Well, here we go. All of us will be heading to the polls in two short days. The task is easy enough once we get into that quaint, little booth. Vote for Senator McCain or vote for Senator Obama. Seems simple enough, right? Well, while the actual task of voting may be very simple, the impact of that vote you are casting is monsterous in size. Here is what a vote for McCain and a vote for Obama could bring with it.
If you vote for Senator McCain, here is what you are saying.....
I (Insert name here), do not think that taxes should be raised on any American at this time. The economy is horrible, and I do not think that Americans can afford to bring home less of their paycheck, no matter their income. I believe that the war on terror is a just cause. I realize that this war is not about me or about my generation. Instead, the war on terror is about making the world a more just place than it is right now. The war on terror, I hope, will provide a future for generations down the line in which terrorism and genocide are rare instead of the news of the evening. I believe that saying the troops are air raiding innocent villages is unpatriotic and ignorant. I believe that granting more access to our places of employment to labor unions is a dangerous road that we cannot afford to travel. If people want a union to represent their employment, they should be allowed to vote on it, but taking away the right to vote on a union is very undemocratic. I believe that if Joe the roofer (I had to add my own twist) wants a new car, then Joe should have to get a job that pays him enough to buy the car. I do not think that Americans should be given a handout. I work hard for my money and when we redistribute the wealth, you are taking away money from myself, my spouse and my children. As cold as this may sound, I do not go to work for the benefit of the family next door. I go to work so that the next time it rains outside, my family doesn't have to don the raincoats that hang in our closet. I go to work to pay for my roof and I like my roof. It keeps me dry. If Joe gets wet when it rains outside then maybe Joe could go to a public building, complete tasks in that building, and get a piece of paper with his name printed at the top. Joe could then take that piece of paper to a bank, where they will actually give him American dollars that he could spend buying or renting a roof. I believe that Americans should have something to strive for and believe that the people you associate with say a lot about the type of person you are. I believe that unborn fetuses should be protected under law. I do agree that everybody should have a choice when it comes to having a child. You should be able to choose whether or not to have sex. How is that for pro choice? Oh, wait, Americans do have that choice. Never mind. And finally, I believe that if you sit and listen to a preacher who continually uses the phrase GD America, and you do nothing to dispute his use of the phrase, then you are a coward. And Americans do not want a coward runnig the country.
If you vote for Senator Obama, here is what you are telling America.....
I (Insert name here) believe that all Americans should have equal access to all things in life. I believe that a person who works sixty hours a week and a person who works twelve hours a week should be able to afford the same things in life. After all, why should my neighbor get to drive around in a new car when I have to take the bus to my part time job? I believe that big corporations are evil. After all, they have all the money and I think that I deserve some of the money they have made by being genius business people. I believe that the government should be even bigger and that illegal aliens should be given drivers liceneses. After all, if they cannot drive, then how are they going to get to their job? You know, the job that they stole from someone who is in the country legally. I believe that just because somebody says GD America that they probably did not mean it. Those crazy preachers. I believe that the war is unjust and that America should have to get permission from the world community before we invade another country. Just think if we had asked Iraq if we could invade Afghanistan. We could have avioded this entire debacle. Silly President Bush. Duh! I believe that abortion should be legal under all circumstances. I stand by the man who voted no to the law that would make it illegal to refuse medical attention to an infant born as the result of a failed abortion. And last, but not least, I think that Senator Obama didn't really mean it when he said that American troops were air raiding innocent villages, said paying taxes was patriotic, said he would meet with leaders of rogue nations without preconditions, launched his political carrer in the living room of Bill Ayers, said people making 250,000 dollars a year were rich or when he said he did not know that his aunt was in the country illegally. He didn't mean all that stuff did he? Can I have another ballot please?
