anyone can see for hisself. And just look at his wife. Shoot. That is plain as day if you have seen them on TV, provided it’s a color TV.
Nobody no more watches a black and white TV anyhow. Uh, oh. Some politically correct big shot is going to fine my butt for writing that. Maybe I should of called that old TV an “African-American and white” set.
Get the joke? Of course not, since you Liberals got no sense of humor at all.
Regardless, we real Americans have gotta swallow hard. Because it sure looks like them big-city voters want to throw the rascals out. Too bad it’s the only way Washington will change, and clean up the home mortgage mes s and silence those Wall Street crybabies.
Trouble is, no way can they all get sent home. But just look at the presidential race. You see, three of the four major party candidates are already senators and to blame for most of the trouble.
What to do? Maybe we could write in for president the name of the only one who doesn’t know beans about Beltway stuff, but who can shoot straight. She‘s no lawyer, either.
I know you won’t print this. It’s proof that in today’s world, nobody no more can just talk plain out loud. Too bad lots of us hard working Americans are never allowed the freedom of the press. All because tiptoeing sissies like you are scared of us average voters and readers of your MILK TOAST paper.
Your loyal reader and friend,
