Why Do I Live Here, Again?

I got my voter pamphlet! I hope you all remembered to register. *adjusts Good Citizen Halo*

 

Here’s why I love living in Utah:

 

“… I believe in fiscal discipline and a strong military.  I oppose abortion, and believe that marriage is a union between a man and a woman. We must stop illegal immigration at the border and protect American jobs. Combating global arming (sic) and moving America towards greater energy independence is vital. America must win the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and bring our troops home. I firmly support the right of Americans to bear arms. …”

 

Thank you for that statement, Democratic candidate for Congressional District 3! I am glad I live in a different district!

That's the Democrat? ::boggles:: I'm very very glad I don't live there.

I never really checked into this, but I read somewhere that the political discourse in this country has slid so far to the right that, at least on paper, Richard Nixon looks more liberal than any serious candidate in the Presidential Primaries during this past year.

Reminds me of growing up in Nebraska -- I could buy our third district being like that, if the voters would even listen to a Democrat.

There was a committee meeting that went like this.

We need a candidate...

Not like we have any chance of actually winning....

Yes, but if we never run anyone that would be lame....

Nobody wants to run.....

Well there is the crazy guy....

But he's crazy....

He could finance himself.....

At least we'd have a candidate on the ballot...

Make the other guy at least have to try....

Ok, we go with crazy guy. Just don't ask me to do anything for him.

My good citizen halo is currently out of order.

Also, dear gods, they've abandoned all pretense of being on our side. o.o
