A list of failures longer than a list of accomplishments...

That certainly would convince me to vote for you. :) In all honesty, either one, would be a better candidate than some I've seen in recent years. Ah, yes. The ultimate dream team. Here's part of my platform: I would embrace the liberal concept of redistribution of wealth and resources to make things fairer across the board. For example, I figure people with small boats and fuel efficient engines don't use or need anywhere near the amount of fuel required for those with big, fuel hogging boats in their respective, mutual enjoyment of boating. Therefore, the people with small boats can afford to pay more for a gallon of fuel because they need so much less of it. A graduated fuel cost/gallon program will be instituted, with cost per gallon decreasing as boat length and fuel burn rates increase. Obviously, blow boaters will pay the highest for fuel. See? I can make just about as much sense as some of our current politicians in office. Well, see - if you were a real politician you would have said that all boaters are wasting gas and diesel and a special tax is needed to compensate for the use of our precious resources. And then insert language in the bill in small print to exclude Mainship owners who have boats only at a certain marina on the Cape. I'm in favor of fuel rationing for vehicles, even though it would very difficult to set up a rational "fair" system. The way we are going now, average people cannot afford to pay for the fuel it takes to get to work, or to sustain their lives and the lives of their families. *average* people? You know, the non-rich...the ones whose family income, according to John McBluster, is less than $5 million a year. Leaves out Obama. |
