Don't forget to get your annual dose of "democracy" today
Regular visitors to this site know me as saying there is only one primary difference between Democrats and Republicans: They tell different lies to get elected. However, in light of our current madness, I do sometimes entertain the thought that it might be helpful to have a Democrat-controlled Congress for this reason: Gridlock. Even if Democrats agree with much of Bush’s agenda (as most do), they’d vote against his legislation for purely partisan reasons. The resulting gridlock just might slow the planetary assault.
Then again, with Democrats being more honest about their intentions, even gridlock is a pipedream. Plus, who really knows how the votes are cast and counted? You might wanna read this before you vote.
In other words, it’s hard to give a rat’s ass who wins (sic) today.
George Carlin sez: “I don’t vote. Two reasons. First of all it’s meaningless; this country was bought and sold a long time ago. Secondly, I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. People like to twist that around - they say, ‘If you don’t vote, you have no right to complain’, but where’s the logic in that? If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people into office who screw everything up, you are responsible for what they have done. You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with.”
